What a weekend

My first blog of the New Year  weeeeeeeeee  Happy New Year !!!

Yes, I survived the road trip.  Feel like I got hit by a bus, but it was a fun time as expected.

Rang in the new year on the balcony of a hotel close enough to Busch Gardens I coulda thrown a rock at it.  Talk about NoIsY!!  Yikes.  Found out that on January 1st there's a college bowl game in Tampa Bay so 75% of Georgia State Universities Bulldog fans were sharing the same hotel.  Oh to be so young!

True to form, the strongest thing I consumed was really bad convenient store coffee.  Shared some dirty jokes, relived a few high points from 2004 and met some very colorful people in the process.  That's my puppies fault.  Zaida the stunning Australian Shepard.  Her striking appearance and her loving personality always draws them in.   If I was a guy, she would be the perfect "chick magnet"  hehe

I had front row seats for the Fireworks display at Busch that lasted a good 25 minutes.  Even from a mile away they were impressive.  I ran out of gas about 1:30am but the city was still in full swing.  I wanna send a special shout out to the gentlemen who reminded me its not wise to play with fire while intoxicated  lol  Those 2:37 am  M80 firecrackers outside my door were a nice touch!!  I left claw marks in the ceiling of room #260.  Hope I don't get charged extra for that.

The weather was picture perfect, the soccer on Sat & Sun was wicked competitive which is precisely the reason for our travels.  But that story I will save for another blog when I am not typing with exhausted fingers and half drooping eyes!

Until then..

love love

Color Struck: A Psychoanalytical Perspective

Color Struck: A Psychoanalytical Perspective             In “ Color Struck ,” Zora Neale Hurston (2005) illustrates the tragedy of a couple in the 1900’s.  John, a light brown-skinned man, and Emma, a black woman, attend a cake walk to represent their community and bring home the grand prize.  Emma is so preoccupied with her misguided ideas of the prejudices of others that she inadvertently sabotages her relationship with John.  Her paranoia and insecurity run so deep, that they remain with her for 20 years and ultimately ruin her opportunity for true love a second time.  Exploring a work of literature from a p sychoanalytical perspective “aim to reveal the influence of the subconscious in the text’s plot, setting, conflict, symbols, point of view, language, and character development (South University Online, 2010, para. 1). From this perspective it is revealed that the prejudice that Emma accuses everyone e...

Confused..

(repost from May 2010) I have been wondering lately.  What happened to the days when people actually gave a shit about how their actions or words would effect others?  Does anyone think outside their own existence anymore? I have a temper.  Hell most of us do to some extent.  I have learned via trial and error how to keep it in check.  I have learned that sometimes the best thing to say is nothing at all.  Especially when I am pissed off.  Anger never translates to reason and understanding.   When I start to do something, I often ask myself how it will effect people.  Am I going to step on toes or hurt feelings.  Is it going to make me look like a total douche bag??  I have always been the type to "try" to filter my thoughts before I blurt or react. I know that I have stopped myself from things based on the answers to the above questions.  Sometimes stopping myself helps spare others while in turn hurting me. Typ...

Long week...

It has been a long week.  One foot in front of the other...one moment at a time.  That is how I have learned to plow through this proverbial roller coaster of life. Disappointed to be going on vacation with out my Love. Excited to be getting to go on vacation. Sad to be away from hubs while traveling. Ecstatic to get solid quality face to face with sissy. Frustrated that my health has so much control over my life. Blessed to be alive to face these challenges. Annoyed at work related BS that effects my financial well being and having no control over it. Thankful to have a job. Its a balance....
