The End of One Journey....

...which path do I take now. While mentally I know that everything that I have accomplished in the past 17 years comes to a point this weekend, I feel that I have not fully grasped my impending end. Where is the wind gonna blow me from now?

At the beginning of my collegiate career I would not have said this, but now I can firmly say that I have been so blessed in the opportunities I have had, the people I have met and befriended, and the life I have been allowed to lead. Canoeing in Utah, Spring Break in Branson, Nights that are rembered because they arent remembered, summer in South Carolina, made and broken friendships, encounters of the night, and pictures worth way more than 1,000 words. It is now sad that I have to package the last 4 years of my life and shove it in the back of a car, discarding what doesnt fit, and move it cross country.

I have no problem crying over a Disney movie, but I cant muster the strength to shed a tear for this momentus occasion. This wouldnt be so bad if I didnt have a nagging fear I would never get to see some of these people again.Yes we can talk to each other online or the phone but it will never compare to hanging out.

There is so much for me to do over the next 2 days. Family comes in town for the first time in 4 years tonight and I will need to provide entertainment as well as perform my normal duties and say my goodbyes.

For now I will move on, but guarantee that my new found time will be used to constantly update people on my mental state, if for nobodys well being but my own.

Peace for now.

A Change this way comes...

for I am goin to make more of an effort to release my thoughts of the day on this. Yes I know this is the second time this year...wait, semester....I have made this commitment, and knowing me it prolly wont be the last. But alot does take place in my life and I really do need to get it out. For those of you who know me some of the information I put in here might not be on par with what you wish to read, but feel free to comment or censor as needed.

And so we get started

Today evidence arose to my attention that I am not quite over a certain crush I used to have. Though her current relationship status and location would make a deeper relationship with the two of impossible, it doesnt stop my mind from manufacturing it. While I will admit some of these manifestations are based purely on physical satisfaction, there are bigger things burried in there as well. Part of me wishes that we could actually have tried a relationship together, the other part knows what happened was for the best.

Dont know what the next chapter of my life is goin to bring but it is approaching ever so qucikly. With about two weeks to go to graduation and so many things that need to be done between now and then, its gonna be hectic. Not to mention all the friends that I will be forced to leave behind because I am moving 1100 miles from them.

Hopefully there is something positive in the stars for me. till then I am gonna drift through space and time.

Has it really been that damn long????

I got my first taste of the real world yesterday as I was suddenly motivated to start looking for and applying to jobs. applied to two with the USTA, thats the United States Tennis Association for those of you out there that dont know. One is an internship and one is a real job, either one would be nice, especially if I can meet Serena in the process. Even if I dont get to meet her during this job, maybe I can build a career from it and meet her someday before she leave the tennis community behind.

I know why college degrees used to be so valued and still hold good value in today's society, they like to make it as hard as possible for you to graduate without a little frustration. When I get that final ok, from my college you can bet that I will be celebrating big time, that doesnt mean I am gonna "get soooo wasted", it means that I will go out eat some good food, have a good drink and play tennis for a few hours, even if its indoors.

I am really missing you guys out there who have left me or or whom I have left in hopes of pursuing our dreams in life, hoopefully our paths will cross again someday and it will be like no time has passed. I want to travel alot when I graduate so if you dont care about worldly possesions or financial stability, drop your burdens and come travel with me. Dont make me do it alone!

Has faith found a place in my life, not quite sure, but I do know that I am alot more thankful these days for the little blessings that come my way, divine intervention or not!

Peace out everyone, dont be afraid to drop me a line, especially if you can point me in the direction of an intelligent, adventerous, humorus young lady of any color.

More Proof

Of my many talents. Today while sittin in my class bored stupid I was inspired to write down some thoughts. One is a poem the other a random thought....take ur pic and let me know what you think....

