2011 has been crazy as all get out interesting...I've neglected the blog in ways that I can't even attempt to apologize for. But as I've noticed this tends to be the way I've lived my life for awhile. I've neglected some friends, some family, even neglected myself. So much so that I've spent a better part of the year sick. (If its any consolation..I must say I have gotten a lot out of my health

Today I bought my first car. Words can't express how I feel today. I left the dealership singing a song I made up that sounded a little like: I got a car I got a car. I'm thinking if I get Swizz Beats to do the track and Nicki Minaj in the hook I can go triple platinum... Forreal though! Anyways... I can't explain how good I feel right now. I feel like I've arrived. Like I've accomplished a

I. Will. Trust. You. I. Will. Trust. You. I. Will. Trust. You. As I slowly woke up this morning these words continued to play over and over in my head. I began to say them over and over as I began to gain full consciousness. I then realized I forgot to turn the TV off the night before. I realized it was a Gospel song playing. Throughout the fast I had also decided to fast from secular music

So as I continue on my 21 day fast (Did I mention that already? I'm doing a 21 day fast and so far so feeling real good..) I am following a 21 day reading plan. I wake up every morning and read a specific scripture. Before each scripture is a small paragraph about what I should try to take away from each day. Well the other day I had to read a scripture about how blessed I am. The take away

At the ripe young age of 27 Ive had my fair share of relationships. Relationships with family, relationships with friends, and of course relationships with boys(I've had A LOT of those. Not one with a man yet...but I'm working on it). Throughout my years and relationships with these people I've been loved, used, inspired, betrayed, taught, and a host of other verbs that have shaped me into this

The other day my Granny's best friend passed away. We used to call her Aunty Mary. I was 18 before I found out this woman wasn't my real aunt you know. As a child I spent a lot of time in her home in Guyana, where my family is originally from. Whole summers would be spent with my various cousins and siblings sleeping under this ladies roof. Some of my favorite childhood memories were at that

I was involved in a debate on one of the many listservs I'm on about why so many women in my generation are single. And one young Lady made a comment about how marriage isn't really necessary these days. Now the first thing I responded was that marriage still is necessary but some chose not to acknowledge it. God made woman to be man's helpmate. That is the reason we were created. That doesn't

So I was having a chat session with a good friend of mine on Gchat in between working hard and hardly working and she was telling me how romantic her bf is. How he'd draw her a bath or feed her fruit, do massages, etc. And I couldn't help but feel a little envious. Not for the man perse... but for the romance.I can't remember the last time a dude tried to romance me. Granted some believe romance

I hate relationship statuses. When your single you always have to explain yours and when your with someone there is always the question of: "do I need to even have it up?" A month or so ago I changed my status on facebook from "Single" to "It's Complicated". I had taken off that notification button where it updates all of your facebook friends about your relationship change over a year ago so it

I sometimes wonder if my mom played music to me when I was in her womb. And if she did if I kicked and squirmed and do something off the wall... I have always felt a pull to music. I feel it in the fiber of my being. I love the beat I love the lyrics I even love the expression on the faces of those singing the song. I've been caught dancing when there is no music playing on MANY occasions. And I

**Admin Note: I recently read this post on http://www.flyguychronicles.com/ The post was entitled the Pleasure of Meeting you is All Mine. I find too often guys do not know how to approach women. If they aren't shouting out a million and one names to get your attention or making cat calls its something else. I haven't met a lot of guys who have mastered the art of getting a woman's attention that

As I've asked around I notice WAY to many of you guys are not up on the upcoming election. We are not supposed to only vote for President people!! We need to be very in tune to what is going on in our very own backyard. This years election is especially important because we have offices that are open that will directly effect the next few years of our lives (Mayor of NY, Public Advocate,

Its been an interesting couple of months. I've been more retrospective than usual and so far I think I've been running a B+ average in Specialogy. Getting better as time goes by, stumbling and sometimes falling but maintaining focus on betterment due to a strong foundation. I've been doing so well in fact that I've been entertaining getting knee deep in the dating scene. As you well know I've

My evening commute on the iron horse is always so informative. I actually learned how to cuss someone in Romanian this week; but I digress. So I'm enjoying my daily browse of the free daily paper and I come across another story of a woman who seeking vengeance over a cheating husband/boyfriend. Now I'll admit the last couple stories I've heard solicited a hearty giggle from me. Some of the more

