HOW MANY MICS DOES SHE RIP ON A DAILY??

These days ,the level of anticipation that awaits any Lauryn Hill's performance is crazy. I mean the Lauryn has been away from the spotlight  for a long ,long ,long time. So it's no surprise that the news of her comeback  tour created mixed feelings among her fans. Although, the concert in Montreal was instantly sold out ( well the metropolis is a small venue after all), people still feared they would regret their decision.( based on everything we heard about her mental stability.) I was just exicited to see her again on stage. Going to the concert, I knew what to expect ,and I was not disappointed. Okay, okay, she was late as usual, I started to get tired of her DJ's weak attempt to entertain me , but when she hit the stage with  those classics ( she opened with a Bob Marley song, then went through "The miseducation " and some numbers from "The Score "), I remembered why I love that lady. I must say.

21 YEAR OLD VIRGIN?????

Few months ago, I was impressed by the stories of two beautiful women on the Oprah Winfrey show. The ladies were in their early thirties and still virgins. They had never been in love, had never been in serious relationships and never had sex. Now ,one of the ladies said she had brick walls surrounding her. Fears!!. Fear to live, fear to love ,fear to be vulnerable. The other young lady had self-esteem issues( weighing close to 300 pounds), so she spent alot of her time in her bedroom.
Now this stories came back to me, because, a couple of weeks ago i found out a young lady I know is a virgin.....at 21 . All I could muttered was " stop playing" , until I realised she was as serious as an heart attack. Then , next thing I asked, " how did you do that?", she said she has seen some guys recently but hasn't liked anyone enough to have sex with them...(Now that's powerful) I went on to say, "of course it will be stupid for you to give it so easy now , you waited all these years, but I mean how did you deal with peer pressure as a teen , like, squash the peer pressure, how did you deal with the hormones?? She just smiled and said: " I don't know".
The difference between the ladies on Oprah and my friend, is that , she has an outgoing personality, this girl goes to the club almost every weekend. She is also well grounded, from what I can tell.
 I don't care what you've heard , but sex is a huge deal, even though society doesn't seem to think so. I mean how many relationships failed because of sex. I 'm not gonna get too much into that last phrase , or this topic will never end, but you get the point. And to those who think that being a virgin at that age is impossible these days  or think that men won't like it , because they like experienced women, yadi yadi yada , all I've got  to say is that you know you just mad, because you wish u had waited too!!!!!
So whether religious reasons or moral reasons, or even anormality ( asexuality), as long as you are ok with it...
So to my dear friend!! I commend you!!! Make me proud when that day comes!!!...:)
I LOVE YOU , GIRLIE!!!!

HEY 2010, IT WAS NICE TO MEET YA, BUT I 'VE GOTTA MOVE ON!

Raising my glass to 2011. If you stay ready, you won't have to get ready!

As as said in the intro to the blog 2010 was not a bad. Before that year I never knew the true meaning of that saying "what a difference a year makes". In the beginning of 2010 I knew I wanted to quit my 9 to 5 to pursue my dreams, I just didn't realized how challenging it was going to be. All I knew is that I had to beat my fear, so I got ready, and did it. During my off time, I was blessed to see some of my family members, went back to Atlanta and saw some of my  favorites ladies in the world...Saw Dee in NY( that girl inspires me, keep me in check whenever I lose focus)...I did some more traveling , and came back to Montreal; only to be forced to get rid of my doggies. A decision I dont regret , but I had my babies for 5 years, so of course, it saddens me...Great challenges during that year, but I embraced them all and kept pushing( Pray Until Something Happens)..Things are looking promessing right now, I can say that much.
I usually dont like the hole new year resolution deal, because I dont feel like I should wait for january to  set some goals. Granted, through experiences , I learned from my mistakes, and won't repeat certain things this year, but an actual written-new-year-resolution is not something I ll do. OOOOH maybe 1 thing......I really want to stop biting my nails!!!!!!


here are pics of  the bests of 2010..
