Things I Learned in '07

While I was ranting on myspace this morning (which is an ENTIRELY different story) I started to think about the things that I learned and or accomplished last year. And probably still need to work on in '08. And these are the results...

1. Actually left a dude when it was time to leave (instead of waiting for another month, year, or mess up)

2. Seriously moved on from an egregious heartbreak & meant it.

3. Sincerely apologized for hurting someone.

4. Was sincerely loved & appreciated.

5. Actually separated sex from love.

6. Gave myself the same respect I would have given someone else.

7. Took care of financial business.

8. Saved money.

9. Saved money for someone else.

10. Loved someone enough to say "no"

11. Kept the 'goods' to myself.

12. Learned that curiosity doesn't kill the cat but it hurts like hell when satisfied.

13. Somethings are just NOT worth your time.

14. There's a better way to say everything.

15. Fear is bullshit, but I still get scared.

16. You never get over some people.

17. Sometimes you don't wish people the best, but one day you will.

18. Sometimes you will & do care about people that don't care about you.

19. Sometimes 'fuck' is the only word that will do

20. Trusted God with my whole heart, soul, mind & body.

Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, ok. I KNOW I am extremely late. And I also know it's almost not even January anymore. But guess what? It's still 2008 folks so "Happy New Year" it is! There have been and probably will continue to be some slight administrative changes (which probably won't matter b/c I have a readership of like 2, but I love you all the same-kisses) on the blog. The most obvious one being that the artist formerly known as my "favorite chocolate drop" Reggie Bush is no longer on his own personal welcoming slideshow. The reasoning is simple: that was '07. In '08 I'm moving on to different chocolates, brown finesses or whatever may come, b/c I don't discrimination when it comes to sweetness. While it's on my mind, I would like to say a heartfelt RIP to all the loved ones we lost in '07 & the tip of '08 famous (PIMP C, Big Moe, Heath Ledger), personal (god-nephew, cousin's grandma) and whoever else decided to end their personal journey here on earth. Additionally, I would like to send congrats to everybody that had personal/professional victories this year
(my cousin for getting it poppin with the Giants and going to the SuperBowl-Yay!, Q for being on her way to Brazil to play her heart out in soccer, & baby sis for being on the way to NY to make it happen) 2008 is different folks. I can feel it in the air. So you better go ahead and claim your greatness now. If not, you'll only have yourself to blame in the end. And trust me, it will not be worth it.
