So Congrats on everyone that made it through the 1st month of 2012. I know there have been some crazy things that happened but we made it. So the things thats been keeping me busy like I said earlier was helping to train in Foreclosure Prevention. The presentation I did last month did well, so Im gonna be putting in studying & helping people that come into the office. They want me to go through some online training yet the org that holds these trainings hold four conferences a year, this month in Los Angeles but too late to go, but they gonna have a conference in New Orleans in May so Im looking into that, I already applied for a grant last week to go so Im waiting to hear back from the company that gives them.
But also I have applied for a 2nd job for the summer, just to make some extra money on the side. The same place I worked last summer when I helped out w/ planning of their festivities. It being a bartender on the evenings & weekends, dont really know much about summer travels, but its something interesting. I have the position yet they want me to apply for a clerk position for the evenings & weekends as well so I might go back on Thursday to interview.
But with this month, might look for something to get into for Black History Month. Now for Valentine's Day, might go ahead & do some Vday shopping. I have a close friend in Memphis that I want to buy something for, we have been talking on the phone for months & I just want to do something for her, just dont know what yet.
Thats about it for now, hope everyone has a great weekend, and hopefully I have something deeper to talk about next time

Who are you??
I was watching a video on Youtube about having the power to be yourself in this world. It just got me thinking; do people today actually know what they themselves like? Is what we like based off of what we like or someone else?? I thought of some things on myself & heres what I came up w/ so far:
1)I like gummi worms
2)I like sports video games
3)Im working on being a cleaner person
4)I hate Leprechaun & Final Destination movies
5)Im sometimes horrible at being a romatic guy, especially at choosing movies for a date
6)I never drink coffee in the morning
7)I am a proud Dallas Cowboys fan
8)Key colors I like to wear: Black, Blue, & Brown
9)Love V-Neck shirts
10) Like to wear the sweater over a dress shirt design
Many more things, but Im just giving out some examples. Some people in this world have that problem of thinking for themselves. They see one person having it, they want to copy it. God built us differently, but he also gave us the ability to think for ourselves. And if we cant really think for ourselves, isnt that being handicapped?? Dont worry about if people dont like what you like, people are meant to have different opinions, if they dont like you for you, I guarantee that theres someone out there thats gonna like you for you.
Been busy, but hope to be back on here w/ updates on whats going on in life. Be Blessed!!

FratMusicWorkEtc
So everything has been going ok this week, already on that humpday. To start off the week, it was Happy Founders Day to my frat of Phi Beta Sigma Frat Inc, The Frat of leaders, difference makers, game changers, & history makers. Over 7 years in the frat & it still one of the best life decisions Ive ever made. If you dont understand how our frat rolls, check us out: Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Inc.
Speaking of facebook, this morning, I saw a request on there about my high school trying to get an alumni football team together. Meaning the whole 9; pads, helmets, and high school rules. So far I heard the nearby schools (Lakeside & Lake Hamilton) are also getting teams together, so Im debating it. I was a linebacker in high school yet if I plan to go out there, could coach have me play some safety because Im still short but I still steady working out.
But on Monday as well, I gotten an interesting job. My boss pulled me aside & she wants me to teach a session in Foreclosure Prevention next weekend during the next homeowners workshop. Im reading up a lot on the subject & planning to get some full stuff reading & studying this week & all this coming weekend. Even trying to do a slide presentation & might make my own handouts.
As Im tying this, Im banging that new Rick Ross - Rich Forever, I wanted to check it out, I know Im a jazz person, but with a mixtape to gain over 500K downloads in a couple of days, I'll try to check it out. Saw the track list, he got some allstars on this: Diddy, Wale, John Legend, Nas, Kelly Rowland, Styles P, Drake, & a few others. But on mixtapes, Almost every monring Im banging that Ludacris 1.21 Gigawatts, waiting on his new album to come out.
But my closing thing as well: Whether or not if you are in a frat, sorority, or just an individual, what are YOU doing to make you community better?? Think about it.

