"Dear Young Warriors fighting the wrong wars! Killing each other is definitely played out. Being hurt from the loss of a love one was never cool.

Dear Young Warriors fighting the wrong war! I know that feeling, that frustration with life and needing to take it out on someone, anyone. But….

We chose the dumbest things to go the hardest for. I remember seeing deaths over 8 ball jackets, fila’s, and name plate chains. Deaths over “he say she say”!!!!! “I’m from This block or I’m from that block,” or “my moms n pops is f*cked up now the whole world gotta pay!!!”

I remember feeling like I was the hardest “n*gga” breathin. And I couldn’t wait to prove it. 
But let’s think. What r we really proving?? And proving what to who?? Everybody knows Chicago breeds the strongest of the strong but I just feel, me, being ya brother from another state, feel your pain as if I grew up with you in ya very own household.

You have the ability and mindpower to change the way we are looked at. Look who’s watching us young warriors, look who’s throwin us in jail constantly, look at the ignorance in the world. Look at the racist dogs who love to see us down. Lovin to bury us in the ground or in jail where we continue this worthless war on one another. Young warriors…. We are WASTING more and more time. We gotta get on our jobs and take over the world. Cuz this movie left the theaters years ago, Juice, Menace, Boys n the Hood, Blood n Blood Out, Belly!

When we see each other why do we see hatred? Why were we born in a storm, born soldiers, WARRIORS….and instead of building each other up we are at war with each other.. May the soul of this young person find peace with the Almighty. I’m with you young warriors. You’re me and I’m you. But trust me! You are fighting the wrong war.

This sh*t sucks !!"

searching HARD!

OMG, the internet should be tired of my ass. LOL. Ive been searching so hard for MakeUp Artisty schools, including in California. I found a couple out there BUT the cost of living is a BITCH. Like seriously $1000 plus for a one bedroom apartment. They cant be serious. But i did get a little lucky last night when i found "James Albert School of Cosmetology" which isnt open yet. I called & they said give it another month. Im like really crossing my fingers for this one. This is something that i have become really passionate about. & one of my sister asked me a question that i think really opened my eyes to it. She said, "Would you do makeup for free?" & i replied yes. If you can honestly answer that question with a YES, then i think thats your destined dream.

via www.professionalmakeup.blogspot.com was a list of

'How To Choose A Good Makeup School'

-Look for an establishment that will offer you smaller class sizes.

-Ask them, are they using the latest techniques in training?

-Are their instructors makeup artists crurrently working in the industry?

-Do they offer a field work program?

-What are the tuition costs? Are they affordable? Can they recommend financing options?

cosmo school. =)

So ive been thinking about going to cosmetology school these last couple of days. And it seems like thats the only thing thats going to excite my working life. Like who in their right mind wants to work a regular nine to five the rest of their life, NOT I! LOL. But i lowkey wish i wouldve went to VoTech, because all of that would have been done and over with by now. SUCKS, i know. Im still young so i have the time. So come January 2010 i will be attending cosmetology school. Reason for waiting so long to start is because i dont want to just hop into anybody's school. I want to take my time & get to check out how each school looks & learns. So by the time i graduate, i feel that i have learned and hopefully beyond everything that i needed to know.

Buuuttt, there is a UGH part about it. I really dont want to do the manicure & pedicure part. Like i seriously just want to go for hair & make up. I dont know for sure, but it seems like before a photo shoot i dont think models get to get mani's & pedi's. LOL. Welp, if thats something i have to do to get closer to my dream. I guess i have to just sacrifice that time & get through what ever i need to do. Because I WILL be doing hair & make up for one of these big time magazines, and/or fashion shows in the NEAR future.

& may the lord bless me w/ the strength to follow and reach my goal to the FULLEST.

Love Lost

Reminiscing i remember me and you we used to play w/ the dogs.

while you were sleep id stare, stare while you lay in my arms

and now im stuck on stupid rain forest couldnt get wetter than you get.

I used to beat it up you gave me your love i abused it now im facing the music

Oh, how i yearn for your touch im so lonely now that you left me.

If i could run away you know i would

And im hurting cause girl i never loved you like i should

When your love is lost

Your whole worlds thrown off

When the one you need dont need you

What do you do when love is lost

I was tripping wouldnt listen now im sitting sipping shots at the bar

Now im riding to the 90s hits listening to aerosmith

I dont wanna close my eyes dont wanna fall asleep

Tell me how i can i be fly without the wind beneath my wings

Oh how i yearn for your touch im so lonely now that you left me

If i could run away you know i would

And im hurting cause girl i never loved you like i should

When your love is lost

Your whole worlds thrown off

When the one you need dont need you

What do you do when love is lost

And now i see

The man you need

When i look into the mirror i see change

And i close my eyes and wish you could see the same

But its too late

When your love is lost

Your whole worlds thrown off

When the one you need dont need you

What do you do

When your love is lost

Your whole worlds thrown off

When the one you need dont need you

What do you do when love is lost

Lost gone out the window

When your love is lost

Lost cant see your love no more

When the one you need dont need you

What do you do when love is lost

This particular piece of material rules the world. & EVERYBODY is out to get it, including myself. These last couple of days have been hectic on me. Because everytime I turned around somebody is talking about how successful they are. I feel that I should be in that position. So I question myself; did I not have enough ambition, was I not working hard enough? But its really unknown. Was I even destined for greatness? TODAY: Im VOWING frm this day forward, that I'm going to be all about mine. Just so my son can live the life I never lived. This dream is for me & him. See yu at the top.

something new.

via blackberry.

Weelllll...its gonna be a secret. So dnt ask me what it is, bcuz truthfully I WILL NOT tell you. There has been a new task that has come upon my life. I've thought about it plenty of times but now I'm gonna see how it goes. Hopefully in a successful manner. I knw it won't be easy, but hey its worth a try. Bcuz like me, ppl can be stubborn. LOL. But ill look past it & keep it pushing. But just keep this in thought..."Don't be suprised if she ask where the cash at" LOL. This is funny...WELP, we'll see how it goes. *& NO, I'm not talking about hoe'n. LOL. NEVER THAT!

THE BET!

via blackberry.

So me and Jocquez made a bet for $20, that I wouldn't get on twitter for a WHOLE day. frm midnight tuesday to midnight wednesday. And yes, I did it lol. It was a lil cool experience tho. I hella wanted to just give in. On me, it felt like I was going cold turkey frm a drug, lmao. Not that serious but still it was lowkey hard. But I did it, and that fool better give me my $$$.

almost 21.

OMG, I can't believe tomorrow is my 21st birthday. I'm so excited. I knw I've been grown, but its like SUPER official now, lol. Like I've been through so much in my life. Even though I'm still going through, I thank god for bringing me this far. And I'm so glad I never gave up, even when I knew I wanted to so bad. I'm hoping and praying there are more bright & successful events to happen in my future. *happy sigh. I LOVE MY LIFE! =)