Would the world go on without me?
How would the grass continue to grow?
Could people survive without me?
Or am I to them the Sun?
Of course things would continue without me
And though I am just a minnow in this sea
Even minnows make waves
Even minnows fill somebody's needs
So I hope to show the world
All there is to me
That way I wont have to wonder
What were the possibilities
Though I do not plan on letting go
Death is inevitable to me
So I will swim far and fast
Make plenty of waves in the sea
I will return to my home one day
And marvel at all of the change
Despite the time we spent apart
My love will remain the same
We will share stories of sights and sounds
Maybe a few smells too
And get back to where we left off
Cause thats what friends and family do

  • Erect is part of erection, which sounds like direction, which in turn is close to direct. So are all erections headed in the right direction?????
  • If farts could were bottled and sold as fragrance, I would call mine "Le Grande Frijolles". What would yours be?
Well thats all for tonight folks. I guess this is also further proof that too much time on m hands can be a dangerous thing!

Thank God For the Internet...

Without it I think I would go crazy out here. These past couple days as I arrived back at school for the fall semester I thought about all the friends from previous years that have moved on that I wont get to see often anymore.

This is a shout out to my moved on Commrades out there...

K. Goff, Imma miss talkin to you about everything; politics, people, religion, family, everything. Laughing with you. Hanging out with you. I am super glad we became as good of friends as we did.

Jake. I know Boy is here and we will have fun this semester, but the trio is incomplete. Last Year was great especially after we were all 21. Spring Break. Weekend Bars. Karaoke. Where will I find someone that completely understands my sense of humor.

Wendi. I know we didnt hang out often, but its 4 years of respect between us and imma miss the flirtation and the occasional hug. I can still kick your ass at tennis.

Brad Tiff and Lindey. You were a great HD Friend and puppy buddy. You all accepted who I was and encouraged me at the same time. We became friends hung out told stories and still keep in touch.

I dont want to come off as overly emotional but somethings have happened today that made me realize how much I valued the experiences I had last year and the people I was fortunate enough to share them with. What will the future hold for us? How will we survive the distance that inevitably will come between us?

My hope is that in the little time I have left in my collegiate career I dont spend it comparin it to the times that are past. That I am given the strength to see these new relationships to what they could become and not against what I no longer have.

Earlier I mentioned there were activities that caused me to reach this state. Today in trainin we were asked to complete an exercise on fear. This got me to thinkin about what kind of things I feared, and that my feelings and thoughts with people I dont know well was a fear of mine. This inevitably led me to be unable to share this information with my staff. I dont know how I can get past this point to open up more, but I hope to grow from this. I also came to the conclusion that I use sarcasm as a barrier/shield to prevent me from being too open. I am sarcastic but sometimes its extreme.

I need a really big hug. Anyone out there?

45 Hours...

Till I hit the road. Thats right friends and strangers, Sunday mornin at 7am I am hittin the road for Indy. 12 hours of beautiful scenerey and my music. Bathroom breaks will only be had when getting gas; fast food will be consumed in mass quantities; bad drivers will be ignored/avoided; bliss will be achieved.

I am going to get a camera so that I can photo document the journey and if inspired might visit some landmarks along the way. Those who believe in the power of prayer, say a few for me that I arrive at my destinations safely and without loss. While ur at it pray for my dad to who is flippin out as usual because he is paranoid.

Dont know what I will do once I get to Indy, but I am sure there is some kind of trouble I can get into, Maybe a few movies I can watch that I acquired via various methods.

Despite the roomate problems this has been one of the best summers ever! I met some people that I will try to keep in touch with forever and partyed alot! The pictures will be with me forever, or until my computer, iPod, and Facebook crash.

Mis amigos. No puedo esperar para ver cada uno. Novembre para mi cumpleanos en AC, NJ. ¿quién está viniendo?

Not All People Suck...Just The Jamaicans I Know

So Apparently I was slightly out of line in my last entry when I lambasted all people because of a few bastards that I have been forced to deal with on a regular basis this summer. Let me make a letter to the editor and note that the number of cool people and fun things I have done this summer far outweigh the opposite.

My Job at the Village @ Palmetto Dunes has been a great experience with overall great guests, great staff and great location. I hope to come back and visit them soon, maybe even get a job here come the fall. Which wouldnt be that bad for a temporary gig to build up some money.

