up late with too much on my mind...

currently listening to... Eric Benet, You're The Only One
i actually logged into MySpace tonight and started looking around at people's profiles (on my Friends list). it is truly amazing to see the number of people i went to high school and college with, who have settled into the adult life. i'm talking marriage and children. house in the suburbs, 2-car garage and a dog. me, i'm running as fast and as far away as i can from that reality. i assume that i'm not the type to sit back and slow down. i always have to be on-the-go and busy as a bee. it is safe to assume that a life with a family is nothing but busy, but just the thought... gets my mind racing and pictures of a suburbian prison with picket fences instead of iron bars, pops into my head. that's not a knock on those who chose that life, but i am just not ready to take those steps, and i might never be.

currently listening to... The Game feat/Travis Barker, Dope Boyz
stress is a killer! it raises your blood pressure, causes headaches and body aches and can cause you to feel like you are losing your mind. is it ever a wonder in some homicide cases, the detectives come to the conclusion that the suspect "just snapped" under extreme pressures from life and work? some people deal with it in predictable ways: exercise, alcohol, drugs. there is also religion, the written words and confiding in friends/seeking advice. i seek solace in music. what i am listening to at any given moment, usually reflects my mood. if it's loud and obnoxious... chances are, i'm pissed off. if you hear some slow jams... i'm probably feeling melancholy. if it's upbeat... i'm in a normal, happy, perky mood. but if you hear some Luther or the O'Jays... look out now, cuz i'm in a sensual mood and someone is about to GET DA BIZNESS!

currently listening to... Mario, Music For Love
when this song came on, immediately my mind flew to the bedroom. i'm not one of those women who hides the kind of person they are behind closed doors, but i'm not an open book either. my close friends and i have conversations about all types of topics from across the sexual spectrum and i'm usually on the receiving end of questions (from technique, props and opinions on people). i have no problem sharing the knowledge i acquired throughout my life, but not everyone is privy to the little minute details in my life. these conversations, i think, keep me and my friends from a sheltered existence and also helps us open our minds to things that are out there that we may have never considered.

currently listening to... Ne-Yo, Let's Just Be
is there someone out there for everyone? is everyone destined to find the "one true love of this life"? do people still actively look for the person that they are meant to be with, or do they just go with the flow and hope that fate matches them up? i don't have an opinion either way on this topic, but i am not one to "look". i believe that you can't spend your life searching for something when you have no idea what it is that you are looking for.

currently listening to... The Ting Tings, Shut Up and Let Me Go
