| Dreams 2... |
Alright, so yesterday I posted about having these dreams and not knowing what they meant...Well I got an answer to one of them...
I dreamt that someone asked me to bring the message at church for our youth Sunday service and I said sure and immediately got excited about it and I thought of my church-but then I went to work last night and I've been trying to get a job in my hospital for one of my friends and some of the charge nurses were giving me a hard time because they wanted to get their UNDERQUALIFIED family members and friends in first!!! Send they behinds to housekeeping!!! But I kept my cool and still put her application in, so I'm prayin something will come out of it cuz I know what it's like to not have a job-NO FUN :-(
Well anyway, after speaking to one of the managers about this matter and composing myself to not respond to those nurses, I walked back to the lab and a pastor, who's church I spoke at on Good Friday stopped me and told me she liked the way I handled the situation and that she had me on her mind not too long ago...well after she went on about all her pains and what-not she asked me to bring the Word at her church again NEXT SUNDAY!!! OMG!!! I was shocked a lil but then I remembered my dream and I told her yes..I Neva got an answer/revelation so quickly but I'm happy with this one. Pray that the Lord will give me a message for His people...
Still workin on dreaming up those Lottery Numbers...lol..I'll share the wealth if I get them so it's not totally bad, huh?? lol just kidding

| Dreams |
When I was growing up my family always told me my mother had a gift of dreams and as I got older I began to understand what they meant: If Ma has a detailed dream about something, within 2 weeks-1month, it's gonna happen! It was scary during high school because she would get these lil weird dreams about me and I'd have to watch my steps..lol
I never remembered all my dreams {they say everyone has at least one dream a night, it's whether or not you can remember them when you get up} but since I was about 15, when I had "symbolic dreams" I would get a meaning for them later...It could be me over analyzing just a little bit but lately I've been having a lot of dreams, some I wish weren't just symbolic but what would actually happen, and I can't help but want to analyze them...And last's night's dream was kinda crazy...
I'm not that outspoken at my church here in Philly, which is definitely NOT me, but it's a big church and I'm just tryin to learn all I can and grow...but in the dream, the person who brought me to that church told me that I would be bringing the sermon for youth Sunday!!Now I don't really speak to this person outside of church {for many reasons, some people know why} and I told them ok. In real life Bishop would not just let anybody take her pulpit, so I know that was crazy, but in the dream I was all excited tryin to think of which one of my old sermons I could do!!!lol Then my niece was staying with me for a week and I took her to work with me and everyone was tellin her how cute she was, but in the dream she wasn't my niece, she was actually my daughter!!! HAHAHAHA, that could probably be because I've been hearing how much she looks like me and some people back home askin me if that was my child...lol...
I dunno what these dreams mean or if they mean anything, I just figure that since I don't have them too often, that the ones I actually do have, God allowed it for a reason. In the past, He's told me some things in my sleep about people that were actually true but we weren't close at all...WHY CAN'T I DREAM THE SIX WINNING NUMBERS IN THE LOTTERY?!?!?!? LOL

| Set Apart |
I was born in what is now the worst projects in Brooklyn {crime-wise}, we moved outta there to a better part of town which is still considered the #5 most violent areas in Brooklyn, I went to one of the hardest high schools in the city where almost everyday some Blood was tryin to press some Crip and vice versa, and I chilled with niggas from BOTH sides...HOWEVER-I was raised in the church, the Bible was the first book I learned to read, I've held many positions in the church, built up what is now one of the largest youth community service groups in NY-The Central Brooklyn Leos, I wasn't allowed to go out on the weekdays, at one point it seemed like I lived at my church, I couldn't hang out on the corner after a certain time, and certain guys just weren't allowed to speak to me.
Although I rebelled and did what I wasn't supposed to I always felt a lil funny and nothin totally bad eva happened to me but lately I've been thinkin about some of the things that are goin on in my life right, where I'm tryin to be after I leave Drexel so of course I started thinkin about this long way I've traveled in my life and the recurring theme of this chapter is: I SHOULD BE DEAD!!! I'm not even exaggerating this, I called my best friend to tell her and she said she knew that a long time ago, her exact words: "Shug we BOTH should've been clapped a long time ago. Either shot or beat to death" Janet is normally a blunt and brutally honest person {and I love her for it} but this shook me up a lil bit...
One thing I'm famous for tellin people, especially Tasha is "Who know betta, do betta" but I've found that I'm not following my own advice all the way. I've done, and still do some things I know I shouldn't and I don't want anyone to get this twisted, I'm not tryin to say my salvation is any better than your own, but I feel that I didn't do what everyone was doin when I was younger because I was different, when everyone was gettin tattooed and gettin pierced I didn't because I couldn't {the Bible said I couldn't and my father woulda knocked the ring off and my mother beat the tattoo outta my skin..lol}, I wasn't sleepin around at 16 & 17 and younger firstly I knew that the guys I was dealin with could not afford my engagement ring, so really what's the point...lol..just playin but that wasn't something I was into then and thinkin back on it HE was the reason...
I believe God kinda set me apart and made me different, I couldn't do what everyone was doin because I'm NOT like everyone else but with this I feel like because of some of the things I do that I know I shouldn't, I get punished pretty badly...When I figure things are going fine with something, I manage to do something and He snatches the calm right out of it to put me back on my knees... I just wished I could get it together in that part of my life and everything would be straight...
Please just say a prayer for me...i need it now

