Disappointed in myself May 14, 2012 2:51 pm

Last year,just before my ex an I split up, I weighed over 300 pounds. Due to a lot of stress and a concious decision to get healthy, I lost over 100 lbs. Just recently I realized that I gained some of my weight back, which really disappointed me. I know I am in a good relationship where he accepts me for my weight, but still I need to relose this weight for me. I kind of got a little lazy for a couple of months and stopped my walking regiment. I just picked it back up and am walking the distances I was when I stopped.

Like today, for instance, right after I posted my first topic I set off on a 23 mile walk. I did it and am paying dearly LOL, I am sunburned and my knees are screaming at me. I am also going back to eating non fried foods and not eating out at fast food places. Only baked or grilled for me thanks and back to eating more salads. I have also.discussed with one of my friends that I would like to start yoga with her.

Well here's to getting healthy by all means necessary.

Even well known people can be victims of racial profiling May 14, 2012 5:38 am

I just came from the faceplace where I was reading Mr. Perry's wall. Mr. Perry is known for Madea and Meet The Browns, I love both. Anyways, he was discussing how one night after leaving the studio he was pulled over by two Caucasian police officers. They were asking him all sorts of off the wall questions like why did he think he was being followed. This night he didn't have a security detail with him, so he was being extra cautious.

One police officer went so far as to reach into his vehicle to try to take his keys. Both officers were being very disgusting in their treatment of him. A little while a later another police officer pulled up that happened to be black. He noticed who Mr. Perry was and talked to the other officers who apologized for their treatment of him. Still though, in my thoughts the damage was already done.

I ask myself everytime I read something like this what year are we in? I have dealt with racism myself for a very long time due to the fact that I only date black men. I am just amazed, still, that ignorance is alive and well and rearing its ugly head. We are all the same on the inside, we all bleed red and we all have the same organs. The only things that make us different are our skin color, eye color, and culture. I still don't understand why people can't teach tolerance instead of hate.

One of my friends the other day totally surprised me. They were describing to me how they were standing in line talking with an officer when a couple of younger guys came in to the restaurant they were at. My friend turned to the officer and said "Now look I am a black man, I work hard for a living and pay taxes. Look at those kids they are N*****(I hate that word btw) now what are you going to do about them?" At which point I asked, really racist against your own huh?

I just do not condone intolerance of any kind. Whether it be from a public official or from someone of the same race. This is 2012, there are far worse things to worry about right now then hate, like survival of the planet and all of its inhabitants. So let's come out of the dark ages and into the now and stop all the hate, sooner or later we are going to need the person who skin color is different to help us to survive.

I tried staying away from my blog but the pull is too strong. My blog has been my sounding board for the last 14 months, taking time away now is just something I can't do. I know it sounds weird, but my blog has been my comfort through my journey.

It has been my journal of my steps through hell with my divorce. It still is my comfort now in happiness. With meeting a lot of the bloggers last weekend, it pretty much cemented my stay here in blogland. So with that being said, I can not take anytime off, I tried really I did.

I apologize ahead of time if some of my posts get crazy or off kilter. I am going through a helluva lot of stress in my life right now. I promise to put the keyboard down and back away if it gets too bad. I think right now, though, I need a lot of comfort. Whether it be through my writings, music or my boyfriend, I need my blog.

Funny thing though, studies have shown that writing a journal is the best thing for mental patients. OK did I just call myself certifiable LOL. I promise you I am not that bad, as long as I stay medicated (oops did I just say that LOL.)

My creative side, poem to a busy man. May 13, 2012 4:59 am

As I lay here, tears run freely down my face.
Thoughts of you spring freely from their place.
I love you greatly and the feeling continueses to grow.
I may love you more then you will ever know.
I yearn for more time to hold you, love you, and kiss you.
But I seem to be last on the list, everybody gets more of you.
So I wait, for you to turn to me so that we may have our time.
I know our time together is so sublime.

