Do You Think You Can Beat Me!!!

Life, your going to have to do more than just slam a few doors in my face to keep me down. I've been faced with adversities that the average person would view as a crisis. See, some people go through the storm while I've been living in it my whole life. I am a strong person and it's impossible to break me. Coming from where I'm from you learn to deal with difficult times as if they were nothing. Heartbreak, dissapointment are all to familiar to me, so I'm an expert at managing pain. I'm destined to be a star and life you will not defeat me! My suggestion to you is to pack your bags and move on to the next victim, because right now your fighting a losing battle. I'm hustler baby, ask about me.

So We're Getting Closer

Each day I wake up with the taste of the dream in my mouth. It gets sweeter and sweeter as the days roll on. I feel like someone whose been needing a pair of glasses for years but was too afraid to wear them, because of how they may look. Now I've put on those specs and not only do I look fabulous, I feel fabulous. Things are so much clearer now since I tried them on. Everything is put into it's right perspective. The dream is slowly but surely becoming a reality. I'm slowly but surely becoming one of the fierce, ambitious women that I've always admired.

Whoa! A real live tornado, in Brooklyn?!!!

Morning folks. So here it is. I woke up yesterday after sleeping soundly like a new born baby to learn that there was some kind of freaky tornado that occurred in Brooklyn Tuesday night. Wednesday morning all hell broke loose. None of the train were running because the stations were flooded and people had to find other ways to get to work. Now to all you non New Yorkers that is not an easy task. For one we don't drive, another solution would be to take a cab to work, but that's pointless as as well being that the cabs act like vampires during natural disaster (the suck the money out of your pockets) or there's all the crowded public bus, not to appealing in 90 degree weather.

Rihanna, new style goddess?

Yes!!! Her third and latest album, fiercely titled Good Girl Gone Bad is ruling the charts and she's straight serving them on the red carpet!! She's rocking the new crop do and taken on the bad girl image. Rihanna is definitely holding it down for all the vixens out there.

Thank You Ephiphany!

So this morning when I was sitting on the train- LATE, pissed-off, headed to my dreadful retail job when my dream hit me like a ton of bricks. BAM!!! This is what I want to do. I want to start my own website. After reading Ms. YBF's article on how she made it to the top, and how its so easy a caveman can do it, I think I'm going to give it a try. For the last four years I've been feeling unsure of my future, unmotivated and unambitious, but for the first time in my life I see a clear path to my goals. This summer has given me so much to think about. I'm not going to school in the fall, the job market is kicking my ass, and I don't exactly love my living arrangements (with the fam). Most people would view these blows to the ego as failures, but I view them as triumphs. I know that if I can make it through these next 12 months than I have truly weathered the storm. You know it's true what they say you can't have a testimony without a test. I'm ready to weather the storm so that I can come out of it bigger, better, and brighter than before! Thank you epiphany!

P.S. I know you're like what's with the self portrait club pic? What can I say, good times, good times....:)
