If you could have courtside seats for any basketball rivalry, which teams would you want to watch go head-to-head and in whose house?
I would love to go watch Miami Heat and the Cleveland Cavaliers! The Cavs are my favorite team and even though I feel like he betrayed me, LeBron in still my favorite NBA player. Miami or Cleveland would be fun, but I think I could get into more trouble in Miami lol
So I just completed my first freelancing job and I'm so psyched!!! I love writing and even though my assignment took all day it was totally worth it ^_^

Try Not 2B That Guy/Girl
So I was talking to this guy the other day and I told him that he was a straight asshole. I mean I love him to death (lol), but his opinions about relationships and females are very messed up. I've actually met a lot of dudes like him, but it never seems to fail that it was a female in their past that just screwed it up for the rest of us. That made me start thinking. Have you ever met a guy (or girl) that just has a very effed up opinion about females? Like he just doesn't care how he treats them or if he hurts their feelings? I have dated and befriended guys like that and I always end up finding out that he wasn't always like that. That once before he was a prince charming that cater to his woman's every need, but then she hurt him (and most of the time they hurt them more than once because at this point they still believe in second chances and making it work). After that they give up. They become cold and heartless towards women and their emotions. And then once they find someone good they still have a hard time trusting them fully because the past still haunts them. I actually sympathize with those guys now because I realized that I have become that girl (as much as it hurts me to say). I was hurt very bad by someone I put my all into. After that I just said fukk it. I stopped caring about dudes and their feelings and I damn sure wasn't about to devote myself to something that might not work. I just became numb to those type of feelings and emotions. I know you have to let go of the past and move on, but I compare being truly hurt by someone you are in love with to a 3rd degree burn. Once you are completely healed and the scars are gone, there is always that faint scar that is still there with you. What I mean that by is even though you let it go and move on, you will always be cautious....whether it is consciously or unconsciously. Maybe if everyone would just be truthful to one another and speak how they really feel we could get rid of "that one that messed it up for everyone". There are better ways to deal with situations then some of the ways we choose...
What summer concert would you love to watch from the front row?
I would have paid anything to see some of Drake's performances in Canada!!!
If you had the chance to travel for a year, where would you go?
If I had the chance to travel for a year I think I would visit the Capri Islands in Italy and Sydney, AU. Two totally different places with so much history and sights to take in...I'd love it!

Thank You Now...
Anyone who knows me knows that I'm a huge fan of Drake's music. He wanted "Thank Me Later" to be the cd of the summer and in my opinion it is! I hate hearing a few songs off a cd and then when I buy it the only songs worth listening to is the singles that were released. Every song on Drake's cd could be a single and I love that! His entire style and demeanor is completely different from all these other artists out right now and I believe he is changing the way people look at hip hop and rap. I've heard a lot of dudes complain that he singing to much on his cd, but you can tell that Drake is a very sensual and emotional person; therefore, all of his songs shouldn't be edgy and gangsta because at that point I don't believe we could really see who Drake it. Throughout the entire cd you can feel his emotions and his energy. This has got to be my favorite cd and if you haven't heard the whole thing you are missing out!

It's kinda weird...
So I was watching Tosh.0 one day, and he was talking about the website highdeas.com where smokers post what they are thinking while smoking weed. I went to the website one day just to see and someone made a post that kinda made me think. The post basically was talking about all the people you glance or look at every day without them knowing and if you had ever thought about how many people see you throughout the day that you will never know about. Just sit and think of the people you glance at, walk behind, see in cars, in stores and such that never even knows you're there...now imagine how many people see you...

For My Mother
This is the article that I wrote for mother's day that was in the newspaper. If you like my writing skills please comment ^_^
“My Mother”