My newest revelation: travel the world as a bartender or activities director (read: glorified babysitter) and have fun with jobs that require little to no major responsibility for a few years. This way I can brush up on my spanish (I work on everyday now thanks to the guys at the resort), meet lots of people, worry little about money and possesions, give to those in need, and take lots of pictures!!!!

As you may have guessed today has been a good day. Temps were less than 90 our A/C is workin in our apt again, and we werent super busy at the pool. Dont get me wrong I love activity but I cant stand them sometimes.

Sad to say this summer I have become more of an alcoholic than I should be. While I still have not reached "Tim" levels, I realize come fall and graduation imma have to slow my roll. No offense to any of you who enjoy drinkin'. I do too, but I am gettin grown and bein retarded drunk aint funny if your doin it every week.

I miss you peeps, havent seen you in awhile and cant wait for some long overdue reunions. Back in Iowa the first weekend in Aug. Back in DC not till Thanksgiving so us peeps gonna have to party like its 1999. (plus I will be 22...Ne One up for AC, NJ again? or for the first time?)

Peace out peeps!!!!

I FUCKIN HATE PEOPLE

Just in case there is some misunderstanding, I FUCKIN HATE PEOPLE. Now those of you who know me know I dont hate all people, only certain people or certain types. Like stupid people, or spoiled people, or annoying people (I know ironic isnt it). What I have come to discover is that I also hate inconsiderate people.

Now you shouldve know I was going somewhere with this and not just rambling. I try to always have a prupose on here. Mostly to vent, but sometimes to put the truth out there, no matter how much of an asshole that makes me.

So on with the story... O thats right I was talkin about inconsiderate people. Where should I start. How about with the most fuckin inconsiderate person I have met of late. KIRK!!!! If you read my blog u know who Kirk is and I am not wastin any more time fuckin tellin u about him, but I will elaborate.

This ass fuck leaves dirty ass dishes on the counter after he uses them so that other people can clean that shit up. He uses my fuckin mouthwash cause its in the bathroom. ( you dont fuckin share mouthwash unless u married or fuckin, and we aint either). And to top it off he leaves the apt when no one is there and leaves the door wide open "no one was gonna come in" how the fuck u know Ms. Cleeo. You aint got shit worth stealin. You wear the same damn two pair of underwear, if they steal that shit they got issues.

For the grace of God I havent flipped out on the asswipe yet. He is not helpin to paint a pretty picture for Jamaicans, well him and ghetto rude Jaimcan friends.

I think I feel better now, so I will stop venting have a good 4th yall...hopefully I wont have to vent before then...P.S. I think I have discovered a way to ignore the little bastards at work, more on that later!

At least parents known their kids are bastards...

Well I do have some good news to report...this week I have made over $30 in tips. Thats right, I did not stutter. These parents tipped me for my services this week. They finally realize the hell I go through dealin with their little badass children and have compensated me accordingly. So now I can afford to put my clothes in the cleaner and buy alcohol...YAY!!!

Same problems as always with my goddamn cheap as trifilin roomate. Just so you know the one I have the biggest problem with is Kirk. I think if he were in Jamaica they would call him a 'bloodclot'. I can not stress how much this dude pisses me off. The details of how I detest him are not worth the cyberspace they would consume.

O, Yeah Those Damn Spoiled Kids!

And HOW could I forget the "Holy Rollers"?!?!?!

So in my state of venting about my frustrating roommates I forgot to mention why I have rediscovered my hatred for spoiled kids and the group I grew to detest in the past whom I like to call "Holy Rollers". The latter group I will explain in more detail later.

Now, I will be fair and say that all kids are spoiled to some degree, including myself, but we all know the little bastards of whom I speak. The minute they enter the vacinity you can feel the bratiness eminating from them. These are the little munchkins that cry on cue, beat their parents and go so far as to make decisions despite the fact the parents could easily beat they little asses.

