Last year I was  motivated to workout and get in shape. I found time to workout in my busy schedule was it easy, no. Now after a yr of only going to grad school full-time I am back into the work field. Now I need to find balance between working out, going to school, and working.

Congrats to Ms. Becky Hammon for becoming the NBA’s first full time female assistant coach. (They must have seen our previous post “Who’s Missing?” in the athletic world.)

“Hammon called her role as a pioneer “a tremendous honor.” But, she added of Popovich (Spurs Coach): “Honestly, I don’t think he gives two cents that I’m a woman. And I don’t want to be hired because I’m a woman.” The important point, Hammon said, was, “I’m getting hired because I’m capable.” (NYT).

Breaking boundaries because she is qualified and happens to be a woman not because she is a woman who happens to be qualified.

Warning: Back 2 School Sale

It’s time to go BACK TO SCHOOL!! YAYY!! Some of you may not be as enthusiastic and I am not sure why I am considering I am not in school. I think a wave of nostalgia just hit me as I remember back to school shopping and seeing my friends after a long summer away. For now, I am content to be satisfied with Tax Free shopping and discounted prices on summer clothes. However, as much as I would like to go shopping at every store that states they have a sale, I don’t. Why? Because it’s a scam. Let me explain.

I refused to be disrespected in a relationship. When you reached the level of not caring about my feeling the relationship is over. I am not going to have the next chick step to me like I am irrelevant.

The level of disrespect in today generation is astonishing. It’s to the point that side chicks, and jump off feel they can step over boundaries. What happen to monogamy? Everybody wants to be in an open relationship, friends with benefits or having no title. Yet the people who think they are in a monogamous relationship is getting the most disrespect from their partner. Then you have Chris Brown song “Loyal” yet a lot of people just can’t be loyal these days.
