As we go through life we are forced to overcome struggles to make ourselves stronger, yet how can we prepare for the bumpy road of dating. I have had my fair share of dates and unfortunately the dating game is going to continue until one day I find that person that appreciates me for all I am. Yet before we find that person that will make us happy and put a smile on our face, we have to overcome those that we went crazy over, bailed out of jail, lent money that would never be seen again, go out of our way for someone that doesn’t appreciate the gratitude, having a date make out with your friend in the back of your car while on the date.
At one point in time I resembled that typical crazy person that would call all the time or cyber stalk, but it seems through out the years I have realized there is no reason to waste my time and energy over something I have no control over. I have to credit one person for this strength, it was a bumpy and awful dating realm with this individual but I slowly realized I was not respecting myself by continuing to believe something magical may occur. I fooled myself for a year wondering if I could change them but instead I decided to embark on an emotional roller coaster. It was a rough time but fortunately I have slowly overcome it.
All these bad dating experiences have made me realize I am fortunate to have good friends in my life to pick me up when I fall, dust off all those nasty dirty dates, and willing to shit on someone’s car when they do me wrong. I realized I don’t need to be worried about looking crazy because my friends are just as crazy.
I dedicate this blog to all the single ladies and men, because we have all come across douche bags in our life but here is a hint, they don’t like to be called a douche keep it simple and call them an ass or a f&^&*%. Continue to be strong and don’t worry about what we can’t control, just be yourself and prince charming will eventually cross paths with you.

Adulthood
As we get older we realize that life gets tougher. You graduate college and it seems you get lost in society. The pressure of succeeding and starting adulthood is never an easy task. Yet with the strengths of both family and friends those tough times prove to be a little easier. It seems 2009 has not been kind to many people I know at the moment, but the year will prove to provide special occasions and unforgettable moments for us all. I have recently realized I need to start challenging myself in every aspect of my life.
I noticed I have developed a routine of settling for what is in front of me. After college graduation I got a job and have stayed at home, fast forward 4 years I am still at the same job making a little more money but still live at home with my parents. I have settled because it has become easy, my job doesn’t challenge me in anyway. I’m bored with the job itself but my co-workers are one of a kind, my day is brightened because of the people I get to spend my day with at work. With that being said I have decided I am going to go back to school, I want to either get a bachelor degree is sports admission or get a masters in social work. I haven’t fully decided at the moment. I have always loved production work, but I also have a strong passion in sports and the community and I’m hopping I could possibly combine the two passions.
I have also decided it is time for me to move out of my parent’s home, I have never had a problem living with my family we strangely all get along with very few fights but it is time. For some reason I felt a lot of pressure of staying at home and saving money to buy a home, but I’m not sure if Houston is the city I want to settle in. I understand it is a perfect time to be purchase a home of my own but I don’t think buying a home would solve any of my problems I think it may add on to more problems.
Well that officially concludes my second blog. I hope you enjoyed this installment of Days of Our Lives.

Thumbs Up to Television
Recently I have been blog obsessed and reading several blogs. Reading about other peoples lives sound like soap opera the only difference is it’s a reality. Yet I recently read a blog that inspired me to write about my top favorite television shows sprinkled in with an honorable mention and a disappointment show of the season. So let’s get the list started:
Top Shows
1) Friday Night Lights – The other shows on this list are not listed in any particular order but this is truly my number one. Personally I believe it is one of the most realistic dramas on television, it features a low key cast with incredible performances by the entire ensemble. The Texas tradition of the high school football madness is not the main focus on this drama. It confuses me how people have not latched onto this show, the writing is brilliant, the relationships you build with the characters on this show reminds you of personal issues. I urge everyone to watch this master piece featured on television, the book was incredible, the movie received good reviews, but the show takes it to another level.
2) Rescue Me – Despite the drama being over the top and a little unrealistic the writing makes this a must see show. It provides the audience with drama and comedy; it is entertaining with a lot of craziness mixed into the show. It definitely deserves the respect it has received the past few years.
3) Damages – The first season of this riveting show provided intense drama for the audience. The cast delivers a stellar performance led by Glen Close. It’s an edge of your seat drama that takes the audience on a roller coaster ride and delivers another quality show for FX. I’m crossing my fingers the second season lives up to the high bar the first season has set.
4) Smallville – As this show starts to come to an end this season has shown why Superman is an American icon. The show has had its high and its low seasons but I must say I am proud that this series is starting to develop into the superman hero we all know about. It is corny but entertaining, the costumes can be a little over the top at times but the series is written well.
5) Brothers & Sisters – This show has delivered another brilliant season. This show reminds me of a fine wine, it gets better with age. Most shows seem to have a slump but I personally believe that each season is better than the previous. Sally Fields is the mother of a slightly dysfunctional but overwhelmingly familiar family. I believe most families can relate to this television family minus the millions of dollars of cash lying around, it seems their problems seem to be more real and emotional for the audience. It provides good drama with a little bit of Maury mixed in while trying to decide who is the newest addition to this emotionally close family.
Honorable Mention:
1) Lost – This show seems to have suffered a little bit of the wrath I tend to give Will Smith at times. It seems to be over-rated at times but I believe last season stepped its game back up to another level. As the end of this series approaches I believe this show will answer a lot of questions loyal viewers have stuck around for the passed couple of years. I give ABC a thumb’s up for being creative and providing more original programming than the same old crime shows CBS seems to be dishing out every year.
Disappointment:
1) Grey’s Anatomy – This show sky rocketed after the first season but the ongoing drama on the set mixed in with bad writing makes viewers hope the end to this show is near. One character is sleeping with a dead guy while the new residents are performing amateur surgeries on each other. I’m tired of hearing about this show and all the feuds. Take a hint from E.R. and retire Dr. Grey, although you may not have had the years ER has but you do have the recognition.
Hope you enjoyed this blog, please stay tuned for more to come.
