THE VOICE WITHIN

The Highs & The Lows

2011-03-03T17:44:00.000-08:00

How is everyone Thursday night going?! Its Jersey Shore Night!! Can I get a fist pump please?! LOL! Who is your favorite reality star from the show? I love Snookie and Pauly D. But doesn't everyone? LOL! Sammie and Ronnie just have too much drama for me.

Did everyone do their goal for the week? I made my mine, and accomplished most of them. But one thing that I didn't write on my list was to be happy. And without expecting it, I was happy throughout the whole day. My personal life had it highs and lows but in the end, the lows really paid off. Why you may ask? Because it helped me truly appreciate the highs. Have you ever heard the saying, there wouldn't be any highs with out the lows? Well, that's how I felt my day was going.

Tomorrow is Friday! WOOOHOO! I am so excited. I have plans to go and see the movie Hall Pass. According to Ms. Spears, That's Britney Bitch! the movie was hilarious.

Well I would love to know how your week has been and what are your plans for the weekend.

2011-02-25T17:57:00.000-08:00

HEY!! I already know what your all thinking, I have been slacking. But I have been so busy with my personal life a sister needs to relax!! LOL! Well, I am going to keep this short and sweet, like ME!!!

What have you guys been doing this week? Has anyone completed thier goals for the week?? If so let a sister know!

Well I'm off now to go and see Jennifer Anistons and Adam Sandlers comedy, Just Go With It! I am so proud that it beat Justin Bieber's movie last week. Jennifer really needed it! Unlike her new hair cut. YUCK! I don't know doesn't suit her well at all!

Well I hope you all had a good Friday, even with the crumpy weather!

Leave me comments let me hear your VOICEWITHIN!

GoalDay

2011-02-21T10:05:00.000-08:00

HEY! HAPPY MONDAY! I hope you all made your goals for what you wish to accomplish this week!

Today is also Meatless Monday. After watching an episode of Oprah for the past month, I have not eaten meat. To see where it comes from and what they do to the cows was way too much for me. Eventually, I would like to stop eating meat in total. But I love steak so much!! I blame my boyfriend for introducing me to prime rib. LOL!

Today is my favorite day of the week because their is so much on TV! I LOVE TV! I thank God all the time for the creative minds, that thought of DVR! Because I do not know where I would be without it!

Well I hope you all stay safe and warm. Mother Nature decided to remind us that it is not winter yet, LOL! (For all the people who were wearing shorts!)

TURN OFF ALL OF THE LIGHTS!

2011-02-19T11:50:00.000-08:00

This is probably one of my favorite songs off of Kayne's Album. So, when I heard that the video was out. You know that saying "Ignorance is Bliss"? Well, after seeing this video I definitely feel this is Hypes worst job ever. It was a half ass video, that shouldn't have been directed. And I am #TeamRihanna all the way, and in this video, I HATE her hair! Love the sexy outfit hate the hair. When bad things happen to good people.

I mean this is just my opinion, just like everything else I write on this blog.

Please watch the video and leave your comments. I sure would like to read what you guys have to say.

RIP UBERTWITTER

2011-02-19T11:18:00.000-08:00

So yesterday I sent a tweet to my friend, and two minutes later when I tried to send another one, it said "forbidden". I thought maybe because I used the word B. LOL! And I was being sent into "Twitter-Jail". So, I gave it a couple of hours and when I returned, I still kept getting the same message.

If you do not know me, then what I am bout to tell you will be news to your ears. I am tweet-holic. You know some people, live for Facebook but I am 100% in love with Twitter. And if you have to ask me why, then I am assuming you do not have Twitter. LOL! Anyways, because of my addiction, I had to download Twitter for Blackberry. Which is a hot mess and I am not the only one who thinks so. Many of my friends and the people whom I followed on my timeline have said the same thing. According to Twitter, its is doing whatever it can to shut down third-party and competing apps that tend to drag people away from Twitter's desktop and mobile clients. Well let me tell you Twitter your app is LAME!

So now UberTwitter has to actually change its name to UberSocial. I dont care what name it has as long as I get my tweets and re tweets in. Without having to "quote" a tweet.

There is a place where you can download the new Ubersocial, but I have tried and for me it is not working. BUH HUMBUG!

