Where have I been?!

Good morning readers!

I know some of you have been wondering where I have been and why I haven't been posting regularly. Well, here's a quick update:


I have been getting ready for some big and new changes in my life. If you follow me on Facebook, you know that I have been applying and interviewing for new jobs. I have also been under a lot of stress from all aspects of life. After countless let downs, I finally ended up getting the job that I wanted. I will get paid more as well as have great benefits. It will also allow me to be at home a little bit more with my son. So that is one thing that I have accomplished! I have a few more things in store and I will be updating you all along the way. But, for now, I will have 2 weeks of free time, so I will do my best to get back to posting regularly!

Thanks for being patient with me on this journey all!

XOXO,

Talk of the Town: STEPHEN COLLINS VICTIM FINALLY COMES FORWARD!!

Here we are again with Stephen Collins and his skeletons that are finally coming out of the closet!

TMZ reported and confirmed today that he is now under investigation by a third law enforcement agency for allegedly molesting/exposing himself to young girls. The victim herself came forward to file the complaint! FINALLY! The woman was 13 at the time and has now gone to law investigators with her allegations!

According to TMZ, sources say that the incident involves a relative of a neighbor during the summer of1983. On the released audiotape of Collins confession, he stated that he later "apologized" to the victim years later. The NY PD referred the investigation to the L.A. County Sheriff's Dept. because the incident occurred there. The investigation centers around indecent exposure ans the crime of annoying or molesting a child. Collins is listed as a "suspect."

I really hope that something is done about this. It is very unfortunate, however, that it has been this long before anyone has said or done anything about this! 

What are your thoughts on this matter?

What's On My Mind

Good afternoon readers!

I know that I haven't been posting any of my daily good morning posts/quote of the days. I am currently working on some things right now in my personal life which kind of takes away my blog posting time. However, I will have more time soon to get back to my regular posting! Also, I have to say thank you to everyone giving me support, commenting, and reading my blog! I truly, honestly, appreciate it!

Right now, I am currently under A LOT of stress. I have been keeping busy ans keeping my mind off of things though. Usually, I am great with stress, but it just seems like lately, NOTHING I do or want has been working out in my favor. The constant let downs, are starting to take a toll on me for the worst. Now, I am usually a happy person and I absolutely LOVE to laugh and I LOVE making other people laugh. But, recently, I feel like my humor is just a mask and it's really not helping me feel better anymore. I am not in a deep, dark, place of depression though. But I am noticing a change in my attitude towards certain things. I am also running out of optimism. I do however, turn to God, and continue to pray to him for guidance. I know that this is just a temporary down, but I am ready for this stormy cloud to leave me.

So, with all of this being said, I want to know what you all do to handle and battle stress? I am out of options.

Thank you again for reading! Please don't hesitate to comment and give me your thoughts and suggestions!

XOXO,

Talk of the Town: Mark Zuckerberg Donated MILLIONS to the CDC to HELP Fight Ebola Crisis!; Magic Mike XXXXXXXXXL!

The creator of Facebook is willing to do whatever it takes to help STOP the Ebola epidemic.

Mark Zuckerberg, along with his wife Priscilla, gave the Center for Disease Control Foundation 25 MILLION DOLLARS! He says he wants to stop the epidemic from becoming a long-term crisis like HIV or polio have been. Zuckerberg claims that money is the fastest way to get help to front line responders. He states,"These people are on the ground setting up care centers, training local staff, identifying Ebola cases and much more."

Way to go Mark and Priscilla! Maybe more celebrities should get on board and donate as well!

Ebola has killed 4,000 or more and infected more than twice that number of people mainly in West Africa making it the BIGGEST health crisis in modern times according to some health care officials.

MMMMM! Yes, LADIES! These fine men have been recording Magic Mike XXL in Savannah, Georgia! If you seen the last one, the new one will be 10 times better! MORE dancing and MORE eye candy! Yesterday, Channing Tatum told Tamron Hall from Today's Show, "This is the Super Bowl version of what the first one was," the Book of Life star, 34, said of Magic Mike XXL. "I'm dancing probably five times as much in this one."(US Magazine) We all know that Channing Tatum is probably the BEST dancer out of the whole cast so I am excited to see what he has in store! The MAIN characters I am interested in seeing are, Channing Tatum, Matt Bomer, Alex Petyfer, Joe Manganiello, and Donald Glover(Childish Gambino). I DON'T care about the female cast mates so, I didn't even bother looking them up. This movie is set for a 2015 release! Who is excited??!