Happy New Years
I know, I know, I know.............
Happy New Years from me & my family. Been a good year so far, just started this year off running. So at work I have been getting stuff ready for 2012. Now involved w/ writing a grant to help out w/ my job & also getting ready to help out w/ another homeownership class for the month of January, I thought we wasnt gonna have a class in January, but there have been a few people want the class because they are about to close on some homes. Also helping w/ planning a Meet & Greet in February for our company & a few of the city officials.
So just reflecting on 2011, I know I have dealt w/ some losses, yet I notice that there have been some more structure on my life. Going from 2010 to 2011, all I really cared for was that I was getting a shot at moving to Tampa/St. Pete in January so I can fully start over, but things somehow fell apart & I had to deal w/ some stuff in Arkansas. During this year, I ended up losing 2 uncles (one on each side of the family), my great-grandmother, my cousin in a car wreck, and my grandmother that lived w/ me while I was in high school. But there somehow been a gain in our family; got to meet my grandfather for the first time in 10+ years, saw him in March for my great-grandmother's funeral. So me, my mom, & my sister been getting closer to him & his family (found out I also had 2 aunts I didnt know about) & we even got to go to Houston in August.
But also in work & in life, it seem like things are coming together. Now w/ my job, Im taking on more responsibilities, including handling more of educating customers & the develoment of our program. I even took on a 2nd job for a few months during the summer at a theme park to get me some extra dollars for Christmas. But just thinking about it, this is the first calendar year since 2000? that I have not step foot in Memphis an entire calendar year. I also saw what it means to have meaningful friends, somehow felt I was having a smaller circle of friends, yet they all are positive people. Now I thought I was not gonna be dating anymore, yet had some close calls where I might be near that time. I remember earlier this year when some girl 3 years older than me hit on me (Later found out that she was a mother & she had a bad rep w/ some people, basically looking for a guy to “save” her). I back to where Im social w/ females more & even talking to one over the phone everyday. But now I see that God want me to get back out there & make sure I make the right decisions. But with everything, just gotta pray for guidance.
My plans for 2012: Feed off the successes I had from the 2nd half of 2011 & create more structure in life & continue to learn to be that better man. Me & my mom are bumping heads less often yet I hope we get better w/ being around each other. I want to do more traveling in 2012, thought about going to London for the Olympics yet still have to get my passport. I also want to look into moving, my neighbor's son had me fix my resume, he spent about $600 just to fix his & he giving me pointers, so there are at least 150 new resumes hitting companies this week alone. Im also looking to buy a new gaming season, havent really had a working on since mid-August. But basically whatever God has for me, I'll be ready for it.
Deuces & holla at cha boi...............

You are NOT the father, yet you still gonna pay for it
So the other day, I was going over some Youtube videos and I came up on this one:
I really think this is a messed up situation, having the court make you pay for a child that not yours. 2 Things come to mind:
1) The women involved. Would a woman really want to take child support from a man that is NOT the father of the child in question?
2) The Biological Father. Where is this guy?? How would he feel about another man taking care of his child? Does he know he has a child with this woman?
But is this a way for the governing system to save money on public assistance? I know that a man has to be there to take care of his child, but have we been desperate enough in our country to where we will pin the responsibility on other men? Just some random thoughts………….

Over the Time
So I know I have been busy w/ some stuff. That last blog I did about the Homeowners Workshop, Im helping to do one this weekend, just now Im having my hand in more stuff.
Didn’t say much about Thanksgiving but it was interesting. In all, I think I went down to Texarkana a day too early. Or I should have stayed at a hotel. Got there Tuesday morning, I was moving furniture, helping cooking, & running errands. Mom & sis didn’t come down because of work & my sis wanted to spend the holiday w/ the boyfriend. So Wednesday morning, my aunt wanted me to go from sleeping on the bed to sleeping on the couch. I was on the bed Tuesday, then Wednesday, she changed the sheets & pillows so her daughter & her boyfriend could have the bed. Thursday was a good day, The Cowboys & Texas Longhorns both won that day, yet Friday went downhill. My aunt who wanted me to do all that stuff for her, left out early that morning & didn’t even wake me up to say goodbye. Me & my cousins watch Ark vs. LSU that day, only to see LSU blow out Ark. We had so many people in for Thanksgiving dinner Thursday night, we didn’t have any food leftover for the next night so we bought our own food. Also, we were supposed to have went to this club in Shreveport, yet we couldn’t because we didn’t have a designated driver. Everyone basically left on Saturday, so I left on Saturday. Overall, it was a cool feeling, but I still need to shake that feeling that Im getting treated differently from the others, like Im still being treated like a child even when I show that respect & have accomplished things in my life.
But back to my job, my sup was happy with what I did in the last presentation, so she has me doing more stuff. This weekend I had to redo the brochure for the presentation, also this week gonna be busy because people gonna want a slot for this presentation, especially those that want to become homeowners. Also today, Im having to look over some stuff to possibly submit a grant proposal for 2012. But the good thing is that I have deeper experience & if I really do stick in Ark for 2012, I’ll be fully in training to become a financial coach rather than just an assistant.
But let me leave you all w/ something for the start of the week:
