the end..

it was great
happy moments
sad times
encouragement
arguing
love
disgust
anger
passion
deep feelings
a little resentment
but all love in the end...

that sums up what we were and it was a great ride....i'll never forget it on [you]
the things we went through cant be duplicated in any way and will forever hold a special place in my heart. sorry i wasnt ready for all you could be but i had to be honest and do what was best for me...i'll always be here

productivity

it's about that time to end on a STRONG note. these classes dont appear to be "difficult" per say but they do pose a few issues. I hope that in these last 20 odd days of class i don't mess up what i built first semester and finish with anything less than a 3.85 for the year. If I do that then I will definitely be on my way to a spot in PBK [Phi Beta Kappa]

a few idle thoughts

1. this semester has been CRAZY
2. other than my goonz in Graves, i dont bang with a lot of my bros =/
3. UNC better win tonight
4. time has flown by...remember when the strip was "poppin"
5. big byrd and purris' blogs keep me entertained
6. i need to get these grades right
7. anybody else excited for the probates????
8. can people please stop making paragraph facebook statuses??? just becuz you can doesn't mean you should
9.naps = <3
10. i cant stop loving Elena Estelle Washington...i feel mad dumb in love...BUT OH WELL [11.16]

time with the fam

i really enjoyed spending a beautiful saturday with the fam traveling to birmingham, alabama. we went to visit the birmingham civil rights institute [don't call it a museum, lol] and the history there overwhelmed me. it was a privilege to be in a place with such a historic past and a place where greats like dr fred shuttlesworth, dr martin luther king and rev ralph abernathy helped to make changes that i personally benefit from today. spending time with my grandmother, baby sister and mom is always a treat of some of the laughs and talks we shared I will always remember. :-D

refreshed

sometimes it takes a night alone...
a convo at 2 am in the cold of an atlanta night
to figure out what is right; for you, for her.
because of this i now feel refreshed,
replenished, and ready
for all that life has to offer
for me and her. i know we can do it
and only me or her can stop it

11/16/08 - until.....

sleeping DISorder

where to begin?? the past 3 nights [well, mornings] including this one I have not stayed asleep for more than 4 hours. That means going to bed by 2 and being up by 6. It is something that truly scares me because I've never had sleeping problems before and I think it's a clear sign that this college lifestyle has officially taken its toll on me. Although in high school I was never one who need 7-9 hours of sleep [usually slept by 1 and was up by 6] at least is was a consistent 5-6 hours. I should have noticed something was wrong when I went home for breaks and could never get more than 6 hours of sleep even if I had nothing to do the next day and didn't set an alarm. I don't know what to do now and the only possible solution i can imagine is to stop taking naps [which i've done since soph yr] and hopefully fall asleep naturally. BUT sadly i think the only true solution will lie in not having to have 2 roommates and having to basically be on a sleep schedule that says "3 am is bedtime" I love my niggas to death [no homo] but I'm a natural loner and when the issue of sleep comes up I need to have my own space to hit the lights and be out whenever i please....I pray this all works out..SOON
