Such an awesome poem my group dynamics teacher made us read the first week of school!! Its really not that hard to understand so I shouldnt have to explain it!

AUTOBIOGRAPHY IN FIVE SHORT CHAPTERS
by Portia Nelson

I

I walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk
I fall in.
I am lost ... I am helpless.
It isn't my fault.
It takes me forever to find a way out.

II

I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I pretend I don't see it.
I fall in again.
I can't believe I am in the same place
but, it isn't my fault.
It still takes a long time to get out.

III

I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I see it is there.
I still fall in ... it's a habit.
my eyes are open
I know where I am.
It is my fault.
I get out immediately.

IV

I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it.

V

I walk down another street.

Silly Girls [A three part series]

These past few weeks I have really been noticing the epedemic of stupid girls. Thus I have put it upon my self to address this issue. And because I cant write all I want to write in one blog, it will be a three part blog post.
The three topics will be:
-"So your really gonna go back to him?"
-"You give it up so easy you aint even foolin him!"
-"Compliment him, dont duplicate him"

[Just a warning in advance.....please dont take anything I say personally! I am just stating whats on my mind!]

Epic Fail

Dear John Mayer,

I went on facebook last week,and I saw alot of my African American female friends writing alot of bitter statuses about you. So I quickly googled it up! And low and behold you made some quite "Interesting" comments. And two that I found questionable was your comparison of your genitalia to a white supremacist, and your use of the "N-word." Now John, because I love you so much I had to look into what you exactly said and the context in which you said it. And in a nutshell you stated, that black women do not approach you and you believes that is due to your penis' white supremacist characteristics. You also state that you dont have a "Hood Pass" because a hood pass is equivalent to a "Nigger Pass." Ughhhhhh! John I was supporting you till the N-word slipped out. Honestly I completely understand and agree with that comment, because you even state yourself a "Nigger Pass" comes with the struggle of being African American, and you nor any white person has gone through that. But you DID NOT have to say "Nigger", you should have just censored your statement and said "N-word."

Do I think your racist? NO! Because you have worked with some of the greatest African Americans in the industry. And you even performed at the great musician in the world, the late Micheal Jackson funeral, and I don't think you could do all that if you were racist. And it takes a very sick and evil person to be racist, and I don't see that in you. Do I think your a freakin idiot for saying the N-word? Heck Yes! And I am dissappointed in your choice of words in that interview? Obviously! But am I going to stop listening to your music? More than likely not...

PS: You have lost alot of black females fans, and the only way to fix that is if you do a collaboration with Trey Songz, the person black woman love the most! So please do that quickly before your fans disappear. KK!

Sincerly,
Janee

Thanks everyone =)

Is it me....?

In the past 24 hours I have had two conversations with two friends that stated that our friendship has drifted away. And the thing is with neither do I have harsh feelings against, but they feel like Im not the friend I use to be. Which actually bothers me because I am not one to start acting differently towards friends. So I start to think to myself, Is it true? Am I not treating some of my friends right?

Well you see, I hate texting because I usually forget to text back, and I dont like phone convos. Which then leaves me with only talking to people who are constantly around me. And to add to that I am extremely busy, I have a job, school, SGA, honor societies, and a strong 6 hours of sleep to get, and alot of times those things block me from continuing a stable friendship with people.

So is it my fault for being preoccupied all the time?

I hope not...

I really just want to keep the "Real" Friends around me close, and start eliminating my fake friends, cause they could easily be replaced with genuine ones. I dont have alot of time to spend with friends, but I am truly going to make a huge effort to work on the relationships with the friends that I hold dear to my heart!

<3 <3

Don't know how to act!

Finally got my computer webcam to work, to take regular pics! So I kind of went "Ham" lol

40 days...complete!

I woke up this morning and I saw my roommate eating a poptart and I said, "I can eat that now!" Then she said, "you probably wount!" And she was completely right, I have absolutely no desire to eat any unhealthy things now. Which is kind of crazy cause I thought I was truly in love with food! But God is sooooo Good that he has taken away that desire from me!
These 40 days of fasting has been a life changer and definitely one of the best things I have ever done with my life! Spending the last 40 days simply forcing myself to focus and rely on God for the strength, provision, and wisdom, has truly made a better person!
Cause honestly alot of horrible things have happened to me, in the past 40 days, and without having a good connection with God, I would have honestly had a mental break down! BUT GOD!

I thank God for these 40 days! And the blessings that have come from it!

=)

I have no clue how much weight i have lost but i am feeling so good. My energy is wayyy up and my zeal right now is indescribable! And my tummy is looking better day by day =)

Snowed In!

Honestly I have had the best weekend in the World! I spent it snowed-in my apartment with some of the coolest people in the world with mucho food, music, board games, and alot more fun stuff =) Sleepover for 3 days straight, so of course it was fun!!
MEMORIES are wayyyy to crazyyy! Yall lucky there was no pictures taken, we wasnt trying to have any evidence, of the things we were doing lol =)

&& eventhough someone slammed into my car and messed up my rear, my eventful weekend made up for it all!

Also I dont know if its me, but doesnt it seem to you like Bmore can not handle snow. I drove downtown earlier with my best friend, and we didnt drive on any roads that was snow free. Granted this is the most snow I have seen since I was 8. But that doesnt give the city the OK, not to have main roads like Cold Spring, North Ave, Saratoga etc not cleared out, especcially when they have had 3 days. SMH

But the only good thing is that I havent had school since Thursday, and they cancelled school today and tomorrow, but the bad thing about that is the teachers will be cramming soooo much info into our head to catch up.



