Well...

I almost forgot I had this thing...

Since I posted last, I graduated from college! Yippee!!! Now if I can find a full time job before the end of the summer, life will be peachy keen.

I've learned a lot about myself over the last month or so since graduating...here's hoping the learning and growth continues...

I'll come back when I have a little less of a headache and post some more of my thoughts...

three. back.

man its been a while...

a lot has happened since the last time i blogged...went on a cruise...went through some travel difficulties getting there, but..i made it...and i had a really good time...wish I could go back, for real...

i really am only a month and some change away from graduating...man...i can honestly say I never thought I'd see the day, but...it's quickly approaching, and i think i'm ready for it...

i have definitely been on the dream's album love vs money some type of hard...it's constantly in my CD player in my car...constantly playing on my iPod...I still want to get Day 26's album, J. Holiday's album, Keri Hilson's album...i'm just in the mood for some good music now...

hmm, that'll be all for now...i have a deeper post for a later date, but i'm too tired to post it now...

number two. snow.

so like anyone else in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area with a job, an internship, school, or any other general reason to not want to get up on a Monday morning, I am hoping for snow. all of the snow that they're calling for, i want it. i would love to roll over, turn from food network to fox 5 news (as i do every morning) and read across the top, bottom, side, or diagonal of the screen that PG County Public Schools is closed and that UMD is closed too...man, that would cap off a g-reat weekend. i just want another day to roll around in the bed and do nothing...or maybe i'll actually read for a class or something...

i've been doing a lot of thinking lately...with all this newfound time i have to myself because of my lack of a social life caused by having to get up at 6:15 every morning to go help 1st and 2nd graders learn how to read better for my internship, i find myself having a lot of time to do some soul-searching and some thinking. sometimes that's a bad thing, but for the most part, it's proven to serve me well. the one recurring thought i have is why did i waste so much time on people that were so friggin toxic to my existence? like seriously...since i've axed people from my friend circle, i have found that my life is a lot less dramatic than it used to be. i swear, some people cannot survive without startin' up a whole bunch of shit and throwin' my name in the middle of it. go figure. i'm just amazingly grateful that i got out when i did...otherwise, i would have been thrown under the bus a long time ago by this particular person...

i've also come to the conclusion that i really think the term "best friend" is rather highly overrated. i have a few really, really close friends...then there are some i'm close enough to...then there are even more people that i know and that i don't often hang around, but we still know/know of each other...but i can't really sit here and say that one person distinctively stands out in my mind as a best friend. i honestly think that maybe that's a good thing...maybe i don't need to have one person to depend on...eh...idk. not that i'm all that concerned about it...it was just something that popped up in my head...

well...off to go listen to some more of the roots/talib kweli/mos def/jill scott/erykah badu/lupe fiasco/whoever else is on this playlist i made on imeem...

until next time,

ell bee.

number one. intro.

hello all in blogger world...

i've had several blogs in the past...but i've decided to make this one open and viewable to the public...so...there will probably be rants about my life...my goals, my dreams...and shit that pisses me off on a daily basis...(lol)

today is just an introduction...i'm pretty sure that over the course of this blog, you'll get to know me as i get to know myself...

i'm slightly stressed out about school...and slightly ready for spring break to get here so i can go on this cruise! whoo hoo!

graduation is close by...and i'm not as sure of what i'm gonna do for my future as i used to be...but...i'll figure it out...well this is all for now...i'm sure if i think enough i'll be back before the night is over! =)
