December To Remember: Last Blog of 2011

Dear Friends,

After careful thought and just reflecting on things, I was going to write about all the events that occurred in 2011. After writing all the positive things I did this year, I decided to use this blog for something else. I mean why I should reflect on the bad things. You know what happened to me after graduation. You know I lost 30 days this year because of child support and the crazy county of Sanilac. You know I was in two relations and one ended horribly and one ended too soon. So rather to go through that shit all over again and for me to cry over dumb mistakes, I will use this blog for something creative and positive. I guess I will just let this last blog for 2011 to be a mix of rants, raves, mistakes I did and what to avoid for 2012.

One thing I plan on doing in the New Year is become a mentor. I want to do this because there are a lot of kids that are so ignorant and need someone to guide them to do the right thing and not be so fucking ignorant. Today, I heard this white kid use the n word. What’s funny is that I walked by them as he said it like four times. Even the other kids were looking at me because they were expecting me to kill the kid. I will leave that to his parents but if that was my adopted kid or my little brother, he would have got his mouth popped.

Another thing I want to do to tutor people. I might not have the patience to teach kids or groups but I can do one on one for people who want to learn. I miss doing this because like I said about mentoring, too many people are ignorant these days. I love to teach one on one because there is not a lot of room for error and mistakes. Either you get it or you don’t. That’s life!

One thing I will avoid in 2012 is being in love. This is my year to heal and get my life right. I have been in and out of relationships since 2001. After ten years, it is time to change my ways and focus on my life. Something I said in June is my motto for 2012: HOPE to DEFY……

I made a huge mistake by getting back with my ex in Monroe. I say this because of the damage that happened in May. I know I said, I was not going to talk about this but I will avoid this from occurring in the future.

I guess my final comment of 2011 is that regardless of the shit I went through or the happiness that I had in my life, I can say that I am better. 2011 might have been both the most depressing and uplifting time of my life. I am not looking to plan for 2012 because I know that I have to get better because most of the year, I was down and almost out. So with that said, Happy New Year and see you in 2012 because there will be more blogs but more projects as well.
