A Change has COME

Posted in randomness tagged , , , , , , , , at 9:14 pm by Ms. Peaches

As I lay here singing in my head the only words that keep playing back are those of Sam Cooke…”It’s been a long, a long time coming and I know a change gon’ come…oh yes it will” I’m not sure if you’re familiar with the song or not but as Seal has remade it and it seems to be on Vh1 Soul every freakin day I keep singing it and singing it. I find the words to be so simple yet so profound…”it’s been too hard living, but I’m afraid to die, I don’t know what’s out there beyond the skies…it’s been a long, a long time coming but I know a change gon’ come…oh yes it will.” I mean it just sounds like life was so hard but in all reality each trial and tribulation only makes us stronger…maybe it makes us hear better, look harder, think smarter…I don’t really know but I feel the song…not to sound cliche or anything but I feel it in my “bones” LOL okay let me keep it serious…Before I reached the point that I am at in my life I thought change was never going to make it my way…well maybe not that harshly…I think I was denying the fact that a change needed to come. So I remained content instead of happy in an all around sense. When I relocated from one coast to the other it was like my CHANGE had seriously come! I couldn’t be happier about where I am now…there are things that are still changing but they are all changing for the better. Life is short don’t miss out on your CHANGE!

This song speak volumes to where we all stand in this country right now. As the song continues…he sings, “I go to my brother, and I say “brother, help me please” but he winds up knocking me…back down on my knees…there’s been times that I thought I couldn’t last for long, but now I think I’m able to carry own…” Man! It’s definitely been a long time coming a change has come in the greater since of the word…IDon’t sit idlely waiting for a change that you know you need but haven’t sought…President Elect Barack Obama has given this world hope and grabbed the Change he was looking for just as he set example we too can set example…Make HISTORY in your life today…because life is too short, don’t let it pass you by!

Official Welcoming…

Posted in randomness at 11:35 am by Ms. Peaches

I’d like to take the opportunity to officially WELCOME my first guest author…She has already created two new post. Her second post is a must read. I must say that I personally would love to hear the melody of her poem. It was very well written and seeing that she cannot sing I’d love to be the one to sing it. Anyhow, I hope you enjoy her post this week–Please feel free to comment on any post that are up we’d love to hear from you and get some feed back on how the site is progressing towards change.

Getting acclamated…

Posted in randomness tagged , , , , at 4:22 pm by Ms. Peaches

So now that I am on my new coast…I am venturing out into the world of public transportation. It’s ironic because in Cali you pretty much use public transportation as a last resort…but here it’s more of a first resort…driving is apparently out and taking the subway is in.

So today I venture out for the first time solo…it wasn’t too bad. I didn’t get lost…prehaps a little confused when I first got in there trying to work the fare card machine…but the nice man with the yellow vest on, creeped up on me and said…”do you know what you’re doing?” I’m clearly no dummy so I with a smirk said I sure don’t…I knew where I was going I knew I needed a round trip ticket and I knew how much it cost…so after the man creeped up off me I made my way down the escalator…Guess what? It was the wrong side and there was my line pushing along without me. Luckily these things run pretty regularily I only had to wait 8 minutes or maybe 11 minutes for the next line to come that I  needed.

So I found my way to the surface street I  needed and didn’t feel overwhelmed…hmmm I guess you need a little more background to even understand why any of this even matters. I have serious issues with getting lost. I  mean I literally freak out. Not because I am uncapable of getting unlost but because I was stigmatized by a childhood incident that has apparently scared me for life I am SOOOOOO not okay with even the slightest possibility of being lost…I digress…so on the way  home I got off a stop too early but was able to hop right back on and get off on the correct stop so all in all it was a successful trip on the subway and bus routes for my first time.

Huge Changes…

Posted in randomness tagged , , at 1:42 pm by Ms. Peaches

This year has been quite the year for me. It’s only August, which is actually a lot closer to the ending of the year than I’d like to admit…2008 has definitely been a year of change and trials/tribulations for me.

I got laid off at the end of January, it two weeks for me to find a new job…only for me to get laid off from that Job 6 1/2 months after I started there. I am so thankful that I have God in my life or I would probably be going crazy right now.

So I’ve decided that I am moving. What better time than now. I am taking my life to the east coast and I actually can’t wait to make the move.

A Simple Complexity? or a Complex Simplicity?

Posted in randomness tagged , , , , , , , , , at 4:58 pm by Ms. Peaches

“It should all be so simple…but you’d rather make it hard…it’s like a battle, and we both end up with scars…” (if you don’t recognize those words…think The MisEducation of Lauren Hill). That tune is so more than appropriate right now in my life.

Drama, is it a simple complexity? or a complex simplicity? What do you do with it? where do you put it? how do you get away from it? When does it all just cease to exist and completely leave you alone…? I think never. It dies down but the effects of it seemingly linger and grab a hold of whatever is found loose in its path.

Today I am to a point where there is no more effort on my part. There is no more concern…I simply don’t care. You reap what you sow, and if the seed you are sowing is bad seed, in return you will get bad seed.

In current society it is so hard for people to own up to how their own actions have caused what exist around them. A good friend said to me…”you only know about it cuz you’re being told about it…if you remove that part of the equation, you won’t even have to hear about it…” sounds so simple, right?

I don’t know if that’s right or not…I don’t know what to believe about anything. More story has been shed to me and nothing is adding up…I have my own speculations now of what is going on and for the sake of drama going away I am going to keep them to myself. But someone is really all up in my business and I’d like them to kindly see their way out…

Why is there DRAMA?

Posted in randomness tagged , , , , , , at 4:44 pm by Ms. Peaches

Have you ever tried to rid yourself of certain aspects of situations but every time you turn around it’s something new? I just don’t get it. The best business in the line of business is to mind YOUR OWN business. Why so many people become infected with the need to stir around in business that is not theirs is beyond me.

I can’t stand drama and as of lately it seems to be following me around like I’m it’s new best friend…after I put out the flames to one fire here comes another and I just don’t want to deal with it. I am indirectly being tagged in a game of freeze tag that I was never offered the option to play in. The irony in that…I guess since my name has never been in anything before now folks are latching on cuz what? This is a new point in history? Something like this won’t ever come about again? Grow up! Let’s be proactive not reactive…

I just need space, away from everybody and everything…DRAMA is not healthy…being in other peoples business is not healthy…it creates unwanted stress for everyone…and I simply don’t want it! So get out of MINE!

Fat Girls

Posted in randomness at 4:14 pm by Ms. Peaches

What’s the problem with PLUS size models? Are big girls not good enough? Hot enough? Sexy enough–to be Models?

Now don’t misunderstand, because I’m all for equal rights for everyone. I’m even and advocate for plus size models…hell if I was a model I’d be put into the plus size category. However, just because that is the case does not mean that the morbidly obese should be modeling in clothes that are more appropriate for smaller models.

The bigger question is why are “Fat” girls made fun of for having a dream to be a model?