So here is the story of how I rediscovered my hatred for them while working this week. As we all know there are certain places that are magnets for spoiled brats (ice cream or candy stores, toy stores, and unfourtunatley for me pool decks, but in general it usually has to do with money.)

Well on Monday when I arrive for work there is no sign of the little bastards which makes me to believe it will be a good week of work. Ah, was I fooled; as I should have know, just as the freaks come out at night, the brats come out at noon. These little bastards came out of the wood work like I had never seen.

First this family of four children arrives @ the pool mother in tow, aside from their loud obnoxious behaviour which is sometimes forgivable in children my first indication that they were going to be trouble was when the mother, tryin to get control of them, threatened to "tell na-na". WTF!!!! Now an of you who half know me know what I was thinkin: "lady they ur damn badass kids and you gotta threaten them with ur mama, aint that some bullshit!"

Now needless to say and I dont mean to offend any of my friends but we all know these werent no "lil nigglets" (as I sometimes like to call them). (HAHAHA; sorry Crystal) Our mother would've beat our ass, especially since we was doin that shit in public.

All week long "Na-Na" was the controlling force to this little brood from hell. You would think if the woman and her husband, who was smart and left early in the week "to go back to work" (in my opinion he was prolly tryin to get some real peace away from these devil spawn that he couldnt get on vacation), couldnt control the first couple of little bastards they wouldve at least used the pull-out method!

Thankfully I met Na-Na and now I know why the threat works well. Na-Na got some sense in her head. I saw her pop one of the kids when they was actin out and not even flinch when they started to cry. There is a God and He is GOOD!

And while on the subject of God, lets move on to the Holy Rollers! While I will admit that I have recently come to find God and am very greatful for this introduction, this group still pisses me off to no end. Even those of you with faith will agree with me on this one. These mother fudgers are gettin married at 23, havin kids and bringin the bible and their guitar to the pool. Now dont jump on my case yet, but honestly who brings a bible to the pool to read like its the newest Stephen King novel.

Now they arent the worst case; the worst ones are the ones that go spreading the message while you are mindin ur business. Like the random dude who came up to me in a rest stop on the OH turnpike on my way home and asked me if I knew where I was goin when I died, While I was orderin BK no less. Once again WTF?!?!?! I was so tempted to say "Yes, I am going to dance with the devil on his glorious firey throne before we wage war on God and the Angels!" (with firey passion in my eyes and conviction in my voice of course) despite my new belief to the contrary, just so he would leave me the fuck alone, but God did prevail and I just said "yes" and moved on.

Uhh so much has been said that even I need a reprieve from my own thoughts...thats it for now.

Peace

A great internship and the spoiled kids and annoying rommates it comes with

I Got Me A Good Internship

So I started workin full time at my resort this week, which means i work 10-5pm Mon and 9-5pm Tues-Fri. Its a great internship so far, but..... There are four of us in the apt, 2 per room. 2 are from Jamaica, 1 from the Phillipines and then me from "one flew over the coockoo's nest".

There are so many stories to tell but writin it on the internet does no justice. My roomate eats like a fuckin horse but dont want to buy shit always eatin other peoples shit.."o we share food in this house". 2 of them are border line alcoholics as long as they aint buyin the alcohol. the last one is more dramatic than a spanish soap opera. The 2 jamaicans are always fuckin sleepin on the damn couch like they dont know what the fuck a bed is. and the 2 alcoholics dont wanna clean the fuck up after themeselves in the kitchen like they fuckin want roaches runnin around in this bitch....enough venting for now...if u wanna talk and hear more detail give me a ring

The Story of the Phantom Uterus and The Watermelon Seed

I was sitting aroun tonight talkin to my friend Jake and have finally worked up the courage to tell my most secret of stories....as you can tell by the journal entry it invloves a phantom uterus and a watermelon seed...read on its great work, Pulitzer Prize worthy if u ask me!

