Laughter is the best medicine

So last night was the Rickey Smiley & Friends show that I treated a group of my friends to. I must say that I had a blast. I have thumping headache today which is just totally ignoring the drugs I have taken to send it packing. *rolls eyes* I never really take medicine, but it's hitting THAT hard that I had to do something. The show was great. I had a ball, not only were the comedians on stage funny as hell, but me and my friends are FOOLS. We are truly crazy and I loved every minute of the outting. Down to the drama in the parking deck trying to get the hell up out of there and go the hell home. That was crazy...thought we were gonna have to put the whip in park and tap on some heads. Some people just do the dumbest *ish*.

Well Round 2 begins tonight. It's one of my best friends birthday outting and we are going to see Kevin Hart and then hit up the club. We haven't hung out in a very long time and it is long overdue. I can't wait. Gonna be just like old times.

On a sadder note, there have been alot of crazy senseless murders/deaths lately. It makes me realize how I gotta definitely get out and enjoy life, as well as, the family and friends that I have in my life. These outtings couldn't have come at a better time. Things have been kind of hectic lately. Super stressful to say the least, but it all goes to the back burner and is forgotten once I am out and about enjoying good times and good laughs with the people I love and appreciate in my life. It makes me feel that much better and makes me proud of myself that I could do something for my friends that we all could enjoy.

I guess now I need to start planning what I will do for my bday in 2010...I have to start early. Gotta do it right! :-)

Who's Real, Who's Fake!?!?

Man,
This is a topic that has come up ALOT in the conversations of me and my friends. It's alot of FRONTIN' going on these days. ESPECIALLY on the internet. Some people are allowing the absence of person to person contact to give them a false sense of esteem, power, and security. I feel sorry for the people who are being fooled more so than those who are doing the faking. For instance, there are more and more DOCTORED up pictures, as well as, STOLEN pics being posted and passed around. I remember I had a pic stolen way back when. I don't even get the point. Thankfully a friend of mine noted that the person said they lived in Michigan or something and that they were only 5'4. You can clearly tell from my full pics that I am NOT short at all. I kindly got a bunch of my guy friends to contact this broad and let her know that they knew the REAL ME..and I also contacted her and had this long drawn out message about the legal action I was taking and how her IP address had been tracked and some more *ish*. Needless to say, it didn't take long for the pics to be removed!. It's crazy, what joy do you get out of lying to YOURSELF and others about who you really are? You like getting attention based on something that you are NOT!? That's that bulls**t!
Then you got all of these internet gangstas, goons, and thugs/thugettes. *smh* Some I personally know that talk alot of good game via chats, Facebook, and Twitter knowing full d**n well when confronted in REAL life....away from the keyboard and monitor, things would NOT play out that way. But hey, if it makes them sleep better at night knowing that they just TYPED some "tough" stuff online..I guess let them do them, right!?!? I just find it amusing to say the least. The pics I could post or examples I could give to prove otherwise...buttttttttttttt nope, then I wouldn't have any entertainment.
I pride myself on being real. Too real for some. Yea, how is that possible? Well because I'm blunt and brutally honest, I'm seen as mean or evil. It's funny to me. The same thing that makes OTHERS say that....makes my REAL friends love me. I stick up for mine and do what I can for those who matter. That'll never change. If I don't value YOU or our friendship/relationship, then trust and believe you ain't getting naddaaaaaaaaaaa from me. :-) Speaking of...I am treating a few of the homies to an outting in Oct. to see Rickey Smiley. Just a little something to show my appreciation for the talks, laughs, good times, and help that each of them have provided. It should be a fun night!!
My holiday weekend was merely an extended weekend full of nothing special. I did some shopping but that's about it. Nothing else went according to plan...which is usually how it goes. Again...people be faking! If you aren't going to do something...be man enough or woman enough to let someone know that things have changed. If you aren't planning to do it at all, then don't EVER say you would/could. BE REAL!!!! How hard is it? Seriously!?!?

Still breathing....

I haven't posted in a minute. Nothing really of substance to talk about. Right now I'm in the process of moving..yet again. Nothing major...only like 10-12 mins from where I was. It's all good though. I will just be glad when it's all said and done!! :-)

Age Ain't Nuthin' But A Number...

