Let's be healthy

So because I am an biochemistry major today I looked on the internet for some new findings in the medical field. I found out that the high blood pressure increases your chance of having dementia in the near future. Dementia is the state of being confused. Patients with dementia tend to be confused, have trouble with problem solving, attention, and language. People with higher risk have trouble with keeping track of the date, the tend to forget where they are or how they got to a certain place and they may forget who they are. People tend to think that Alzheimer’s and dementia are the same thing. Dementia is more of a disease that causes confusion and alzhemier’s is a disease where you tend to remember things that happened when you were younger and you have problems with short term memory. Researchers said there are different way to prevent your self from getting dementia later done the line is to eat right, maintain a normal blood pressure level, exercise and always do things that stimulate your mind. Lack of blood flow tends trigger dementia also, so make sure regulate the blood in your body. LETS TRY AND STAY HEALTHLY TO LIVE LONGER!.

Dining and wining

Wow I read an article about wine, even though I’m not a drinker. It was said that the color of a light can effect the way wine taste. Weird huh. They said the color of ambient lighting such as red gives wine a 1.5 sweeter taste than a white or green light. A red light also brings out a more fruity taste in the wine. So during the Christmas season if you go out to celebrate make sure that your wine is surrounded by some red lights to make your choice of wine worth your money.

Who are your true friends?

So I was suppose to go out last night, but I had a ride complication. It seemed as if she kept just making up these excuses to keep me from going with her you know. Those friends are not friends that’s when you come to realize that they are just associates. You can never tell your friends from your real friends until they do something that make you think other wise. It’s like when you first start school or something and you begin to make new friends. Once one of your so called friends start hating on you by spreading rumors, talk behind your back or even try to take your man you begin to see their true colors. That is exactly why I don’t get close to most females and tell them my business. I observe who they are and the way the act before I start to reveal my personal business to them. What some people have not come to realize is that everybody is not your friend. You can’t just tell people your business right off the bat. You must observe them first. Get to know them without them fully knowing you. Once they have proven that they can be trusted and they can trust you. Then you can be able to build a stronger friendship bond with that person

Being a Big Sister

I feel like a role model. Every time I talk to Jeff cousin Ke’shawna aka my cousin I feel like im a big sister to her. I tend to be peoples listening tool. I notice that a lot of people tend to talk to me because they trust me. They feel that I am the person that they can come talk to when their depressed, confused, going through a struggle etc. It makes me feel good about myself. It makes me feel important, like I’m actually making some type of mark in life. Being an only child I had no one to talk to when I was growing up. I had no one to express my feelings to, so I would write in journals. When I would write I could never continuously keep writing in it everyday I only wrote in it when problems aroused in my life. I can just think back like it was yesterday, when I would get mad at my mom. I would sit there in my room just talking to my self like “oooo I can’t stand her, I wish I didn’t live here”. But never did I have somebody to express myself to, somebody that can give me advice or lead me in the right direction. When I talk to my cousin (Ke’Shawna) I feel like a big sister to her. Guiding her in the right direction, giving her someone she can trust, and express her true feelings to. I feel like a Hero.

What christmas is all about

So its Christmas and I have nothing to actually stay up for this year. This amazes me how the year of my 18 birthday everything changes. First it snows like crazy on my bday, then my mom doesn’t even get me a Christmas gift, she thought that by taking me on a shopping spree would make up for it, which sounds good to me. All the new privileges that I have I can’t even do because it’s snowing.... but I can’t believe this is the first Christmas where im not all geeked up to stay up until 12 to open presents. I don’t even have a Christmas tree.. smh But yet and still that’s not going to ruin my Christmas day because this day wasn’t meant for me it was meant for Jesus. My day was two days ago. So now I can really appreciate the day that Christ was born. People have turned Christmas into a day where we just celebrate and exchange gifts. Our society has made up this fictitious figure that they call Santa Claus to substitute jesus. When really this day was suppose to be in remembrance to the day that Jesus was born. Families fail to explain to their children the significance of this day. So they use the myth stories such as Santa Claus and his rain deer to substitute the story about the day Jesus was born. They figure because kids are to young to understand the importance of Christmas they don’t even bother to mention the true meaning. Thank you lord for this day. I hope everyone enjoys their Christmas and don’t forget about what Christmas is really all about.