Scriptures come from Proverbs 31 (verses will be listed)
“A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies.” 31:10
These days it is so hard to find a good woman. Modern technologies have made things so easy and carefree, it is hard to find a lady who cooks, cleans, and takes care of home like a wife and mother should. Trying to be equal to man has made many women believe that this is not their duty any more. My dad was lucky enough to find my mother.
“She gets up while it is still night; she provides food for her family…” 31:15
My mother always said breakfast was one of the most important meals of the day. During my younger days every morning before I went to school and my father went to work, my mother would have a hot breakfast prepared for us so we could start the day off right. She didn’t believe my father needed to be at work on an empty stomach nor that I needed to be at school hungry taking focus away from my schoolwork. I will always be grateful for that because it was something so simple that she didn’t have to do, but she did. You see, my mother worked at the Lee Company for 16yrs before decided to leave and become a stay at home mother after her father, who was taking care of me while both my parents worked, became sick. With that being said, since she was a stay at home mom, she didn’t have to wake up and cook at 5am to get my dad off to work. She also didn’t have to stay up till it was time for me to get ready and cook again so that I could have a hot breakfast before she drove me to school.
“She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks.” 31:17
My mother is a busy woman. For some staying at home includes laying around, watching tv, drinking coffee, and just dabbling around. My mother is different. After my dad and I were both out the door she went to work on making sure the house was clean, shopping for the house was done, and starting dinner for when we came home. I often wonder how she accomplishes so much in so little time, but my mother is very productive.
Not only does she take care of the house, but many people call her for assistance with their different business endeavors. She has the knowledge and wisdom of years of experience. My mother might not have went to college, but she has the smarts and business intuition of a business scholar; therefore, people trust and listen to her when they need help or just information on things.
“She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy.” 31:20
My mother is a Christian and firmly believes in helping the less fortunate. As long as she’s able, she will do all that she can to help someone who needs it. She has a deep heart and she is rooted in Christ and for whatever she can’t help someone with herself, she will take your hand and send a powerful prayer to the one who can help. She doesn’t do anything for praise or glory. Just to know that she helped one of God’s children is enough.
“She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come.” 31:25
Many times I have told my mother if she loses her strength and faith we would all lose it. Her hope in a brighter tomorrow and her faith in the Lord keeps optimism in our lives daily. She doesn’t sit and worry about what is to come. She believes where there is a will, there is a way. She knows the Lord will make a way out of no way. I think to all the times when I was just a child and I would listen to her walk around the house singing, “The blood that gives me strength from day to day. It will never lose it’s power.” Being younger, I just thought of it as a song we sung in church, but as I got older I realized all the obstacles that life throw at you can take away your strength. Through all the trials and tribulations my mother always wakes up with a smile on her face thanking God that she lived to see another day.
“She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue.” 31:26
My mother has always been there for me. There has never been a problem to big or to small I couldn’t get advice on from her. She speaks from her heart and for anything she can’t answer she can give me an encouraging word to make it through. Sometimes she can just read Psalms 23 to me and you can hear the power in her voice as the word of God is spoken by her. There has been many times I have disobeyed her and had to pay the consequences, but she’s not the type to punish me. All she’ll say is I would never tell you wrong and gives me advice to correct my misdoings.
“Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her.” 31:28
My mother has always tried her best to raise my brother and me properly and even though sometimes we stray off track she is always there to catch us when we fall. We both adore her and wish to see her happy for all the days she lives. And we know we are blessed to have her.
My mother is also a good wife. She lives by the vows that were said 34 years ago. Through rocky times she has always stood by my father no matter what. Good or bad, rich or poor she has stuck around during the worst and best. Some would call it quits as soon as the road began to become unsmooth, but her faith and strength as a woman has kept her strong enough to make it through everything.
\
“Many women do noble thing, but you surpass them all.” 31:29
My mother goes above and beyond what’s expected of her. Over the years she has not only been a wife and raised a family, but she has taken care of her mother, taken care of her father, her paternal aunt, and also one of her maternal aunts all until death. Making sure she could do any and everything she can for her family was one of her main obligations. Not only did she do for her family, but she often reaches out to others, even strangers. She’s made an impact on many people in her years on earth.
“Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.” 31:30
My mother carries herself well and presentable. She doesn’t just speak the word of God, but she lives it. She is a God-fearing woman who is proud to tell the world the wonders of God’s love. She is a Christian and that is how she wants the world to see her.
“Honor her for all that her hands have done, and let her works bring praise at the city gates.” 31:31
Everyone feels that their mother is the best and I believe to each their own. But for me, my mother is the greatest mother I could have. She is my strength and my rock. If I could give her all the praise I feel she deserves for all she do, I would be praising her until I breathe my last breath. My love, honor, and respect for my mother shall never be broken. This is why love my mother.
