I Get It.
I’m not a popular person in any sense of the word.
Case in point: my formspring.me account has ZERO questions in it. My cousin joined it a day after me and has probably answered over 100 questions already. -_-
My mother told me this would happen. If you don’t make an effort to keep a friendship alive, nobody will. Either that or the people I know totally suck.
Meanwhile, I’m...

Ask me anything http://formspring.me/JOfLove
Seriously. Click the link and ask me a question! Good old fashioned fun for everyone!
Inside of my head, there’s a voice that’s constantly screaming in anguish.
That explains the headaches.

“Be a problem solver versus a trouble maker.”
This is on my list of goals for this year and it’s the ONLY thing keeping me from texting the drunk friend who called me beautiful last Saturday night. (“Ouch”)
That and the fact that I’ve been there, done that as far as bloodlines are concerned. :-/
I. Am. So. Confused.

I’m probably the last person who realized it, or maybe it’s just me. Channing Tatum looks like a more handsome Josh Hartnett.
Don’t act like you don’t see it.

Ouch
I never thought I could be one of those “mean when crossed” types until last night.
What I did wasn’t important, but I can say with confidence that I will never hear from ONS again.
All’s well that ends well—or on an awkward/bruised ego kind of note. The sad part is, it felt real good to be so mean. He deserved it. When I read the quote I reblogged this morning, I...

I’ve been reading a lot of things about love and happiness lately. So far, this one is the best.

Reneg
As I stood at the the stove in my kitchen rolling a sausage around on the pan, wondering why the hell it was taking so long to cook, I realized something:
I will more than likely become a slave to the products “As Seen on TV”. It’s easier to be a hypocrite than to cook a real meal.
And in the spirit of doing things I never thought I’d do, I’m watching a marathon of...
I’m probably the only Haitian who isn’t watching Hope for Haiti. Am I missing something epic? No Haitian is allowed to answer this question.
I am being extremely unproductive right now. I could be sleeping, rather I’m lying here wondering where my socks are and why I feel like I want to vomit and shit at the same time.
I really feel weird right now. Like I could eat something too.
I have to go find my socks. Then I have to go throw up.
People who interrupt others should be shot in the eye.
Now think about all the people you know who’d be living with glass eyes. You one of them? Of course you are.

Death to the director of the Shake Weight infomercial.
You know, the Shake Weight (!), its that new weight that gives you a “revolutionary way to shape and tone your arms” that is “shaking America by storm” (what does that even mean?) and of course only takes six minutes a day.
Now, although I absolutely loathe the invention for trying to take the shine of traditional...
Get Away
I want this year to be the year I visit Disney World, Atlantic City and maybe even a day trip to D.C.
Yes, I know those are all very cheesy destinations but I’ve never been and hardly travel so why not start small?
Let’s see what unfolds!
Enough.
As you know, I’m an employee at Antun’s. Every Martin Luther King Jr. day, the United Negro College Fund people hold a breakfast for a bout 800+ people (I still don’t know what it’s for).
Since it’s a breakfast that starts at 9 am, we employees (and since it’s an 800+ guest banquet, that means everyone that works for Antun’s) usually get to work around 6...
I’m watching Lars and the Real Girl. This movie is quite wacky. And by that I mean, it’s freakishly disturbing to watch. Good job, Ryan Gosling.
Direction
It’s tough when you don’t have the answers. Even tougher when you don’t know what questions you should be asking…
My life has become one big “I don’t know”. I’m confused and scared.
The Notebook is coming on Oxygen tonight at 8:00. -_-
Cable companies are looking for channels to get rid of, aren’t they?
People...
…are like cats and dogs. As we all know, when dogs shit, it’s out in the open. When cats do, its hidden under litter. Some people shit out in the open, some hide their shit. This concept knows no gender. Men are not dogs and women aren’t cats. I think honest people are dogs, and liars are cats.
I never know what compels people to lie, to withhold information. I do know that...
Update
My uncle has been found and is safe.
She's OK!
It’s going on 4:00 am and my mother just spoke to my sister Marlie in Haiti. As far as we know, we have lost one cousin (an older woman) and an uncle of ours (my father’s older brother) hasn’t been found yet. A cousin of mine was saved from rubble and should be OK too. My sister had to leave to be with my mother’s parents who are also dealing with this disaster in one...
I can’t sleep more than seven hours straight. Most of the time, I can’t sleep through 5 a.m. Today, it was 6:47.
I need a drug to put me into a deep sleep every night. Any suggestions?
Then I’ll need a suggestion for affordable health insurance…
…or a dealer who holds prescription pills…
Preferrably the latter.
Drought
New Guy and I are over—yes, before we even really started.
I’m “one of the guys” (something I’ve definitely heard before, but never from a man I’m dating) and we just “didn’t click” because “I’m me” and “he’s himself”.
No, I don’t know what any of that means either.
After a day of sulking around...
Late
Anything entertainment related, I’m always the last to know about. I finally downloaded Trey Songz album Ready onto the mac and I’ve got to say, I’m enjoying it very much. I’ve heard it several times before (thanks Sasha and Gabs), but never really listened. For all you hardcore Tremaine Neverson fans, “One Love” is my favorite song so far.
Now off to the...
I’ve been on a roll this week! Right? Eh, I don’t care what you think.
Don’t expect anything for the next couple of days. If you start to miss me, check me out on theupproject.com. I’d like to think of it as my journalistic debut.
Gemini
My Zodiac sign is considered to be, well, schizophrenic. I believe my periods of “depression” (you know, quotes because I was “diagnosed” by a “doctor” on my “medical insurance plan”) are not as consistent as periods of depression usually are. Depression.com says that if you feel “down” for more than two weeks, you’re depressed....
Plot Twist
So in a shocking (and by “shocking”, I mean expected) turn of events, New Guy and ONS both contacted me yesterday. They both carried on as if nothing happened.
So now I’m thinking: did something happen?
What I mean is, could I have possibly been overreacting? Now, as far as ONS is concerned, I don’t really give a hoot how I was acting, overreacting, stage or screen...
Just Some Things
Foreign or not, being excited about government assistance is a huge fail. Maybe THAT’S the American dream.
I hate sharing the same air as my father. If he coughs without covering his mouth one more time, I’m going to punch him in the throat. That coughing I won’t mind so much.
I’d like to send a special shout out to the mother on 80th and Lexington who just ran down the...
Gotcha, Bitch
“It seems like things will progress very nicely” Just hours ago, I was on cloud 9, excited about new prospects this new year.
Boy was I wrong. Now, you mind find it quite pathetic (as do I), but New Guy didn’t contact me all day, and hardly spoke to me yesterday, so I’m going to say it’s a safe assumption to assume that I’ll never hear from him again.
Karma,...
Incomplete
Ahoy, hoy! There were a lot of different things I wanted to blog about this week, but I’m afraid that none of my ideas were complete enough to make any sense. Ideas like:
1. Babies are assholes. I found myself engrossed in an episode of MTV’s Teen Mom last week. Now, I hate everything that is MTV and am usually forced to watch it when I’m at someones house so I had never seen...
Familiar
If you, like my best friend Dana, feel like you’ve seen Susan Boyle somewhere before, you aren’t crazy.
Apparently, I’m not the only one who realized that. Thanks, totallylookslike.com. :-/