So today is today is my bday and im legal . Wow it seems like time was flying by. I can remember like it was yesterday when I use to play with my cousins playing dress up. Now that we are all teens its like were doing our own thing. So the question of the day was “ Well how does it feel to be 18?” Well what can I say, being legal introduces you to the club life, jail, be able to vote, the casino, buy cigarettes, buy a lottery ticket, get a ticket for a car, getting a tattoo, go to a strip club and sex stores. So, I mean being 18 really has some positive sides and some negative sides to it. But I look at all the positive things about being 18. Being 18 makes you feel like you have more access to things in our world im pretty sure those who are 18 agree with me. But yesterday was my day and my day just had to be ruined by the damn snow in lame ass Minnesota. What a drag… shake my head. This is why I wish I lived some where, where its warm so I can at least be able to go bowling, skating or clubbing or something. And it just didn’t snow, it was windy, snowing and hailing all at once you know the type of snow that make you get frost bite. Just super crazy weather, but with the company of my mom, my moms friend and my step dad my little birthday wasn’t completely ruined after all. I felt so loved because all my family members that don’t usually call me for my bday gave me a surprise call. I felt so loved . Then something hit me today… my own half blooded brother didn’t even call me to wish me a happy birthday now how crazy is that. I mean I hope the excuse that he is going to try to give me isn’t that he doesn’t have my number because he does. I don’t want to her that his phone is cut off or he lost his phone or nothing because he could have just so easily called my dad and asked him for my number to call me … The legit reason would be that he just truly forgot. And that right there is what stood out to me during my bday. This is something I will never for get.

A friend whose got my back

Omg… so yesterday my friend tiffni posted a blog about me wishing me a happy birthday and I just thought that was just the sweetest thing. So in return I want to write a blog saying thank you tiffni so much. I would have never thought that I would find a friend like you at spelman that I can trust because it just seems like everybody else is just as fake as they can be. And the time we spent with each other when you were here was so fun even though all we did was go see princess and the frog which you and your sister went to sleep on… lol but I just wanted to thank you my dear for being such a good friend and having my back when ever I needed you. = )

This is something that i thought i might share from my journal.

December 14,2009

Last night I had the most interesting conversation with my boyfriend. He told me things that even made me ask why? He told me how he is the one that has to hold his family down and solve all the problems in his family. But why him ? he hasn’t even became a man yet. He is still in training; learning how to be a man and support the family. I’m glad I don’t have to take up that type of responsibility. Although I don’t like to be dependent on others I am… I haven’t had a real job since I been alive.. that’s crazy to me, because then it makes it seem like I been spoiled all my life. I haven’t , I just haven’t been taught all the things that I need to know to be fully independent. I love my mom and im grateful for her, but because she has sheltered me so much, I have become sneaky, more curious and anxious to do things that she wouldn’t let me do. When I come out that sheltered little home I become street navie. Meaning that I don’t know when game is being used. I don’t wat certain phrases mean. I don’t know what to do if I get caught stealing. I don’t know what makes my reputation look bad and who to hang around and people I should stay away from. I have discovered that I am the way I am because I have been sheltered. I am sneaky because I have been sheltered and because I do it so much, I’ve adapted to it. When I am being sneaky I don’t see it because it has become apart of my identity; Just like me being misleading. I like to tease dudes because I like the attention even though I don’t want them I tease them because I like the attention and when I let them know that I don’t want them it makes them want me even more. It makes them try harder to get at me because I don’t give that complete Nooooo I just give that “No he he he I don’t like you”, with a smile on my face. I still flirt which makes them think that they can possibly make me change my mind… But I mainly do it for the attention , it makes me feel like I have power over men instead of them having power over me. I can make them do what I want them to do. And guys are willing to do what ever is needed to get you, or shall I say what ever is needed to get in your pants.

Okay so this is my first blog but i have been writing in a journal that i have made for myself. So basically my blog is all about what goes on in my mind. Nothing that i write will be sugar coated because i want to be able to express my self naturally.It's going to be all about me and my mind.