So I was watching So You Think You Can Dance last night in real time and needed something to do during commercial breaks. Usually I watch it on my DVR so I fast Fwd past the commercials. Since I couldn't do that I decided to do a little Blog-hopping and read a Blog by The FlyGuy about Lauren London. He had built in his head a happily ever after scenario and now that she is Lil Wayne's Baby Mama #

I have no idea who wrote this but every time I read it, it resonates deep inside me. Figured I'd share with you guys.In a brief conversation, a man asked a woman he was pursuing the question:'What kind of man are you looking for?'She sat quietly for a moment before looking him in the eye & asking, 'Do you really want to know?'Reluctantly, he said, 'Yes.She began to expound, 'As a woman in this

So I come to you today seeking enlightenment. I've been getting the side-eye, smirks, and shakes of the head lately for comments I've made about weeding out undesirable. Now I'm just curious because a lot of the reasons I've ceased to consider dating some of these dudes I thought wasn't unreasonable. So... that only leaves me with the question: When did Women become so accepting of low standards?

Ok so I've officially been single over a year now..... and I find myself still in limbo. I actually have been very much aware that a year was approaching lately. I'll hear different songs and think "This time last year this song would have me bawling.... Mmmm no tears now. Interesting. I must be getting better at this" Or wow this time last year was when I had reached my limit. Ill look back into

The other day I was blog hopping and came across an interesting entry on the blog "Expressions of a Buppie". For those of you unfamiliar with the blog its a blog written by 2/3 female Black Urban Professionals. I think this particular entry was written by the District Buppie (she resides in DC). Forgive me I can't at this time remember the name of title of the entry but it was something like 'No

So I know I've been mia and I also know I've said the same thing before lol. I have been up in the air people. For the last month or two I've been wrestling internally with some things that I still can't figure out. And when I say figure out its not that I haven't figured out how to fix it yet. Its that I haven't figured out what I'm fighting. Something is trying to manifest itself in my life and

This month I am going to highlight a blog that was introduced to me by my bestie (is it kosher to call a male friend a bestie? *shrug*) months ago.

It started sometime around 12AM.. I don't know why. I just felt very off kilter. I spent longer than usual trying to fall asleep. I tossed and turned for hours. I woke up and fell back to sleep at least twice. I chalked it up to having not finished a conversation with someone I was interested in. Brushed that dirt off my shoulder and finally at some point was able to fall asleep.By morning I wake

Most of us work in offices day in and day out. We come in say our hellos, occasionally catch a bite of lunch together and then say our goodbyes at the end of the day. Sometimes we may even run into each other in the street and when asked we say "Oh that's so and so from work."But we don't know these people. We know OF them and at most we know them on a very surface level. We don't know their

There is an abundance of information that comes from riding the rails. Subway rails that is. You can learn to break dance as there is usually a showing at least two times a commute. You learn about the existence of different musical instruments.

So I mentioned a little under a month ago that I was going off of my dating hiatus. I actually hadn't gone on a date until recently and I found it to be... Interesting to say the least. I was anxious and off center. Your girl Special had to do a prayer before she walked out the front door; literally head bowed hand clasped at my front door.

I have a thing with patience. I used to not have any. I have some now but its a struggle to learn to wait and be still. Not to push God along. I've noticed in the last few weeks I have been living on the outskirts of other people's lives. My sister had a baby girl 2 weeks ago and I am so excited that her (and ultimately mine) family is growing. But there is a part of me that wonders when I'll be

I love hanging out with my friends.. I really do. Every time we are together I learn something new. I get insight on something old. And I always get a good laugh. Recently while hanging out with some very good friends of mine I learned of a situation one of their friends was having. It left me completely puzzled and more than slightly disgusted. So much so that I let my friend know that I would

Since I'm confessing I might as well admit I almost sent in a application for 'For the Love of Ray J' to fulfill some childhood crush. I quickly came to my senses and deleted the email that was sent to me by a friend. I don't watch for the Love of Ray J.

