Relax Time

I've just finished my paper and now it's time for me to relax. I don't have much time to blog. I doubt I'll be doing much blogging in the next year.

I noticed a lot of bloggers are making their blogs private. Why?! I suppose it won't be that bad since I don't have much time to surf the net leisurely.

I get a two-week break during my studies next month and I can't wait. I have a lot of things I need to do. I plan to write an essay about motherhood from a single and child-less-by-choice perspective. I've got an end of year video project I plan to produce commemorating 2007.

Work. I've settled into my civilian job. It feels like I never left. I can barely remember Afghanistan. If it weren't for the few pictures I took, I would totally forget the experience.

To date, I have yet to purchase music from iTunes though I frequent the store to listen to the song samples. I definitely plan to get Timbaland's new CD. I love the song 'Apologize.' Believe it or not there are Hip/Hop songs I would like to get. Fabolous has a song I like as well as Akon (Mama Africa) and Kanye West (Stronger). I've had my eye on Jon B's most recent album and India Arie is on my list as well. I think these will be my Christmas/Birthday presents for this year.

I almost bought a condo. Almost-as in once I saw how much the monthly payment would be I chickened out. LOL. The only good thing I got out of the experience is I know what my Fica score is. I'm very pleased. :grin:

I haven't seen any new movies lately. I wanted to see the new Denzel Washington movie but I don't care for the smell of popcorn and my attention span has gotten shorter for some reason so I doubt I'd watch the whole movie anyway. Besides, I haven't been to the movies in over a year. My last movie going experience was terrible. Don't want to go into details but to make a long story short, people need to teach their children manners.

I emailed my dad and asked him what he though of Dread locks? It wasn't a good response. He basically said they look nasty and unkept. He also commented that employers wouldn't hire someone with locks because the hairstyle is associated with potheads. (Don't employers require drug tests nowadays?) What's wrong with black people? Why is there such hostility to our natural hair texture?
