4 Letters can encompass so much...

Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. Love does not demand its own way. Love is not irritable, and it keeps no record of when it has been wronged. It is never glad about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. Love will last forever, but prophecy and speaking in unknown languages[fn3] and special knowledge will all disappear.

ReViEw: LupeFiasco_LupeFiasco'sTheCool....

The highly anticipated (at least by me and a few of my friends...lol) Lupe Fiasco's The Cool has finally hit the shelves and here is my take on the new album. Just on the beats alone the album sounds like a crossover album. It sounds really rockish...but i'm diggin it so far. I like the lyrics to Put You Game On i definitely felt there was some substance to what he was saying in the song especially to reference to our ancestry. Another song for your listening ears is Dumb It Down. Its interesting that he put this on the record because that's probably what everyone is telling him to do. I like that he doesn't do that and just let his creativity and his thoughts guides his music. So that's what's up I like this album...something new...really creative....A+ form Diana!!! =)

New Year....

I'm just realizing that people change...not really just realizing that but it just hit me on a personal level. You know how your moms tell you not to play with the stove but until you get burned you truly don't understand how much it hurts. My aunt told me the other day she was quoting Maya Angelou "if someone shows you who they are believe them." Sometimes you want to believe the best in people. You only want to see the positive in them but the truth is they are who they are. So this year I plan to see people for who they because I can't change them and be more careful about who I let in my inner circle. I just like to say that over all "07" was a good year there were some ups as well as downs but I an appreciate them all because from them a lesson was learned! I like to thank God for being good to me and for another year!

Welcome to Oakland B%@#$!!!!!!

I'm back like cooked cRaCkEd...GET IT...LOL....Soooo i missed you guys!!! I'm definitely going to start have to write on here on the regular foreal b/c my life is just straight comedy!!! First of all i'm just tripping on how i'm a player but at the same time i'm getting played....not in a big way don't mistake....lol...but i will save that for another blog another day!!! I'm in Oakland, California and I definitely don't want to leave...my cousins Erin, Maxine, Reggie, Solomon, and Malchai and they are hilarious and frankly i just don't want to leave. Anyway I have been going on a tour of San Fran and Oakland and there is a huge population of Asians here...and its just funny as hell. As i'm riding in the car i don't see a black dude (not that i have seen that many at all) and a white woman but a black dude and an asian woman and its just funny as hell...don't care if your offended...lol! But yeah it's mad chill out here and that's the way life should be. They have flea markets that are better than some malls. Although i was kinda pissed that on the plane ride over here all they served on the flight was organic ish...so i asked for the chocolate chip cookies and they made sick....i was like damn we don't have an alternative we just have organic...what if i was allergic...yall just don't care. But check this out...it was cultural SHOCK...going on to Berkeley aka Cal's campus...because i'm a product of an HBCU it was funny as hell because there were no black ppl and if they were they definitely blended in but alot of these ppl looked mad dirty....i don't know if it was because its finals time or what...but that was just my observation! But the way they dresses at least some of them was cool with me b/c you know how i do....hoodie and jeans....but yea i'm out b/c i'm still here and need to enjoy myself...HOLLA!!!!!

Crazy Ness

The world is going crazy people just not acting right. "Dog" thinks he's black and that he can say the 'n' word. Now I just don't believe that it was his first time saying that. It rolled of his lips so comfortably. He didn't get a real punishment for that. What would be a punishment suitable for his actions though? Who would be the judge? Then we have this terrible crisis and Oprah's school in South Africa. What in the hell is wrong with people I could break my neck everytime I turn my neck to hear this craziness on the news. People are dying everyday and not to say the end is near but we need some type of reform. We as a people and black as a race need to become more involved in our communities. Not just the local community but the international community. Our other black brothers and sisters need us...Sudan, Dafur, the Congo, Brazil, etc. If you would just take a moment of your time and google any of these places you would know that we need to come together. What are some of things that we can do? I know that i'm taking a stretch talking about the people abroad but we need it there as well as at home!!!!

Thoughts @ 12:15am on Sunday Morning

You know how you know that you know that your supposed to do something and you don't do it anyway or you just hella procrastinate. Well i'm more on both right about now. I'm supposed to go to church later on this morning but I'm probably not. And the fact that have two papers due next week and I haven't started on either. Also that I have been holding back a lot of feelings from a lot of people and i just want to scream out about what's inside of me. Now what's stopping me from going to church tomorrow or starting on my papers or telling these people how I feel. Nothing or anyone but myself. I have been feeling like I should keep a lot to myself these days because I just don't want to bother anybody and then I realized that I could just talk to God. He's never sick of hearing what I have to say or anything and he's always there. But I never could grasp that and still kind of don't but I'm trying. I'm just feeling like I can't be the only one that wants somebody there in the physical that you could just pour out to and not feel stupid, regretful, or anything like that after you spilled your guts. And the crazy thing is I think I have one or two persons like that but in the back of my mind i'm like why did I just say that. Why did I have to become so transparent now I'm feeling like a complete ass. I'm thinking life just has to get better now it really does. I'm just waiting on they nex train

TrApPeD

I feel very much trapped. I'm not sure what to do about it yet. I kind of feel like there is nothing that I can do about it, just unhappy right now. Ummm it's kind of hard to go in detail about why i'm feeling trapped because after all this is the internet. Any of my readers....if any...lol...every felt stuck or trapped in a place what did you do about it???
