Childhood crush..
I have been in LOVE... (yes LOVE) with Tevin Campbell since I was a child.. He brings me to tears (literally) That voice.. That FACE... Everything about him. I'm pushing 23 years old now... so he must be in his late 20s/ early 30s... If he is not married.. I would LOVE to marry him and have his children... and I am NOT playing... Here are a few links to his videos.. and LIVE performances.

Phoenix Suns GAME #1
..... I AM a CELTICS/CAVS fan.... But I must say that I am loving how well the Suns have been playing throughout the 2010 NBA Finals Playoffs..... Grant Hill has always been an impeccable player and I love seeing that he has a chance (finally) to compete. I am NOT a fan of the Lakers.... As a team they are the #pitts (my OPINION) and I am also NOT a fan of Kobe. I sincerely think he is a COON and no matter what team plays him... I will ALWAYS root for them... (The game is on NOW... sooo hopefully (fingers crossed) the Suns come out on top tonight!
More than meets the eye...
I'm a very upfront person... What you see is what you get from me... I guess that is why I have had trouble in the past with certain folk. I am looking for "more than meets the eye". When I am friends with a person... I usually don't hold anything back.... as I expect the same from the other person... But lately, I feel as though that is a trait that I need to change about myself. I am quick to tell my friends when I am sad or am having an issue, the same way I expect for them to be able to come to me with anything... I usually don't get that... I will say that there are a FEW (and they know who they are) that have ALWAYS been there for me and I truly appreciate them for that. But then there are other who KNOW who they are that have taken advantage of my willingness to be open. I HOPE for them that I never get that bored and SPILL THE BEANS about the things that they have done to those who are actually THEIR CLOSE FRIENDS. I don't make idle threats, I make promises... I will NOT do anything ratchett if it is NOT done to me. I am not that kind of person. But I do believe in DOING UNTO OTHERS AS THEY HAVE DONE UNTO YOU.. I don't do that "turn the other cheek" mess. People don't understand NICE Prissy...They only understand when I am a BITCH or when I am rude. I would LOVE for people to STOP with the BS and keep in 100.... If we don't talk then we don't talk.. I am quick to cut off people and go on about my life as if they had never existed... It's a wonderful trait to have and I wish more could have it.... I know that I am rambling on, but people need to realize that stuff they try to pull will NOT go unnoticed. :-)

Voodoo Queen- Marie Laveau
I have been reading up a lot on my history and came across an interesting woman, her name was Marie Laveau and she was a Voodoo Queen that lived in New Orleans throughout the 18th century. She was VERY popular and it is said that til this day, her grave is visited more frequently than Elvis! Here is a link to her bio. This link also includes some history on the early practices of Voodoo as well as a re-enactment of Laveau herself.
Random...
Sooo.. I'm feeling quite random today... I woke up wanting to run (which I've been doing for that past 2 weeks ), wash my hair, do laundry and clean the kitchen... Which all seem quite "normal", but I usually do these things towards the middle of the week.... I don't know what's come over me lately, but I feel the urge to "re-organize" my life... Like if I don't do something at "that" moment, i will feel bad about it. I like to get things done soon as I notice it so that I do not have to worry about it later.... Blah Blah...

Dreaming...
What does it mean when you keep having the same recurring dream? My dream has a mixture of a lot of things... It's always with the same few people. And it always has to do with the same theme.... Life/school/work (even though I don't work)... it's really weird. I must say that I do like what happens.... I always end up happy and I'm guessing that's what my dreams are telling me. That no matter what I am going through at this time, eventually things will get better, and the people who are always in my dreams are those that are going to help me achieve it... :-)
Brand New...
I had an epiphany late last.. I have way too much energy to be in a small city.. I am a big city kinda woman.. I don't need to be confined to some small ass college town where lately I have been feeling as though I have been losing the last bit of mind I have. This past Spring semester was very "interesting" to say the least. I've done things I've NEVER thought I would. BUT, it doesn't mean that I apologize for it. Or for anything else.... I have made a lot plans for myself and I am going to go through with ALL of them. It just takes extra special caution for them to get executed properly... You'll see... My time is NOW.
