iWish...




Not quite ready to …
Profess my unconditional love for you…
But I am sure that this is how that sentiment begins…
Wondering if we see the same clouds or feel the same winds…
I feel like I can lay my head on your chest and write lyrics to the beat of your heart…with ease…
And every verse would be…
As if you were speaking through me…
Mouthing the words in tandem…
All doubt is abandoned…
Music made…
The rhythm of his beat in the language of Shannon…

I NEED A JOB!


Aight so back in September 2008, my contract assignment at the pink ribbon plantation ended and I haven't been able to find employment since then...ok well...wait...cuz typing "find employment" implies that I have been "looking for employment", which I really have not. I have been completely (and almost totally) bullsh!t-ing!

I know, I know...you're thinking "but GOODY, how have you been paying your bills?"

Well dear folks, my answer is simple *insert Pharell impression* I'm a HUSTLER baby! I have several entrepreneurial endeavors that subsidize my unemployment insurance, but that is a whole different post! "I'm not rich, but b!tch I'm barely broke!" *wink*

For a while, I was entertaining relocating to Atlanta, GA so I had stopped job hunting locally because I thought I would be moving soon. After further investigation, I decided to delay my relo until the recession recedes. Which means, I NEED A JOB! I have been home for 8 months and I am going batsh1t crazy up in here! I miss interacting with other adults and have gained a toddler-sized amount of weight! So in an effort to fix my "problem", I'm rocking the P90-X for the office-less spread and I am now ACTIVELY seeking employment.

Are you in the DFW Metroplex? Is your job hiring and paying more than my absolute minimum salary requirement of 37k? Then please scroll down and read my "reh-zoo-may"!

GOODY ROCKS THE RED PUMP!





How well do you know your lovers?

What about the people they were laying with before they were laying with you?

In life, there are few guarantees and knowing your status is one of the most important things you can do for yourself! I have a few friends that have STS (Sexually Transmitted Situations)...you know, the diseases that you cannot take a shot to cure...there isn't a pill big enough to rid you of Herpes...Syphillis...or the biggest one of all...HIV/AIDS...I recently found out that a couple I know is infected with HIV! I was crushed for them! They are reeling from the news and aren't sure how, when, where or from whom they contracted this devastating disease...neither of them knows where to start to begin to process this living tragedy! Notifying past lovers, handling insurance nightmares, telling their friends and families...there isn't a word strong enough to describe the emotional roller coaster these two must be on right now...News like this is something no person ever wants to hear, or be involved in...please pray for them...

This tragedy made me think...made me pray...made me cry...and pray some more...

I know women who think it can't happen to them, but I KNOW better! There is no protection from this epidemic! It is touching married couples, gays, straights, children, the elderly and overwhelmingly WOMEN!

I got an email from LUVVIE asking me to support this movement...and it hit so close to home for me, I had no choice!

KNOW YOUR STATUS!!

Today is NATIONAL WOMEN/GIRLS HIV/AIDS AWARENESS DAY!

I can't type it enough!!!!

KNOW YOUR STATUS!

Did You Know:

-High-risk heterosexual contact was the source of 80% of the newly diagnosed HIV infections in 2005.

(high risk heterosexual contact is defined as unprotected sex, sex with a man that has sex with men, concurrent sexual relationships, and sex with a person that you know to be infected)

-AIDS is the leading cause of death for African American women aged 25 to 34 and HIV rates among Hispanic women are increasing.

-African American women accounted for 67% of estimated AIDS cases in 2004, but only 13% of the U.S. female population.

-Of the estimated 141 infants perinatally infected with HIV, 91 (65%) were black (CDC, HIV/AIDS Reporting System, unpublished data, December 2006).



ONE MINUTE

Went to my friend's funeral, hoping in peace he now rested...

Growing from a seed to a tree, had worse climate than the rest did...

From age 9, this water sign was abused and molested...

Had hard times but "Jesus walks" is what he'd say like K. West did...

Gave his heart, spirit, mind and his body unprotected…

The catch was this man had 2 lives, showed both sexes affection...

He was on the down low and wasn't fond of protection...

Until he came across this sweetheart, orange moon, bright reflection...

She turned him on to good health and sharing the gift he was blessed with...

Don't ask, don't tell she gave him everything he requested...

Months pass, he's crossing paths, returning to her w/ infection...

She gets a physical and blood test, and then what? Yeah you guessed it!

Honey has full blown AIDS, to make it worse, 2 months pregnant...

She’s in the ground, not breathing now, and her children are neglected…

Meaningful life cut in its prime because she never asked questions!

Protect yourself and your partner’s health, life ends quick when you’re reckless!

Moral of the story, know your status and no latex no sex kid!

When you lay with one, you’re sexing all the people they've slept with…

The realest shit ever spoke…so respect it…GET TESTED!!
