Reading does the body good

Well hello beautiful. Today has been such a phenomenal day. Nothing really eventful happened but if felt good to be back on campus, seeing all my pretty duckies. People have been complaining about the upcoming week already but I think saying how horrible it is aloud is another way of forcefully believing a horrific outcome. So to all those sad duckies worrying about the "impending doom" of this week...



put on a happy face because life is beautiful.

Anywho, today I had a meeting with Professor Voldemort and to my surprise he was such a doll.



We planned out the rest of my college career, seeing if I had enough credits to fulfill my double-major (in Rhetoric & Professional Writing) or let it rest as a minor. I need to take four more classes (2 during each upcoming semesters) if I wanted to fulfill the RPW major. Mind you, I still need to fulfill my other major (English, Creative Writing emphasis). (Take the survey above to help me out duckies!)

In other news, I've realized that I love my life even more when I read books (for leisure) and I recently picked up the habit again. I'm currently reading...



and it's so good. The first two sentences reeled me in and I'm eating it up. It's about this English columnist's retelling his sexual experiences...but get this. His job as a columnist is for a sex site and he is always assigned a multitude of bizarre sex adventures. It's so good. Go and buy a copy now!

Speaking of adventure, one of my people-friends Alyssa just landed a consultant job in Texas!



She'll get to travel the U.S., all jetsetter like, and her job entails (basically) being fabulous, creative and efficient. She'll have no problem at all. I love you Alyssa. I'm so excited for you!

On the topic of being excited, I was relaxing in the main student lounge on campus and a friend approached me. Midway through of conversation he (his name is Aiden) pulls out his phone, but not just any phone. He pulls out his new BlackBerry Storm!



And OMG, he even has the same chromed out case as me! I asked if he had BBM (BlackBerry Messenger) and he said yes. I'm glad he did because having a BlackBerry without BBM is like having a car without tires.

Okay duckies, it's time for some "Words of Wisdom."

"Sometimes life is too busy is keep track of all the goals we want to achieve. As a solution, make a master list of goals you'd like to achieve and place the list where you will see it everyday. Have a mission statement at the top of when you'd like to achieve these goals. Envision yourself with the goals you've proposed and before you know it...your goals will become a reality. Believe in yourself duckies!"
(Here's a pic of my "Life Contract" for 2009.)





Eddie: I saw you today at the Nest and after I was coming back from the library. I want you to know that I appreciate you and I thank you for taking time to read my blog. I thoroughly enjoyed our outrageous conversation in the foyer of Eagle Hall. I love you fam!

Limp Biscuit: You know who you are. I am sooooooo glad that you are well. I was shocked to hear about your ski accident and I'm glad you're still divine. I can't express how much I loved our conversation on the phone last night. Thank you for being you.

Duckies, it's been a long day and tomorrow is going to be even more attractive. I wish you the best of happiness. Stay true.

Peace, love & Obama,

Elle's $30 BlackBerry

Well hello beautiful. This past weekend was amazing. I didn't do much but I loved it. Sometimes the best opinion comes from alien eyes. (That was a random quote lol).

Speaking of alien it's been awhile since I've gotten a haircut and I like the way it looks. I look fresh. Anywho, I decided to go back to the barbershop on Saturday. (Remember I left the barbershop because Gabriella and Mommy were leaving too, on Friday? Back to the barbershop!)

I had to wait two hours to get my haircut because my barber was so slow and he had the nerve to be on the phone for most of the time.

Plus, someone farted in the shop and didn't confess. (I swear it wasn't me duckies. I have pride in my gas.)

Later that evening, all fresh and clean, Elle and I decided to hit up this chic lounge for a couple hours.

We spoke about our glamorous futures, had a few adult beverages, had a heart-to-heart and roamed the city...while dancing our way to the Starbucks at Union Square.

When we got there, two baristas (one who obviously needed to stop lying to himself about this sexuality) were arguing over a male barista's (the "gay" one) choice to end a relationship. The "gay" one said he ended it because the girl was crazy...like checking his phone, MySpace, Facebook and pockets (on a daily basis), to see if he was cheating on her. Gay or not, that would drive any person away.

Elle and I were laughing at their frivolous arguments...until she checked her purse and realized she lost her BlackBerry!


(Que the dramatic music!)

We immediately backtracked our steps, Starbucks in hand, but Elle's BlackBerry was nowhere to be found. I kept telling Elle to believe that it would come back to her because negative thinking would only worsen the situation. She tried believing in it until we both got tired of searching for it. We parted ways, going home soon thereafter, but I didn't give up. During the car ride back to Hartford I texted Elle's BlackBerry saying:

"Hi, if you have my friend's phone her name is Elle and her house number is (can't post it here duckies). Please be the beautiful person that you are and call to return her phone."

A couple hours after I got back on campus Elle texts me saying a lady found her phone and (with my help) was able to call her house to return it. Elle's parents drove her downtown to get her BlackBerry. (Only the true A-list are driven around.)

All Elle had in her wallet was $30 so she gave it to the kind woman.



The woman wasn't expecting a reward, she was just happy to see a BlackBerry back with it's owner. Yay happy endings!

In regards to happy endings, Aaron (my ex-people-friend) called me today. I didn't pick up because I'm so over that unproductive duckie. He left a message saying:


so I can know to stop calling you."

WTF? Honestly? If your so-called best friend hasn't been returning your calls since 2008 then you should take the hint. Aaron, I'm sorry but you just added stress to my life. I wish you the best with everything.

Okay duckies, I've held it off long enough. Here are some "Words of Wisdom."

"Biases are just familiar perceptions; you really can't blame people for hiding behind known territories. But when people try to force or envelope their biases upon you...then it becomes a problem."

By the way, I am in love with "The House Bunny."

(It's playing in the background right now.)
It's one of those movies that you can watch over and over again without wanting to OD on Pepto bismol.



Duckies, it's time to cuddle with my pillow. I wish you the best. Stay true.

Peace, love & Obama,