Relationship Chronicles: 6

Good afternoon readers!

Guys, this post is for you! Are having trouble with dating or just can't seem to make it past the first date? Well, look no further because I am about to school you on some things that you may be doing wrong!

5 Nasty Habits That Are NOT Attractive To Women

1. Complimenting: Yep, that's right. I said "complimenting". If done correctly, this can get you far. But if you're having problems in the dating field. you're doing it wrong I'm sure. Instead of saying things like, "You look nice" say things like,"You are beautiful!". Instead of saying "You're outfit looks pretty." say this, "You're outfit looks nice and draws the right amount of attention to you." Don't be generic with your compliments or say things just because you "THINK" that is what she wants to hear. Actually mean the things you say. 
2. SPLITTING THE BILL: Ok, true enough in this day and age, there are a lot of women out there that strive to live equally with men. However, splitting the bill is NOT one of those times. I believe, that men should at least suck it and pay the bill for the first 2 or 3 dates. Even if she makes more money than you, this gesture will score you brownie points and show her that "CHIVALRY ISN'T DEAD".  I know, I know, sometimes you can't afford to do dinner and a movie with drinks all the time. But, if that is the case, you need to go somewhere else. Perhaps a romantic walk on the beach? That's free!
3. Trying to solve her problems: Women are "emotional fixers" and we want to make YOU feel better. Men are "physical fixers" and if there's a problem, you want to fix it. We know this already. However, unless we ask for your help, don't automatically assume that we can't figure out our own problems. Some women need that, but most of us don't. I am not saying don't give us a foot massage after we complain about being on our feet all day. I am saying to empathize (the act of understanding someones problems or feelings) and support us. 
4. Text Issues: A text is a great alternative to talking on the phone. In some cases, I would rather text than hear someones actual voice(I know, I have issues.) Actually, I think that most people might actually prefer to text. However, DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT text future plans, future dates, and full fledged conversations unless you just CAN'T call. Those things should almost always be done over the phone. Texts are meant for short hand messages and little thoughts during the day. Like, "thinking of you" or "I miss you" are text worthy and she would really enjoy seeing that while she is at work or running errands. But don't text her the itinerary for the weekend you have planned together. Also, we are all grown adults here and although you feel "cool" being able to use emojis on your new IPhone, don't turn into a teenager and send them nonstop. You will look like a teenaged girl and that is not masculine or even sexy, so STOP. We also have auto correct for a reason. This, "Ay girl. How U doin?" Or this, "WASSUP? WYD?" are definitely UNACCEPTABLE!
5. Calories: Unless you both are "gym rats", you better not bring up your caloric intake at the table. Women do that when we are on lunch dates with our friends, NOT with our boyfriends or dates. Doing this, will bring on a sense of judgment whether it was intentional or not. No one wants to feel that way, so STOP IT! Enjoy your burgers and fries so she can enjoy hers too!

Well guys, I hope you enjoyed and I hope you learned something as well! .

Talk of the Town: Stephen Collins Molestation Allegations Getting Even More Bizarre!

This morning, TMZ reported that Stephen Collins' soon to be ex wife has accused him of using his fame from the show, "7th Heaven" to gain the the trust of two parents so that he could molest their child! If this allegation is true, it means that he would have molested ANOTHER CHILD back in 2007! Keep in mind, the incidents Collins confessed to on audiotape all occured no later than 1984.

TMZ obtained an email that Faye Grant sent Collins where she stated this allegation. Grants says in the email,"prosecutors love 'special circumstances". First off, how does TMZ get this stuff??! Now, if you know anything about the key factors of a pedophile, gaining the trust of the parents to get close to their victim is definitely one of them. This allows access and allow time with the child. Scary right?!

A source connected to Collins told TMZ, "The notion that Stephen used his role on "7th Heaven" for any improper purpose is completely false and just another example of Faye fabricating a story to gain an advantage in the divorce proceedings." I don't know how true this is, but this all is unraveling and making Faye Grant look more and more shady when she could have reported him YEARS AGO!