Lovely Weekend

2011-02-13T11:52:00.000-08:00

Its Valentines Day Weekend, and in case you didn't know, every store in the world will let you know. Up to 3 years ago, I never had a Valentine in my life. The person who I am with now is my first Valentine ever, and I am so grateful but I don't need to have one. I once was a single woman and it was borderline annoying and borderline depressing not to have a lover in your life. But you don't need a lover in your life to have love.

I use to celebrate with my sister, family or friends. And even with myself. Valentines Day is not about showing love to one person in you life on that day. It should be showing love to yourself or anyone that deserves your time and affection. It can also be a day of just love. Everyone needs love. Many forget the meaning of love and go over board by getting gifts that overshadow the true meaning of love. A lot like Christmas. I hope every one has love in their heart and shares it with some one that they love. even if you are single or attached.

Hope you all have a good day, tonight is the Grammys! Which I am so excited for!!! Who do you guys want to win?? I'm cheering for Rihanna and Katy Perry!

Lets cheers to that and LOVE <3

THANK ME LATER WITH NO HANDS!!

2011-02-12T07:35:00.000-08:00

I know I have been gone for a while, but you know what that means? Ive been busy getting my life better! So you all should be wishing me happiness! LOL! ;)

I have had a great week and I hope you all did too. I set up my goal for the week and Monday, and not only was I successful, but I knocked it out the park. And to celebrate for the fabulous week that I had, I hung out with my girlfriends who I went to High School with. Sometimes you need to have your girls night just so you kick your feet up. And feel like you wont be judge.

Well, while hanging with my girls we can upon this funny video. If you ever heard the club banger, No Hands, with Waka Flaka Flame then you already know how that song is a guilty pleasure. Well this kid name Danny Vola, did the acoustic video on YOUTUBE. Please watch it below I guarantee that you will like it!!

Hope everyone is gonna have a Valentine for the weekend! Remember its not about being in a relationship, its about having some one around you that you LOVE. If you need some one maybe I can be there for you.

SUPERBOWL : THE AFTER MATH

2011-02-07T12:47:00.000-08:00

How was everyone Sunday? Or shall I say SUPERBOWL SUNDAY? Mine was reallly good, got to spend it with my family and my boyfriend. Cant get better than that! My family is real funny and when liquor and sports are thrown in the mix its even better!

I felt so bad for all the Steelers fan. Its always tough to see the team you are cheering for lose!!

But like others, I was glued to the tube for the commericals and the half time show. Which I missed because I was on my way to my cousins house. Thank God for YOUTUBE, because I definitely will be able to watch it.

Well I hope everyone is having a good Monday, once again I am sick. I am getting over this madness!! LOL. Any remedies for an extremely upset stomach ache? Let me know readers ;)

I THINK I MADE IT!

SHITZ & GIGGLES :: DEBSTAR ft/ THE CHOSEN ONE

2011-02-04T15:01:00.000-08:00

DEBSTAR MAKING HER BIG DEBUT!!! R U READYY LOL!?

Scandals & Media

2011-02-04T14:08:00.000-08:00

After my favorite track off of Rihannas Loud CD came, alot of backlash was recieved. If you havent seen the video I do admit thier this is a lot of sexy scences. But if you ever listen to the songs or read the lyrics you will know this song is all about sex! And she doesnt even care. "And thiers no way she is even turing back."

Rihanna address the video being banned on her twitter. She thought it was going to be okay since MTV approved it, and in her video "Umbrella" she was completely nude.

So whats a girl to do?? Honestly, I do not think that Rihanna cares. If anything, this video being banned as caused many more viewers to want to watch. And if anyone knows bad or good publicity is what gets an artist to the top.

In addition, for the video being flagged by YOUTUBE. Now many people are causing the director of the video to have copied David LaChapelle style. I personally do not feel that she copied his style, more of No Doubt circa Tragic Kingdom.

So after watching the video please tell me if you like it like it! Cuz I sure do! I don't care if you think I'm bad because I am perfectly good at it ;)

Did you like the video?? Remember she is a good girl who has gone bad.

Cheers To The Freakin' Weekend!!!!

