Bear Claw, Spoiler in the back, and Starship Enterprise on the Side!

I was watching Comedy Central last night on my computer and checked out the comedy special "Girth of a Nation" by Ralphie May.

He's hilarious!

I thought this was a pretty funny clip, and since laughter IS the first word in the name of my blog, it's only necessary for us to laugh every once in a while!

Check out this clip from Girth of a Nation. If you get a chance to check out the entire special on Comedy Central, please do! You're in for a comical treat!

ALL MY SINGLE LADIES!

Beyonce's song "Single Ladies" is a banger! It doesn't matter when it comes on, wherever I'm at when the song drops, I immediately start tapping my feet and dancing my life away. And as good as I may feel when that song comes on, it always dawns on me after the fact that...damn....I'm a single lady.

Now some days, I love being single. Actually, most days. The freedom of going where I want to go when I want to go, without thinking how my significant other may feel. Not feeling obligated to spend time with someone. Living my life on my own schedule without catering to someone else's emotional needs. It's sooooooo freeing!

But then there are days when it gets rough. Days where I long to go for a walk, holding hands and talking about anything with the person that I love. Sleeping all night waiting to be able to tell my love "good morning." Making new and special memories that only we would share. Someone to call and want to know how I'm feeling. Someone to cater to my emotional/physical/spiritual needs.

Being single can be an anomaly. Happy. Sad. Laughter. Tears. Smiles. Frowns. growtH!

I've been single for some time now, and I've learned so much about who I am and the life I want to have. I've learned to embrace life (triumphs and shortcomings) and bask in the happiness and beauty that is ME!

At times it is rough. I do have someone special in my life that I do care about and love. But I have my reservations about what we do have. We've had ups and downs. We've had harsh discussions as well as enlightening ones where we expressed our deepest thoughts and desires. Some days there is an over-abundance of love that I feel, and other days I'm struggling with my own insecurities about love and heartache. I know that there are still multiple things that I need to work through in order to be ready to release this title of "single." But I know that when the day comes and I am ready, it will be great!

In the journey for single women, we must remember that every man we meet is not meant to be our mate. Some people are placed in our lives for a lifetime of friendship, others just for a season for comfort, and some to show us and teach us lessons in life about who we are and our place in this world.

To my best friend, I know today may be hard. Tomorrow may be hard. The next month may be hard. But this is just a test. A test of your strength and resilience. Life is full of hurts and heartache, but it's also full with many more smiles and laughter. No matter what someone may say or do to you, you can't let them steal your joy. Your future is endless right now. You have so much life left afhead of you. Know that you're beautiful, you're special, and you're WORTHY of only the best! No man defines your worth or your destiny. The only that defines who or what YOU are is YOU! I love you!

Embrace this time being a single woman. Learn to love you. And love to learn you.

Now pump up that Beyonce and start grinding! LOL

simple complication

love.

for it to only consist of four letters, it definitely holds so much weight.

love has many definitions according to webster's dictionary, which lets me know just how complicated love can be. (click on love for the multiple definitions)

i can honestly say that i have given love and received love. but the consequences of doing so have taught me many lessons, awarded me with many smiles and butterflies, and gifted me with many unwanted disappointments.

but through my previous love, i have been able to open myself up to what is new. what is readily available. to the unknown. and i'm scared as hell and shaking in my brand new boots but enjoying the journey!

loving someone is a simple task. being able to care for someone's feelings, feel an indescribable closeness with someone, having a strong affection for someone, or the sexual desires associated with an emotional connection with someone are easy to have. it's the possibility of knowing that it's a one-sided deal. knowing that you may be hurt. or the new person is not the one you'll spend the rest of your life with.

these are things that we cannot control. all we can control is how open we let our hearts. i'm still open to love and my heart is open for business.

IGHAFO!!!!!

okay...so for starters...IGHAFO means "i'm gonna have a friggin orgasm!" that's the way i feel when i find some items in fashion that make me want to lose my mind!

right now, i am officially a stan for Maria Pinto designs! she's the fab lady who has dressed Michelle Obama over President Obama's campaign. here are a few of the pieces Mrs. O rocked designed by Pinto:

we all loved these looks...well at least i know that i did! so i ventured onto maria pinto's website http://www.mariapinto.com/ , and i was instantly in love!!!!!!!!! her choices are simple, yet bold. the colors are stunning, and the styling is impeccable. classic with a twist...a fabulous twist at that! here is one of my faves from the website, but definitely check it out for yourself. you'll be pleasantly surprised!

so i've decided to bring life back into my blog, since i basically killed it before it really got started.
i've really been into blogging lately with the help of the great "google reader" and i've been exposed to so many different things that i knew nothing about before. so i've made the choice to start sharing some of the things i find interesting, intriguing, and down right hilarious!

hope you enjoy...

choice

we all must make choices in life. good choices, bad choices.
every day i begin to notice that the choices i'm making in my life may not necessarily be the best choices for me. for my future. but i make them anyway because that's how i feel at the moment. like it may be a bad choice, but a good choice to make me feel better at the time.

i checked my email the other day (i hadn't in a couple of days, another bad choice since i'm trying to keep in better contact with my network), and i read a daily word message on self-discipline from rev. run. it read as follows:

Good morning. You can't get much done in life if you only work on the days that you feel good. -Jerry West

that statement hit me like a brick! that's the way i was living my life. i realized that i have so much motivation when i'm not in school. hell, i'm motivated enough to get up in the mornings, get dressed and drive to campus, but as soon as i get back into school and on that campus, i don't feel like doing anything and my motivation goes completely out the window. and then i don't perform to the level in which i know i can.

so today i'm making a vow to put in as much work as i want to get out. i have goals to be a success this semester (whatever the definition of success is) and not let life's prior choices get the best of me. it's a new day, and i have the option to make good or bad choices.

today i CHOOSE to make the best possible choice to influence my life positively.

i charge you to choose to have a wonderful day!

love

life is amazing





















as we progress in life, there is growth that takes place...or at least growth that SHOULD take place.

when plants are given the right amount of water and sunlight, as well as the necessary nourishment, it grows into a beautiful creation.

but what about when you don't want growth.
when you're content with things staying the same.
when you can't afford to support growth.
what to do then?

make decisions...ISAGENIX, LASERS, RAZORS or DONATIONS?!

LOL...love my jas and laurenia!
have a great day my loves...
