Friends, How many of us have them?


Good friends are hard to come by.

Today Lisa, my roommate of three years and friend of seven years threw a Meet Mallory party since I was not able to have my baby showers because of my daughter's persistence to enter the world early. I had not even thought to do anything since the cancellation of my baby shower because I have been so enthralled in getting settled and making sure my daughter is okay with the new move. But that didn't stop Lisa from having something for us. Wasn't that sweet of her?

Good friends are really hard to come by and I am so blessed to have a friend like Lisa because only Lord knows where I would be without her. Lisa's boyfriend is a blessing as well, he is always willing to help out and he keeps a smile on Mallory's face and a laugh on my lips. Lisa's son, who is my Godson is my breath of fresh air when Mallory takes me down with her endless cries. I thank my extended family for the continuous love shown to Mallory and I.

You can't find friends like her I tell ya, shucks you can barely find family like her. My own Father whom she called over and over, did not show up to the party for whatever reasons and he lives 30 minutes away! But I said that my New Years resolution was not to worry about grown folks so hey... it's their lost not ours, Mallory and I will be alright, in large part to my wonderful friend Lisa. Thank you.

Tunnel Vision

Last week a fellow journalist died in a car accident. A lot of people at my job knew him as a kid from SIUC who died in that terrible accident the other day but I actually knew that kid, Ryan Rendleman. I went to school with him, I worked with him at the school newspaper and most times I talked about him on the phone with my girlfriend because that Rendleman was truly a trip.  His passing made me realize how quickly our lives can be taken away from us and how I really haven't done much to contribute to society, or to my obituary if I were to die today.  When I hear about someone my age or younger being pregnant, getting married or doing something that I would consider a grown up act, I gawk at how advanced they are, in a negative way, when I should really be getting just like them because life is so short!  I am in my early 20's, just graduated from college, have never lived out of Illinois, have never smoked, don't have any tattoos, interesting piercings or children.  This...

No turning back now

This one friend of mine is in some deep shit. 1. He's in jail. 2. He's in jail because he was speeding on a stolen motorcycle. 3. His mother is a laywer and she is so pissed at him that she won't get him out. 4.5.6.7.8... 9. He is a pretty boy Kappa, which has turned him into a womanizer. But the number one reason why he is in some deep shit is because 10. He gave his main girlfriend the passcodes to his voicemail, email and facebook. Ok let me break down that last sentence. He gave his main girlfriend the passcodes to his voicemail , email and facebook . Isn't that against the player handbook? If you have a main girl that means you have other girls... so why? The passcode to your voicemail... the voicemail that all the girls are leaving messages on because they heard you were in jail. The passcode to your facebook... the place where you do ALL of your dirt. I mean come on, how stupid can one man be? His excuse was that he didn't have anything to hide from her and ...

A side of Baby Mama, hold the drama

Just a few years ago, I would cringe at the term "baby mama," Today, I embrace it. It is what it is and I am who I am.  You have to live your life and roll with the punches. I never thought I'd be a baby mama. I'm more of the wife, fiance, girlfriend type. Or so I thought. Life is just not the fairy tale you dream it to be when you are eight years old in your big cousin's tiara and your mother's high heels. I wish I could go back. I would say "self," my self would say "huh." And then I would lay it on thick... "Little Aerial, these boys only want one thing and one thing only. Your heart! So they can break it." Can I get an Amen? "Protect yourself little Aerial. Protect your cookies. Protect your heart. Or else be the best baby mama you can humanly be, like me." I love my baby. Love her to the death. Do you hear me? I am with her every single day! She needs for nothing. And once she start to talk, she wi...
