Dear Houston,

I love you so much and I miss you already. I cannot wait to come back to you my love.

Always Yours,

the disgruntled L.A. Girl.

Omg y'all, I totally fell in love with Houston. I so didn't expect to enjoy it nearly as much as I did but I had such a good time. I wanna go back. Like for good.

I will post pictures as soon as my bestie uploads them. Btw, I'm sick AGAIN & I hate my job today but, I shouldn't complain because i have a job. AND, i have a test today. arrrgggh.

I clearly remember a conversation my mother and I had one day while driving to school. We were listening to the radio and she turned it off and said to me "when you get married, make sure your husband loves you more than you love him". At the time I thought nothing of it, although I obviously remember her telling me this. I asked her why and she told me that if you love someone more than they love you, you're bound to get hurt. Well, I can see what she meant by that but, I honestly believe that if you love someone, regardless to how much you love that person, when/if the relationship ends, you're bound to be hurt anyway. and if you love each other and you're in love what difference does it make if one person loves the other more?


I've found myself thinking about that one sentence a lot lately. I was reading something ( I can't remember where or what it was) last week and it basically said the same thing; that women should be in relationships with men who love them more. It really got me thinking. Is it safe to say that in every relationship someone loves their partner more than their partner loves them? Does that even make sense? Don't people love differently? I'm torn. As selfish as this may sound, I like the idea of spending my life with someone that loves me more than I love them. Why? I don't know.


I know we've probably all met couples that from the outside looking in, it appears as though one person is "in" to the relationship way more than the other. This always bothers me. I always feel sorry for the person who's "in" to the relationship more. I wonder if they know that they appear to be "in" to the relationship more or if they even care. I know I personally tend to think that women have a tendency of being more "in" to relationships and I attribute it to the fact that we are women and that's just how we are. That sounds bad, but that's my way of thinking..don't judge!

But what do I know? Apparently nothing when it comes to the love department...lol.. but, I'm definitely learning. It is not always easy, it's not always fun, sometimes it hurts but it's soooooo worth it.

Two things are really upsetting me right now.

1) the fact that there are people who really believe that Barack Obama is a terrorist because his middle name is Hussein. Are you serious right now? You live in West Virginia, have no job, no health care, no teeth in your mouth and you're afraid of a terrorist knocking on your door? ummmm okay.

2) Ignorance like this:




Come on black people. Let's try really hard not to give others the impression that the only reason we are for Barack Obama is because the color of his skin. Josh Howard,did you really just say "I don't celebrate the Star Spangled Banner because I'm black?" Did you really follow that ignorant statement with "Obama '08, Obama '08, all that shit"? Shoot yourself in the foot please. thanks.

A couple of randoms

First things first, I haven't been to church in two weeks and I'm feeling it. I need some church, like ASAP.

I only have 7 more days till I'm in Houston and to say that I'm excited would be an understatement.

Ne-Yo's cd is sooooooooooooo good and it's 9.99 @ Target. Go get it.

I'm so tired that my eyes actually hurt and I couldn't go to bed at a decent hour because I had too many good shows waiting to be viewed on my tivo (Gossip Girl, Intervention, John & Kate plus 8). So yea, the eyes are burning today.

I'm low key over blogging.

I just found out that Ellen is now being taped on our lot and I'm so excited!! I heart Ellen.

I'm trying to constantly remind myself to ask God when in doubt.

Okay, enough-back to work.

to blog or not to blog. that is the question.

on another note, aren't they pretty?

Don't you love surprises?

Sad..but true.

I cannot believe it's been 7 years.

Funny Facts

Did you know that Meghan McCain thinks Barack Obama is sexy? Did you know that Meghan McCain voted for John Kerry? Did you know that Meghan McCain just recently became a Republican as a Father's Day present this past year?

Meghan McCain was on The View today and she was so well spoken. She answered every single question that was thrown her way (except for one) and she was very funny! Apparently she may write a satire about her experiences on the campaign trail. I admire her for supporting her father and being so involved in his campaign despite her own beliefs. She seems like a very intelligent young woman.


p.s.

OBAMA '08 :)

This girl right here...

is the ONLY reason i tuned in to watch the VMA's. She's effin' amazing.

and she looked sooooo good too!

Blame it on the politics

You can most definitely blame my lack of blogging on the DNC & RNC and all the other political happenings & I guess the long weekend had something to do with it too. I am l o v i n g all this. I surprisingly found myself liking Sarah Palin and her family. Do I agree with her positions? Heck no. But, I must admit that her family is quite an entertaining bunch. I was glued to the television during her entire speech yesterday and i'm still unsure as to whether or not I actually enjoyed it or if I was just waiting to hear more of her shit talking. Apparently over 40 million households tuned in to check her out so I guess we were all somewhat interested (as we should be).

On another note, yesterday was the first day of my African American studies class. I have no doubt that this class will be extremely interesting. I had the hardest time concentrating though because this guy who sat right in front of the teacher had a huge hole in his boxers and of course his shorts were so low so his crack was just staring at the rest of the class the entire time. and of course he was that student who asks 20 million questions and comments on everything.

That's it for now, I'll leave with this quote from Sen. Obama's acceptance speech:

"I realize that I'm not the likeliest candidate for this office, I don't fit the typical pedigree and I haven't spent my career in the halls of Washington. But I stand before you tonight because all across America, something is stirring. What the naysayers don't understand is that this election has never been about me; it's about YOU."