The hell it is. I thought when you turned 18...you GREW UP! Apparently not. I've noticed in the past few weeks how a generous amount of so-called GROWN men and women have been acting real YOUNG! People throw around words like "hatin", "Being fake", and "childish"...when it is in fact these individuals who are behaving in such a manner. It's different to hate on someone and to not agree with what they do or to give criticism. It is a difference between choosing to IGNORE individuals or their actions and "being fake". Then when you don't stoop to immature measures...it is called being "childish"....wtf? People need to take a closer look at themselves....pull a Michael Jackson and take a look at the man in the mirror. What they see staring back at them just might not be who or what they think they are? Nobody is perfect, but I'm so sick of the so-called pot calling the kettle black. When will people just learn to keep it moving! Who cares!?!? Life is too short for the petty B.S. Stop reading so much into nothing. Wow someone isn't laughing and joking with you today...does that mean they are mad at you? Nope..maybe they got alot on their mind. Maybe they don't feel well. Maybe they are unhappy or just found out something bad/upsetting. You never know...but making assumptions that are INCORRECT only make matters worse. I for one don't look into anything extra unless you go out of your way to make it extra. If there are SEVERAL factors pointing at a problem..then I will take note and KEEP IT MOVING! Unless you are CLOSE fam or a best friend...I'm not bothered by it. You'll get over it....andif not..that's on you.

I'm just saying.....grow up! You aren't in high school....or shall I say..elementary school anymore!

The truth shall set you free

So much has gone on and is going on but I don't even wanna touch on any of it....what I'm here to speak about is one of my biggest pet peeves: LIARS/LYING . Okay, I've been told for a long time that I am MEAN or EVIL. The jist of this comes from be being brutally HONEST or blunt about facts. I am not one to sugar coat anything. WHY? Because those that I care about, I expect to be the same way with me. I'd rather you let me know what's up and RESPECT you for that, then to find out that you think, thought, or knew something differently than you put on. I respect honest opinions. I think it's my brutal honesty that keeps me closer to males than females. That's an odd logic..but it's true. WHY? Because I've had close female friends in the past that I offered up my thoughts on situations that they were involved in, things that I personally did not agree with. I didn't give ultimatums or anything like that just did the friendly thing: pulled them to the side and expressed my OPINIONS...didn't say this is what you SHOULD do or I'm out. Nope. I merely said, I don't think this is right or you may want to think about the consequences of this.....the final outcome..these SO CALLED individuals ended up on some MUTE s**t! Okay..whateva, not hurting me. I mean this is what a TRUE friend does, so apparently the level of friendship wasn't mutual. You live and you learn. I just don't get lying...yea we all probably tell a small lie here and there. I mean if you want to get out of doing something or going someplace....okay..stretch the truth. What I don't understand are the people who lie and get no type of benefit from making up the b.s. that they make up. I mean really...what is the point? I mean and what's even worse and when you find out that someone has been lying or you KNOW that what someone has told you is a lie, but the other person is not aware of the fact that you know. I'm definitely feeling some kinda way about this subject right now, due to some personal incidents in the past week or 2, but Karma is definitely a bitch and when she comes around...it is I who will have the last laugh!!!! Bwwahahahahaha!

People just really on some other *ish* these days. Between being phony and 2 faced...the lies are just out of control. To these individuals..I say "GO THAT WAY" !!!! And people wonder why I have stopped fooling with them like that. *sucks teeth* PUHLEASEEE!!! Where are the good HONEST people at? Are we a dying breed? Did truth go out the door like common sense?

Neglect....

I'm guilty. I haven't posted an entry into my blog in a very long time. I have actually been kinda doing me. Having fun. Living life. I could probably post a book right now with updates since the last post...but I ain't really feeling it right now. I'll be back soon with a post....I promise.


Until then....catch me on Twitter. :-) http://twitter.com/UniiqueChiq

Self Reminder

So this isn't really a blog post..it's just me reminding myself that the season premiere of Crime 360 comes on May 21st. If you don't know what it is....go here:

http://www.aetv.com/crime-360/


Sad Richmond finally gets some tv play and it's a CRIME show! *smh*

A Quickie....

Nope..not posting anything of the sexual nature. Just a quick post to let everyone know that I am STILL in the land of the living. Just grinding and trying to stay afloat in this crazy world.

Anywho.... I have become semi...(seriously..just a little bit) addicted to Twitter. Check the right column over there --> and follow your girl. Myspace is pretty much dead to me. I go on to check mail and jump right back off. Not feeling it anymore. Too much drama and stupid stuff. I still mess w/ Facebook for now and I have ventured back into Fubar. It's something to do.