| Doing My Share |
I haven't spoken extensively about Hurricane Katrina but TV won't let any of us think of anything else for too long. Most of the coverages lately are about the political views and drama that surrounds the victims. Firstly, let me say that I do not like Philly as a city and I would never build my future here voluntarily but that feeling has intensified just a little but more. As the plans were being made for the survivors to find relief in the City of Brotherly Love, the city's citizens were complaining to the mayor and on NATIONAL TELEVISION that they don't feel that they should have to take in any victims or take care of them because of the amount of homeless people that they have already in the city!!! YALL AIN'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT THE HOMELESS BEFORE!!! AND WHY WOULD YOU OPEN YOUR IGNORANT, UNEDUCATED, AND MISINFORMED MOUTH ON NATIONAL TV TO SPEW THAT GARBAGE???!!!
Secondly, some of the coverages have gotten on my nerves too, while I think the people who are insistent on stayin in New Orleans because they can't find their dog {lol...but not really funny} are foolish, but for the media to mark them as looters, violent, and stupid is just wrong. To say that these people chose to stay is also a very misinformed statement...this is an area that was hit about 10 years ago with a pretty bad storm {which the government never tried to help rebuild from} so they didn't really have much, so if you ain't got no where to go and no means to try to get anywhere else-WHERE DA HELL YOU WANT THEM TO GO!??!?! Let's get some compassion, mercy, and understanding people or just sit in our corners and shut up!!!
Me on the other just can't sit in anybody's corner while there are people strugglin without anything to hold on to, so I decided to get out and do my part. Many of the survivors lost a lot of blood along with their livelihoods and some of the doctors at Lutheran Hospital and Methodist Hospital sponsored a blood drive and needed techs to take the blood so I volunteered my services. The Red Cross here on Hanehmann's campus is taking donations of canned goods, clothing, toiletries, and others so I decided to also help in that, now many of the students are back from break but it is our goal that when they do return to spread the word and make sure this drive goes on as long as these people need our help and to also spread wider to Drexel's main campus and Penn and Temple {prayerfully} so if you have anything to donate or time please do so it is very important. These are humans, grown men and women who have children and cannot provide for them-try to imagine the blow to their prides, to their self-esteem, to their hearts that must be...don't make these people beg for our help. Everyone please get out and do your share.

| LABOR DAY WEEKEND 2005!!! |
So I went home for Labor Day weekend and of course I expected to have a good time, but this year had to be one of the BEST Labor Days I've had so far! I explained earlier that Labor Day is a big deal in Brooklyn, especially in Flatbush {where I'm from}. For the past 3 years, the Haitians took over the entire carnival with the biggest bands, the best after parties, and costumes but this year I am proud to announce JAMA ICANS TOOK OUR CROWN BACK!!!
I got home Saturday morning and they were already in the street...lol...Carnival is originally a Trini thing but in Flatbush there is a larger amount of Jamaicans and we party harder, so we took it over. I missed the concert/party at the Hammerstein Ballroom on Friday and I was a lil upset about that but then my boys called and told me about another party Saturday nite at The Arch, a HUGE club, specializin in bashments. So we all went out there and I thank God I didn't get a perm like I planned...Elephant Man, Bennie Man, Sean Paul, Vybz Cartell, TOK, Patra, Sizzla, and Capelton RIPPED THE WHOLE CLUB APART!!! I will definitely be there again next year.
So Sunday comes and Ma makes me go to church. I say make because for me to go to my home church is a chore {I'll explain some other time} but the service was horrible, the sermon was crazy, and 3 of the elders in the church snored SOOO loud during the sermon, me and Ma were rollin...LOL...LMAO!!!
Aight Sunday nite was where things pissed me off. Aight, Juevex Mornin sorts 11:30 Sunday night. The streets in Flatbush get shut off and all the bands and trucks hit the street with music and everyone chills, drinks, and just walks around listening to the different bands and havin fun...but in Brooklyn there always gotta be some nigga to mess things up. Me and the girls were walkin down one of the most popular streets, Church Ave, and some fool turns around RIGHT BESIDE ME, and says "All yall bitches goin die!" with a burner right in his hand!!! And started shootin, so we all duck and run up the next block. We decide to head back to my house and turn up one of the "safer" block and as we got to the middle of the block, some chick was shootin at another chick and some other bitches was fightin in the street, so we had to turn and get the hell outta there too...CRAZY NIGGAS! We chilled a lil longer and went to sleep around 4.
MONDAY!!! We got our flags on and made our way out to Eastern Parkway where the big party was goin on. I ran right into one of my ex-boyfriends we got this weird relationship, but that's another blog for another time. But we planned on gettin on the HOT 97 truck which is usually poppin since there rarely is a Jamaican truck, but then him, bein a TRUE party man, put me on to THE BEST TRUCK IN THE WHOLE CARNIVAL!! {even though he's a Trini} Elephant Man, Sean Paul, TOK, Foxy Brown, Sizzla, and Bobby Konders&Jabba were rippin the music before the parade started and then they raised the huge Jamaican flags in front of the truck and we danced all day long {FROM 10:30AM-7:00PM}
The parkway was packed and it was soo much fun. My ex put me on to this after party in the city and we were gettin ready to hit that when Ms. Celebrity{Jailyah} herself got us on the VIP list for another party goin down at Shadow, another popular reggae club so we ended up doin BOTH!! lol I didn't get home til some time the next day and by then my hair was screamin for the hairdresser...
And now I'm back here, missed my rehab appointment, and I'm sore and tired, but EXTREMELY HAPPY!!! I decided that I needed to help with the Katrina victims that are comin into Philly, so I volunteered my services to the Red Cross here at Drexel and at my hospital, I hope everyone does their part, we all would want someone steppin in for us. New York's cops are down there tryin calm things down and our Mayor is down there tryin to get people out and to safety. Jay-Z and Puff donated a million dollars, and all the reggae concerts donated some of their profits to the cause, so I have to do the right, New York thing and chip in. Please help these people, a lil sacrifice here today, could be settin you up for great treasure up there tomorrow. Be Blessed

