Book review(first ever!! LOL)

Well i know im mad late with this one. However, im entitled to my opinion and I for one believe that Steve Harvey's book, Act Like A Lady, Think Like A Man is the absolute truth. It truly is like a "playbook". After reading it, i see the opposite sex and relationships in a totally different light. It really did open my eyes. I was in the dark so to speak. If i knew half of the stuff in there, maybe i could have a real loving, long-term relationship. And another thing, you know a book is mad good when you dont wanna put it down and you read it all in less than 2 days time. Even though hes not a professional author, that was one of the best non-fiction books i have read in a long time. From now on, ill have to keep those things in mind; his advice is priceless. If you havent read it yet, you must. Thats all i have to say. Until next time, Peace, Joy and Love.

Its been a min and i got alot on my mind......++

Hey yall. I know its been a min. But a sisters been busy. I gotta get paid. LOL. Anyway i been practicing my driving, i been workin and i have been reading(unfortunately, school starts again soon so i gotta be on my A game) as well as workin on my cookin and bakin( i love some good food LOL). Well enough of that time to get to the point of this post.

I have been noticing some things I dont like so i feel the need to point them out:

1) Why does it seem like a girl has to have the perfect body? I mean seriously. If you dont have the biggest butt, bug-a-loos(breasts for yall that dont know LOL), or the thickest thighs or hips, you get pushed aside. Thats all you see in the videos. And another thing why every girl gotta have fake everything(hair, nails, eyelashes, etc etc.) to be accepted? Its a shame that you gotta do all that to get a man to notice you. Well at least it seems like it. I just wanna know what happened to the days when you could get away with being natural and a dude liked you for that? I guess those days are long gone.

2) Why does every dude i talk to (for the most part) only care about sex or if they dont talk about sex they talk about somethin else dumb that i dont care about. Maybe i need to stop talkin to those dudes and find some different dudes that are on my level. (but thats easier said than done)

3)Why is it so hard to stay focused when i know i got more important things to accomplish in my life? I do need to strike a balance between fun and work/school i guess. But its just hard. Ill either do the imp stuff or do whats fun. I guess im just too lazy and its summer time so that doesnt help. But excuses are for losers so i better get my life together. LOL

4)Why is it that when i want something i dont get it, but the things i dont want fall right into my lap? It's just weird. I guess god is tryna tell me something. Maybe what i want is not what i need.

5) Its so strange how you can be lonely and have people around.

6) Its crazy how people say they like you and what not but they dont call you, so i guess you're supposed to call them. And even when you do that they probably wont answer so um...im lost. Im gettin mixed signals. In this case, i just wanna say forget it, but for some reason i go against my better judgment and continue to waste time.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Here are some things i like:

7) Dudes who have facial hair(but not too much, it has to be smooth not all scruffy).

8) A man who can sing(theres something about a man with a melodic voice).

9) A man who can cook( thats just so sexy LOL).

10) A dude whos going somewhere in his life and he knows what he wants.

11) A man who pays attention and actually cares about how you feel.

12) A man who sees me for who i am and doesnt run away just b/c i have flaws.

===========================================================

CDS im really feeling right about now:(nothing like cds that you can play right through without skippin a track; they dont make many of those anymore)

13)neyo-year of the gentleman

14)jennifer hudson-jennifer hudson

15)musiq-on my radio

16)day 26-forever in a day

17)j holiday-round 2

18)ciara-fantasy ride

Well thats my piece. Be back with more next wk if i have time. Peace, Joy, and Love.

Reality

Its amazing how i always complain about how bored i am. When there really is so much that i could be doing. And i always complain about how my life isnt as exciting as it should be (in my opinion), but some people arent blessed to still be alive and well right now, while god has blessed me to be alive and relatively healthy. I take that as a sign, that my work here on earth isnt done and it probably hasnt even begun. I take that to mean that i need to stop wasting the time i do have, b/c tomorrow isn't promised and i should cherish every moment. I also interpret that to mean that brighter days will come and as i mature and become wise i will realize that it's okay that my life isnt movie worthy. I just need to get out there and enjoy it regardless. I dont really know where im going with this. but i have noticed lately that im just extremely bored and my mom has even pointed it out too, in one way or another. She stated that i need to"stop waiting for the next moment and just enjoy the present and make my life exciting". That seems sort of true, i guess. I have heard that you control your destiny, so you choose the path you travel on in life. You direct your future. You make things happen. So like i have said before i need to stop being on "autopilot" in my life and take charge and go after what i want and expect. Because if i learned one thing, nothing comes free or falls out of the sky, if you want something, you gotta earn it or make it happen. Its a cold world out here and everybody is out to better themselves and acquire some wealth of their own. So i need to wake up and smell the roses.

I guess in a way i have been taking life for granted and not appreciating what i have done and accomplished. I keep looking for the next moment or the next thing, instead of enjoying the present. However, in reality you cant turn back time, and trust me there are many times that i wish i could. I need to learn to just be and thank the lord above for every waking moment and for his mercy and grace. Well thats just how i was feeling at the moment, i had something else in mind, but...i think ill save that for friday. See yall later. Peace, Joy, and LOve.