Jigga's been seizure free....again for a month! WOOHOO!! I refuse to use any of the Advantix/Frontline/etc products right now because for real...I think that K9 Advantix was the culprit as I have stated before. I used Skin So Soft (shouts to my side gig as an Avon lady..lol)on him and he's been cool so far. He still saying "ain't no bugs on me" NO THANKS TO ADVANTIX!!! He is, however, gaining mad weight. The vet said the seizure meds would make him eat more. They never lied. He's probably around 11 or 12 lbs now...a month ago he was 8. His legs still long and boney..pretty soon he won't be able to hold himself up.

So...decided to update the list of thing I planned on doing this year to see how much I've done thus far. I also said I'd add to the list....well let me see what I can cross off and/or add:

1) a great two day 30th Birthday celebration


2) being in DC for the Presidential Inauguration


3) going to NY to visit the other fam I have up there


4) getting out and doing more fun stuff (less clubbin' more....something else!!)


5) taking a vacation, or 2, or 3


6) settling down *gasp* ....we'll see about this one


7) reaching that 5 year mark at my job. That is an ABSOLUTE first for me... 2.5 years is usually my max @ a place of employment


8) a new whip -- this is kinda TOP priority!!

9) Head to the beach in June for my homegirl's bday

10) Go against the grain and see what's good with "him"!

11) Write more - the poems clear my mind

12) Get another part time gig....technically I have 2 side gigs..but yea...I need #3


....hmm that is it for now.

I got a headache..... THIS big..

So I have had a headache basically every single day for the past week and a half. This is crazy. I know it's partly sinuses but mostly stress. Even factors that I don't think are bothering me..I know they are. UGHHH! I'm no stranger to headaches though. I've gone to the neurologist and I've had MRI's and all that. It's a catch 22 situation for me. Tylenol works..but only for like 1 or 2 hours. Not long enough to take another dosage and this is with 8 hr Extended Tabs....Ibuprofen DEFINITELY works but because it's so hard on the stomach..my dr. suggested NOT getting in the habit of using them that much. I can't take Migraine meds...cuz I'm not allowed to have caffeine. Only me!!! If it's not one thing..it's another

One stress off of me is that I have gotten my drama filled car off my hands....and gotten a new car. That is stress relief and new stress at the same time..MORE DEBT!! WOOHOO! LOL But at least I have reliable transportation. My car decides to get stupid as SOON as my warranty ran out. OF COURSE!!!

I have slept most of the day and shockingly, I am actually sleepy now! So guess I'll turn in shortly!

Making up for lost time

So blog world, here I am again...Posting a semi-overdue post. First off...old business...Jigga's seizures got super out of control. Ended up having 4 in 4 days. His seizure meds have been upped to 1/2 a pill twice a day. This dog is truly taking me through it. Thank god I'm an animal lover. Everybody says he's getting me ready for motherhood. Lord knows, my child gonna be STRAIGHT then because this dog has a wardrobe, an insurance plan that includes dental, is on medicine that I have to base MY schedule around. It's insane. But I'm getting through it.

It's been raining alot lately. The weather is still crazy (hot/cold, rain/sun)...so making plans is not coming easy. Last weekend I did NOTHING. Lounged around the crib the whole time..even with Sunday being pretty nice. I decided to make up for it this weekend...and I have. Hung out with my brother and his g/f @ TGIFridays for a couple of hours. Man, we seen some celeb lookalikes and some mo' *ish* up in there. Then caught up with a friend...who has been M.I.A (to say the least) for the past like 6 months. Got a few things off my chest that I've been holding in (shockingly) for months. Had dinner and a movie outting. Good times like always. Today I planned to lay low all day, butttttttt now I'm going to the movies...again..LOL Then tonight...CLUB time to celebrate my homegirl's bday. This is going to be crazy. We go all out for bdays around here.

Besides my busy weekend, everything is basically the same ol same ol'. Think I'm gonna get another part time job. I do have one, but I never go. LOL They even called me Thurs to say they had a shift...mind you..I haven't worked since March of 2008. Good to have something in ya back pocket to fall back on for some extra change if/when you need to. Nothing else really new. Ready to start making these mini vacations happen. Thinking about changing my scenery on a permanent basis soon possibly. Been dealing with crazy *ish* from certain individuals. UGH! I ignore it...I just turned 30...I wasn't childish when it was excusable, and I won't stoop to those levels now as a grown up. `Nuff Said!

Oh yea...
The past vs present situation....takes on a whole new twist. The blast from the past from the previous entry has been replaced w/ another one. LOL

THE SAGA CONTINUES...........
