Have you ever looked around (literally or figuratively) and wondered "Am I the only sane person in the world?!?!" Well I do this quite often. Sometimes I'll see/hear/read something that will really make me question these people that I share this Earth with (and I even call some of them friends - maybe I'm not so sane after all huh?) Are they delusional or am I the one that just doesn't know? Are they liars or do I just not know their truth? Did they choose the red pill but I chose the green one (whatever that means LOL)?
Nope I just really don't think it's me! But then again they're prolly thinking the same thing so who knows really! I just don't know what to think. I'm thinking I should keep my distance from those I label as "troubled" and stay a little closer to those that are more on my level of saneness.
Til Next Time . . . Smooches Lovers (and stay out of "TROUBLE")!!!

Two Dope Boys in a Cadillac
This post has been brought to by Outkast and The Duke!!!
Okay I think about this topic every once & a while so I've decided to blog about it.
We're all familiar with Facebook or MySpace (or any other social website), right? And we know that you can indicate whether you're in a relationship or not, right? And Facebook even goes as far as indicating who you're in the relationship with.
On my FB profile it says I am in a relationship with The Duke. I am professing to the whole FB world that I am involved in a serious relationship with The Duke and I'm thinking this is sufficient! But then I go to other people's profiles and not only do they have the relationship indicator but they also say write "I Love You" on their significant others' walls; they put how much they are in love in their statuses; they say that these people are the loves of their life; so on & so forth. So now I'm second guessing myself!!! Maybe I'm not doing enough. Maybe I should write a love sonnet on The Duke's wall. But then I realize that I just can't do it! Not because I don't love/adore/like The Duke, but because that's just not my style! Hell I choke every time I try to say "The Duke is my...boyfriend." Again, this has nothing to do with my feelings for the young man, but it has everything to do with...well I don't really know what it has to do with.
So that brings me to my dilemma...Is it something wrong with me? Am I not affectionate enough? Do I have commitment issues? Am I really a man? I don't know what the deal is! But just when I start to panic and try to re-wire myself, I realize - The Duke isn't complaining, so why am I stressing? We know how we feel about each other: He knows he's my favorite! I know I'm his "shawty" LOL!
I had to realize that every relationship sets its own rules depending on the two people involved and you can't really compare one relationship to another. Some couples are more "lovey dovey" than others! Our relationship is a tad more relaxed and that's what makes us work!
So til next time...Smooches Lovers!
P.S. The post was co-sponsored by The Duke because when I asked him how he would describe our relationship, he said we we are "cool like 2 dope boys in a Cadillac!" He also quoted Playa Fly (one of Memphis' Finest -LOL) "F*&% what these niggas say, we gon make it anyway!" I told ya'll our relationship was a tad different from most! Nothing like GHETTO LOVE (LMAO)!
UPDATE: Okay Common explains me perfectly in The Light (I knew somebody understood me!)

Po' Folks
Today's post is brought to you by Nappy Roots!
Can I just say that I'm am BROKE! I mean broke like I have never been broke before. And the worst part is it's not getting better anytime soon. This is going to be a very SAD, SAD SUMMER!

P.S. I'm not obsessed with money or anything (my last 2 posts have been about $$$) but financial difficulty is a UGLY B&*@H and my finances are being real difficult right now!