2011-02-04T13:43:00.000-08:00

It's finally Friday! Are you excited because I sure am! Its the first Friday of the month, so we all should be doing something wheter big or small! I want you all to send me pictures or comments of the things you guys are doing! And the best ones of course I will post!!

Remember to live each moment in you life like its the last one. And GOOO STEELERS!! LOL!! I had to throw that in, I mean its Superbowl Weekend!!

Love you all, and keep the people of Egypt in your mind and in your soul! I'll drink to that!!

Open Your Eyes -- Not Your Fist

2011-02-03T14:51:00.000-08:00

For the past few days I have been glued to the tube, because of the recent activities that have been taking place in Egypt. I know on this blog I talk a lot about this and that. Well today, the violent actions that have taken place in Cairo, Egypt have reached an all time high.
Like what is going on in most of the WORLD, the poor are getting poor while the rich are getting richer. However, unlike many who just complain, the citizens of Egypt have decided to take action in their own hands, literary. And their way of solving this issue is in a violent way. Many of the men who live in Cairo feel that Hosni Sayyid Mubarak who is the fourth and current President of the Arab Republic of Egypt, is not doing his job. Due to his lack of effort of making a change he has the unemployment percentage slip. The new Vice President, Omar Suleiman has gone on national television in Egypt to buy time for his boss and has stated that Munbarak will resign as the President and not go for another term but that is not until late September. However, to people in Egypt that is not enough, they want him gone NOW! And unfortunately until he resigns their country will be destroyed.

The men have beaten up everyone who has come across their paths and objectives to their beliefs. If you are for the President be expected to have a rock thrown at your head, or be whipped by sticks or have homemade fire bombs thrown at you and your house. The men in Egypt truly believe that this is the best way for them to get their point across, which truly saddens me. Yesterday morning CNN's news reporter Anderson Copper was beaten and attacked because of his profession. The people in Egypt are against any news reporters and camera men or any Americans.
I am not in Egypt but what I see is pure madness and their is no structure. Yes, it has taken for OUR President, Obama has stepped in and tried for this revolution to end but when you see the men walking and marching in their town square, all you see is RED in their eyes. When a man's mind is made up their is nothing one can do to do change it. I am only one person but with the help of all my readers who resend this to others maybe we can make a change. It is not fair nor justice that a man/boy/child cannot walk down the street without fearing for their life. Just think if it was YOUR family who was stuck in Egypt.

WINTER YOU HAVE OUTSTAYED YOUR WELCOME!

2011-02-02T05:11:00.000-08:00

I dont know what is going on with NYC weather, but for Winter of 2011 it has been extremely bad! I for one have fell in the snow or ice at least 3 times this year. And let me tell you ain't pretty site! LOL.

I hope everyone is safe and takes caution, while going from place to place. I myself plan on staying home. Last night as I was walking to take the bus, I busted my tush on some serious black ice. And now I can officially say I am over winter! I am a summer baby, and baby I need my summer NOW!

Well, fortunately for people like myself who do believe in superstitions, today is Ground Hog Day! And for the 1 person in the world who doesn't know what this is, I shall explain. Ground Hog Day is always on Feb 2 and every year, Phil's handlers announce whether he has "seen" his shadow. If he does see his shadow it will indicate that their will be six more weeks of winter. And if he doesn't see his shadow, we can assume that we will have an early spring. (fingers crossed)

So if your wondering, no, Phil didn't see his shadow today! So lets all cheers to a nice cup of hot chocolate!!! Try to stay warm and comfortable, but don't worry we will not have too much of winter left to worry about! Cheers to that!

FEELIN IT :: NA NA COME ON

2011-02-02T04:56:00.000-08:00

This is probably one of my favorite Rhianna songs of all time. The first time I heard this song on her Loud! CD I was hoping she release this song as a single. The video reminds me of Gwen Stefani via No Doubt days meets a TLC video. I don't know. The song is very catchy and naughty ;)

Look out for blogger, Perez Hilton and her best friend, Melissa in the video.

I hope you enjoy because I LIKE IT LIKE IT :)

KEEP ON GOING!

