I know, I know. Where have I been?!
Everywhere and NOWHERE!. lol Life is good. So much has happened and I'm not so sure I have the time to fill you in. I'll do my best. Where do I begin?!
Did I tell you guys that I have a car now?! I guess I got it about a month or so ago. I don't really remember. It's a 2003 Ford Focus. It's cute as a button. My very own little vagina car. lol Sorry.... I think I heard Will Ferrell call a small car that once. Anyway, the car drives very well. I'm happy. I actually get to enjoy my apartment now. Before my car, I spent a lot of time at my friend's apartment because it was more convenient when it was time for me to head to work at midnight. Now when I get off, I can go home!!! ::sigh of relief:: Wait, wait! Before you take that the wrong way, I had a blast being with my friends. I just wished I were home instead sometimes. I mean really, why pay rent if you're never there, ya know?!
Speaking of work... Did I tell you guys about my new job?! I work in Franklin, Tn for a company called MedSolutions. It's a lot like the work I was doing before only I work during the day, am making more money, and am OFF ON THE WEEKENDS!!! Talk about a blessing from God! I couldn't be happier. Oh yea, and I can work as much overtime as I want. Lovin' it!
Did I tell you guys that I'm single now?! Oh... maybe I did. I think I was too bitter to talk about it in detail before. Although I'm far from bitter now, I'll spare you guys the details. Looking back now though, I realize that break up was for the best. We both needed time to get ourselves together. I mean, I was literally going through hell. I wasn't at a place where I could be a good girlfriend. I was so unhappy and it showed. I was overwhelmed with LIFE... I just didn't know how to focus on anything, but my situation. Even after we broke up, I don't remember ever missing him. I had too much going on. I think the other day I finally realized that he was gone. How jacked up is that?! I DO remember being upset with him because I felt DUMPED. lol It seemed like the worse time EVER to do that, but honestly it was the BEST time. Sometimes I think about us possibly working it out, but who knows. Friends for now works for me. Relationships tend to distract me from what I NEED to be doing anyway. I do miss him though. ::shrugs:: Anyway, he and I are still cool. We talk randomly every now and then. He's doing great as well.
Another ex-boyfriend and I started hanging out again. It has been great catching up and honestly I needed him. I needed some questions answered, some closure. I have that now. He and I don't talk as often as we once were, but I think that's probably for the best. I don't want to ruin what could possibly be a good friendship.
Did I tell you that I bought a new guitar?! Of course not, I just bought it the other day! lol Now that life is looking up, I decided that I was ready to play again. One problem... She was broken. Remember when I had her painted?! Well the guy ended up sanding off a very important part of my guitar: the nut. That is the very piece that keeps the strings off of the neck of the guitar. BUMMER. I went to Guitar Center to have her fixed and they told me that I would be better off buying a new one. Luckily, they were running a sale on their guitars. I got a really good deal on a guitar and new soft case. Looks like Lady Penne will be mounted on my wall now. :( My first baby! I nearly cried at the thought of never playing her again. So yea, the new guitar is cute. It plays well and will remain nameless until a name comes to mind. I will start guitar lessons soon. Time to get back on this thing 4real! I'll keep you updated on that one.
Anyway, like I said... Life is good.
I've bored you guys enough. We'll talk again soon!
Praying the best for you all. Take it from me... GOD IS REAL AND WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU!
Until next time,
Stix

Get to know me...
Wanna know what would make this blog cool?!... A laptop with a web camera!!! I even imagine a cool, random pic of myself at the top of this... but unfortunately, I'm writing this from my computer at work... smh...Done dreaming and moving on!
Ok... Do you really know me?!... probably not... and since this is the case, I'm going to answer a bunch of random questions that i just got from an interview that I watched of one my favorite artist, Darnell Levine..
And here it goes..
1.) my happy place?!
-- On the floor in my living room, surrounded by bridal magazines and junk food! :)
-- painting my nails (2nd happy place...)
-- drinking a caramel frappe from McDonald's (3rd happy place... lol)
2.) If you could only take 3 things with you to a desert, what would they be?
-- umm... my guitar, a really cool laptop, and my Ipod. I would rather go alone... I don't want to be tempted to have sex with or eat them because I'm starving! lol *shrugs*
3.) favorite place to shop?!
-- Walmart... this is pretty new!! It used to be forever 21, urban outfitters, and target... Things changed when my money started disappearing. lol... I never thought I'd be saying this... but I LOVE shopping at Walmart... Glad I gave it a chance.
4.) If you could have a celebrity friend, who would it be?!
India Arie, of course and Nicki Minaj. <-- sorry. Couldn't pick just one.
5.) favorite candy?!
-- that changes.. right now it's Hershey's Nuggets... the toffee and almond kind!
6.) least favorite thing to eat?!
-- fruit and salad. *gagging* I've been wanting to give them another chance though. That may happen soon.
7.) If given one million dollars, how would you spend it?!
-- TITHE AND CHARITY first (that way, the money will never run out) save a little, pay off some debt, bless who God says bless, shop, and REPEAT because the money will never run out!
8.) favorite word?!
-- I have a few: dude, cool beans, and KAT <-- unfortunately!
9.) If you could sit and talk with anyone in the world, who would it be!?
--DEFINITELY can't pick just one... I would plan a brunch with some of my favorite women: Oprah, India Arie, Cheryl Wray, Michelle Obama, Phylicia Rashad, Maya Angelou, my mom, both grand moms, Wendy Williams, and Nicki Minaj. <-- lol at the last two... they are really smart women though. They would fit right in!
10.) favorite restaurant?!
-- McDonald's... yep, even after everything I've heard about their food! *shrugs* It's good. shoot.
11.) Do you believe in boyfriend/girlfriend relationships?!
-- for myself? Nope... For some reason I get too caught up in the other person and lose myself... I'll date occasionally and let God work out the rest.
12.) Dream career?!
-- a successful wedding planner!!
13.) If you could live anywhere, where would it be?!
-- NEEEWWW YYYOOORRRKKKK
14.) Who/what inspires you?... Who/what keeps you going?!
-- God, family and friends, and LOVE! <---hopeless romantic, learning to accept that.
15.) If you really knew me,
-- You'd know that I LOVE being a girl. I grew up thinking that being "girl-y" made you weak. I've learned that being in love, painting my nails, trying on dresses, and planning my imaginary wedding are things that make me feel complete!
16.) I wish...
--I were more creative! I wish I could sit in my living room with a canvas, a paintbrush, and have at it! I imagine that being very relaxing!
17.) If you could vacation anywhere, where would you go?!
-- umm that changes, but right now.. I would say, Miami! I just want to go to the beach and chill! lame, right?! Ask me again in about a month.. It'll be something different. I'm sure.
18.) favorite artist?!
India Arie, Jason Mraz, Bruno Mars, B.O.B., Nicki Minaj, Darnell Levine, Stevie Wonder, PJ Morton, Tweet, Brandy, Salt N Pepa, Reba McEntire, Common, Andre 3000... I love music... I could do this forever!! I love these people and many more for more reasons than one!
19.) favorite color?!
--lavender... It used to be purple... but that was every one's favorite color, and I HATE being like other people! lol Lavender is prettier anyway!
20.) If a documentary was done on your life, what would the name of it be?!
--The Randomness of Stix, of course! :)
Until next time,