The Story of the Phantom Uterus and The Watermelon Seed© By Dominique Lipscomb

See I was born with an inexplicable uterus in my stomach cavity...none of the doctors could understand since I had all the male genitalia and just this "Phantom Uterus". My parents decided it wasnt worth the cost to have it removed when I was young since all the experts said "it poses no threat to his health and he will develop like a normal boy.(Thats only cause they didn't know I was gonna be dropped on my head and eat paint chips as a child).

Well all went fine until I turned 11 and started having internal bruising for no reason at all. I would wake up about once a month with bruises in my abdominal cavity. So my parents took me to the doctor and they found out that for some odd reason my floating uterus was menstruating. It was at this point the doctors said it was prolly best if I got it removed to prevent this from continuing, but my parents being too cheap decided I could "live with the bruising, it would make me stronger after all."

I went another two years before anymore new problems just the internal bruising once a month, which i had become a pro at masking with make up at this point or saying i got it from the previous nights Fight Club. Then one day I started gaining weight for no reason and i was havin all these weird moods and cravings so they took me to the doctor and and found out that a watermelon seed had implanted itself in my uterus and was growing. I was gonna be a proud parent! Well proud till I found out that I would have to pass it through my urethra cause insurance wouldnt pay for a c-section of a watermelon! That was when I said "fuck this...get this damn uterus outta me."

And thats how I had an abortion and a hysterectomy all in one. Come to think of it, it was one damn good watermelon....I guess that makes me a cannibal!



Hope You all enjoyed the story..have a great night. Please leave comments, it took alot of courage for me to tell this story, I would love to know what you thought about my ordeal and if you have any similar stories out there.

Being Bored on the Weekend Isnt Always Bad

It's the weekend and I am sittin in my room pretty bored; when the weather is nice but the pollen is high, being bored indoors isnt so bad. Why cant trees just be like normal objects and have physical sex so we didnt have to be covered in its "love juice"? As a homage to this my weird sexual dance, my entry is in these weird colors; green for spring and yellow for tree sperm. Remember that next time someone ask "have u ever been covered in sperm?" you can't say no unless you live in bubble!

I still got projects to work on and yes my computer is being retarded, but all in all this weekend is off to a fairly good start. If i am lucky I will get to play some tennis after watching it and be able to play some tournaments by the end of the summer. Still need to work on that second serve and net game, but baby steps.

Unfourtunately I do need to break some news to my parents that I kinda lied to them and that won't be any fun but I think I wil get through it without dying. The lie is complicated and not worth sharing, but I am working on that whole honor thy mother and father thing, though I would prefer to remain the prodigal son (you would understand what I meant if you knew my brother).

I dont like this whole living on credit thing. Being broke is no fun either though. Once again, I cant wait till I have disposable income.

Back and Blacker Than I Been In A While

Wassup peeps

Thats right I am back in town from my second spring break of the year, and though I do believe the first one was far more memorable than the second, they were both great. I learned some interesting thing during my "spring break" in Tempe, Arizona at the racquetball intercollegiate nationals.

1. I am good enough at racquetball to win a medal, but sucky enough to get my ass kicked by scary lookin women.
2. No matter how much I try to educate my white compatriots about black people they are still goin to make sweeping generalizations that will feel sorry for them.
3. I can become angry when agitated while intoxicated and attempt to stab people with a corckscrew.
4. Arizona is a great place to live from October through April
5. I could date a woman much older than myself and bone her too!!!!

I know I am stupid, crazy and weird, but tell me something I dont know.... Like what is the price of two dozen ostrich eggs in Zimbabwe? I am writing this in my MKT340 class because my prof droans on about nothin forever. No time to do it otherwise, I got a crapload of work to make up do to my second vacation. Signin off for now...
Holla Back

Back form Break w/ A New Lease on Life

I am back from Spring Break and it was the best time EVER!!!!! Thanks to my Grandma I and several other friends had the fourtune of spending ~$150 on a Spring Break that will be remembered.