I'm a big fan of the Simpsons. There is something about the show that has kept me hooked all these years. Even with my love for Family Guy I still hold a place in my heart for that yellow Family. I remember way back in the day whenever Bart did anything wrong he would say "The Devil made me do it!" I picked up the line whenever I got in trouble myself. As I've gotten older I stopped saying it but

So I was working out last night. Gettin my strength training on, sweats all pouring down my face and I'm thanking God for the window blinds in my living room because I'm sure I look a mess all dat good stuff. After I wrap up my final stretch I go down stairs to my room to get ready for a hot shower. I grab a rubber band and put my hair in a ponytail grab my towel and hit the bathroom. As I stare

Today is a Special Day for a Special Lady. She is strong, weak, stupid, intelligent, beautiful and sometimes she can be very ugly. Yes she is ME! And today is my birthday!! **insert my impersonation of Crank Yanker's Special Ed here** Its MY Birthday YAYYYYYYYYY Its MY Birthday YAAAYYYYYYYYYY! HAHA I always wanted to get that as a ringtone for my birthday but could never find it... But I digress.

I told a lie. I didn't know it at the time. I told the lie back in December and only last night realized it wasn't true. I told this guy he was my Favorite Crush. He is actually just my longest crush, not the favorite. My favorite is Mr. Maybe.I saw him for the first time in the library. I was nearing the end of my freshman year in undergrad and he and I both did work study there. He wasn't

30 Weeks 3 Days 22 Hours.....Sometimes music can take you to a place you wish you weren't. Some songs make us happy, energized, mad, sad, angry, etc. Its a blessing and a curse. I mentioned once that I was able to get through finals in undergrad and grad school with the latest soca music on BLAST. I'd even jump up in intervals and bust a wyne. It energized me and kept me up and alive through late

It all started one day as my older cousin gave me a ride home after we finished doing our dance teaching gig. She was screaming some song at the top of her lungs and I'm just taking in the sites when a green and white awning catches my attention. I make a groan that originated deep in my abdomen and by the time it pasted my lips sounded like a thoroughly wounded animal. "Oh God The news is going

I have control issues. I'm working on them but some days I wonder if I'm fighting a losing battle. I ask the Lord to give me strength when I wake up in the morning and when I go to bed at night. And if I was completely truthful I ask again about seven times during the day.... My need to control derives from my need to understand things and people and I think we can all agree that some things/

So I'm sitting on the train waiting for my train to hit Fulton so I can transfer for the last leg of my commute to work. I randomly decided I want some Mary Mary in my ear and as I'm bopping my head to the music and getting my lip sync on this song comes on.I got really into it and found my fingers itching to write down all the thoughts that were forming in my brain. I know I wrote a entry

I've hit a wall.. or rather... a wall of bubble wrap. I'm missing stuff. What kind of stuff you ask.... relationship stuff. I truly am and I have no idea what to do about this problem. Its all new to me. Prior to my last relationship I wasn't big on the whole relationship thing. I've been called 'wifey material' a billion and one times in the past but **shrug** I never really cared to do the

I come from a long line of lushes. You don't know what a lush is? Its a drunkard, an alcoholic, need I really go on? Like I was saying I come from a long line of lushes.

So I was heading out of work this evening and I was thinking of giving a ring to a friend I hadn't spoken to in awhile. I decided to give her a ring after I got off the subway. Just as I was basking in the glow of my great decision making I thought "Uhh... Special, how many daytime minutes do you have?" I almost stopped mid strut (cuz I don't walk down the street; if I aint struttin I'm late so

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MY CHURCH!! **insert deep breath hear** Oh that feels so much better. I was going to start this entry off with some witty background story but I honestly couldn't WAIT to tell you that. I have been holding that sentence in since I got out of service. That's not to say that it isn't something I've said before. I say it at least twice a week but in light of some conversations I've

I don't think I've had a crush like this in awhile. In fact this is my first grown up crush. I've had two real crushes prior to this (the 15 in junior high school shall be here on out chocked up to the onslaught of puberty) and I truly welcome this one. Both previous crushes ended...shockingly?My crush in elementary school ended in 2nd grade when dude and his friends thought the game of tag

So I'm sitting on the train headed home and I'm running the next few days in my head. Thinking about all the things I have to do in the next few days. Committee meetings, Work, side hustle, 3 Birthday events, Review classes, Religious classes, Hair appointment, Community service... Etc. God forbid I go back to the yesterdays and think of everything else I've accomplished in the last few days as

I can't remember who I was speaking to (it was probably Kentucky) when this theory first reached me. We were discussing my inability to 'shake' my feelings for Mr. X and how easily I was able to do it with my prior X.Now if anybody knows Special I am NOT a big fan of losing control. I've stated before that I've had control issues in the past. Having control means that I have structure in my life.

