POSITIVITY (seriously did you honestly think i would say something else)
day 74...
amazing meeting this morning discussing the idea that positivity fosters positivity...it was one of my favorite topics...well first i believe life is way TOO short to live in the negative...besides what the hell is the point...so you can bring others down, or infest people with your negativity...i think not...BE POSITIVE...life is a million times better when you are, trust...
have you ever had a terrible day, week, month, whatever...& everything that can go wrong is going wrong...& you literally want to crawl in your bed & sleep for days, or you want somebody else to feel as bad as you do...if you just step back (& i am not sayin i am ms positivity all the time, my family can attest to that)...and try to think of something positive...and as i mentioned i know that sometimes at that exact moment it seems as if there is not a single positive...but at some point do yourself a favor & try to find one...
...& after you find a positive in a negative, then find another...and then start to smile...& think maybe its not that bad...and then from there a ripple effect will cause your whole attitude to change about life...& maybe the next time a negative occurrence/event, you see it differently...& things will have a very different effect on you...
just try it, a lot less effort goes into being positive than festering over negativity...

angel in the sky...
day 73...
...you know that person that touches your life so immensely that you know by knowing them you are that much better...they are there to bring a smile to your face or to give you a big hug...they become a part of your life...they are your heart...& it doesn't matter how long they are there...or how often you see them, they are a part of you...you think how i am so lucky to have this blessing in my life...how did i become so lucky that God sent me this person...
...then your life is flipped upside down...this person, who you think is unstoppable...gets stopped & you hope and pray that they will be lifted above it...but some how they are not and it destroys their physical being & your heart shatters to a million pieces...the person you know, you don't get to be around or see, is no longer there for now they have taken their place up above & are now your angel in the sky...
a little reminder that you will are forever blessed with them, as they smile down on you...as you watch a game, or tell stories, as you remember who they were, that they are carried on through others...that they have touched your heart forever & once a heart is touched the impression remains..
my angel in the sky, j-dog thank you...miss you...loves...<3

a little shout out...
day 72
...i guess what is important with writing a blog everyday is that i have this forum to give a shout out to whomever the hell i want...which is awesome...however it is also a way that you get to experience something that you might have never even encountered...so instead of thinking it as a way of shoving some useless piece of information down your throat, think of it as lesson learned or experience created...
a friend of mine who is fabulous, has created this website Twenty Dollar Dates, where she advises those that live in columbus to have date nights using less than $20.00 (genius idea, right & now you wish you thought of it, well its taken)...now i know its crazy, right?, but she has done it, hell she has even done it in NYC...i know amazing right...i know it is specifically for columbus but really you could use her ideas in every city...
so take a gander & if nothing else, like it on facebook Facebook Twenty Dollar Dates; why not...
PS other reasons to give Jessica Porter Buscemi & Twenty Dollar Dates some love, is because her wedding was SO much fun, she is always fun...& she is a social worker with an amazing personality...i love her, so ie you should too (i mean i only associate myself with cool people, just sayin;)
HAVE FUN, & next time you go out do it for under $20!

thoughts to ponder...
(going to be a two parter...just a little heads up)
day 71
no i am not talking about Sorry, Monopoly, or Clue...in fact we are talking about the game you bring to the table when you are trying to mac (i think the kids are still using that term) on some guy/girl...i had a very interesting discussion with my very dearest friend & cousin...about this very topic tonight...it actually turned into a very enlightening conversation which i will report on later...
this whole concept of game you actually encounter as you go through life happens more often than you think, the ability to attract & get another person hooked to you...the ability to sell yourself in a way that makes them want you or at least makes them want you more than the other person they might meet...do you have that? i am not even sure if i have it; maybe b/c i don't think of myself like that or i just don't see myself as having an actual game...i have a personality that is fun, and i like to have a good time...but i am not sure that is what you call game...well i am going to find out...now on to the next part of this...
perception...
so part two...life is about perception...how we perceive things, or how others perceive us & things as well...my cousin & i, see me, for example, in two different lights...both positive ways but totally different..so how does the world perceive you?, how do you perceive yourself?...what makes someone think of you in one way & then someone else thinks of you in a different way and then you think of yourself in a completely different way?...& are all these perceptions true, b/c can one's perception actually be wrong?
i know the trials & tribulations of growing older & figuring out the world of relationships...this is not over in fact the research has just begun...so stay tuned...