In This section I would like to credit a few things with attempts to take my life in the order that they occured:
1st: I would like to credit mother nature with a valiant effort to get me killed by touching tornados down in the area on the first night, including less than 5 miles away.
2nd: I would like to credit the porcelain dish that broke in the black out darkness and proceeded to slice my finger open and proceed to bleed all over the place in my somewhat intoxicated stupor.
3rd: Last but far from least, I would like to credit a Mr. Leandro F. for trying to get me and my fellow car mates lost and therefore killed on our road trip to Fayettville, Arkansas. (I was in arkansas, and like George Bush they dont like black people)

But alas I am ok and Pumped to be headin to Phoenix next week for another week of celebratin and Racquetball of course. Sun & Fun!!!! I cant Wait.

I Have Been Made Whole

There are those of you out there who will wonder what has come upon me in these last few days. I have not been my usual always perky self. Well I aint puttin all my business out here in space but I do have good news to bring.

Recent events have caused me to reevaluate things in my life and I have decided to accept Christ as my saviour. Now dont go gettin all worried about me. Yes this means somethins in my life must change, but for the most part I will still be me. The Domo most of you have grown to know and love. Alas I have a new perspective and after truly reading the bible, I can understand why Christians are happy people. Does this excessive happiness flaunted in my face still annoy me? Yes! But do I hate them for it? No.

I am learning to pray and be thankful for things, and I am still not that great about prayer groups or worshiping together, just trying to build that personal relationship right now. So for now keep me in your prayers if you pray and I will work you into mine.

Have a great Day.....SPRING BREAK IS NEAR!!!!!!

March 6, 2006 - 2:45pm

Yesterday was the begining of the Highs and lows I inevitably will experience for the next couple weeks. Good news compounded by bad news. Somethings I will share and others I will keep to myself, but it does help putting things out here in cyberspace.

The week begins with anticipation fo the fun that is to be had at Spring Break with a group of great friends. There will be lots of craziness and pictures, so wait for the proof. Intercollegiates is coming up and I am pumped about going there and enjoying the warm weather and sun but it is not without costs.

I had intramurals yesterday and a tourney on Fri and Sat. I played ok,but not good enough to win. It is so frustrating to enjoy a sport butnot be good enough to win anything.

Preparing for the two trips is very frustrating. Yes I am grateful that I have the chance to go on the two trips, but I have lots of work that needs to be done before hand and not nearly enough time to do the things that I would like to do also. I should put my car in the shop and get one of my brake lights fixed. But I am teetering on the edge of brokness.

On top of that I stumbled upon some news yesterday that has me saddened and further frustrated with people and my own stupid decisions in life. No I am not dying and as always there is a silver-lining but this is proof that the heavenly being is testing me. Unfourtunately I may no longer be able to live the life that I was hoping to. And as always just hope the ramifications are to far spreading. Being the center of attention is only good when people love you.

Now I will go sleep and pass some wishes on to those up above. I need the rest and hopefully it will ease my state of mind. Maybe someday I will tell all, but till then hope this has given you a tiny insight to what is going on with me.

A New Commitment

I am newly commited to updating this page on a much more regular basis, yes it is time consuming and probably pointless since there isnt much most of you dont know about my goings on anyways, but apparently some people need things to occupy their day and facebook isnt enough.

The best news of recent is that I am going to Branson, MO for Spring Break with 6 other people. It is going to be a fun time in So. MO as we act a fool and relax in the process.

The "God Hates Me" news of recent is that I was in the right state for the wining ticket but I was in the wrong city by a damn hour or less. Why couldnt the wining $365 Million Ticket been mine?!?!?! Cause "God Hates Me"

What some of you might find to be severely amusing is I accidentally food poisioned myself this weekend and spent Sunday night throwing up in my trash can after bingeing on a variety of junk food. I thought a had a stomach of steal and here I am barfing from junk food.

I cant wait for the warm temps and lots of sun to come back so that I can get back out on the tennis courts I have grown to love so much, not to mention that the French Open is in May followed by Wimbeldon in June, I hope the internship I got in HHI, SC doesnt interfere with my viewing capablities

And yes I am going to put these stupid smilies after every paragraph just so that you can have a visual of what I was feeling as I typed it, in case u were clueless as to the mood of Me.
