The "TRUTH" tour

The day has finally arrived and Usher is in the MIA!

So of course you know I had to be fresh went I hit the scene. It seemed as time was flying while I was at the popular flea market getting my toes and eye brows done. It's been a while since I've been able to pamper myself in such a way, so no one could tell me I wasn't looking good.

Any way, made it to the house and prepared myself for the night. I was matching from head to toe with soft lime green being the featured color of my outfit.

On the ride to the American Airline Arena, I crunk up the volume and refreshed my memory of the lyrics I would be singing that night. Reality hit when I ran straight into TRAFFIC! Damn... cars were everywhere and I was ready to get to my seat. Being the smart diva that I am, I took the back streets of Overtown that no one, not familiar with the area, would dare to do. To bad, because I jumped all the traffic and found parking for $10, this must be my lucky night.

The SHOW!!
Kanye West is amazing! He was full of energy as he paced the stage back and forth singing the hits that described his life. He presence in the building pumped and bumped energy and fun to every fan there. I just wish he had another album so he didn't have to leave the stage so soon. I know that whenever he goes on his grand tour I will definitely be there. To close his show, he ended with the famous JESUS WALKS! We had church up in there! He had on his all white suit and he did his church dance all across that stage and I joined in, right in the stands.

A few celebraties graced the place...Shaq and his family, Jermaine Dupri (Happy Birthday), and Missy to name a few.

USHER! USHER! USHER! USHER! USHER! USHER! USHER!
Don't you know I'm your #1 fan. Got all your cd's and they aint even bootleg. You need to look my way when you pull a lady from the stands. (Those were the thoughts running through my head as I waited for Usher to hit the stage). I had great seats. Side stage right up close, enough to feel the heat when it shot up from the stage.

Usher tore the house up!
And it felt like he was singing every song especially to me.... and maybe a few other thousand people in the stands. But I don't mind sharing... but only for the night.
He danced so sexy and smooth that I know there were a lot of wet panties leaving the show that night.
All I kept thinking, while he was performing, was..."What was so bad that Chilli could not forgive a fine man like that?" She must be crazy, right? LOL
He took it back and did songs like, My Way, You Remind Me, and You Make Me Wanna. The fans standing in front of me were amazed at the fact that I practically new all the words to every song he sung and the words I didn't know my cousin Dasi had my back.
I can't remember what my seat even felt like because I was on my feet all night...and I'll be paying for it, with my bad foot, for the rest of tonight.
But to see Usher it was worth it.

Usher ended his show with YEAH! And who surprised the fans with a guest visit...LUDACRIS!
I did the A-Town Stomp, the Muscle, Thunder Clap, and the Rock-Away like I was on stage as one of his dancers. The place was so crunk that Usher had to keep backing the song up and playing it again. No one was ready to leave and neither was he. But all good things must come to end and the rest will continue in my dreams.

Until next time, be blessed.

TRUTH HURTS

IT IS WHAT IT IS!!!

THE DOLPHINS SUCK!!
I am a die hard fan of the Miami Dolphins and that will never end. But they are giving me a headache. Some people want to blame the new QB, Feeley, but we don't have a productive offensive line. Until they do their job and give Feeley some good oppurtunities for a first down play we won't really know his full potential.
I have to give top props to that Defensive line though. They work hard to keep the Dolphins in the game. But the D-line can't win it alone. Zack Thomas , Seau and Jason Taylor all get mad props for their individual efforts. Without them, the team would definitely not have a winning chance. All I can say is "IT IS WHAT IT IS!!"

Livin' my life like it's GOLDEN!!

It's funny how your words can be turned around and twisted into something that they weren't. But that's life. Some people have their heads stuck so high up in the sky that don't realize that they are just like the people they don't like. Before you dare to judge someone, open that so called openmind and see yourself for what you really are.

IT IS WHAT IT IS!

