New Years Eve...Goodbye 2009....and....

This New Years Eve was spent @ The Esplande Mall window shopping and I did some AMAZING Rocawear and Russell Simmons Argyleculture denim pants! I also bought some Clavin Klein "Eternity" Cologne! I love dressing and smelling good! So, I just basically worked mah last shift @ Sears today & the seasonal job has come to an end! I am hearing the sounds of firecrackers outside booming form casinos, riverboats, etc! It is always very exciting to hear these sounds. As dangerous as Time Sq. is in New York City, I would still want to be out there to see the ball drop. That is like a NYC tradition and I just want to be able to experience things that I know will be hard to do. That is a new years resolution I make for mahself! I made some egg nog MINUS the rum (because I do not drink), and it came out good. I try to continue the traditions that my mother use to do when we were a family-just for me. Happy New Year!!

6 Days Left AND Seeing A True Friend

I have only a few more left until mah trip and I am both excited, but at the same time a little nervous because of all these airline accidents that are occurring very rapidly. Tonight I talked with a very good friend of mine and he is worth mentioning. Brady is my dogg for life! He is the greatest friend that I could ever hope and pray for! He is trying so hard to find a way to see me when I am in Utah next week. We both are determined to see each other; that's friendship to me! I am so blessed to have a friend like Brady who WANTS to spend time with me and see me....it makes me feel really good to know that he has my back and will be there for me if I need anything so this post I dedicate to Brady, mah boy!!

Christmas v. "Act of Terrorism!"

CHRISTMAS STORY: This Christmas was very boring, just like Christmas Eve. I got a lot of text message love from friends wishing me a very Merry Christmas. I was reflecting on my deceased relatives today and saying a silent prayer in my heart for them, I had Christmas Dinner with my family and then that was it. I was planning on going nad seeing "Avatar 3D" but I was searching for a parking spot for too long and when I discovered that it was 9:25pm, I headed back to my house because the Box Office line was most likely long as hell and then I would not have gotten a good seat...this is y I go to movies an hour early to avoid this traffic and buy my ticket days in advance...people just don't understand that about me!

THE TERRORISM STORY: I was in my living room and I was flipping the channels and I turned it on toe FOX News and there was this story about this 23 year old guy form Nigeria and how he wanted to blow up a Delta Airplane as a "attempt of terrorism!" I have traveling in 9 days and I have to get on an airplane with all this on my damn mind! I was freaking out when 9/11 struck, then I got past it and was comfortable traveling, now to find out that I have to be on a United airplane-the same United place that is identical to the United 93 flight that crashed on 9/11 and now to deal with this that I saw tonight on top of it!! How much more can I take?????? There is NO way in hell that I am just going to get on a plane and NOT be thinking about this!!! What can TSA and airlines do to make us feel more comfortable and safe??? What???

Christmas Eve+Tornado Watch 'til 6PM=Bad Christmas Eve

This year's Christmas Eve-hmmm....what should I say about it....I can say, yea, it was raining heavy, lots of flooding, and a big tornado watch practically all day today! This was the WORST Christmas Eve ever....I remember when I was younger, I use to sit under the tree until Midnight and I would want to open up the gifts all day, but my parents never would allow me too. Sitting by a warm fireplace and all that....the only thing that was missing was the snow falling outside on the trees and the heavy winds. To me, a "white" Christmas should be in every state/region in the universe-the way that people imagine it to be! When the weather did clear up-I went out to the Malls and they were crowded with people shopping and laughing with their family and friends and it made me feel bad knowing that my family is all dissolved now and is a wreck! When I got back to my place, I just got online n messed around on the net and watched a few movies.....this is how I spent my Christmas Eve-not the best, trust me I know!! :(((((((((((((

Entering The Single-Digit Countdown This Weekend!!!

On today, it makes 12 days until I leave for mah trip and I still so excited-this Saturday, I will be on 9. Tonight I caught a glimpse of the airplanes landing and taking off of the runway at the New Orleans International Airport. I have never in my life encountered 7 planes all taking off at the same exact time-one after the other! I picked a very good day to see planes. Ever since 9/11 truck, I never ever wanted to get anywhere near an aircraft, but proper measures where being taken were passengers would feel safe and comfortable and that makes me more relaxed. I bought my ticket on Priceline & I have to be on three different types of airlines: Continental, Frontier, and United. Given that movie "United 93", I am kind ao scared to get on a plane that is identical to the one that crashed. I try to block that out of my mind-when I flew before, I never thought of 9/11, but to be on a plane that is identical to the one that was hijacked scares me to death! I know that God will protect me and watch over me, but I still cannot shake that feeling! :(

I also found out today that my friend Kurtis will be getting hitched to his sweetheart, Grace! :)

Did You Hear About The Morgans Premiere!

