I have mixed feelings about this.

On the one hand I love the fact that I’m feeling someone other than my ex

On the other hand I feel like I need to not allow myself to be open like I did with my ex (I’m not as open but it starts somewhere)

I don’t know what to do, allow my emotions to flow or slow it down a bit and create some space

I may be way to accessible but I feel like he is too . .

This is to complicated. I need a nap . . .

Surprise! Happy Birthday!

So I’ve started to read again.

I haven’t read in book in soooooooo long. I’m ashamed to tell you how long, considering I’ve been a book nerd since my youth (I read “The Autobiography of Malcolm X” when I was in the 3rd grade – yep!)

During my trip to Costa Rica my sister was preparing for finals.

She was hella overwhelmed, so we (my other sisters) helped her study,which meant reading some books

I read a book about the Revolution of Latin American countries to help her with one question that would be on her final.  That really reignited my love for books but also history.

I also had to get familiar with a book about Brazil’s former President Cardoso, to help her with another question.

I was deeply intrigued by this political figure.  I’ve traveled to Brazil and I love the country.  In his memoir President Cardoso speaks about race in a dynamic way – a way that I found extremely surprising considering he is not black.

I haven’t finished the book but now that I’m talking about it I will . . .

But I started to read another book called “The Fall of Rome” by Martha Southgate.  Some years ago I went to the Miami Book Fair and purchased a ton of books that I have not read (I started to read a Grisham book but never finished it, then started it again, now I will have to start again . . )

Anyways, I’ve been reading “The Fall of Rome”, little be little, I read 2-3 chapters a day after work. It’s a pretty interesting book from 3 characters’ perspective.  I can’t wait to pick it up tomorrow.

I’m just excited about this renewed desire.

My plan is to read at least 1 book a month.  That’s attainable!  If I keep up with that goal I will have read 12 books in a year.  I just need to get in the habit of reading, magazines, newsletters, books, whatever, I just need to never let my desire subside again.

I’ve been really missing out!

What was the last book you read?

I wish I can write the way I felt after I lost my motion to suppress.  Words can’t describe my feelings.  The best word that I can think of is “DISGUST”! Disgusted with people living in a bubble, Disgusted with law enforcement officers lying on the stand, DISGUSTED that people have no regard for other’s liberties.

I mean at a point in the motion I wanted to throw up.  I just couldn’t take anymore.  I just wanted the officer off the stand and to make my closing arguments to the Judge.  The Judge of course, denied the motion.

I haven’t told anyone the full story because it literally gets me flustered and physically tired and sick.  I just can’t comprehend it.  Ya’ll the streets is real!

I remember how no one wanted to be on cheap phone plans.  Everyone had to be down with Sprint, TMobile, Verizion, etc.  If you were on Prepaid people would assume things about you, i.e., you were po’.  Having a Metro PCS phone back in the day was not in.  Today, erbody is rocking their Metro phone.  And a lot of these large contract phone companies have adopted a prepaid, pay as you go plan. 

For two years I have been with Tmobile paying their ass $120 a month for unlimited everything.  On April 1, 2012 my contract ended.  My freedom was purchased. 

I then decided to terminate my contract and just do a prepaid plan until I figure out what I wanted to do and where I wanted to go.  Yes, I have the power to do that.  And so do you!  As consumers we do have options!!!

SN:  I currently have a BB and I am thinking about where I want to upgrade to — Iphone or Android? (any thoughts, lemme know below)

So now I pay $30 for 1500 minutes and texts.  Yes I know what you are thinking – it’s not a lot of minutes, you’ll be done with that before the month ends . . .

I know, I know, I know.  Call me crazy but I just decided to do the lowest plan because I feel like I’ve been jipped by TMobile for 2 years so I want them to know that a consumer who has the ability to pay more made the decision to pay less.  LOL!  Call me bitter, but I feel like I’ve been bamboozled – like who pays $120 a month for 2 years?!? *points finger at self* o_O

Hold up as I pull out my calculator . . .

$120 * 24 = $2880

I spent damn near $3000 on a phone bill and this aint even counting the phone!  *falls off chair*

So i’m pissed and I just want to spend the least possible as I try to figure out what’s next.  I know it’s all my fault but I just want to blame the TMobile institution!  Blame it on the MAN!!!

It’s a recession ya’ll! I will not spend over $70 bucks on a phone plan ever again.  It’s crazy considering phone companies are offering as little as $45 for a month of unlimited talk, text and web.  I just can’t and I just won’t be handing the MAN $3.000 for the next two years. 

Call me bitter, call me crazy, call me whatever you want.  TMobile is losing out on me now.  They got too much money from me and I, I, I refuse to give them any more than $30 $50 a month.  *dials prepaid customer service to reup on minutes*