This weekend was a very special time with the kids. I ended up spending time with J and his 6year old daughter. She is something t0 get used to but overall she is a very intelligent little girl. Saturday we took the kids to the zoo. It was free for them and six for the adults. I haven't been to the zoo in years and when I got there I quickly remembered why. The zoo is hot and boring and none of the animals do tricks. Where's the entertainment? The kids had a good time and that's what really mattered. We rented the bicycle jungle cruiser and pedaled our way through the park. To see the smile on my baby's face when she saw the monkeys was worth it all. Her excitement was what made the trip to the zoo very enjoyable.
Sunday, part two, we took the kids to "Chuck-E-Cheese". That place what hotter than the club on a jumping night. Whatever happened to throwing house parties. Every ghetto person I knew and didn't know was up in that place. I remember when that place was calm on a Sunday afternoon after church, now it's just another jungle. There were less animals at the zoo.
Anyways, the kids enjoyed themselves and if they are happy than so am I.
It will be a while before I go to either place again. Sorry kids!

Just Got Paid.... And Gotta Work 2nite!!

So I got paid today and the Usher concert is next Thursday, so of course I had to do a little shopping.
I did, what I call pre-shopping, yesterday. I went to a few stores to see what the had to offer. Being that I wasn't paying for anything I didn't have to waste time standing in lines. I saw what I liked, tried them on and then put what I thought I wanted on hold. So today when the funds were ready I went back to the places where I knew I wanted something and got it. No long lines and and no need to fight of the clearance items because they were already mine.
I find it very hard shopping at times because not many stores have quality fashions for the thick women. We like to look good too. It's nothing more heartaching than going into a store looking at all the beautiful fashions and none being able to fit you. On any day that is a big blow to my selfesteem.
So I must continue to tell myself, "That BIG is BEAUTIFUL" and keep moving.
Last night at work, our senior staff came back from vacation, a day early. What a way to wreck our night. That man has no life for sure...hell, the job is his life. We also have a new lady working and she is already in my space. I keep trying to tell people I'm not that friendly. Every time I turn around she is right there in my face, or making noise and to top it off she found my hiding place.
This girl is really wrecking my nerves. She has a cold, and I can't stand a grown person with the sniffles, just shut up before I stick all that tissue up your nose.
Ok, I'm finished venting.
J and I are having so much fun talking and sharing. I'm really starting to feel like he may become a true friend. We have so much in common it's crazy. I wonder how he feels about the whole thing between him and I, but I'm afraid to ask. One day I will find out, but until then I will continue to enjoy the moments. God places different people in your life for different reasons, and for whatever reason I'm glad J is there.

Goodbye for now, but not 4ever!

So I have this night job and everything is pretty cool and laid back. Recently our senior staff took vacation because we finally have enough workers on shift. So of course we took great advantage and did a few things that we wouldn't do while he was there.

So I had the opportunity to chat more with the new male staff. He's not too attractive to me but he has a great personality. Our first conversation, not related to work, was about sports.

To make a long story short, this guy (J) is everything I am. And has a lot of qualities that I look for in a man...but if I never met him at work I wouldn't have looked at him twice in the streets. So my question is... "Why is that the men we don't like or not attracted to, have the qualities that we yearn for?"

This sucks, I have so much fun talking to him and just being around him. I just hope that he doens't begin to like me beyond a friendship.

The other part is that due to this new friendship J is really making it hard for me to have fun with my boyfriend. If I could take J's personality and give it to my boyfriend I think I would be forever happy.

DAMN! DAMN! DAMN!

J asked me to go to a game with him this weekend but I passed on the invitation only because I'm going to the Usher concert next Thursday and have to get a new fit and a hairdo for the show. But there will be other games. So stay tuned.

It's been a while...

Well due to certain circumstances in my life, it has been a while since I had the time to blog.
Wow, it definitely feels good to be here again sharing and posting.

Just a little update...
I now have two jobs and have enrolled in FloMo this semester.
My daughter is now in public school and my mind races everyday on safety and security. Her teacher has me on a limb because he has great teaching skills but he lacks greatly in people skills. So I'm left to think whether or not to remove her from his class. Due to the fact that I like the way he teaches and the excitement she has for school I won't remove her just yet. But if he proves my decision wrong, I will have no problem changing her class or even her school for that matter.

I got my hair braided and feelin' grown. It's been years since I rocked the braided look and my family is gettin' a kick out of callin me Alicia Keys. But it's okay cause the overall point is that I look wonderful in my braids.

Before I bring this entry to an end I have a question...
Have you ever met a person of whom you had to wonder how they got a job because it seems to you that they don't have any type of common sense? Share your experience with me and let me know that I am not alone.

Thanks 4 havin' me back,
Lady T
