This Quiz is Wack!!
You are an angry drunk





You let your problems get to you when you are drunk more than any other time. You drink to escape reality, but instead, you become bogged down with all of your problems. To avoid this, try drinking only socially, and only if you are having a good day.


Take this quiz at QuizUniverse.com
Everyone that knows me, know that I'm a happy, friendly, dancing drunk. I'm not angry. I may get a little emotional, but I'm not angry! I don't try to fight, I don't get in arguments, I party! Ask my brother, he said that "everyone's best friend" when I'm drunk. I usually only drink when I go out or when my friends and I decide to have go to the bar or have a get-together... and then all I do is trip.... I only get angry when I'm sober.....lol. Take the quiz.. what kind of drunk are you?

What am I thankful for?

I’m excited about Thanksgiving. And each year I reflect on what I have to be thankful for. Always on that list is my health and my family and friends. But this year, I’d like to elaborate on the list and add to it:

  • My health – with all of the diseases that are out here, especially in Baltimore, I am thankful to be disease free. And as many people that are getting shot/stabbed, I’m thankful to say, I have never been either. Nor have I ever had a broken bone.
  • My family – I love my mother and grandmother so much, and all that they do and sacrifice for me, so it’s a given that I’m thankful for them. But I’m also thankful for those that aren’t considered “immediate family.” This year, a cab hit my car and I needed $500 to pay the deductible (I was getting that back, but I didn’t have it to kick out right away) My cousin gave it to me, no questions asked, and wasn’t looking for me to pay him back (but of course I did.) My father and I have rekindled our relationship, which is good; he was my last grudge that I needed to relieve from my heart. Plus that allowed my little sister and I to attempt to establish a relationship that we never had.
  • My friends – and I mean my true friends, not associates. I love my brother and Justin. I love how we can always count on each other in times of need, even when we have an attitude with each other. I love Ericka, Shawn, and Heather. Although they are in different states, and we may not talk as much as we probably could, if I’m ever in need to talk of an old friend, they are there. Kishia, Kiya, Sheneka, and Tarisa – you all are my new found friends and I love ya’ll too. I love that we all have careers, no children, and can/are doing for self. I love that at the drop of a dime, we are out doing something together. I love that ya’ll love to drink, party, and travel just as much (if not more) as I do. [Thanks James for introducing us]
  • James – you get your own bullet b/c you’re more than a friend (you are my best friend), but since I’m still waiting on my ring, you’re not quite family yet… lol. But seriously, I love you so much. I’m thankful for hooping with you when we were little at Benatlou all those years ago. And thankful for being your rival when I was at SFA and you were at TC. I’m thankful for the college years apart so that we both could grow and become the people that we are today… so that we can make each other as happy as we have, and plan to continue to do. I’m thankful for you always being my shoulder to cry on, my word of wisdom, and my backbone for support. Thanks for being so understanding towards me and my thoughts, feelings, and decisions. Thanks for being scared…lol!!! [our little inside joke] Thank you for loving me as much as you do. Most importantly, thanks for being you.
  • I’m thankful for my many blessings… school, work, luxuries (although they are slim) I’m thankful that I was able to receive 2 degrees from Penn State, and am able to go back to get my Master’s from Villa Julie. I’m thankful for being able to learn so much from KC Company which got me into the door at Micros. Although things are starting off slow here, I can see them getting better. Also, after 6 months, there will be so much opportunity for me in this company. I’m thankful that I make enough money to enjoy life. I have a nice car, that will take me wherever I’d like to go… I’m able to treat myself to my desires…

    I just wanted to put out there what I am thankful for. And I hope that everyone else can take the time, to thank God for their many blessings (no matter how small.) I hope that everyone has a safe and Happy Thanksgiving!!!

2nd Job Blues
Ok, so I’m at me new job. I should be relieved right? Wrong! It’s far from what I expected. I knew that I wouldn’t be on the fast pace like I was at KC Company, but this job is extremely slow. I’m bored out of my mind. I started on Halloween and have not learned much since. I’m seeing that with this position, I will become a great assets to Micros, but I will never be able to take the information that I’m learning to another company. I seriously doubt that I want to spend the next 30-40 years with this company – the benefits aren’t that great! People might say that I’m ungrateful, but that’s not the case. I want a job that I like the work and the people. Where I’m challenged, but not overworked. And most importantly, I’m justly compensated for my talents and qualifications. With the old job, I liked the work, hated the co-workers. I was challenged, but overworked. And I damn sure wasn’t fairly compensated. With this job, I hate the work, but like the people. I’m not challenged, but far from overworked. I’m fairly compensated for what I do, but not for my qualifications. It’s still kind of early to state whether I really like this job or not, but so far à I hate it! Speaking with a former co-worker, KC Company has gone to shits w/o me. I was hating my new job so much, I was considering going back. AK said that she would talk to my former boss about me coming back and they getting rid of a certain putz that’s still there and me getting more money. Sounded great… but then I thought about it. Everyone at that company saw how valuable I was, and really didn’t want me to go. My former boss had all the opportunity in the world to give me a counteroffer – see what it took for me to stay – but she didn’t. I’m just starting at this job and it will take me time to get used to the new setting, but I will adjust. I’ll stick it out at least 6 months and try to transfer within the company to the actual MIS department, or just start looking elsewhere, but I REFUSE to go back to KC Company. So please pray for me, that my patience with this new job gets better. My new boss has realized that I’m not slow like most people he has trained, and has recently picked up the pace with my training… so that could be a good sign.

In other news….. the birthday party was great! See pictures. We all were drunk as hell and had a blast! Can’t wait to do it again next year…
