Akon's a diva!

I had the beautiful opportunity, lol to be hospitality manager for our spring concert Groovin on the Grounds and was able to work 16 hours and make sure that the artists were comfortable and had everything they needed in order to perform. From worrying about catering to outlandish lists, I learned alot in one day. The day wouldn't have been bearable if not for my volunteers who I came close to quick and cracked me up from start to finish. Ok so on to Akon(AKORn, to us), he's a diva. I mean I had to drive to 3 stores just to find some mango altoids, wth and bing cherries, dude cherries are a summertime fruit. Anywho the best part, well one of the best parts was running in the secret tunnel to get him and his crew and escort them to their rooms. Talking about an adrenaline run!! I think I can work for the secret service now.

The weirdest thing was how he walked in with one of his wives, concubines, gf, G1, or some random chick, not sure what she was. She thought she was hot shit (Ryann can back me up) with her dollar store gloss and hooker white shoes. Should have took a pic. I mean she was holing his arm and he just walked in, eyes straight, ignoring my babies, whatever. I think he coldly said what's up, it was awkward and icy. I also think he blew up in his room when he found that his cherries were canned, dude get over yourself. His crew was ok, his bodyguards, mean, one snapped at me when I said keep the door open when you leave, he's like what? Bastard!!

As for the show it was actually decent. I mean he gave a good show, wasted fiji and tiger water on the audience and jumped a few times into the audience. He's a fool but I laughed and he made me look. Oh and he lip-synched the entire set.

Afterwards his crew came back and weren't that bad and actually thanked us for our hospitality and that we got them a juicer and blender. It's called Southern Hospitality and we do it right. I am really proud of everyone apart of the group and felt like i earned some imaginary stripes and stars lol. I took a moment on the balcony of the union to take it all in and realized what I had done while AKON performed. It takes alot to get them on that stage, and I played a major point. Also groupie action is no joke, IT'S REAL and major as one chick who came back to the rooms said to the tour manager, "I have my id, ya'll can do anything to me." Alrighty then and she's a student, what an idiot. As one of my kids said, Akon gonna bang and throw that back OUT Bi**hhhhh!!! I fell out, tired and all and then he asked her how she was doing as we all gave her judgmental stares, classic moment

Euphoria came when his crew finally left the rooms after midnight, for we all raided it and took EVERYTHING!! I left with 2 pizzas, gatorade and some chips. I'm in grad school, feel sorry for me. I'm just glad my kids got something after all their hardwork. I am exhausted, somehow made it to church at 8am, and am finishing up my project for a class this week. I'm on beast mode but need to sleep asap!

Check out some explanation pics below!



It's ALL MINE!!!




Pic taken after midnight sometime, I was too tired to hold anything. Everyone smiled except me. I wanna be a thug lol!

Patience my little one..

Gahhhhhhhhhhhhh,
I wish I knew how to chill seriously! These past few weeks have been killer, ultra-worrisome, filled with stress. I HATE WAITING...I have no control, I can't factor into the what if, all I can do is wait and that makes me uncomfortable, vulnerable and overall, anxious. What if the worse case scenario occurs in a situation, what then? I know I can't control everything but I want things to work out. I wander will things work out, to many things factor into this situation and I pray that they don't fail me now. I'm gonna drive myself insane if I don't learn how to let go and just live in the moment, and make it one day at a time....

It's Official.....

Well after pulling my TI'ness from within me, straight hustle Homie, I got an internship and a job for the summer. I look forward to 60 hour work weeks but hey it's what I do. I don't know how to sit down. I'll be Austin Bound at St. Edward's University which is less than 5 minutes away from the best job I have ever had, camp counselor at Austin Nature and Science Center. I'll teach my kids great hiking techniques but also the science of making a fantastic volcano. I can't wait to be a fake parent this summer again and explore the beauty of Austin with my campers. I'm too excited. May needs to get here ASAP!!!!

Today

Today I promise to be a little more patient
Today I promise not to be so hard on myself
Today I seek for understanding
Today I search for who I am and what I need
Today I must stay steadfast
Today I must be prayed up and unmovable
Today is a new day

Frustration....

I'm waiting for a breakthrough.....

Have you ever been at that moment where enough was enough, you were beat down, and the white flag has been raised? Well I'm there. I'm dealing with a tumultuous issue at this moment and I wander how will God pull me through. It always seems that my life has to be hard, filled with tests, constantly, I just can't LIVE. Live, you know where you don't have to worry as much, you can enjoy life and do what is needed to survive and be happy. Instead, I have to be the ultimate multi-tasker, filled with inconsiderate individuals that don't understand me, ME. I'm not selfish but I wander why my life has taken this uncanny pattern of always dealing with a struggle. Never can I get things easy, not that I want to all the time, but I deserve something better

I'm tired of being the only one that can't have the full spectrum of fulfillment. Everyone around me is living the life, jobs, school, significant other ect ect ect. What do I have? My work and school, nothing more, nothing less and I'm tired, tired of it all. I need a change, I need a break through, I pray I can survive!!!!

I think my mind can send vibes as far as the Super Bowl...

Sooooooo I am watching the Super Bowl with Pittsburgh and the Cards and Bruce Sprinsteen is performing. Anywho he is bouncing on stage too much for my liking and I secretly wish he would fall, I know evil. I texted a friend my issue, 30 secs later he falls!!! I'm like oh shhhhhhh. Also why does every white artist need a black choir to back them up, it's so stereotypical now. Look at me I luv black people, NEXT!!!! Looks like the Steelers are gonna win this one unless the Cards can become the little engine that could!!!!
