Love and Marriage
This past weekend I was in radford to see my friend get married. Her and I have been friends since freshman year, we're both in Mu Phi and we were room mates our last year in school. Its really interesting to see a person i guess you can say go from one phase into another, its what scientist call 'growing up', I should try that. Anyways it was a beautuful ceremony you can tell they really loved each other, ive been to a few weddings and sometimes you really can't tell, sure they're happy in the moment, but being happy with each other is whole 'nother thing. So of course being at a wedding gets all the single ladies the thinking about marriage, me included in some sense. I dont see myself taking the plunge. Being almost 25 never been on a date or been in a relationship love or marriage is a figment of my imagination. I hear people talk about it but to me it is intangible its like Bigfoot. Yeah love is like Bigfoot, people make claims about it all the time, you see its foot prints, every once in a while someone comes with 'evidence' showing its real but its a hoax. Now I would like to end this post on a high note. I have not totally abandoned the idea that this thing exists. Im sure it does, I know it does, I saw it this weekend. Maybe someday someone will come along and be my Bigfoot, till then I rather enjoy being by myself. You have to love yourself before any one else can.

Pic of the day
In my last semester of college I had to take an art class to graduate. Since Ive always been a far away admirer of photography I figure Id do that. Im glad I did I have not taken any photos lately I have to start again but this picture is from a what I used to call my 'secret hiding place'. When I moved back home I was just like really anxious and just needed to get out of the house sometimes so I would go there just to sit on that bench and zone out for a minute, so there you go.
Miss HU, the wrong HUe.
A local story caught my eye yesterday. Its a story about a young Caucasian lady who attends Hampton University, a historic black college winning the Miss HU pageant. This appointment has the whole campus split on the decision. Her name is Nikole Churchill and she is senior who attends the Va Beach campus of HU (i didnt even know there was a VB campus). There have been negativity because of her skin color and the fact she doesn't attend HU on the main campus (i agree with that one)Others are positive on the issue and say it shows the diversity of the HBCU. I am personally split on this decision. If this was a young black woman becoming queen on an all white campus will the rumpus be the same? At the same this is a historic black college and in keeping with tradition Miss HU should be african-am. But I dont want to sound like a biggot. I will tell you this, I know a lot of the black chicks are like "First they take our men, now they're taking our pageants!?". Churchill had written a letter to President Obama explaining her issue and asked for him to come to Hampton University and speak on racial tolerance, a letter which she later apologized to writing and sending. So all in all im not really sure how to feel on this subject, how bout you?
I would like to send a video dedication to Ms. Churchill Gym Class Heroes "Viva La White Girl"

The Mid 20s Crisis.
What is a Mid 20s Crisis? It is different things for different people in their mid 20s. My crisis began shortly before I graduated from college almost 2 years ago. I started to get high anxiety not really having any plans, not having any money, just not knowing what's going to happen. Some people may thrive on the unknown, but im not one of them. So ever since then ive been going through this 'crisis' and just when it seems things are letting up and a little bit of sunshine is coming in something else happens and the crisis continues. In the vein of being a 'crisis' hopefully this too shall pass or will it become the Late 20s Crisis? We shall see...
