A friend of mine occasionally writes a blurb about who/what GOD is for her at that time in her life. Today, GOD is this cup of green tea with lemon. It calms me down and allows me to take a quick inventory of what is going on in my life and plan my next move. In my cup today, I found cause for a change in location. This I find will be very difficult, but I feel the need to change. I need to do something that will force me to grow up just a bit more. Getting out of this area will allow people may actually take me seriously as an adult.
Just something I was thinking about.

I can use a stapler...
This was written on Friday, January 8, 2010 at 8:26pm
It’s infuriating how people insinuate my lacking knowledge simply because I am not a graduate from a four year institution (darn it, I’m working on it!). I am completely aware of the opportunities that may arise when I have completed my coursework in my chosen field of study and have benefited from the information I have obtained thus far. The reasons I did not complete a degree program with my high school classmates are many and there is no reason to start listing them now (it’s the past, and if you want to know ask). The pace at which I am taking to now complete my degree has many factors, finances, time, and health. Nonetheless, I am in the process of completing my BS in Social Science; I, the state of Maryland and the University are footing the bill; I live with my folks; I have two jobs that I actually like (well most of the time); I help care for my Dad. SO THE HELL WHAT!!! Ain’t nobody ask YOU to measure the aspects of my life! Check yourself!
Just because I have yet to become a graduate from the University of Thus n So, does not mean I am stupid; especially since I can use a hand stapler.
To the individual that has inspired this blurb; you have yet to prove to me college level reasoning in presented situations…you know what the college brochures say you’ll be able to do once you graduate. So I am not impressed…in the least. My awareness and understanding comes from nearly 8 years in the workforce, a BS minus 27 credits and LIFE in general, which will run marathons around you and probably blow your brain out of your nose. Just be glad I really wasn’t ticked off because you may have needed a thesaurus.
If one more person questions the length of time in it is taking me to obtain my degree, or undermines my current employment status (at least I’m working) just be prepared for the whole story (bring a snack and some tissues).
Ahhh…I feel a bit better
And in the words of Forrest Gump “That’s all I have to say about that.” Well at least for right now.
JESUS Peace

Today...
Today was the first time I felt uncomfortable being around children and pregnant women. I do not have anything against childbearing nor the thought of having children but today something in the air was quite different. It was almost like I instantly developed a phobia.
I am not rushing the whole love and marriage thing but it would be nice to have a prospect. I was armed with something Wendy Williams mentioned on her show recently; women today should not marry until they are in their 30s. After she's lived by herself, and traveled. So seeing those women in the doctors office, especially those younger than me, pregnant, I didn't feel bad not being in that group.
It was picture day at the OB/GYN. It was like 10 pregnant women in the waiting room. I asked the nurse if it'd be possible to have a baby free day in the office for those non-preggers? The nurse laughed, though I was completely serious.
