Bitter = Quitter?

All it takes is for a guy to ADMIT that he was thinking of another girl while he's with you. (Oh yeah, sorry it took so long to put up a new post. Had to focus on the first week of classes.) And you can become the "Bitter Black Woman" for the past two weeks I felt as if I was in the transitioning period of becoming this stereotype. And I was right. I haven't been in a real lovey-dovey, "no you hang up first", kissy face, I can't wait to call him/her, relationship in three years. I've dated and all I seem to attract is jackasses, bullshitters, and fake ass pimps (and those nicknames are given those who are deserving in my address book). So back to the very first sentence..that was the straw that broke the camel's back. I went into a rage right out of your favorite urban novel or BET Blackbuster Movie (*ahem* Baby Boy). I couldn't believe that he had said this to me. Of course not without beating around the bush a few times until he figured out how he wanted to say it.  I had put plenty of time into this "young man" and thought he could have been a potential boyfriend. FUCK NO! Instead, he just uses the excuse that he told the truth. Okay and? You were still doing something that was gonna hurt my feelings. With that, and this random guy steady trying to talk to me AND my ex-girlfriend who has a son and is engaged. I am through with the whole dating scene. And I will be put in that "Bitter Black Woman" box. Now it's just me, school, and the money. But do you think being a bitter person equal to being a quitter? Leave it in the comments.

Back To School!

I've been on break practically since November and I am soooo ready to go back to class. I hate sitting around not doing anything. My schedule is EARLY in the morning and my day is over by 12:30 except on Tuesdays and that's over at 1:30. Sweet for a commuter student. For my entire first semester my dad's been taking me to school and picking me up. But with my birthday literally right around the corner (February 12th!) there's been a lot of talk between me and my parents about getting a car. I hate saying this but my hopes are WAY up! Ever since I was small I was always the one doing stuff last. And my senior year me not having a car made me feel SUPER LAME! And me not having a car as a commuter student in college SUCKS ASS! So this is BIG. I got my job back at Dollar General since I took a semester off to get used to college. And I am ready to finally be an adult after I get my Life starter package from my parents. 

Oh Yeah..I'm getting a dog too!!

Teen Mom

MTV has really stepped it up on their reality television. The Hills is the greatest thing to white people since the boxof wine. Jersey Shore is getting plenty of buzz whether it's positive or negative. The Real World is still gaining viewers, and the different dating shows may be far-fetched..but their funny nonetheless. However, the one show that has caught my eye was Teen Mom, the spinoff of the controversial 16 And Pregnant series. The show follows four teens Maci, Amber, Catelynn, and Farrah through the tough trials of parenthood at such a young age.

MACI

Maci is my personal favorite. She was on top of the world in high school until she became pregnant with her baby boy Bentley. As her friends left for school she was buying formulas and pampers. Her parents want her to get married to her boyfriend Ryan. But I personally think he's a piece of shit and she would do better as a single parent. Maci does all she can for little Bentley. She's enrolled in online classes, and works to keep her son well taken care of. While Ryan works out of town and when they are together..he's still a piece of shit. Maci's segments of the show usually has me yelling at the tv as if Ryan can hear my yells to pick the baby up and give him a hug. As I watch the series I hope Maci will dump Ryan's stupid ass and live her life as a single-parent.

AMBER

A high school dropout, Amber was definitely a party girl until she got pregnant with Leah by her older brother's friend, Gary. Soon after Gary proposed to Amber, everything went downhill.They argue all the time about Leah being taken care of by Gary for a change since Amber does it 24/7. Amber's segments usually have me looking at the TV like I'm bored out of my mind because..well..I'm usually bored out of my mind. Her and Gary simply need to put their minds together instead of bumping heads to figure out a balance that'll satisfy the both of them.

CATELYNN

Catelynn's story has me in tears every time she comes on. During her junior year she became pregnant with Carly. Her and her boyfriend Tyler made the very huge decision of giving Carly up for adoption. They have a semi-open adoption where they speak to the adoptive parents regularly and they'll send pictures of the baby. Catelynn and Tyler's parents strongly disagreed their choice of adoption and since then they have been putting the young teens through hell. I believe that in their situation Tyler and Catelynn chose the best choice that'll benefit them and their baby girl. Their parents need to let them be teenagers and get THROUGH the situation.

FARRAH

This segment is where I yell and scream at the TV because I swear this girl grinds my gears like no other. Farrah is a high school cheerleader turned single parent. But she insists on trying to juggle everything. A social life, school, a job, a modeling career, and most of all being a single teen mom. I don't have any children and I'm not going to call her a bad mom but she needs to wake up QUICK. Her daughter is healthy and beautiful and even though her parents help take care of her when she decides to go out with her friends until 3am, that's not their place to do that. 

Teen Mom is a great reality check for a lot of young girls out there. It sends a great message about how having a baby isn't as glamorous as some teens think it is. I will continue watching the show as it touches me personally since me and these girls are around the same age. And how I could easily be in that spot. 

Teddy Teddy P!

Say It Ain't So..

Last night as I was getting ready to lay it down after having a hearty laugh with my pants on the ground and Princess Penelope..Soul Legend Teddy Pendergrass passed away at 9:59pm last night. He had surgery for colon cancer about 8 months ago. This was my mother's MAN lol. Her favorite song is Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes' (which Pendergrass was the lead singer of) 'If You Don't Know Me By Now.'

