What's The Next Move?

I'm at a point in my life where I KNOW what I want to do. The question is how do I get there. But the next thing that follows is, should I even stress myself or just let things come as they will. I have heard a saying before that said, "If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans"....Welp, that just ended any blueprint I had laid out. But really, what's the next step after college? Apply for more internships? Look for an entry level position somewhere? More school? I really don't think anyone ever knows. Everyone I ask is just going with the flow. It seems like there are no more jobs out there but plenty of people who are willing to jump at the opportunity if one does open up. The reality is I just want to be comfortable and live a happy life. I don't have to have a million dollars but if my future kids ever want anything, I don't want it to be a hassle for me to have to get it...Thats all. I really don't think that's too much to ask for ya know? But who knows, maybe I'll be blessed enough to do what I have my heart set on or maybe God will trip me up a little and I'll end up being a bum on the street lol...No but really. You never know what the circumstances may hold or what's really going to happen throughout life. "Nothing ever promised tomorrow today"...I think I'm going to plan a little but leave room for error, we'll see how this goes.

Social Networks and Relationships....Why don't they mix!!

I asked this exact question on twitter and the first response I received was "Oil and Water"....BUT WHY?!If trust exists in your relationship then a social networking site should not present any problem at all. We hear all too often that trust is necessary, but really, it is the foundation to all relationships. You can't go around anticipating a heartbreak because really it will drive you crazy. The only thing that social networks do is bring more people into your life. If you're not secure with you're one person then that can mean death, and I can see how a social network could scare you....What do you all think?!

What is "News" anymore?!

I've been over watching the news. I really feel like, what exactly is "news" anymore? The news reports on Trending Topics from twitter, who is dating who, and the latest tv gossip. While we are in a world with gas prices going up, wars, and death, people are trying to find out what's going on but get bombarded with images of Chris Brown's blonde hair. I really feel like if you want to know something, these days you have to find it out yourself. Depending on a news station or radio is not exactly going to do it anymore. So now I barely turn on my tv unless its strictly for entertainment purposes. My suggestion is do not let todays news and tv dictate how you feel....If you want to know something, go find it out for yourself.

Suicide

So, today I started a new blog called "Love Live Life", and it is about suicide in the community. It was specifically started for a project in my PR 2 class but as I was researching things to write about, I actually became way more interested. It's amazing how we live day to day as individuals and forget about the world around us. Most people think that suicide doesn't affect black people or our community but the thing is, it does. It was the third leading cause of death in black men from age 15-24 if I'm not mistaken. I just felt like that hit really close to home because that encompasses a lot of important friends and relatives that are close to me. I think that as a people we should just be more sensitive to one another and always make ourselves available whenever someone may need it. Whether they are close or not. You never know how much of an affect you may have on someone. Life is too precious of a gift for someone to want it all to be over at the drop of a hat. Like a quote that I read said, "Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem."
