Dreams About Derek (mini-comic) coming to a close

I am so excited about this news. After all the blood, sweat, and tears I have shed over this project it it just about 25% finished. LOL! Which means that at least the Ash-Can (mini-comic) is being bubbled as we speak. Ready to put onto the internet to let the world know who Derek is. I am very excited about it.

As far as the book goes we are in the early stages of sketching the thumbnails and ya know it's just going to take time. Because my great Malcolm Williams is doing this part alone from the sketching to the inking and it is a process. But I have to give this man praise. He's showed me that illustrators work hard and long hours and I appreciate them so much more. Thanks to all illustrators.

Please expect the mini-comic to be on the website next week. I cannot wait for yuour comments or suggestions. Thank you~ Peace!

Been So Long and Weight Loss

Hello ya'll sorry that I have been M.I.A.. I have been traveling, working on Derek and trying to get some kind of funds because I am tired of having set backs because of money. Anywho....

Welp I got on a scale this year and I am amazed about how much I weigh. You know those stupid weight loss infomercials that have the people talking about they don't know how they got so big, welp I am one of them. I sat and cried because I have never been this size and it was because of my depression which seemed slow but when I finally got out of it the weight was a parting gift and a reminder of the bad relationshit. I hate it, all of it is in my mid section thighs and ass. I am not going to tell you how much I weight but this year I have to weigh 50 pounds less than I weight now which will put me under my original weight. now if I can get back to my original weight I'll be just fine. But right now this is not doing it at all. How I noticed things were getting worse for me is that I have back problems. My back hurts all the time from walking and it's not because I am that fat it is because my bones aren't used to this and I am off balance...........ok I am fat. Lol! Luckily I am doing something about it I have been working out for the last month and a half and I tell ya I am losing but going slow. You know what sucks the most is that you can gain weight fast as hell, but losing it takes you months shit years WTF?

Okie Dokie!

When "Old" Comes

When I say "when old comes" what I mean is the people that were once a significant part in your life that like to come back because they can see your potential success. Maybe they didn't see the potential in you before, but now since you have changed your life, they come back especially when the see the progress.

Ever since I was a little girl I have always wanted more. It was something that was going to happen when I felt the need to do it. Yes, I partied when I was in my late teens and all of my 20's but now things are different and I want MORE. I am striving on getting more and I am gonna let my bad grammar pave the way to my success. LOL!

But what I am talking about ladies and gents are old boyfriends and girlfriends. You know the ones that you used to cry over all the time, spent many of nights talking to your friends about them and pawning about any lil good thing that they have done and ignoring most of the bad things that they have put you through. The ones that broke your heart to pieces. But now since you have the right person in your life and someone who supports you and because your passionate about your life.... somehow they want in.

In the last week since my sister has been here visiting I have seen a couple of boyfriends that at the time didn't take me serious at all and now since I have been writing they have came out of their way just to tell me how proud they are of me, compliment my relationship and then on the sly say something to keep the convo going. I really don't like it what so ever and maybe I am still raw about it. I have always seen myself as a successful person even through the trails and tribulations of my life. I knew where I was going, where I wanted to be. I just decided to live a lil before I made any real decisions in my life.

I would always talk about the things that I have wanted with the old ones and just because they didn't see it, I saw it and that's all that matters. But what I didn't like was they didn't pay attention. When you are with someone you do want them to pay attention to you and what you think and believe even if they don't they can listen to you. My dreams were always big and I knew that I would do whatever it takes to be successful but I like to take my time. At this moment in my life I have the perfect person who understands who I am and I understand him and it's a great feeling when someone believes in what you do. (Thank you Mal)

The whole point of this post was just to get something off of my chest. But I am truly a lucky girl to have someone who is awesome to me and sees me and accepts me for who I am.

KICK ASS ---- Kicks Ass!

I loved it. Although it was a tad bit violent but if you read the graphic novel you would expected it to be violent. I liked it and it was fun. I wouldn't let kids see it unless they were 16 and older. Because of it's violent content I think younger children wouldn't know how to react.

Nicholas Cage did a wonderful job in the movie and not over playing the part. Like most Nicholas Cage movies you hear the gruff and this time it was without the gruff. The main character KICK-ASS aka Dave Lizewski (Aaron Johnson) just a cutey pie and played the part well. He got into the character and showed us the human side of KICK-ASS now let's make sure that he knows how to fight so he won't get his ASS-KICKED anymore. LOL!

The best of all was HIT GIRL and she was HITTING. That lil girl was nothing to be reckoned with and she had no regards in killing people. Which was weird but that's the movies for you. Pretty much entertaining to the fullest. Discretion is advised in this movie.

SPRING SUMMER

I feel that this is going to be a very hot summer this year. It's skipping spring already and I have yet to get my backyard together. That really needs to happen this week if I am wanting to enjoy being out there.

So my birthday is this Sunday and I am so excited about celebrating it the way that I want to. LOW KEY. I went to Branch Brook Park in Newark, NJ to see the Cherry Blossoms and they were completely beautiful. I had so much fun but I ended up baking in the sun it was so hot. Here are pics that I took. Enjoy!

So I got called a "Nigger"

So a big Russian guy comes in my job and calls me a "Nigger" because no one was available for a massage. I already knew what he was looking for...a hand job and when I told him I do not have anyone available he proceeds to yell and tells me that I am racist because he's a Russian and I am a "Nigger".

This is one of those times where I went off but before I did I went outside of my body just to make sure I was seeing this clearly. I was sitting down at the desk. He must have thought that I was short because when I stood up I was looking him in the eye. (He wasn't expecting that).

I told him to get out shooed him out the door. I shouldn't get this upset about it but I was. Just makes me aware of how much racism and ignorance is still out there. I am pretty sure he thinks Obama has something do to with me telling him no. Lol!

I cannot lie and say that it didn't sting because it did. The only reason why I cried is because I was at work and I couldn't hit him. The last time some white man called me a "Nigger" I made sure he would never step to any black women and say that shit again. But then I wonder; This is the 3rd time in my life where a white male has called me that.... do I look that vulnerable? Hmmm...