This movie was not as good as I anticipated it would be. It lacked in originality; everything was TOO PREDICTABLE!! There were no hidden agendas. It was just too plain...Sarah Jessica Parker needs to stick to Sex and the City movies. I was very disappointed in this film. I t was okay, but no where in the vicinity of great! The previews fooled me again! :(

I mean, it had that funny storyline to it, maybe the acting sucked or they nedded better actors, I dunno, but for whatever reason it was not good at all. I mean, it cmae in fourth place opening weekend! That is weak! So sowry Hugh and Jessica!!

Mah 73 Inch Big Screen TV

I've always been kinda skeptical to post pictures of my television on here or anywhere but it is the Christmas Holidays and this TV was a graduation present and I am honored and proud 2 have it! I am worthy of it n I have always wanted a TV of this size! Yes, there are BIGGER TV's out there, but this one is the biggest that I have ever had in all of my entire life! I love it! I have so many DVD's and I have not watched all of them yet on my TV! Lol....hopefully I get a Blu-Ray player soon and surround sound system-that would only enhance the sound and picture quality of a movie on a TV of this magnitude!!!! I do know for a fact that when I watch "Deep Blue Sea," the sharks look like they are going to burst out of the TV screen! And when I watch "Fast and the Furious," it is amazing! Certain movies are the bomb on this thing!

21 More Days Left!!!

Oh man, I am so excited! In such a great mood! I live about 5 minutes away from the New Orleans International Airport and I find mahself driving there almost every other day just to see planes take off and land and at times when they are on the runway, I try to keep up with them! Ha! Just the mere thought of flying gets me excited! I love to be in the actual airport just watching airplanes land and take off! It is kinda difficult in the car because I cannot pull off 2 the side of the road, but I still feel like a kid at Christmas time and before I had a real FEAR of flying due to 9/11 then when a US Airways plane landed in the Hudson River a while back, all of the events really make me reflect and REVERT back to my fear, but I am trying to get past that fear! I am so excited because all the friends that I am going to be re-connecting with on my trip and wanting to do this and that with me, have fun, catch up, talk, chill, etc. I feel truly blessed that I have friends in my life that WANT to see me, WANT to do things with me, and SHOWS an interest in my life...I get excited because of their excitement just for me to arrive! That makes me feels special and appreciated and it is a good feeling!!! Thanks friends!!! I love y'all!!!

A Precious Day

A Precious Day for me is that I am still counting my blessings that I was able to get a Macy's credit card yesterday and just shop and not to exceed my credit limit. They had some great items that were on sale and I bargained up on them. My friend, Cinthia and I went to see a movie tonight, we went to see "Precious." I had already seen it, but she really wanted to see it and so I agreed to go with her because it is an emotional film and she did not feel comfortable going at it alone. We watched it and Cinthia did not fall apart...we took this picture today as well-being in the Christmas Spirit and all! HaHa! And then I got a surprise phone call form Tammy. I have not heard from her in a month....today blessings were just pouring out over me and I loved each and every one of them!

"The Twilight Saga: New Moon"

My feelings on this movie is that it was more in-depth and well produced....its meaning and purpose kept my attention! Twilight was alright, but this movie was so much better! I had not read any of the books, but this movie has more force, action, realness....it was like a teenage love story, given that is what it is to this generation, but I loved it and this one I will want to buy on DVD when it is released! I loved the ending-but I kinda figured out what was going to happen as I was hearing Edward...it was just a common sense thing! :)

Eye Choas & "Armored" Movie Premiere

I had been having some eye troubles for the past entire week and today I went to the eye doctor and he told me that I just had an allergic reaction to some thing and prescribed me some antibiotic eye drops and that the problem will dissipate! I was so glad to hear that because the eye is very sensitive and my health is nothing to play with so I had to make sure I was not losing my sight or anything like that! I am a firm believer is catching a problem as soon as it shows up!

"Armored" was a pretty good 'lil movie. It was fairly decent. Something that I thought was going to be predictable actually won't and I loved that! I love suspense-something that I am use to and think will happen won't happen I APPRECIATE so much in films nowadays because it so so rare! Laurence Fishburne got burned bad in this movie and it was funny! It had the right dose of suspense and the right touch of action/nothing too overly dramatic....just right!
