  Kayaking in Melbourne   Hey, I am coming from having a ridiculously stressful semester. I have so much work that is still left unfinished but I remain optimistic that I will come out on top.I think part of my frustration is that I feel as if I am drowning but the people that I live with do not recognize it. So i am annoyed at them and more pissed off at the fact that they do not know I am angry with them. I come to realize the only person I can relay on is myself. My naivety about the world has been strained but I am still hopeful about what life will bring. College just was not what I expected it to be. I just need to depress a bit and regroup my thoughts. So i have been reminiscing about things that bring me joy, one of those things were photography. Since I started school I have not been taking many photos, maybe it was an indication that I was not really happy. So most of the pictures I will share with you come from a happier period when I was in Australia. ...

1. Rhys This guys is absolutely Fabulously fierce. I adored him on So YOU Think You Can Dance Australia and I cannot stop listening to this song. 2. Lady Gaga-Poker Face I have been in love with Just Dance for a couple of months now. I just discovered Poker Face and it is as fierce as Just Dance.She really is an incredible new talent. 3. Photography I got into photography when I traveled to Australia. There is something magical about getting that one shot. I took this picture of my mom when we were in Sydney together. 4. Cooking I was not much of a cook prior to going to Australia. Now I cannot get enough of it. My favorite dishes to cook is turkey meatballs and mushroom soup. 5. John Paul McQueen and Craig Dean About a year ago I became a Mcdeaner. John Paul and Craig are two characters on the popular British soap opera Hollyoaks. They were best friends who fell in love. The story was heartbreaking and absolutely wonderful. The actors James Sutton and Guy Burnett did a fantastic job ...

So, I have spent about six hours obsessing over every detail about the election today. I was nervous but so happy every time a saw a state turn blue. Barack Obama is the president of the United States of America! I am so proud to be a American. I am so proud to be black. I am so proud to be African. I am so proud to be a woman. I am so proud to be old enough to vote. My vote mattered and someone I really believe in is the president. This is so surreal. I mean he won Florida and Virginia. That is so intense. I know that all things are possible. All things are possible. I can do anything through Christ who strengths me.

Here is my first top ten list. The Top ten most beautiful women in Hollywood. It was a difficult list to make, because there are so many beautiful women in Hollywood. This is my opinion and there will be people who disagree with me. All of these women are beautiful in their own ways. The rankings do not make one less attractive than the others. These women are absolutely beautiful and they all represent strong sexy independent woman of the 21st century. Here is the list. 10. Halle Berry She gets more beautiful with age. With a new baby and a new man Halle just proves that there is nothing more beautiful than a women in her 40's. 9. Tie- Jennifer Lopez/ Sara Ramirez Jennifer- One of my role models. It does not hurt that she is absolutely adorable and fabulous to boot with her beautiful face. Sara- Representing the extra sexy on TV. She is one stunning girl and I feel that they are under using her on Grey's. I look forward to see what she does in the future. 8. Catherine Zeta Jon...

Well it is fall so that means the it is the start of TV season. A lot of my favorites shows I have already started, and I am excited for what this year will bring. I just watched the season premiere of Desperate Housewives and it was pretty good. I am not sure about how I feel about the whole five years forward thing but the show is addictive. Ugly Betty is fierce as always. Gossip Girl is my show but I was a little disappointed about the last episode. It was not as good as the previous ones. It had its shocking moments but it still was not as good. Oh well I just realized that i watch more reality shows. T he biggest loser, America Next Top Model, Project Runway and The Amazing Race are some of my favorites shows. All of them are reality shows. The only scripted shows I watch are Gossip Girl, Desperate Housewives and Ugly Betty . Lost will be included but it does not start until next year. I got into Samantha Who recently, I love that show. I am still finishing up last season so...

Right now Roe v Wade is becoming a hot political topic. There are people that are against it and others that are for it. Personally I am struggling with my opinions about abortion. I am a pro-life, so i believe that life begins at conception. At the same time I do not believe abortion should be illegal and that women should have the right terminate a pregnancy if they should choose. There are so many bad things that happen when abortions are illegal, many women lose their lives. I believe in educating people about safe sex((condoms, birth control, morning after pill, absence) to avoid unwanted pregnancies. Am i really pro-life if i believe that abortion is a women choice? Does that make me pro-choice then? Gosh I am so confused.
