I'm obsessed with....FALL!

Fall weather has appeared this weekend, and I'm loving every moment of it. I'm so comfy laying around with my sister, niece and my dog. Every year Fall/Autumn comes I begin to freak out like crazy because this is the part of the year (besides my BIRTHDAY) that gets me pumped....

Here's WHY:

1. Weather- I love can walk around all day without running out of breath. The heat during the Summer takes your breath away. Don't get me wrong, Summer is cool and you get to wear less clothing...depending on how you feel about yourself of course. But, it gets too hot that when you step outside, you begin to sweat. You just took a damn shower, and already you are sweating!
2. Halloween- BY FAR MY FAVORITE HOLIDAY! 
3. Pumpkin EVERYTHING!- I saw a recipe for Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies and made them today ---------->Recipe:http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/pumpkin-chocolate-chip-cookies-recipe.html
   
    Also made Pumpkin Spiced Coffee Creamer!!!! 0_0 OH MAH GAH!!! (Apple Pie Moonshine jar) Recipe: http://www.blogher.com/easy-pumpkin-spice-coffee-creamer-recipe
   
   
4. Sweater Weather- There's something about a comfortable sweater that just reminds me of fall
5. Fall fashion- I'm not a huge fashion person, but I love getting the essentials for Fall!
6. New Shows/New Seasons-I feel like shows are better in the Fall than any other time of year! Sadly, it's also when new shows get cancelled. BOO TO THE NETWORKS FOR CUTTING THE SHOWS I DID LIKE!!! 

Here's a link to a segment I did on my fave Fall shows!

Is it hard for you to support others?

Why is it hard to support each other in this day and age? 

Seriously....WHY THE HELL CAN'T 1 PERSON BE HAPPY FOR ANOTHER? 

I watched a video a while back by one of my fave Youtubers Jouelzy about this very topic. Success isn't a one person mission, but a mission everyone can be apart of. We should constantly encourage each other to succeed in whatever it is that we're doing in life. Jouelzy mentioned how we all have the same tools, but we all use them differently...and that's OK! DO YOU BOO! and I will be there to support you. But, I expect the same in return. Is that too much to ask for? 

Just as I'm blogging and doing my radio thing, I don't get too much support, but I appreciate the support I have gotten. I'm quick to be in someone's corner and help when I can, but where's the support for me?? As African American women, the sisterhood needs to be stronger, and we have to get over that "IT'S GONNA BE ME" frame of mind. It's not doing anything but separating us. I've also found that some sistas won't support their own, but will for someone else in a heartbeat. Don't throw shade because I'm doing something different from you, or I may not be doing something you think I should. It's the same petty "oh she think she cute" scenario...-_0

We all have our own paths, and success can be whatever the heck we want it to be! My success is not your's and vice versa. I want all my brothers and sisters (EVERY RACE) to be successful, but we can't continue to have that it's all about me and no one else mentality. 

Also, being successful and bringing people up to be successful needs to happen more. I try to encourage young women and men I become in contact with to do better. It takes a village to raise a child, and as the human race, we are all FAMILY. Maybe it's that world peace mentality I try to see, or maybe not. Maybe I'm not the only one thinking this way...

What are you opinions on the matter at hand? Can we work together to become successful, and not thrown shade when trying to encourage others? 

Here's Jouelzy's video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhU-cuiCILI&list=PLWHAOe4kVevxyoKg7l_H8sAFzQ3rdxcbO&index=3

Getting on the old ass horse AGAIN!

It's 1:14 a.m....debating if coffee is the answer, or should I just continue to yawn while I type this. At this point, if you haven't already guessed, I'm not all here right now. I've mastered typing without looking down for years now, so I could just type this whole thing with my eyes closed....Here I go...You can't see me but the last couple lines, my eyes were closed. I've been asked for a while now when I was going to start blogging again, and I really didn't have an answer for it. If I wrote about everything I was thinking about on a daily basis, this would be a romantic/horror/suspense/fiction/non-fiction/comedy type of blog. This tells you I have a lot of fucking issues up in my brain, but don't we all....

At this point, I haven't gotten up to make any coffee because I want a fresh pot when I wake up later today. I'm not usually one of those people that want a fresh pot of coffee, and give it 24 hours til I dump it. Coffee is fucking expensive, so I just throw that shit in the microwave and BINGO, it's brand spanking new! Speaking of coffee, I decided a couple months ago to start a radio show. My sisters  hinted the idea to me after my many conversations of wanting to be on a radio show, but never knew how to go about it.

The birth of COFFEENOFILTER...

That's right! I have my own online radio show, and I can say whatever the fuck I want. That's the fun part of my radio show. I can engage an audience based on my own opinion. The only problem was coming up with topics that were interesting enough for me to sit and speak on for a half hour. Believe me, if I had a huge audience, I'd talk way more than a half hour...it's also free to have the basic shit. I will leave a link at on this blog, so you can listen to some of my old shit. New segments coming very soon!

1:28 a.m.

The day I decided to audition for The Phantom of the Opera 0_0!

More like Tuesday since today is technically Wednesday...

Being the person that I am, I like the spotlight (hence my radio show). I grew up watching musicals and loving the arts, but never really did much in it. I've performed a couple times for school and camp, but nothing really big. I can clearly remember my first performance where I had to say this Mother Goose poem...

Pease porridge hot,
Pease porridge cold,
Pease porridge in the pot,
Nine days old.

Some like it hot.
Some like it cold.
Some like it in the pot,
Nine days old.

That was elementary school, and I only remember because I practiced over a dozen times, only to forget to pretend to eat the porridge at the end. "Oh well", I told my teacher and sat back down. I was suppose to eat the air? Anyway...with this being my last semester at community college (WHY DIDN'T I CHANGE MY MAJOR SOONER)...I wanted to take an acting course to see if I'm really good at it. You know how people tell you you are good at something, but you want to really see it for yourself. I was going to go to a fancy program, but I said fuck that TOO MUCH MONEY!

I received an email about auditions that are being held in September for different plays. I said I wanted to be in a play my last semester of community college before I transfer. When I looked to see what the plays were going to be, I 0_0! PHANTOM OF THE OPERA! I may not be the best singer, but I can hold a note. Even typing this now, I'm a nervous wreck. However, life is about taking a leap of faith.

"The worse they can say is no"

Thanks for reading....will write soon :)