&& they are expecting 10-20 inches of snow tomorrow to Wednesday....ie there will probably not be school till MAYBE Friday

So I will definitely be taking this time to get caught up with my school work and readings!

Enjoy the snow week =)

"In love with another man"

Such a great video!! I forgot how wonderful it really was!

Formspring.... SMH

I made formspring like a month ago, and I never went back on it because I kinda thought it was silly, but this morning I got woken up by an email, stating that i had numerous formspring messages that I needed to respond to. And then I see them, and boyyyyy were these people hating, actually I think its just one person who wrote all the questions who just happens to be an Ultra-HATER and clearlyyy doesnt know me.
For some reason it wount let me respond to them on formspring, so i will just write the question on here and just respond.

1. Do you consider yourself and individual.. or do you rely on others to be yourself???
I am VERY much an indivual, cause I bet you havent met another person like me! And the only person I rely on is Jesus, why would I need other people to be myself?

2. Why do you try to act so "hood"?... it gets annoying ....
Your clearly a person who doesnt know me, i am VERY far from hood....i drink tea 2 times a day, i listen to gospel music ever morning, i adore musical theatre and im from freakin Montgomery County....please tell me how i am hood cause i have never wanted to nor attempted to be hood! Now please proceed to sit alllll the way down!

3. Why do u always say "i love you" to people that u like just meet!?
Cause I love people...duhh! My family and close friends know that when i tell other people i love them that its on a totally different level than when i tell them.....are you just bitter cause i dont tell you I love you!

4. You still havent answered my question about why u are such a people pleaser...?
You IDIOT! you never asked me about being a people pleaser. And yes, I do try to please other people by generous acts and nice jesters, but i dont change my personality to please people, cause i am going to be ME regardles!

5. Are you happy with the person you are?
To be honest.....I am soo happy with the person I am! I wake up every morning happy and blessed to be Janee Thames. Are you Happy with the person you are?

6. I think its interesting that you havent answered my question yet.. you must be scared to be honest with yourself?
Your clearly a freakin Psycho! Hop off my formspring account, cause your clearly on here more than I am. I havent been on this thing since I made it and i am just getting to respond to your STUPID questions. You clearly have issues if you are going on my formspring to ask me these stupid questions, that have CLEARLY been bothering you. If there is a problem, facebook msg me or call me, cause i am a busy women and i dont have time to be dealing with your own self issues, on the most retarded social website EVER. Ohhhhh and for the record I am clearly not scared to be honest with myself!

Be Blessed!

Generous People!

The snow outside is CRAZYYY! It was literally a blizzard last night, and I woke up this morning its still coming down!
So of course there was no church today, but instead of showing an old sermon on our church website, my pastor instead did a live Ustream from his house, and it was a wonderful message.
Here are the main points from it
-Generous people, are people of divine order
-Generous people have an inner beauty
-Generous people help without expecting anything at all
-Generous people go above and beyond the call of duty
-Generous people always recieve an immediate reward
-Generous people dont help just for long term implications
-Generous people are a people of faith

Listen!

Does it seem like sometimes your mother gives you a life lesson without even asking for it, or without really trying to give a lesson...?
Well my mother did that recently..
It was the night of the Grammys and she calls me saying, "Did you see Maxwell's performance or Beyonce almost falling?" I laughed and said yes Mom and then we talked about the Grammys for about 40 mins. Then I asked her why she was watching the Grammys when she was suppose to be at work. She proceeds to tell me how she went to go check on a patient who was in the hospital on a sucide watch. She said she sat and talked to him and watched the Grammys for about 2 hours. She said he was so tired of the other nurses that came in to check on him, because they made him feel like he was crazy and was judging him every time they came in. He told my mother she was the first nurse to just come in, sit and listen. My mother then told me, "Janee, sometimes people just need someone to listen to, without any judging or opinions."

See... my mother had no idea how much just saying that impacted my life, because sometimes I find myself expressing my feelings about stuff to my friends when really thats not what they need at the time, because most times, friends just need someone to listen to. Because they have everyone else already judging them, adding someone else who they call a friend will just make them feel worse. Im not saying your not suppose to tell your friends the truth, but there is a time and place for everything, but when your friend is clearly hurt, making the situation worse is not going to make them feel better! There are alternative ways to get through to a friend, but trying to hit them when they are already down is no good!
Just a thought =)

How about a Thank You!

"Give thanks to the LORD.."[Psalm 107:1]

I really dont want to preach, I promise, but I am tired of people doing all this awesome things, or God taking them out a horrible place in their lives and they dont take time to thank God.
The Bible tells of the story of the 10 leapers. This story occurred when Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem. Ten lepers came to Jesus and He told them to go and show themselves to the Temple priests who, according to back then customs, used to verify the healing of lepers. On the way to the priests they were miraculously healed. But the sad thing is, after Jesus healed all ten of them, only one....JUST ONE...came back to say Thank you.
God has blessed some people with talents beyond belief, and they dont thank God. Better yet God has taken people out of deathly situations and dieases and you still dont thank Him.
Come on now...you got to give honor where honor is due!

Im just sayin'