Remember one thing my love, I am not her.
You know the one that caused all the hurt.
Haven't I showed you I am different, that I respect you.
Or is it that your scared and don't have a clue.
I have promised to love and care for you.
All the promises are true.
I have promised to not cheat or lie
Or text you to say goodbye.
I am an honorable and real girl
I have even promised to make you toes curl.

So I plead to you to turn to me from your place
and kiss away these tears from my face.
My feelings for you will continue to grow
And I will continue to love you more then you even know.

Laying myself bare for all to see May 12, 2012 7:20 am

I love blues, hip hop, and r&b my tastes are eclectic though I like all music it is a healer of the soul.  I like wrestling,  football,  and basketball.  I love playing chess and other games that make you use your brain.  I love to read and to write short stories its my get away.  I have beautiful sons,  grand sons and daughters.  I love family they are what make us who we are.  I love birds and I watch anime, I am a nerd at heart.  When I say I love you to someone I mean it.  When I love I love completely and forsake all others.  I laugh at stupid jokes, I cry freely at sad things and I hurt for others.  I hate liars,  cheats and fakes.  I love God and pray daily.  I wouldblove to get married again one day but not right now I want to take things slow.  I get jealous but try to contain it as much as I can.

Why you ask I am putting myself out there like this,  because people never ask about who you are. They don't like to ask questions,  forget all that I will tell you.  I am honest to a fault and usually end up getting hurt.  Why because I open myself up to some people.  I am tired of games and not knowing well now you know about me.

What more do you need?  I love to cuddle, cook, and save money.  I have OCD and clean when I don't have to.  Anything else because that is all of me, there is nothing else left to say.

I have been nice, and being nice has gotten me taken advantage of, beat down, broken, and totally disrespected. I have taken it but now I can’t take it anymore. I am not something that you can just throw in the gutter like trash. I am not a punching bag, and for gods sake when a person shows kindness is it going to kill you to reciprocate. It seems it does, you can be there for people all that you want, you can save them from hardships but I’ll be damned if they will even give a rats ass that you did.

They got what they want, you aren’t needed anymore. Fine be that way, see if anyone else will do that for you. See if anyone else will save you from being on the street. See if anyone else will stay up and hold your hand while you cry because you just got hurt. See if anyone else will do things for you.

I have cared way to much for other individuals, passed what I should have. I have been their guardian angel when they needed me. Well guess what world this guardian angel just lost her wings and has grown horns. Forget what you heard, I brought the old me back. If no one likes it then walk out, hell your not the first and you sure wont be the last. Everyone wanted to push me to ugliness and that is what you get.

Rant brought to you by beer, tequila, and rum.

Looking for something when nothings there May 10, 2012 5:50 am

Thanks to a very good friend of mine, he showed me the error of my ways. He said that because of my uber-emotional state I am looking for things that may not be there. Yep he's right, I am just being stupid. You know sometimes you have to just stop being stupid. I think I am probably going to be doing some serious apologizing here in the near future. I hope my man understands that things are a little weird with me right now. I think until I get all this out of my system I need to take some me time.

Have you ever got the feeling that something was wrong in your relationship, but the other half just wasn't saying what it was? I have had this numerous times in past relationships, I am all about open honest communication with my SigO. In the past they just didn't seem to want to talk or just didn't care enough to inform me what the problem was. They usually waited until things were almost too broken to speak up.

I know in my current relationship we tell each other almost everything. We all have to keep some things to ourselves right. I have been a little crazy lately, though, due to stress and trying to quit smoking. For the most part, I have tried to keep that craziness away from him. I have slipped up once or twice with it but other than that we are good.

I worry about some stupid things, at times. Right now it is intensified due to withdrawals, all these emotions are converging at once. It really makes me want to quit trying to quit smoking. There are a lot of emotions coming to the forefront that just aren't me, I am stunned, I can't believe that quitting smoking would so emotional. Well here's to getting healthy, and not making him crazy in the meantime LOL.