Ball of Confusion...
Today's post is brought to you by The Temptations!
...That's what Ash is today (hoo a hey, hey LOL)! Today Princess ERB (my fellow "Law Babe") and I were discussing our future and post-law school plans. We are starting realize that a JD doesn't automatically mean a six-figure salary (or anywhere close for that matter)! Don't get me wrong, money is not the driving force behind me becoming an attorney, however after 3 additional years of school and 3 additional years of tuition (and loans), one might expect to at least be able to pay one's bills and still be able to live comfortably.
Picture this: you're accepted to Villanova University School of Law, you bust your ass day-in and day-out to compete with the other law students, you manage to graduate in three years as well as pass the bar (on the 1st try I might add), and now you've been offered a position as an Assistant District Attorney in Delaware County, PA. Exciting huh? Think again! Come to find out your yearly salary will be somewhere around $30K and after taxes you'll be bringing home a mere $19K. Yeah you read it correctly! Now how in the hell are you going to pay all your bills (including student loans - both undergrad & law school) on that? Exactly my point!!!
Obviously being a DA isn't the only job in the world but it is a very popular route for recent grads (and a very important job)! And no, I don't plan on being a DA but how often does life follow our plans. Just makes you think, ya know! Yes I know everybody isn't concerned with money but some of us don't have that luxury and money (or the lack thereof) can be a BIG issue.
Okay, okay I know what GOD has for me, is for me; HE won't put more on me than I can bear; HE didn't bring me this far just to leave me; and HE'LL take care of all my needs but I wouldn't be human if I didn't worry (at least a little bit) but that's enough worrying today!

Home Again
This post is brought to you by New Edition (N.E. Yall LOL)!!!
"Back where I started on my set in black..." (betcha don't know what song that's from...I'll give you the answer after these messages!) Yep, I'm back in Philly and it's kinda bittersweet: I'm glad to be back in my space but I'm missing my family/friends/favorites. But my vacay was pretty good so I won't complain!
While I was in St. Louis (my for real home) Gram treated me to a little shopping so I can "impress the judge" when I start working (her words not mine - gotta love her)! I hung out with the fam and friends and just relaxed a bit. Highlight of this trip: Fee & I going out together! It was a priceless evening. They had me at a 30+ club for Daryl's (my step-father - that still tickles me) 50th B-Day Celebration. Old people drinking and dancing - yes it was as funny as it sounds! Needless to say, I thoroughly enjoyed that little adventure.
In Atlanta I was given the opportunity to try my hand at nursing! The Duke (somehow, someway) contracted tonsillitis! Yep BIG FUN!!! So he was pretty under the weather for the majority of the trip but by Monday he was feeling much better. We went to the new World of Coca Cola and I must say I had a great time! It really is different from the old one (check it out the next time you're in the neighborhood) Highlight of this trip: dinner & a movie! No not the traditional go get something to eat then catch a movie. There is an AMC Theatre in Buckhead that actually serves dinner (and beer & wine) while you enjoy your feature presentation! I know freaking fantastic! We weren't able to do the things we had planned but I'm sure there will be many more Atlanta trips and plenty of time to play catch-up.
Now I'm back to the "real world." I have a couple of days to recuperate and prepare for work (I start Monday YAY)! I am really looking forward to it too!
Til Next Time...Smooches Lovers!
P.S. The answer to tonight's trivia question: Big Tymers by Big Tymers (Baby & Mannie Fresh) from their first c.d. I Got That Work!

It's Me Again...
This post is brought to you by Tweet's It's Me Again!
"It's me again and I'm grateful for another chance..." Okay so I have neglected my blog for the last month but for good reason...FINALS (and they were a beast) but that's over so I can go back to being a regular person (well at least for a couple months).
School has ended so the VACAY has began! I'm in Memphis headed to St. Louis and one last stop in Atlanta before going back to Philly to start working (so I haven't gotten a job yet but I'm waiting to hear back about an interview I had last week - details @ a later date).
I AM A 3L NOW! (Caution: Random Announcements Ahead - LOL)
Nothing too exciting going on right now. I did have the pleasure of seeing Johnny Legend (again) at the Beale Street Music Festival! He was AWESOME (but really are we surprised)! Got to spend QT with fam and friends that I hadn't seen in a while. But most importantly I had another slumber party with my favorite: J-BOOGIE (my bad shawty LOL)! And of course we had a blast!
GRADUATION IS A MERE 12 MONTHS AWAY!
Not much else to blog about right now but I'm sure I'll have plenty more stories to tell! So till next time...
Smooches Lovers!
P.S. I'M GOING TO BE A LAWYER!
