Kara this post is for you...even though you already know everything I am posting.

I had a CRAZY dream about MOS DEF...

We were at this soul food restaurant, a really nice one like Gladys Knights Chicken and Waffles in Atlanta, anyways-- I really like Mos Def and think that he is an exceptional actor. I can't say the same for his music b/c I don't know much about it, but either way, I am a fan.

When I saw him come into the restaurant, I approached him and told him how much I enjoy his work. He smiled and such and told me to come up to this room with him. I'm a lady, but I am also a fan, so I went.

When we got upstairs, there were several people in the room looking at me like a was a piece of meat. I just wanted to take a picture with Mos, but he had me waiting around forever, it seemed like.

I went into the hallway and asked him again if we could take the pic and he said yeah, but I would need to "get down" afterward. I am assuming this meant, go in the room with him and really "get down". Obviously, I was not "down" for it, so I quickly snapped a shot of us and ran.

Strange dream. So now that I'm awake, I don't know how much I like Mos Def anymore. He was kind of a jerk in my dream. This dream has prompted me to do more research on him and guess what I found out? He has another side to him. He allegedly has five kids and five different baby mamas! He is also reportedly married to two women. Mos Def the polygamist? One Web site seems to this so... http://drinkthis.typepad.com/answer_this/mos_defs_kids_wives_and_baby_mamas/

Go figure!

In other news...

I really love my boyfriend. Mostly because we have a true bond. Like, I don't doubt that we will spend the rest of our lives together. He's awesome. I got to spend Christmas with him and his family and it was great. We are spending New Year's together too! For the first time ever, I will have someone to kiss at midnight!

In other news-- I am enjoying doing absolutely nothing on Christmas break.

 This game rocks! Supply and Demand Beeoches!!!!!  www.lemonadegame.com

More news--Oh yeah, and  I got accepted into Teach for America. I am going to be a real life teacher. I find out my city of placement on Jan 5. I hope I get Charlotte! Or ATL. It's gonna be absolutely awesome! Life is good.

Teach For America... here I come

I got invited to an interview for TFA. Williamsburg, Va. Dec 8th. So many preparations must be done, but I am quite excited as I become one step closer to reaching my goal of helping to teach the youth in this nation. There aren't enough positive role models out there, and I really would like to be one. TFA is a great way to do that. Core got in too! YAY! www.teachforamerica.org

Kanye may be a college drop-out, but he can sure put on a show...

• We had awesome seats, 7th row. It sucked though, because we missed Keyshia Cole's performance. I guess that is the price you pay for SOLA VISTA! We came in around the middle of Fantasia's performance was really great. She was real, just like a regular ghetto girl you see everyday, I liked that about her. Kanye's performance was really good-- he is truly an entertainer. Some highlights for me were the "Roses" performance with the hospital bed and my favorite Kanye song- "Get 'em High." I wish Common would have come though.. oh well, it was a great "night of friends" b/c we re-created our freshman year photo from the Nelly concert- Me, Core and Stephy. Plus Desty was there!
• After the concert we went to some sweatbox house party, but promptly left after discovering that most of the people in the house were freshmen and sophomores.
• Overall the night was quite fun.

Oh well, Monday looms in the horizon... I guess I will prepare for the week ahead.

L to R- Stephanie, Corinn, Me and Destiny!

Kanye West, of course!

In other news, I have finally washed my car after a year of not washing it! I am proud, although I shouldn't be. LOL

Graduation: Please hurry!

*I am getting HU-sick. I love my "Home By the Sea," but sometimes, I just sit here and wonder, like, where will I be in five years. And will HU have any purpose in my life at that point? At Homecoming and graduation, you see the occasional alumi pop up, but overall, do people really incorporate their colleges into their everyday lives? Do people really give money back to their alma mater? I may. I agree with Kara that I would like to donate money to the terminal illness that is our J-school- lol.

*I also wanna see like what is gonna happen in my love life. Like are me and Antuan gonna be together forever? It looks that way-- we're way too compatible. Is it too soon to tell? Sometimes, stuff just hits you over the head, you know? Weirder things have happened.

*Are we really gonna end up at the Kanye West concert tonight? We will see.

Weird things about me that I think are normal:

*I love fonts

*I enjoy musicals and strange, obscure movies and trivia

*I love the look of white text on a black background.

*I love Bush's baked beans with cheese in it.

ARRRG, I am so nervous about Teach For America. Like, I am confident I will make it, but it is nerve-wrecking. I hope me and Core both make it and fulfill our cart dreams! I just hope I make it to the interview next week. I really wanna work with kids. But then I also wanna do journalism. It's a tough call.

"A casual evening of friends"...lol