Teddy P might be the reason I'm here today along with others..A lot of people miss you Mr. Pendergrass. And I know they'll keep you not only in their hearts, but in their music players.

Love TKO

Plus Teen Southeast?

     So I've decided to enter the Plus Teen Southeast pageant..I didn't do USA because I'm not ready for such a HUGE pageant. I'll be too old to do it next year but I'll enter something else. So I'm doing regionals instead. It's July 17th in ATLANTA. I haven't traveled since I was 4 and me and my parents went to Disneyworld. I'm SOOO excited! My best friend will be there (DUH!) and my parents will be there. When I competed for Miss Freshman at school I wasn't mentally ready, neither were the other contestants really. I was too lost in the whole new world of college. But this is MY time. I'm ready to compete and WIN WIN WIN!

The Ugly Duckling (Now A Big Fine Swan)

Yeah I know..cute right?

 The cute little angel pictured above was happy with life and was so naive it was adorable. Soon she would turn into the awkward phase of puberty and was a chunky child!

I don't have any pictures of me in my awkward phase. And I'm glad. I was teased in school for being bigger and the friends I did have were tall and slim. I had a big pie face and I was always the one to get a fake note saying someone liked me, or if I liked someone he thought I was fat and verbally expressed how he felt. (You know kids don't lie!)

The little girl would cry hoping her time would come and fix it all. But things didn't come so easy. Soon the little girl turned 13, and what seemed like her worst...was the absolute worst!

 The beginning of puberty was so shitty for me. I couldn't dress, my friends were trendy and they had boyfriends and I was still a loser. My hips had the ugliest shape, I had no butt, and so far..no type of talent. This went on until I turned 16. Then I met him.

The girl had finally found her Prince Charming, or so she thought. Turns out he was a wolf in sheep's clothing.

I'm not really gonna go into the whole story of what happened with me and ol' Dickhead..but just know it took a year and a half to get through and it changed my life. So much, that I'm STILL feeling from it. But that opened a door for change.

After being trapped in a dungeon and saving herself the girl wasn't a girl at all anymore. She had grown into a young woman. Now she was on a journey to find her true self.

After a bout of depression, I got involved in school for my senior year. I was the AV kid. (You know the kids who pushed around the tv's back in the day? Well I was the new version) I was president of the media club and I did what I did DAMN GOOD. I directed, edited, wrote, and shot the school television show. College was the biggest thing on my mind and my school of choice came to the school to interview the applicants. I got accepted on the spot.

The now young woman was on her way to a new land.

I started college and hated it at first. I felt like I didn't fit in and I was commuting without a car and I've been getting dropped off/picked up since I was 13. Doing that in college SUCKS ASS. Like..why the fuck didn't you let me stay on campus? But I went the whole semester without driving and I missed EVERYTHING. I didn't make a lot of friends, I've missed socials, and I missed Wale coming to the basketball game. My grades sucked ass at first but it wasn't like I had a big social life so I fixed that. Then..the semester was over. Currently I'm on our last week of our winter break. My freshman year is halfway OVER! Word is I'm getting a car next month, and my yearly love horoscope said don't expect anything until the summer time. So I won't be letting the  prowl get in the way of my school work. Also! I've managed to find my own style in the meantime. After I ran for Miss Freshman (and lost *middle finger up*) I switched int up and came into my own..oh yeah. And the body is RIGHT lol. So I've really grown from the little girl at the beginning of the story. What happens next? Who knows?

Me and My Best Friend!

"I swear I love this bitch to death!"

Me and Brittany met back on February 27th (don't ask how I remember that) when I was working the slave ship at Wendy's. I had just cut my hair short and had platinum blond in that bitch. She was with her bitch ass friend Wolfpuss (i.don't.like.her) I get home from work and she requested me on myspace. That's how I knew she was a stalker..crazy bitch. Well we went out to dinner and we found out the disturbing fact that her boyfriend was an old friend of mine..and now he's not a friend at all. But I wouldn't trade her for the world. We go to Walmart and act a fool. Stay on the phone until she goes to sleep on me. Not agree about religion. Talk about people. And trade tales of what we're going to do for our weddings. That's my girl!

Happy New Year! (All Late)

Yeah..I'm hot right? lol That was Christmas 2009 and that's my friend Alexx in the back. I had the time of my life that night. The dress came from Forever 21's Faith 21 line. It was PERFECT. Anyways! 

My name is Dominique.  I'm 18 turning 19 on February 12th. I had started a blog before but something just wasn't right. So I left it. I started writing around the first few weeks of college. And I couldn't manage all that at one time. So a little about me. I'm a college freshman..I'm bisexual, My best friend Brittany is the SHIT! I used to be a chunky ugly duckling. I weigh 228. Measurements 38C-33-50 (BAM!) I'm currently searching for a relationship. My favorite color is yellow. I consider myself a living breathing Bratz doll (been doing that WAY before Onika Maraj lol) I want to be a music video director and a gentleman's club owner. I'm obsessed with reality television and I'm ashamed. I like the Young Money album and I'm ashamed. I LOVE Lady Gaga. And I have two addictions: Pizza and Weave. You'll learn more about me as I go. But this is what I can think of off top.