Life is good.
So much has been going on lately.... I'll do my best to update you guys.
I haven't updated in forever because I couldn't stand to look at my blog. I didn't like what I saw and I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with it... so I just lived and neglected to blog. Sorry....
Here I am... with a new layout and updating my blog. I don't know where to start so I'll just type.
Life after my wreck has been so hard. I've had to learn to put my ego aside and ask for rides when I would much rather have a ride of my own. I had to depend on my friends, my mentor, my boyfriend at the time, and just go with the flow. smh... The lady that I hit tried to sue me for $15,000. lol I still don't understand that one. I mean, I'm the one who walked away with a totaled car. Her cousin drove her car from the scene. Where the heck did $15,000 come from?! Medical bills?!... Girl please. My money has been tight. I haven't been able to shop the way I want. I have a new apartment that isn't decorated the way I want and I DON'T HAVE CABLE!!! What the heezy?! Sounds bad, right?!
Well, I've been patient. God and I have talked about it on several occasions. All I knew to do was be patient, have faith, and watch God work. Looks like things are turning around... I mean, I had to file bankruptcy to keep the lady from garnishing my wages. I was once a bit upset about this, but I've learned to find the positive in the situation. God hasn't left me. In fact, God is really working over time for me. My credit was already jacked... The bankruptcy just may work out for my good. Scratch that... It WILL work out for my good. My friends were right there to help. My mom has been sick, so I was able to bring her truck back with me after visiting a couple of weekends ago. I was offered a job that pays more, with weekends and holidays off. I wasn't expecting that at all. It just fell in my lap one day.
See God is good. If I had any control, I wouldn't have written my story like this, but I can honestly say that I am happy with the way things are going. I've learned so much in this time and I still have joy! I AM a bit shocked by a thing or two and never would have expected things to end the way they did... but I can't focus too much on that. What's for me... and who's for me... IS FOR ME! And I honestly don't have the energy to worry or stress about it. lol As you can see, I'm not really ready to talk about that so much. You may be able to read between the lines... *shrugs*
School is going...umm... ok, I guess. I'm not as excited about it anymore. With all that's been going on, my focus has been off. Things are turning around though and my advisors have been pretty understanding. I don't regret this decision at all. Ashford University is definitely for me.
So yeah,... Life is good and I look forward to every lesson, every blessing, every DAY!!
Until next time,

Beautiful, It's time!
I've been through a lot in the last few weeks. I'm grateful for each "trial" because I'm learning from them. I'm happy and am finding peace in it all, but I am tired. With all that's going on, I'm about ready for a break... a get-away... I need to just go!
Now, if I had a car, that would be easy! I would simply get in my car and go!! I'm not sure for how long. I'm not even sure where I would go. I would just GO! After a few weeks of the same routine, and constant mishap, I need an adventure, a spontaneous trip. Just God, Music, and me.
Ahhhh!!! It feels good just to think about it!
A few days ago, Sabrina and I were looking at one of my India Arie DVDs and she sang "Beautiful." I've heard that song time and time again. I've listened to the lyrics and couldn't connect with it... until THAT day!... and BOY did it minister!!
In this song she has reached a point where she is tired! It was finally time for her to pack her bags and get away. Not just anywhere, but Beautiful. That place where she could get-away and let go of some things. A quiet place where she could enjoy nature, a place of peace and understanding! A place where she could be without worry. A place where time doesn't matter. It was TIME for her to go...
I can finally connect to this song! I want to go to Beautiful. Not India's beautiful... but my own! I'm already thinking about where my Beautiful is... and I'm going! I have some things I need to step away from. I need to take a look at some things. Let go of some hurt and pain that is interfering with MY LIFE! I just need to go!!... and I will... Just God, Music, and me.
Beautif
ul ,It's time. 
ul ,It's time. 
Until next time,