You may have noticed I spend a lot of time listening to music and such. Well in the last few days I have had a hard time deciding what music to listen to as they are all vying for my attention. So to make everybody happy I finally listened to this audio CD i bought a couple months back when I was leaving Bible Study. The audio CD is entitled "Can't we all just get along".

OK so I'm not married. Never have been; not even a proposal. (Which is OK cause I am soooo not ready for that kind of commitment)But I do have hopes of one day getting a proposal and then becoming married (God willing). So I may not be an expert on the whole 'marriage' thing but from a Christian point of view marriage is forever. You know that whole monologue during the ceremony goes a little

I was reading something, some day, the other day and came across this great quote: "The hardest arithmetic for us to master is that which enables us to count our blessings" Eric Hoffer. I couldn't help but reflect on the magnitude of the statement. How many times have you cheated yourself out of the blessings God has tried to give to you? Over looked blessing and opportunities because it showed

Dogs, Cats, The dark, Truth, Snakes, Love, Death, Life, Failure, Success, Old age, My Mama, Strangers, Friends, Did I mention the dark? These were just a few things that I was afraid of.

Now as stated before in a previous entry I became saved in the fall of 2007(Woohoo!!). Now I didn't go in too deep the reasons why I decided to take my life in that direction. Yes Mr. X (previously referred to as HIM in 'Consider this a favor...') was 'into God' and that played a part but I definitely felt the pull to renew my relationship with JC before I even knew who Mr. X was.I don't know

So as I'm searching the web for something to do during my (VERY) late lunch break I decide to read up on CNN.com. Something I usually leave for the weekend. I check out the news in the morning as i quickly get ready for work and at night as I get ready for bed. I reserve my CNN browsing for the bus ride to and fro my 2nd job on Saturdays and church on Sundays. Its amazing that since I've given up

I hate general education requirements. I do.. I really do. A bunch of classes that you HAVE to take.. and you also HAVE to pay for. It would be one thing if upon enrollment to University they gave you this list of classes you must take and offered to pay for them as well but its quite another when your expected to foot the bill. I mean really? I have to pay for the class... AND the books too. Its

You know, I think when I initially created this blog I subconsciously vowed to never blog on this particular subject. Some things I just didn't want to delve into. Deep down inside I knew I'd be compelled to get it all down on 'paper' but just the thought that it would be all out there deep and raw on the world wide web stopped me.

So on this Valentines Day (aka Singles Awareness Day) I chose not to 'get down'. Valentines Day has never been a favorite holiday of mine. No, not because I suffer from chronic singleness ha ha! But it always seemed like a made up holiday. As I've gotten older I took on the tradition of going out with my single friends or my friend's whose significant other maybe in another state or something or

I received many gifts today. I wasn't surprised though. My significant other is faithful, awesome and he loves me unconditionally. How am I so sure? Oh I KNOW: he makes sure to tell and show me everyday.He gives me flowers every spring, sunrise every morning, the moon and the stars in the sky every night. He doesn't stop there either! He showers me with blessings. Friends, family and soRHOrs

A couple years ago I vaguely remember having a conversation with a good friend of mine about Fantasia's Baby Mama song. Now I am a fan of Fantasia and of Baby Mamas alike. But I was asking this friend where the Ode to US was.Us being the sisters who weren't baby mamas or video vixens, the ones who were reformed round the way girls, off at college working our behinds off to make something of

So let me take it from the top. I'm taking a 6month hiatus from dating. Long back story short: I am cleaning house. I've noticed somethings about myself and I feel the need to work on those things... with no distractions. I've spent majority of my young adult life single. But I have always been a serial dater. I won't front... I'm a reformed dinner whore. Hey you paying? I'm eating! (My inner

I have peace. I won't lie.. sometimes some people (who shall remain nameless) can steal it from me. But I work hard to get it back. But right now... I have peace.

Ok so I LOVE music. No.. like I LOVE music. Reggae, RnB, Soca, Alternative, Rock, Country, yo.. I even listen to world music (Shout Out to Tiziano Ferro one of Italy's best).