foreign languages make me smile :)
day 70...
those that speak a foreign language are so super interesting & if you are those of the opposite sex who not only speaks a foreign language but has an accent, it makes you all that much hotter (disclaimer, i said it increases the hotness factor, not makes you hot all together, i know i can be shallow, at least i am admitting to it) :)...just sayin'
i love languages, and in particular i love french, italian, american sign language (asl), & arabic...& i love the accents that come along with it...i am not sure why but there is something about those two components that makes me intrigued...in fact somebody could be calling me a complete idiot but make it sound so amazing that i could fall head over heels for them (i'm kidding, well sort of;)...
so in the grand scheme of learning languages this is where i rank...i have enough skills to have a conversation in ASL...i learned french in high school & was lame & didn't keep it up..., i know squat about italian, except ciao & gratzi & arabic i am spotty, i know the bad words (isn't that funny you always learn the bad words first ;)...but i also know a few words here & there, and i am determined to learn more...my goal is to go in to an arab store & order in arabic...
aside from me posting about how i love languages/accents...& you clicking the 'x' button to stop reading b/c you literally want to stick a fork in your eye rather than read another word...let me leave you with some of my fav arabic words...
(ps these words totes not spelled correctly)
hadam...anna ba hib ahhwee, ateemie boosic, boose teazy, eaini (3ni), elbi, hanoon, habibi, shamutah, schook, yullah...
ps...love your faces, please keep reading!

hey there ladies...
...why do we do that??
day 69...
(so i fell asleep, hey i'm gettin' old, some times i can't help when my bed looks so enticing, don't worry you get me twice today...)
even though i am a part of this amazing species of women...i some times don't get women...we actually can be huge pains in the ass & when it comes to women dealing with other women, we become the biggest b$#@*...now this isn't always the case but i am finding this is the case more often than not...i recently interacted with several women at an event...& omg, i wanted to punch several of them in the face...what the heck is wrong with us?? we are amazing but some times our little "tudes" get in the way of our awesomeness and then people perceive as some thing we are not...
i mean i kind of understand why people don't want to deal with us...we often make it hard on those that are trying to provide service to us...why does it bother me...b/c i am a female & i try (not always, some times i fall in to b^%$ mode) to make up for my fellow ladies who choose not to be a part of the happy crowd...
why does it matter, b/c as i mentioned i know that is not us...so why should we be that way...why do we have to 'cop a tude' when another women says hi, or smiles at us...why are we so hard on each other, why do we over take and over power like the next king kong...why are we great to our friends but if you are someone who is not part of our group we attack with a vengeance...why do let guys off the hook & destroy the women in the relationship...that is not us...
we are fun, we are flexible, we like to have fun, we are by nature, lovers so that should extend to all species even our own...we are nurturers & caregivers, so why don't we take care of one another...we are each others best support so we should support all & not discriminate...we are great, so let us try to remember it & celebrate it...

Seriously Funny!
day 68...
(first of all a lot of peeps apparently like my brothers, or i have gotten really good at this blog thingy, the first answer is probably correct...literally the most views on a post...THANK YOU!)
so in my course of growing up & almost hitting the rip ole' age of 30, i have figured out that i LOVE to volunteer, i actually would do it everyday of my life if i didn't need money to live...but i do, super lame i know...ohh wait you thought i was a billionaire b/c of this blog, no i am sorry they have not contacted me to publish a book, still waiting...anyways i digress, LOVE LOVE VOLUNTEERING...
there are certain causes i tend to lean towards, special olympics, anything Deaf, kids, & anything cancer related...well since moving to GR, i have scaled down on the volunteering & decided i need to step it back up...(i should also put in this disclaimer, i am not always the greatest volunteer, but i always have good intentions & try my hardest...)...so Laughfest it is, is the 2nd annual were proceeds benefit Gilda's Club of GR. Gilda's Club was founded in honor of Gilda Radner, a comedian who lost her fight with her cancer. The concept being that it is a free community of support for those that have encountered cancer. Helping not only the physical effects, but the mental & emotional effects that cancer leaves behind... (Gilda's Club)
Two years ago, Grand Rapids Gilda's Club decided to host, Laughfest, first ever nationwide comedy festival. Because research shows that laughter can improve physical well being, as well as the emotional & mental well being. It also raises awareness & support for Gilda's Club. So ten days, and over 200 different events featuring over 600 artists, Gilda's Club invites you to laugh with them. (Laughfest)
So you are probably asking whats up with all the awareness & why do keep posting random things to help people that have no direct contact with me...well, as i mentioned before all it takes is a conversation, a conversation then turns into a discussion & that could become an action, and then your life will be that much different, all stemming from a conversation, so why not!
Seriously Funny!
