Or sometimes you can just get a good laugh. I've transformed this blog to not only include chronicles of MY drama filled 29.5 years of life but to also request stories of YOUR drama filled lives. So here's my story...I'm legally beautiful. Thanks for coming out God Bless and goodnight!

2008, 30 and 1....

Clearly I have neglected my faithful readers...all 10 of you, lol...and for that I apologize. I can only write when I am uninhibited and I have been succumbed with drama for the past 4 months. The tyranny of emotions have passed and I am back to my usual CRAZY self and enjoying life as a soon to be 30 year old WOMANJI (don't ask). I would like to take this time to reflect on 2007 and what I have learned from it all.

Lesson No. 1 - NEVER fuck with a man whose baby mama who has absolutely NOTHING going for herself. Misery loves company and she will figure out a way to make your life just as miserable as hers.

Lesson No. 2 - Trust your instincts. GOD has instilled in all of us a self regulating mechanism which subtly warns us of danger and it is up to us to trust that HE is steering us in the right direction.

Lesson No. 3 - You must change your routine in order to find that something new! If you keep looking for a certain "type" of man, you will keep getting treated a certain "type" of way. Don't look for someone to complete you, look for someone who will compliment you.

Lesson No. 4 - Don't kill the messenger. If you were talking shit about someone and they happen to found out because someone you told told them, don't be mad at the messenger be mad that your STUPID self wasn't smart enough to recognize who your real friends are. And FYI, I'm sorry goes a LONG way.

Lesson No. 5 - Don't be afraid to take your cho cha off the negotiating table. Premature intimacy gives the illusion that the relationship is progressing faster than what it really is. It's just sex to him ladies!

Lesson No. 6 - NEVER leave your DNA at the scene of the crime.

Lesson No. 7 - The silicon inserts really do give the perception of cleavage. So rather than dying on the surgery table, a quick trip downtown and $10 dollars can do wonders!

Lesson No. 8 - Don't buy out the bar, buy the night spot!

Lesson No. 9 - Make sure that you are in a relationship for all the right reasons. Never settle. It's just not worth it. Be okay with being alone. Good things come to those who wait. Whether you are 25, 30 or 35, GOD has a plan for you and it is up to you to let him prepare you to receive it.

Lesson No. 10 - Don't ever leave your coats around any of the members of Tres Monet...you might night ever see it again. (Where in the fuck is my hyena fur bitches??!?!?!? I left it at the table when y'all was performing at the Snooty Fox and apparently no one has seen it since)!


Of course most of you will infer, and properly so, that my drama was caused in some way by a man. But as I sit here I realize that it has EVERYTHING to do with me and why I tend to settle for men who are less than worthy. I've been in 3 serious relationships and I have learned from each and every experience. I am determined not to be bitter. And why should I be, I have everything going for myself and more. Up until now, I thought I was ready but I realize I am not. I was not okay with being ALONE. Just ME didn't seem quite fulfilling enough for me. And if you know me I might have made a damn good argument to support my contentions but I was false. As I embark on 30 years of life love and the pursuit of happiness I understand that I have a ways to go and I am okay with that. I love my friends and family, special shouts out to those of you who have touched me from within (Nik Nak, Alana's mama, my Afrimenian, Clam Chowder, Breefah, Airhead, Winter's opposite, Professor Boyfriend, Mama of 3 to be, Geezy, Deebo, and my 8 o'clock service companion (you figure it out)), and as long as I have you all around I know that everything's gonna be alright.

In closing I'd like to wish you all a Happy New Year and I can't wait to see what 2008 has in store for all of us.

Secret Lesson No. 11 - You can flag ANY picture on some one's myspace and it will automatically be deleted. Who fucking knew?!?!?
