The Year of Transition – that is what I knew 2006 to be from January 1st, 2006. I graduated from college. My sister turned 21 this year, and went to Europe for the first time (lucky bitch). My father turned 50 (doesn’t look a day over 35), my great aunt 80 (doesn’t look a day over 50), and one of my younger cousins, 18. More than that, this Christmas was the first Christmas in a long time that my father, sister and myself spent together – at Disney no less!! All of the loves of my life granted to me in one unforgettable weekend! I even had a corny moment (at the light show at Epcot) when I almost cried with joy at the thought. Lol. I am indeed blessed.
However, to me, next year is indeed a blur. Even though I am very much looking forward to Carnival 2k7 (!!!!), there are so many things that I am uncertain about. Will I pass (or even take for that matter) the CPA Exam, when I am not studying? At all?? Will I continue working at the company with whom I’m presently employed? Will I continue to be an accountant? Will I finally build up the nerve to work in the field I truly desire to work in (music)? Will I let my beloved instrument (the steel pan) take me places, so that I can do the same for the instrument? If I do somehow manage to get into the music industry, will I end up being the voice of reason which stands for truth, justice, love, respect and intellect? Or will I sell out and “talk” in my songs about how “delicious” I am or how “wound up” I should get about being “promiscuous”? On that note, what is with all the females talking empty shit in their songs, when all you really want to listen to are the catchy beats? I guess they decided to take that approach beyond the realm of rap, or what is sacrilegiously referred to as “hip-hop.” At least TALENTED stalwarts like one of my vocal idols Christina Aguilera stuck to her guns and still SINGS! But I digress. I pray to God that when the time comes for me to live my dream (if it is indeed His will), that I will recognize it, and grab it by the horns.

2006 was basically the same for me, a year of transition but the changes were happening to other people; my best friend had a baby, my husband got a new job, my sister in law got married and pregnant,one of my friends migrated and got his dream job and in essence I stayed the same.. well except for the blog I started which brought changes as well.
For 2007 I already vowed that it will be the year about "me". Too many things I wanted to do or should have done this year I had to place on hold because unforeseen events made them impossible to realise, but next year I already have plans in place to do the things I missed out on this year.
I hope you also get to live your dream in 2007!
whats up girl?
All the best to you in 2007. I reading about people thinking you gay - don't mind them. I 24 too and single as well, lvoing it - who says we need to tie ourselves down with a man at this point in our lives, if I did I bet you my changes of reaching Carnival every year would drop by half (if not more)
Let me know if I can link your blog with mine.
Take care
buubs
Hey I was in Disney too. The Illuminations at Epcot gave me the same kind of feeling. My pores were raised and when they started to play Let there be peace on earth man.. that was special.
It wasn't corny at all.
lol Kevian. Let me point out real quick that this pic was taken at someone else's house...so the chips aren't mine! lol. I'm playing in the Imp section of Tribe. What band/section are you in this year?
Icahwait, you good yes :D. Doh get me wrong, I LOVE the IllumiNations show, which is precisely why we went to Epcot. With the "Let there be peace on earth" song, I was surprised they played a song I knew. lol
