Another Year with a Late Hello!!

Hello, no this isn’t Loinel Richie or Adele!

Happy Year New Everyone

Yeah, I know that I am late with publishing my first piece for the New Year.  In my defense, as soon as I got into 2017 I took off running with so many things to do.  I know I going thru January, I mean I saw the dates, I just could not recognizes them.  Sorry!! 

So I have not made New Year’s Resolutions!! Why??  Because I will break them within two weeks, however, I have set short term goals for this year.  I made a list:

ü  Finish school this year.  This is going to be harder that having a boyfriend.

ü  Create a new network of friends here is Dallas.  That would be easier than having a boyfriend.

ü  Find that company with that good paying position.  That would be better than having a boyfriend.

ü  Though for the past 3 years I have been saying that I am going to buy a car! I really need to do that this year, because this to would also be better that having a boyfriend. 

ü  Last year I think I travel twice.  This year I have decided to get away for 3-day weekends once a month somewhere is the different states.  Depending on where I am going, I might need to bring batteries because boyfriend cannot be included.

Though, the thought of taming the current Alpha male is both intriguing and boring, that I am keeping him a secret from the family, which brings a very big smile on my face every time I talk to him.  So when I told Auntie Do that I going away for a romantic gateway next month, she asked with whom?  I told her my pimp in training!  I think that is how I would like to spend this year, training my latest pimp
.
Torturing my mother more often is also include on my list of things to do.  Having that communication with my mother is the same as a drop signal regardless of what phone I used. 
I joined this organization called Dallas International to get out and see the city more.  We can contribute this to this none existing street smarts that I currently don’t have.
And before I forget, I need to get my storage down here because this girl here misses her dictionaries.  

Though I am still in that “What happen in 2016?” stage, I know what happen I just can’t believe some of the stupidity that took place in 2016.  My heart is crying for all those whom we have lost in 2016 and I am not just talking about celebrities like George Michaels and Prince, but all those who were homicide victims, those who died in terrorism acts, and those who died in natural cause of all sorts.   I think that 2016 was a heart breaking year of many of us.

So now we are in February, it is National Black History Month and Valentine’s Day coming.  It still amazes me that every year I, should I say we, get to learn new interesting facts about other African Americans who have also tribute to our society in one fashion or another.  At the same time, thisis one of those times where I like the fact that social media is spreading Black Month thru all means for everyone including those who are to the U.S.A. know the history.


I can only hope that for the rest of 2017 we all have a happy progressive year, in whatever areas that we need help in, get that help from those of us who understand what humanities are and from the Lord himself!

Learning Language and Love

Okay so once again I was reading in my favorite book, The Book of Questions when I became stuck on this question: If it was the only way you could remain with the love of your life, would you be willing for both of you to wake up tomorrow as native speakers of an unfamiliar foreign language, knowing the within a week you’d permanently forget the languages you now speak and largely be cut off from your friends and culture?  If so, what new language would you want to speak, and why? The first thing that came to mind was who would not want a lover or have the thought of having that foreign lover who could either speak French and Italian.  I know I did and I think that is why I took up Spanish in high school for the last 2 years. Then when I got in college, I continue with my Spanish and I took up Russian, Greek and Italian. Crazy right? Considering the Greek and Russian alphabets are so similar and that Spanish and Italian have some similar words. It was not until 9 ye...

Is it Jealousy or What?

I so need to vent and usually when I vent I often go to one of my friends, however, what I need to vent about, I am sure that maybe one or two of you are also dealing with the same thing. I have some family members that are just simply either jealous of my accomplishments or just mad that they themselves did not also reach their own potential, goals or dreams. I am going to tell you two major things that bothers me about my family.  But first, let me give you some insight as to where this all came from. When I was young around when I was still in grade school, I told my grandmother that I was going to accomplish 3 things in my life: live in Europe (actually moved to Istanbul, Turkey), become a model which I never did and I forgot what the third thing was, however, I did accomplish it. I was also in  high school when I got pregnant with my son Nick, while I was in labor, I told my mother and my grandmother that I would never have another. So come 2006 or 2007 and my gr...

Breaking the Cycle!

As a parent we always want the best for our child(ren)., and we start with educating them on things that we think that would be best for them to know as they grow up.  I was still a teenager when I became pregnant with my only child, Nicolas.  Did I wanted a child at that time?  No I didn't and it was my mother who said to keep him and that she would help me raise him.  My mother was also a teenage parent starting with me and a year later came my one of two brothers.  Now you are probably thinking that my mother why didn't she teach me not to become a teenage parent?   I am assuming that and I was right, that she did not know how.  She wanted to do my best with my life but she did not know to explain to me how to go about living life.  Growing up with 3 younger siblings I saw the struggles that my mother went through, and in my head I knew that I was not willing to do some of things that she.  I knew in my head that if I was ...