2011-01-31T13:40:00.000-08:00

HEY! I know that I haven't written much to you guys. But PLEASE do not think that I have forgotten about y'all. I have been so busy with school work and personal life sometimes it is hard to do it all. Trust me though, I am always checking to see if you guys leave me comments or anything along those lines.

I am taking 20 credits this semester, so you guys will have to bare with me. LOL! But if anything it should show you my dedication to succeed and make my life bigger and better than it is, currently. I hope that this also applies for everyone in their daily life. At times things may and will be as hard as a rock, but it is up to us to see what will we become. I have a big support system, however, not many people do. So many people have doubters and haters in their lives. But when we have people who doubt or hate on us it should give us more fuel to just keep on going.

I don't believe in long term goals because so many of us have short term goals that we cannot even finish. So for today we should all do as least one thing that will keep us going for the rest of the week. I believe in you!

xoxo

Rumour Has It IM FEELIN IT!!!

2011-01-27T16:56:00.000-08:00

I don't know if you have been under a rock or so but the new Adele song Rumour has it is amazing! And now Craig Vanity did a mash up of one Lindsay Lohan's hits Rumors.

It is so good it should be illegal! I hope u enjoy because I am definitely feeling it!

ENJOY!!!!!

DONT FORGET!!

2011-01-25T12:28:00.000-08:00

Please DO NOT FORGET that tonight our President Barack Obama will be taking the airwaves for his State of the Union Address. Mr. Obama will list five so-called pillars: innovation, education, infrastructure improvement, deficit reduction and government reforms.

I cannot enforce how important it is for all of us to watch this tonight. This is our future and as Americans it is our duty to pay attention to how his speech will effect our lifestyles.

So many of us watch TV on a daily basis, and give HIGH ratings to reality TV and scripted shows. So why not do it for a LIVE, informal speech. We need to get our priorities straight people!!

GOD BLESS!

AND THE WINNERS ARE...

TEEN BULLYING.

2011-01-18T15:28:00.000-08:00

One of the reasons I created this blog was because I felt that my voice needed to be heard. I felt that many children in today's youth did not have an outlet, an audience to project their feelings and thoughts. And now that I have this blog I will help having their voices heard!

Today it has come to my attention, that bullying in high schools is STILL going on for some reason. Many of the stories I hear are of teenage kids who are coming out with their sexuality and preferences. Do you understand how hard that is; to tell people who you love that you are not what they expect for you to be? And then to have to go everyday to school being tormented and crucified?

Lately many teens have committed suicide because of the non stop banter that they receive on a daily basis, at school. Recently their was a story about a teenage girl who killed herself because of the mean girls in High School. They went as far as having her explode from school, stating she was on drugs. Clearly she wasn't, and being kicked out of school was so much for her, that she decided to take her life.

As a teenage in high school I was bullied by this guy non-stop, to the point where I wanted to leave my high school. If it wasn't for my friend in Freshmen year who convinced me to stay I would have left and definitely regret it. However, unlike many people, not everyone has some to talk to, who understands.

So many people are to blame for the bullying in high schools. Because bullying starts at home and your inner self. If you know of anyone in High School who is going through a tough time talk to them because you never know if you can help them save their life. As teens we assume all the bad that occurs in our life will be forever. If it wasn't for Shanise Tyler I don't know what my teenage years would be like, and I thank her.

To all the bullies out there, you need to take a look at yourself and tell me what makes you better. Because any one who can make someone want to kill themselves is evil. This has to come to an end because this is our future! Its one thing to be a hater but its another to be a killer!

To anyone who is going through some tough times remember nothing last forever, but my love for you will! xO

25th Anniversary

2011-01-17T12:15:00.000-08:00

Today marks 25 years since Martin Luther King Jr day has been accepted as a national Holiday. So many of us are off from school and/or work today, because of this man. He fought for equality, acceptance and segregation. He died for what he believed in. So many of us today have a dream but would we die for what we believe in? Martin, was all about non violence and now these days the first thing people do when they have an issue with some one is fight. I.E. Tv shows like, The Bad Girls Club, Arizona shooting, and the corruption in Haiti.

Martin was very humble and calm. He had a lot of faith in what he fought for yet we still havent reached his expectations.

Today take the time to recognize the Legendary Human Rights Leader, Martin Luther King Jr.

Below watch this remarkable clip.
