WOW! It’s 2010

I can’t believe I haven’t written a post since September 2009.  Now it’s 2010.  I have been writing, but not on the blogosphere.  One of my goals for 2010 is to write a screenplay.  I already have some great concepts to work with.  That’s a plus.  Of course, some of these storylines will be loosely based on actual events.  This could lead to some great ind intriguing scenes.  But enough of that.

It’s 2010 and I have a long list of goals for the year, personal and professional.  I plan to achieve them all because they are certainly SMART.  No time for excuses this year.  Excuses have been my downfall in the past.  Hence, if a situation seems like an impossible feat, I’ll call on the big guy upstairs for backup.  He surely has the answers.

This year is going to magnificent, joyous, and productive.  I hope it will be the same for you.  So to all those great peeps in the blogosphere, Happy New Year!

 

Romantic Getaways

My lovely lady and I are looking for romantic getaways.  Does anyone know of any hot spots that are GLBT-friendly?

 

I’m THIRTY!

Yesterday was my 30th birthday.  I don’t feel any physical changes, but mentally, I think I’ve been blessed with some enlightenment.  Being 30 is just another way of society to regulate a human’s action.  Supposedly, at 30, a person should be having a family, working a specific type of job, having certain responsibilities, and make mature “adult” decisions.    By this time, we should have made all our stupid mistakes, gotten the partying out of our system (except for occassional nights out on the town), be in a job for the long haul, decided to settle down, and live a boring life.  HAHAHAHA! That’s not happening for me.  I’ve decided that 30 is a new beginning for me.  At thirty I’m embracing all of me.  I’ve found my confidence and I’m ready to share with the world all my gifts and nuances. 

I’ve even created a mantra for how I’ve defined thirty:

T- Taking life by the horns and enjoying the ride.  Life will have its lovely ups and its timultuous downs, but I’m equipped to conquer the wild beast.

H- Having a truly supportive network of friends. Why waste time with enemies?

I- Imagining a better life and attaining it. “Wherever you lay your will, there you will achieve.”

R-Realizing my potential and reaching higher ground.  Instead of being average, I choose to set a higher standard for myself.  Each day, I should be a better person than I was the day before.

T- Taking chances without fear and doubt.  Our thoughts can be our worst enemies, so getting out our heads is a must. Listening to our hearts and taking leaps into the unknown can be fulfilling.

Y-  Young at heart with wisdom from time.  Just because you turn thirty doesn’t mean you have to stop laughing and having fun.  With time, I just know what to do and not to do.

I plan to live and breathe my mantra daily.  I will not be hesistant when the next person asks, “How old are you?”  I will gladly reply “I am gorgeous, fabulous, and thirty!”

 

Au Revoir to Selfish by Dee

I’ve stopped my Selfish by Dee clothing line.  I’ve revamped everything. I’m still designing shirts though.  I think Selfish by Dee was too damn deep for people to understand my POV.  So my current line is Cotton Smoothie.  The name makes me feel all warm and refreshed inside and out.  Right now, I’m pricing different companies to see who has the best deals and lowest price for registering my domain name.  When that’s all done, I’ll put up the link on here.  Here’s one of my new shirts.  Isn’t it cute?

 

Book to Read

I’ve been feeling great and doing great things.  One including reading a wonderful book that keeps me on the grind.  It’s entitled Success is No Accident, written by Dr. Lair Ribeiro.  This great read is all about changing our psychological programming to live the successful life that we desire.  There really isn’t much of a difference between a successful person and an unsuccessful person.  Dr. Ribeiro provides great anecdotes and strategies to help anyone wanting to live a more prosperous life.

 

Hey Blog Family

Hey blog family.  I know I know it’s seems like forever since I’ve written anything.  I am alive but haven’t been in my blogger spirit for a several weeks now.  Some ideas have come to mind to blog but not really pushed to do so.  So here’s my update of how I’ve been spending my time. 

I’ve been reading, tutoring, designing my arse off, crying over Michael Jackson’s death, watching So You Think You Can Dance, watching the Bachelorette (Thank goodness she finally got rid of Wes!), having true heart-to-heart conversations with my sweetypie, playing basketball with my sister (She kicked my ass!), praying for increase, and getting fit.  Sounds like enough right? 

I’m sure I could be doing more.  Oh did I forget to mention that my girlfriend and I are going to restart up our nonprofit organization?  I’m supposed to take the lead on this one.   I haven’t done a thing this week.  But I’m sure to at least do some research today.  

There’s more to come and more to share.  But when I’ll post, I have no idea.

 

Gotta Question for Couples

My girlfriend and I have been together for a long time, but we have yet to establish friendships with other lesbian couples, besides our litte sisters.  For anyone out there, do you share the same problem?  If not, how do go about meeting other lesbian couples?

 

Blame It on the Economy

Has anyone else seen this video?  I like it.

 

Gotta Question Again

I know a good number of lesbians from college that have now had children and are living a heterosexual life or are married (and not to women).  What’s up with that?   Let me clarify something first, I believe that lesbians can have children, that’s not the issue.  It’s the issue of lesbians having families with these men when they used to be all up in a woman’s kool-aid.    And don’t give me that “sexuality is fluid” because I know that, but it’s so odd for me to think of some of these females being straight now.  You tell me, what’s your take on the matter?

 

My New Addiction

Almost every night, I’ve been glued to the television watching “Poker After Dark.”  I don’t even know how to play poker or understand the terms flop, turn, and river.  However, I can pretty much figure out whose going to win each hand and I know when it’s a close call.  Today, I even watched the Heads Up World Poker Championship.  The tournament isn’t over though; it’ll be broadcasted for the next 3 weeks or so. It’s big money and prizes involved.  Players have made millions from this game.  On ”Poker After Dark”, it was winner takes all to receive $120,000.  Most people don’t even get a salary of $120,000 in a year and these pros get it after a few hours.  It makes me go “DAMN!”   I need to read up on this sport called poker and maybe one day I’ll actually play it and win a few hands.
