Tennyson Hardwick

So for the past couple of years I've been all into Blair Underwood's books! They are surprisingly good.  I've noticed that while I will read just about anything my fav type of books are mysteries.  The main character in these books is Tennyson Hardwick, a part-time actor, part-time bodyguard that stumbles upon dangerous situations. It sounds corny and predictable but it is anything but cheesy. I can't put the book down when a new one comes out.  Right now I am reading the latest installment From Cape Town With Love and so far I am loving it. My mother read it before me and she said there are soooo many twist and turns....that's it for now. I will be sure to give my review when I'm done.

Depression

What is depression really? People are so quick to say I'm depressed, but is it really just you not getting your way? Your too old to throw a temper tantrum so you blame depression.

According to Webster's depression is "a condition marked by an inability to concentrate, insomnia, and feelings of helplessness and dejection." Sure we've all felt helpless and dejected. After my first break up I felt like death. I cried at their drop of a dime. I missed work and the list goes on.

But was I truly depressed....I dont know. I'm not a psychologist, but I got over it pretty quickly so I assume I wasn't.

I guess the point of my rant is I'm so sick of American's getting diagnosed with all these mental illnesses. Please get over it! You are making a bad name for those who are truly sick.

The End.

Random Thoughts

So it's been like forever since I've decided to blog, but I'm super happy the technology of today allows me to pick up where I left off......

So where do I start.....

I'm at a place in life where I can feel myself changing.  I'm known as the party diva, always with a drink in my hand and a man on my arms, but now that is old. I no longer need to party to a good time.  Give me a good book, red wine (or coffee), music, and a comfy couch and I am in second heaven.  And I'm actually not sad about this transition, I have lived my young single days to the fullest. I've partied until I pass out, I've traveled the world, and of course along the way I've made my mistakes (but have absolutely no regrets).  See all of this has made me who I am today, a strong, independent, fashionable, outspoken black diva, and I love the person I have grown into.

I know beyond a reasonable doubt who I am.  I know what makes me happy, mad, sad and everything in between.

I've learned that you can't please or like everybody. Some people will leave a bad taste in your mouth (literally and figuratively).

I've learned that I am not Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte, or Miranda. Instead I am a combination of all four fab women. I am searching for my Mr. Big and will not give up until I find him.  I fantasize of my perfect family and life just like Charlotte. I am a stubborn bish just like Miranda and most of all I am an outspoken independent freak like my girl Samantha.

I've learned that 95% of the time, my flaws can outshine my good qualities, but that doesn't make me a bad person, it make me human.

I've learned that sometimes you outgrow your friends and there is nothing you can do to stop it.

I've learned that always doing things to please your significant other and getting nothing in return, is not a relationship....it's a dictatorship.

I've learned not to listen to what other people say is the right thing to do. Instead you should listen to YOUR heart.

I've learned I cant live without shopping, reading, coffee, music, and makeup.

I've learned that no matter what Beyonce does, she will always be awesome in my book.

Lastly, but most importantly, I've learned that I always and forever will be goofy, self-centered, and materialistic and personally that is what I love about myself.
