EYE MADE MY POINT

I met a rather ignorant guy in Staples today who was certain that ALL black people have ALL black eyes. I thought he was kidding, but when he said he wasn't, I wrote down the link to my blog, and told him I'd post proof tonight. So, here goes it. Ignorance kills!

Calling All Junkies: Don't wait for Web Junk...

If you've ever been caught laughing out loud at work because your friend sent you a crazy wex video, chances are you're now addicted to VH1's weekly web-video countdown, Web Junk. If you are, you know that it's so damn good, you never wanna wait a whole week for a new episode to air. I found a site worthy of the mid-week fix, and I'm going to be nice and share it with you. I can't promise you'll find good, clean, fun, but I can promise it wil be good and fun. Check out this hilarious and entertaining way to procrastinate on the job. The site's called EnAddict.

Isn't He Lovely?

Since I'm always talking about my super cute, brand new, baby cousin when I'm out in public. I decided it's time again, to blag (brag on your blog) about him. Isn't little William Xavier Isiah Penn the cutest? I'm lovin' the smirk. (He get it from his momma!!) LOL. 

This is just a taste of what the famous water show at The Bellagio in Las Vegas is like....

So, you already know that while Gibran was here Arnie and I took him to Frisco to ride the famous Powell Hyde Cable Car Line. I just figured out how to put a video on my blog, so here's one we made while in the (long) line for the famous ride.

I PROMISE, PROMISE

I've mastered the "promise-ring pose. " That's right, fourth finger, left hand, baby!!! (Had it for more than a year, but I don't make it a point to brag...lol) 

Keep On Smilin'

Today was a very, very, very bad day for me. I won't say why, but I will say that sometimes I forget how hard it can be to smile. Stress is a bitch and if you let it, she'll terrorize your damn life. I say, hit her with a triple shot of Motrin (aka good faith, positivity, and a smile) and in the end, you'll wind up back in charge of your life. On a sidenote, all those out there considering grad school sometime in the near future, my advice to you: 1. Don't EVER look at it as having some time off. (I spend many nights still fully clothed asleep on my couch, and Saturday nights are rarely spent away from my computer.) 2. Don't lie and tell yourself it'll be a breeze, since you made it through undergrad and have a few years work experience under your belt. (Cause it SO aint!) 3. Don't fear traveling far away to do it. Sometimes when you have no safety net, you find that you can achieve and overcome SO much more by your lonesome. New city, new roads, new laws, new people, NO problem! (Did you know 84% of Americans grow up, attend school, marry, work, have kids, and die no more than 20 miles from where they were born?) Don't become one of those people. The world is too damn big for that. Don't you wanna have something to tell your kids? 4. Have all your fun before you come, because grad-school workload is no joke. Sure, you can do it, but I promise you that you won't have much time to party in the meantime. It's just not realisitic. Will you have a chance to let loose and find ways to relax? Yes. But, will you be able to procrastinate, cram, skip assignments and still get good grades? In the words of Ms. Whitney: Hell to the NAW! 5. GO FOR IT! All things are possible! Okay, enough lecturing from me....do you!

Hugs,
CP

I bought a new pair of hoops last week. In case you don't read my blog on the regular, I'll let you in on the secret: I'm addicted to earrings! I used to have like 50 pairs, but moving around as much as I do, you sort of loose track of inexpensive jewelry. You know? Anyway, here are the newest additions to my earring clan. Triple layer gold and cream hoops from DEMO!! MUAH!
