Senseless Violence

Fri, 10 Jul 2009 11:35:07 -0400

In the morning on July 4, 2009 , my cousin Daron Snowden was shot multiple times in the neck, head, and shoulder and then passed away later that day. It pains my heart to know that my younger cousins witness situations like this and one day, I will give birth and raise a child in this world full of hate, violence, and murder. To be honest, I am terrified…..

All I have to say is that….if you are angry with a person…shooting and killing that person will not make things better. Ultimately, it will ruin your life and end the life of someone else. Just think, you are taking away someone’s father, son, cousin, nephew….you are ending a life.

It’s okay to think before you act….

RIP Daron Snowden 1965-2009

It's always sexy

To me, Sexy is being comfortable in your own skin.

Slutty is the complete opposite. Sluts are not comfortable in their own skin because they choose what they do to get attention. Sexy people dont need to make such decisions for attention. They just are…. :)

….Dreams From My Father – Barack Obama…although, I’m not even close to finishing this book…I give it 2 thumbs up. Add it to your bookshelf J Beautifully written and with carefully chosen words, Pres. Obama shared stories about growing up in Hawaii, dealing with the absence and death of his father, Barack Obama Sr., growing up in the 60s and 70s as a multi-racial child, his quest to find his African side of his family, and a journey of self discovery. This book was originally published in 1995 and re-published in 2004. It’s truly a page turner and it brought me that much closer to the mind of the man that is now our 44^th President of the United States. Please enjoy….

Recently, I ran across this beautiful video by Noel Gourdin entitled “The River”. Not only was this young man mucho attractive but, he had a voice that made me stop in my tracks. This man can really sing and he wasnt singing about sex or women in the club but, he actually had something real to say straight from the soul. To be honest, that kind of music is the hardest to find these days. I fell in love….:)

Post Secret:

Call me weird…but, I have this secret obsession with this series of books called Post Secret. When i first began reading the book, I found it a little dark…a little different than what I’m used to but I realized…I’m reading someone’s secrets…their life secrets..so much emotion… I couldnt get enough.

Reading this book helped me realize that I am not alone in this world. Everyone experiences a dark period in their lives..sometimes you recover from it all and sometimes…you dont. But allowing readers to anonymously submit and share secrets [to me] is a beautiful thing-almost like a therapy.

I even have a few of my own to submit. Maybe when I grow some balls, I will post them on my blog or even mail them in. So…I invite you to check out the link maybe even purchase the book…..Introducing Post Secrets…..

Single, Single, Single....Life

Tue, 03 Feb 2009 11:45:41 -0500

Now, I am single….happily single at the moment. Not looking for anybody but I keep running into dudes that want so much attention from me. Like I mentioned before, I am an overachiever that means time is money baby time is money LOL.

I dont have a whole lotta time to lolly gag on the phone and send damn text messages all day…did I mention I have a full time job too? Am I being a bit too petty? Am I a commitment phobe? Maybe..I had my heartbroken by the same person multiple times. And I think I have this emotional wall up and it will take a very strong, determined, and loving individual to knock it down. Sad to say but so damn true.

Now on the other hand, I dont think I want to be in a committed relationship or married because I see so many relationships and marraiges fail. Call me a cynic. Its cool. Been called worse. Its like why get married when you know you cant be monogamous? Do these people like hurting others or are they that selfish?

““For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin.But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life.””

Me in my favorite state…Florida….

Welcome.....

Mon, 02 Feb 2009 16:34:03 -0500

Welcome to my blog. This is where you will explore my thoughts and my journey….through what I call life. First things first….my name is Chantelle. Originally from Trenton New Jersey and currently reside in Woodbridge VA (around the corner from IKEA). You will quickly learn that I am an overacheiver, a determined woman with loads of expectations to live up to. I dont blame anyone but my self but, I feel that I am here for a purpose.

Recently, at a friends funeral, the preacher said something to me that changed my life. He said “On your tombstone, there will be the date you came into this earth and the date that you left it. But the most important thing is the -[dash] in between those dates.” He explained “What have you done with your life? Have you helped out someone in need?” That’s the reason why I do what I do….
