Dear Friends,
Family- denotes a group of people or animals (many species form the equivalent of a human family wherein the adults care for the young) affiliated by consanguinity, affinity or co-residence. Although the concept of consanguinity originally referred to relations by "blood", anthropologists[who?] have argued that one must understand the idea of "blood" metaphorically and that many societies understand family through other concepts rather than through genetic distance.
That’s a long and wordy definition of family. However, in my life this is not true. My mother told me if I want to have siblings, I need to adopt. So in my 31 years, I have adopted people as my family. I have probably done this before but this is a new year and new rules. For the exception of having an adoptive father, I have adopted mothers, brothers, and sisters. With all families, we have our differences but we also have our moments. Most of my adoptive family is up around Flint MI except for my sisters which they are scattered. So as I continue to enlighten myself, I hope to extend my adoptive family.

2010: Am I A Writer?
Dear Friends,
Last night, I was watching the movie Julie and Julia. As I was watching this, I was thinking if I consider myself a writer. I am a storyteller. I am a computer nerd. However, I have never been called at writer. I have been writing since 1993. My earlier journal entries were on lined paper. My entries were filled with rage and nonsense. From 1993 to 1996, I sounded like a teen living in Detroit, MI. In 1996, when I went to University of Detroit Mercy, that’s when I really wrote my feelings and my dreams. I was writing in journal books. From 1996 to 2002, I have three volumes of journal entries. More of my hard living was from that time period. Anyways, as I was watching this movie, I questioned if I was a writer or not. According to the movie, a writer is not a writer until they are published. I feel like my life would be a good read but my epic based off my life would be better. Tyler Perry basically started the trend of using your life as a base to make plays and movies.
So am I a writer? Not yet because I would need to get a publisher or even an agent. I would need to also write more. I am a blogger. As starting February 1st, I will be doing more blogs aside from my wild and crazy life. Starting in April, I will also have a blog of my adventures in vending. Just like the movie, I plan on keep my goals and these things are set in stone. More to come.

2010: Party Like It's 1999
Dear Friends,
If you know me, you know I am riddled with a lot of past acts and acts of my parents. Recently, I have started to retrace my steps as to what I did right in my life and what I fucked up on. My early blog about my first love was the catalyst for all this. 2010 is the year to correct and fix. I finally made peace with my high school sweetheart. We recently talked and it was made clear to me that for reason out of our control, we had to break up. Now that I fixed that road in my life, time to really get into the meat of my past. Next stop, 1999. Now I had a journal and wrote about my life back then. I was going through at during that time. I was attending University of Detroit Mercy. I was dealing with depression. My life was wild back then. So in August 1999, I was going to turn 21. I wanted more in my life. One thing I wanted do finally do was to have sex with my college sweetheart. At the time, we were in love and wanted to be together. Now at the time, I was working and had a friend I met at work. For the blog, my college sweetheart’s name is Gigi and this friend I speak of is named MM. Now during the day, I was with MM but on the weekends, it is Gigi’s time. However, what happened on 8/20/1999 changed my life. Basically, instead of having sex with Gigi, I got drunk and had sex with MM. You would think, I would feel guilty about this but I do not. That’s because the event open my eyes. What I am about to tell you is the part most people don’t know. That part is:
On 8/19/1999, I decided to make changes in my life. Normally, I hate to make these changes but since I was going to be 21, I wanted to. When I decided to hang out with MM, it was the start of a ride that I am still on. That night, my life changed because not only did I have sex with someone else but it was because a new person was created.
Since that change, I dumped Gigi to be with MM. I later found out that Gigi was messing around on me. So when I heard that, it made my changes easier and painless. Now unlike Shelly, my high school sweetheart, Gigi does not want to talk to me (That’s because of the events that occurred on 8/20/1999 in which Gigi made a fool of herself). That part of my life will never be closed. However, I have decided to move on just so that I can at least remember and laugh about it. So as I continue with my journey to fix my life and finally get my shit together, I learned that most people will forgive but never forgot what happened while dealing with me. More to come.
