Update to 2011

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO MY BELOVED FOLLOWERS and to those who have yet to join my blog, but do still read it. So much has happen and I'm going to do my best to fit it all in this one blog post.

Those of you who know me, know that I am a people person. I seldom turn away from a greeting. Meaning if you greet me, Il greet you back. Living here in New York City; I have to learn how to do just the opposite. It was around 9p.m. I had just come from a theatrical event in the Time Square area. I'm sure I don't have to tell you, but to say that Time Square is extremely crowded on the weekend would be a huge understatement. Bumper to butt with people and traffic. As I walked with the pedestrian traffic and talked on my cell phone. A man who look to be in his 40's and of Italian background walked up to me. "Oh I thought you were talking to me", he said. I signal to him that I was talking to the person on my cell phone, but that didn't detour him. He began to walk beside me and tried to start up a conversation. The next thing out of his mouth was "So where are you heading?" and I answered "The Subway." That where I messed up. I should have kept my mouth shut! He replied "Good! So what are we doing for dinner?" Thats when I realized I had just attracted another NUT!

So what do I mean by another NUT...? Let me sum it up like this. I dated a Nigerian man throughout college. We continued to date after I had graduated. Giving us a relationship of about six years. He broke my heart and I broke his. I never truly got over him. There is a big part of me that still truly loves him today. Evermore I have to move on because he is now engaged to an African. No surprise there...and I do wish them well. Am I scared for life? Yes, I am. Am I stuck on stupid or African men? Both! I need to leave them all the way alone, but I wont! Now please don't misunderstand me. I don't discriminate in the least. I have dated out my race and will continue to do so if the right man comes along. Although I can't deny my ever so strong attraction to African men! On the other hand Caucasian men that are old enough to be my father will approach me before an African American man will. Well that may not be entirely true. There are the newly, wet behind the ears, young, African American, men. I'm talking 18yrs -24yrs old that will try to holler at me. So what's really going on? I mean seriously! Someone asked me the other day how was love treating me. I told them "Love hates me." They replied to me "Yeah, love sucks." I commented "No. Love hurts." I have dated two African man this year in NYC. NOT African American but AFRICAN. Some may hate to hear it, but there is a huge difference between being African American and African! Least to say I ended it with both men because they were both demanding me to marry them. Love, green cards, bad sex, Love, citizenship, great sex which ever... I WILL NOT BE MARRYING EITHER OF YOU! CONSIDER YOURSELF DISMISS!!!!

On to a brighter topic. I had an audition to attend on a weekend when I had to work. I wasn't sure how I was going to make this happen. This would only be my 3rd time auditioning for a film. I was ecstatic that my boss let me off of work early. Just not early enough to go home and get completely ready; and this is why you can't beat living in NYC. I hoped off the train in Time Square, since that's where my transfer was. I ran into Sephora, and put my face on BABY! Gave myself a wink and hoped backed on the train. Least to say, I got my first film gig! Can I get an AMEN! When and if it does comes out I'll be sure to let you guys know. It's an independent racy comedy that will be submitted to the Sundance film festival.

I'm interested in how my followers spent there New Years Eve. I went to a singles event where there were well over 350 people. I got completely wasted. I had to spend 95% of the next day recovering. Tequila, white wine, red bull and vodka, cranberry and vodka, and cheap champagne don't mix very well. Thank God for good people and best friends. This year my goal is to see more than three production. Last year I had the privilege of seeing Ocean Imagine, which was a fun show. Mary Poppins was also was a nice treat, but I think I like Avenue Q the best. The songs were hilarious and well written. My new years resolution is to become better physically fit, get more out of my degree, and to do more international traveling! I'm interested in my readers goals and resolutions as well. Please feel free to post them.
