A Simple Plea: 10 reasons I Love You! by Shanti

LMAO I love my goddaughter. Getting phone calls from her seems to always brighten my day :D Today her phone call consisted of her reading a book to me, spelling my name, making sure to tell me I have to capitalize the E in my name "Capital E and don't forget it", then a ploy to convince me to buy her a bicycle lol. This in her mind is reason enough for a bike. (she's 7)


Ten reason I LOVE YOU!

1. you always smell like candy and flowers
2. your hair is pretty when you brush it
3. you let me jump on your bed
4. you have a lot of travie stuff
5. you bought me a new backpack
6. i like your CDs
7. you let me play in your paints
8. your car is so so so so pretty!
9. you let me paint your nails when you sleep (which i dont!)
10. cause i just love you okay.

by Shanti.

where she gets this stuff from i really don't know. lol either way i'm slightly won over :)

Video: NLT - "She said, I said"

Now while I feel some kind of way about their so called "dance moves" and think that whoever directed (Chris Stokes) this video failed... mierably I'm torn. I can't help but love this song. Timbaland did a bomb job producing it but this damn video did it no justice. Even knowing that two people who I completely despise are amongst the list of songwriters (omarion & marques houston). They get one point for it and that is the only positive note I have for those two in general. I will completely understand if you minimize the screen as you watch (yes it sucks that bad)

RANDOM: DRNK TXT RMEO & MASH UP

Then there is DRNK TXT RMEO

"I know you think I'm wreckless, move so fast (slow down)
I think I love so I told him by the in a text message (uh-huh)
He wrote back, Me Too.. I was just sittin' here thinkin' bout you
I know I want him but I can't and I shouldn't
Tried to put my phone down, damn! but I couldn't
Stayed on the phone with him all night long
Text Message when I'm gone"

By far the best verse in the song lol.

St. Louis -- Spring Break day 1 & 2

First day I arrived to the "WashU family reunion" filled with a plethora of tasty foods and chaos i enjoyed myself nonetheless. I'm sure that post previous to this was a huge bummer but everyone has their days... hour... couple of minutes... hell moments. Luckily it passed <_< onto the fun. Last night was awesome filled with a bunch of yelling over a game of apples to apples... who knew that a game could get so intense... Then today we saw the wonderful play Fabulations or re-education of Undine:) cant wait to see what the week holds in store for me :D

... just a rant slightly

I don’t really know exactly how I feel right now. The feeling that I have that is festering deep within my chest is more like a deep open wound. All I can truly ask myself is ‘what the fuck am I doin here?’ I jumped up on a limb to take a trip that I was completely unsure about in the first place. Then again I have to take into consideration my constant urge to doubt myself. Yet I always feel that my suspicions are confirmed by the actions of others. This leads me to a plethora of conclusions far too complex to express. Although I am not alone I feel completely alone. As is I have nowhere to go and as the years have progressed the people that I did have and considered friends have slowly but surely began to diminish. Each friend has moved on and built significantly stronger and more meaningful friendships with others. As for me, Instead of creating the same with others I am not. I am still the same little girl who wishes that her friends would at least pretend to play with her. Though she has begun and mended each connection between those friends she has proven to be insignificant to each cause. This leaves her casted aside for the predators at their own discretion. Alone… again. This mood has to pass soon right? I sure as hell hope so.

Spring Break/ BIRTHDAY!

So I'm officially syked that my spring break is definitely right around the corner... why should you care? hell if I know... I just know I'm headed out to St. Louis and I am in the full mind set of having a freakin ball ! yay me lmao...

Another night, another nightmare


And he has me once again
tear stricken eyes
I don’t know this man
yet he won’t relinquish his hold
And all I can hear was the shit I was told

And cry because I knew better
Momma told me so
But he just won’t. let. go
And this man I don’t know
Even if he speaks as if he knows me
So blinded I can’t see

I just… wanna yell
But the moment I opened my mouth it was like the words came out & fell
And crashed to the floor as I heard the creaking of my bedroom door
Then im up… Covered in sweat… tears in my eyes. It was just another bad dream
My sister came in because she heard my scream

Ridiculous I know…
Somethings gotta give I gotta go!
I have no peace
And even though it makes me cry
Writing seems to be my only release

And now amongst all the things he took he now has my sanity
I don’t sleep.
So out of my skin I can’t be me
A bound prisoner in my own mind
I need help of some kind
Another night, another nightmare

See you don’t understand
Every night I lay down in this bed
And unlike you these images swirl in MY head
He’s all I see and I am constantly reminded of what he’s taken from me
Another night, another nightmare

Of feeling as if I am bound to a chair
Mangled hair watching a movie I’d rather not see.
A witness to the ordeal that’s happening to me
Yet I do not MOVE
Instead I watch helplessly because no one was there
And kept it to myself because I’d rather not share
Another night, another nightmare

And where does that leave me?
Stranded on the bridge between rational & insanity
Bound by shackles waiting for freedom of mind
Hopeless because I’m running out of time
Another night, another nightmare

I’ve become so tired & some days I feel like can’t go on
But because of what he did to me I AM STRONG
Another night, another nightmare
And somehow I’m still here

rain...

drip... drop... drip... drop... drip... drop...

See, in all actuality I am not really a very big fan of the rain whatsoever. Unless I am wrapped tightly in a cover in my apartment with a good movie and maybe some tea. LMAO. I know that came off somewhat as a old soul but what can I say... I like being comfortable and relaxed. Guess I feel a little different about it today. Although it has been raining all week and ruining most of my plans. I guess you can say that I have slightly gotten over it. It seems that tonight the rain is having a completely different effect on me. Rather than a deep seated urge to hibernate I'm in a seemingly artistic mood. In the mood for some much needed writing and maybe more. You may continue to torture the skies for now rain.

"Sometimes it's soft as a misty rain that gently touches my soul"

Letter to daddy

“It’s okay.” “It’s nothing.” “I’m fine.”
LIE
Contrary to popular belief what I feel I can’t deny
Cause it’s not okay. It’s everything. I’m not fine.

Though you hear what want to
And clearly there is nothing I can say or do
For I am nothing but a child of your bearing
And sadly it seems you’re far from caring

Though I know that’s not the case
And just maybe I’m a little off base
I mean I could be wrong
You could’ve heard me & cared all along

It’s just I never saw it in your face
Then when it came to priorities I took last place
I’m sure you have no idea how that feels
C’mon now let’s keep it real

Big star you are!
Ha, Mr. Football star
For the record it really SUCKED as a child
Kinda felt like an unsolved cold case that never got filed

Fun Fact #1: playing mommy is only fun when it’s pretend
But this childhood I could never mend
I guess the past is the past
And these tears seemed to have dried too damn fast

Oh wait, but big girls don’t cry right?
Big girls sleep peacefully every night.
Then what does that make me?
What exactly am I destined to be?

ehhhh

so what i'm a bit tarnished... all i have to say it...
