It's Official!!!



Well, round one will soon be completed!!!

I have officially filed for graduation from University of Phoenix! Unless they blow the stadium up on Super Bowl Sunday, it's going to be on July 18th, 2008 in the University of Phoenix Stadium. I know some of my people's have Bachelors and Masters (and one with a higher damn degree than that, but that's cool), but getting my Associates means a lot. It's the motivation I need to keep the hell going. A lot of times, I wanted to say "to hell with it" since I already have a good yob. But I want more than a yob, so I'll need more than my charm and good looks to get it! I have already received a scholarship for me to continue on toward my Bachelor's Degree in Organizational Security and Management.

So, let's just say, your girl completed round one.

One down, two to go.

Let me know if you feel like making that journey. I'm posting the event really early because it's kind of in Glendale, Arizona. I already know that many won't be able to hop a flight to go to Phoenix, but there will be a hellified roundup in June...Lawd Willing.



Soon, I'll be rocking this!

Why I Decided On Surgery..De-Fat Posting

Okay so this is going to be one of those posts that will result in somebody being butthurt.  I have no earthly idea why because it means said butthurt soul would be that way for something unrelated to them. Yes, I have had Gastric Bypass Surgery...and no, I do not regret it one bit.  I also don't think it's up to anyone to tell me the following (in a completely unsolicited manner): *Who had it and regretted it *Who had it and had a gang of wrinkles, extra skin or whatnot *What they think of people who have weight loss surgery Why? Because... Yes, these memes help me be a snarky bastard yet keep the mood light. Before I go any further, I am not a jerque.  I am not someone who walks around with a perpetual attitude and my nose turned up at everyone.  I don't have disdain for people's opinions and I do accept that I am not the only person in the world.  I can discuss things and be okay if you don't roll with me.  But what

Depressed, Compressed, Oppressed, Suppressed, Damn Pressed.

I been battling depression the last month, yall. I haven't really had any motivation. I've spent the last thuddy days aggressively applying for job after job. I only got on my computer for applying. I've tried everything from receptionist to material handler and nothing has worked. I found myself getting angry. I began getting offended. I channeled my David Ruffin a la Temptations Movie and began yelling "YOU UNGRATEFUL SONS OF BITCHES" at rejection emails. I got bitter. I began feeling the urge to reply to the individuals who told me that "my experience was impressive" but they found someone "whose experience more closely matched" doing exactly what I did at my old gig. I drove up to one place that famously had me waiting FOUR HOURS only to have the owner interview someone who came in later than I did and pass me on to the other admin assistant...and fought the urge to go in and ask for him. Oh yes, children..heffer was GUN hot. Then I r

De-Fat Journey Thoughts for 7/9/12

Image
I need my ass WHOOPED for the last five days!!! I know I didn't do right. I feel kind of bad because I wasn't intending on being as sedentary on the holiday week.  I threw down the last three days on the fie barbecue, had some brownies, drank a gang of tea...UGH! Honestly, I'm alternating between emotions right now.  Do I get on my own ass for not doing right or do I applaud myself for progress thus far?  Do I acknowledge that 20 pounds of weight lost is great or do I get mad that it's not more? Well..I will not allow myself to go back to a slump about this.  I know I want to do more, and I know that I'm gathering more info to do better.  So I will give myself a shout out for still having the desire to work out and live better. Since I have never been on this type of journey before, it's still processing for me.  I have to fight the mental mind...in short, I have to be mindful that progress is progress...even if it isn't what I want it to be.
