A New Year!

Hi everyone. I'm so grateful to be blessed to see a New Year! The old events of last year are behind me and now I'm looking forward to the new events of this new year. Every year I, we, make new year's resolutions and seem to never keep them. We get disappointed in ourselves and just stop moving forward. So, I decided in 2007, I would do something that would not only help me reach my goals, but never disappoint myself.

I decided to create a vision board. I was watching an Oprah show, when it was on, one week and I saw this woman had created a vision board. The board was pictures of goals she had for herself and wanted to obtain in her life. It worked! So, I was at a turning point in life. I wanted to my Bachelor's degree to be useful in my life and I just wanted to get health insurance so my health would not continue to deteriorate. I wanted to be in a meaning relationship with someone who would be faithful to me only and be trustworthy. I had these God given talents and wanted to be able to use them the way God intended. So, I created my own vision board.

It took me until 2011 for my vision board to come into fruition because there were somethings and people I needed to get out of my life. I'm a loyal person who holds onto society's view of life and people because I have learned not take anything and/or anyone for granted. But I had to realize not everyone was supposed to go with me on my journey like my mom and uncle Greg told me. Trying to reach society's goals for myself was driving me insane. I had to come to grips that society's goals and my goals were totally different. In order for me to keep sane, I had to choose to obtain my goals for my life! I also had to learn how to be still and wait on God. The waiting part was hard for me because I felt I always seemed to get the short end of the stick. God taught me by waiting, I would get whatever I need and desire from him in due time.

When you make your vision board, you can't show everyone. You can show the people you trust like your mom and/or best friend. Some people are just going be haters. There are some people who just don't want to see anyone succeed as long as they aren't in the high position they feel they should have.Your vision has to be marinated before it comes into fruition, so you have to wait. While you are waiting, you should go and help those in need. You can help by donating clothes, volunteer at a soup kitchen, give a friend a ride to work, be a listener to a friend or family member, adopt a pet, etc. Helping others will not only make you feel good about yourself, but it will also help you get the blessings God has in store for you.

So, instead of making resolutions, make a vision board. This way, you can see how many goals you can accomplish in the year. You will not accomplish all your goals in a year, but you will not disappoint yourself. Get rid of the dead weight of society's view of you and malicious people out so you can move forward positively in your life.Understand, your other goals are on the way and you will be able to have a fulfilling life God has always wanted for you. Make your board today!

Django Unchained

When I woke up Chrsitmas day, the first thing I did was not open gifts, but I went to see Django Unchained. I really wanted to see the midnight show, but no theatre was showing a midnight show since it was Christmas Eve. I just couldn't wait to see this movie and this movie exceeded all my expectations.

Django Unchained was an astonshing movie. It was dramatic, comical, inspiring, amazing, and educational all at once. I'm so glad someone did a pre-civial war movie where there was no great white hope helping the slaves. I'm also glad there is a movie from a slaves point of view about slavery because America always down plays slavery. America wants people to forget and get over slavery, but when it comes to the Holocust it was a tragedy when the Holocust didn't even happen in this country. Slavery happened. We must understand and accept it. It is a big piece of American history that needs to be acknowledged and Tarantino acknowledges it in Django Unchained.

Tarantino is a genius when it comes to screenwriting and being a director. I enjoy all of Tarantino's movie, but this movie is by favorite from him. All of Tarantino's films are controversial and this movie didn't have any exceptions. Spike Lee, the film director, said he wasn't going to see Django Unchained because it is disrespectful to his ancestors. Well, I'm African-American and I didn't think this movie was disrepectful to our ancestors. I think Mr. Lee should have gone to see the movie before forming an opinion. Plus, I haven't seen Mr. Lee rush and direct any new movies, especially on slavery.

I recommend this movie for everyone to see this movie. Now a day, people are forgetting all the trials and tribulations America went through before it became America the free. We need to know our history before we know where we are going. I give it 5 stars out of 5. Before you see this movie make sure you use the restroom because you aren't going to want to miss any moment. If you are going with a friends, take turns if you have to use the restroom so you can fill each other in on what you missed.

Every actor in this movie was brilliant. I think Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz, Samuel L. Jackson, and Leonardo DiCaprio should get Academy Awards for their work. Jamie Foxx should get the Academy Award for best actor again! So, everyone go and get your ticket!

Are You Greedy?

Since the beginning of November, I have been disgusted by the terrible behavior of us humans. We are so consumed with instant gratification of material things, we have camped out, trampled people and even shoot at others to get our fix. It seems as though people have become like crack feens over materialistic things, its nauseating. Its just we are so greedy that we can't see that Christmas is all about love, being & spending time with family, and celebrating the birth of Jesus.

Actually, greed has nothing to do with money. Greed is when you take more than what you need. We bust our butts for a 40hr or more a week job and still complain about what we don't have. We also spaz out when funds are low, but what will you actually do if you were that 1% who have all that money and power? Would you be happy? Would you go against your morals and your beliefs?

I have to confess, I have been complaining. I have been complaining that I don't make enough money. I have been feeling like I'm a disappointment because I haven't found the right job for me and I'm not using my degree at all. I have also been feeling like why am I still at my parents house? What is the point of disability if its at a set rate?

What I and many other people don't notice, is that I don't need to complain. God has always provided for all my needs and most of my wants. Many people can't find a job and I'm lucky to work for myself. I'm still at my parents house because I'm on disability, and I do have a plan to be on my own. I'm should be grateful to be on disability because my medical condition has made it so that I can't work a 40hr week.

So, this Christmas we need to learn to see the little things. We should open our eyes and see the glass half full instead of half empty. God, family, and friends should be all that counts in life. If you give a gift, its the thought that counts. The gift doesn't have to be as much as your rent. All I want to do is be able to live comfortably and I'm doing exactly that! I never want to compromise my morals and beliefs just for a status. I'm right where I need to be. I hope you are too.
