The Features of This Lovely Lady

A Lady....... once she is found, has so much to offer and she would wait for the one love to come a long that will be able to accept all that she is and love her forever. Here is a brief description of this Lovely Lady that is oh so beautiful and possesses such talent and worth.

The Lady:

A HEART that longed to be mended, placed within a BODY that has felt tremendous pain and a MIND that could never understand why things seem to work out the same, EYES that see so much in the lives around her and try to use her HANDS to work hard enough to make a difference.

So with this HEART of hers that will recover, a BODY desiring to regain strength, a MIND that will fight to overcome the wars on its battlefield she promises to keep her EYES open to notice what passes by and what stays near. This woman has LEGS that she plans to use to STAND with her head held high despite what surrounds her and ARMS will be open to comfort those with whom she crosses paths. Her SMILE she will allow you to see when you make her laugh and bring joy to her life. Her FACE, you will see in your mind when you think of beauty. Her EAR, she will let you whisper in to tell your deep darkest secrets to never be heard by another. Her HIPS, she will use to bump someone out of your space. Her LAP, she will allow you sit if you're in a tight place. Her LOVE, is so true and sincere. Her MOUTH she will gladly use to call you Dear! Her LIPS, you could feel so soft and smooth. Her LOOKS in a time of displeasure would convince you to move! Her FEET, will be ready to walk a mile and more to get the job done.

But her SOUL can only belong to ONE.

This Lady is no fictional character in a novel, trust me, she exist and is truly all that I have described to you...A Lovely Lady awaits her King..Whether he comes or not she will always serve The King.

Frustration, Frustration, and More Frustration....(TGIO)Thank God It's Over

The day I left home to embark upon a new life and to continue my college career wasn't so bad... The next day though was a completely different story. I put in eight hours...just like most professionals do on their jobs. By no means was it fun at all. Going from one line to the next and having to stand in the same line three times was Riduculous and Out Of Control! First to Financial Aid, then to the registration process. Lines were from one building to the next and it was dumb hot outside or blazing hot. People tryna hold a spot for their friends and hommies tryna jump the line....Then getting in the building eventually sitting in a row of seats as you slid down when someone was assisted. Man, if I would have slid down one more time, I would have been on the floor....... the lack of staff and information was driving everyone CRAZY!!! The Aug has got to step their game up a notch for the upcoming semester... Being on list 5 in the financial Aid Office when at 12pm they are only on list 2 is not so comforting but some have no choice unless they camped out in front of Delany the night before waiting to be the first on the list.Boy oh boy I know I wasn't the only one who was frustrated but THANK GOD ITS OVER!!!!!!!

Brooklyn Baby Back Home

Yup, Your Girl Maine......The Brooklyn Native........ FINALLY went back home during the 4th of July.....for a visit on vacation from life in the country. A week full of reunions, bonding, and developing new friendships was sooo much fun! I was able to see people that I have not seen in ages. Trying to do something diferent this visit around I actually tried to plan my trip full of museums and other cool sites but I did not follow that schedule at all. Mainly because of lack of detailed planning and a tad bit of laziness. I needed to prepare myself for those train rides back and forth to the city. It is not something that I would want to do everyday but to those who have to I commend you. Now most of you reading this already knows that I have lived in BK for 16 years of my life and have had to take public transportation to get to school, church or even to a friends house but it is something else. I hit up a few cool spots: ESPN lounge, Stir It Up- a great spot for some Carribbean Cuisine- Thanks Coconut!!!!! And the list it goes on.... I saw so many people that I love and miss: My brothers, My Dad, Coconut, My Baby Girl Naiya and My BFF Tee, Sophia- Loved her company and hospitality, Donald and the Crew on Strauss, The good old church folks down at Monk's Memorial, Freewill, and Full Effect.

The hood was still looking the same... Crime, Drugs and more and more churches and Bodegas. Jeff Ave. was dead as usual, The Latinos were still blasting their music in the corner store, and of Course the people were still RUDE!! What can I say I live in a different culture and the south has taught the City Girl a little manners but when was in NY I can't say that I was the kindest but a change took place.