| My Mind's Playin Tricks on Me |
Since I was young, I've always loved just gettin away, just to be alone for once. Alone with just me and my thoughts makin sense of everything around me and even around those that I love. But lately I've had to keep myself busy so that my thoughts don't catch up with me for too long {crazy yea I know} I love my roomie, but it's great havin the apartment to myself and I was really lookin forward to being here in solitude to finally confront somethings head on, just me and my mind but somethings I just can't answer...
What is God tryin to tell me? Why does He keep sparing me? The Devil is constantly threatening my life and bringing me very close to my demise, so what is God keepin me here for? Katrina just solidified it for me that the end is commin and Jesus is gettin ready to come back...Am I ready?
Martin Luther King Jr. said that if we've lived a life without finding the one thing we would die for then we haven't really lived...have I found that yet? Am I lookin at the right thing? These are alot of loans and more is on the way, when/how will they get paid?
My meeting a few weeks ago...that just hurts my head to think about...we spoke, were comfortable in those moments, got some things out in the open BUT-was it real? Did I over-analyze everything? Did it even matter to them or was it a joke?...I dunno what I want to happen but I wish somethin would so I know just what da hell it means
My grandmother is gettin older and weaker, how can I take care of her? What can I do? When it gets too much for Ma and too unknown for me, how do I remain the rock?
Yo, my mind is playin tricks on me and more tricks are bein tossed in there so I'm gonna go clean the place or something...lol...lata

That's alot of damn Virgos in my life, but I tend to gravitate to these people {and Tauruses but that's another post for another time}...I dunno what it is but I love 'em, I can just chill, wild out, or share parts of my soul with these people, and if eva there's beef these are some of the first people to bang out wit me. So shout out to all my Virgos, I love yall dearly.

Ight well the term is done, finals are over, I'm still a lil weary about these final grades but the Father knows best, so I ain't goin stress 'em.
I'm on my way home to Brooklyn in the morning to surprise my Best Friend for her 22nd Birthday and my Uncle for his 52nd! J doesn't think I'm comin home {she thinks finals are still goin on ;-)} and her internet is shot so she can't read this b4 I actually get to her..lol.
Also it's Labor Day weekend and anybody that's eva been to Brooklyn around this time knows that this is the BEST PLACE TO BE RIGHT NOW!
Juevaux Morning starts at midnight on Sunday...Juevaux is the early morning party that goes on in the streets of Brooklyn in preparation of the Annual Caribbean Day Festival, this goes on til about 7 Monday morning. Then you head back to sleep til about 11 and head back out to the Parkway where the real party goes down. I can't wait to get back in the band...this year we're with Elephant Man and the Hot 97 truck so I know we goin be bangin it real heavy {I CAN'T WAIT}, this party goes on til 8 Monday evening. Then you head back home to eat/sleep til about 10 and then all the 21 and over crews head out to the dancehalls and clubs and 'wok it down stank, seen'...lol lil Jamaican for yall...
I'll be back by Tuesday for my rehab session and work on Wednesday but then I'll be in B-more with my ex :-/ {yea I know it sounds funny but we're cool like that}. I neva been there before so we'll see what they got poppin in B-more. Then I'll be home again for my other girl Shani's 23rd B-day {dang the crew gettin old}. I just realized, I got so many Virgos in my life it's crazy!!!
Tasha's B-day is comin up on the 12th, so stay tuned for more party details and I think I'm gonna be hostin more Sunday dinners and football parties ova here, just to get everyone together, we'll see bout that though.
Everyone enjoy ya weekend...be safe...say a prayer for all those affected by Katrina and please do whateva you can to help.
