Basically the Title speaks for itself. Oreo is nickname that I've been called, which means white on the inside/black on the outside. I have now adopted it as a joke and know that people are just ignorant who truly believe that crap. But I've been going thru some love troubles, family troubles, personal troubles and think I will now discuss it here...my troubles lol! It's time for me to experience life...! |follow me on @veronicastorm |

Who knew I would cry watching a reailty show....
February is also coming soon and is always a hard time for me (the month my father died). You would think this many years later it would be easier but its not. Certain evens, feelings, memories trigger that pain that has never left my heart. At least my home girl is coming into town and my best friend is having a big bday bash for me to look forward to.
Getting older, my mom's illness, I realize a different thing I'm missing by not having him. I am blessed to have a great god father that provides great advice and support, but....its not the same.
On a good note I was told for the first time that I act like my father. That was so crazy to hear considering the fact he died when I was in the 5th grade and I'm 27 now. I felt so proud, I felt like something about me was right :)! Reassured me that he is with me, looking over me!
So I would like to end by saying, as much we judge these reality stars, they are people like the rest of us. Makeup, producers, money, whatever it doesn't matter. The reason we watch is because we can relate, we can live in someone else shoes for a moment or judge to make ourselves feel better. I'm grateful Kim shared that moment, needed that. You might not understand, but I do.....

Duped
Maybe I shouldn't have cared to the limit that I did, maybe I should have been more sharing with my true feelings...either way....
I learned something :)
I know now I need to be more present in situations. I need to not be afraid to be honest with my feelings. Sacrifice a little pride. Trust.
Sometimes I wish I could just read it in a manual, or have a little post it note left on my mirror. The tears, the confusion, the silence could have been avoided, well I would have preferred it.
Suffer thru the experiences to gain valuable lessons?? Completely worth it.
If I could tell him the truth without looking desperate and pathetic I would. I tried putting my words together and my friends were like....you know what makes you look like...tear smh...erase*erase*erase* lol
I'm not gonna waste my time and energy bashing him, blaming him. That does nothing but take time away from me making the necessary changes in myself. All I can say is I appreciated Bootsy's presence in my life and it will be missed. It is what it is.
No regrets, just more memories.
But go ahead to Walmart and buy some Peanut Butter Fundge No Bakes!!!!!!!!

Back Again
Mommy
My mother is still physically healthy but battling a never ending mind battle of Alzheimer's. Its getting more and more frustrating to accept the fact she's not going to get better. That one day it will be hard for her to call my name, associate me as her daughter....etc. But we've been spending a lot more time together which has helped me to appreciate her even more. I wish we could have done this years ago but it wasn't meant to be. Everyday I try to make sure we do an activity but its hard when she's not in the mood or fearful of her surroundings. But I do my best to keep her happy. I love her, but I wish I could do more. She did so much for me, not just being my mom, but my dad as well. All I can is my best in this situation and make the best decisions for her. I'm all she has, she's all I have :)
Dating. Men. The Struggle.
I've come to learn that being single is a growth experience but at the same time a challenging experience. One minute I think I have the answer the next minute I'm back to square one. I am single but my attention concentrates on one man in particular. That attention came naturally, unintentionally. Hard to decide how to navigate in that situation because of all the humps and hurdles. Keeping and open eye and mind as best as I can. But with the situation with my mom, I see the importance of companionship. Even if it doesn't go thru to the altar, people should take more chances in finding someone. Shouldn't wait till you get "successful" or wait for the "one." I'm willing to take chances, make mistakes, create memories. Hopefully someone is willing to do the same :)
Family (blood/non blood)
Trying. Pressuring. Judgemental. Disappointing. Conditional Love.
Me. Extra Info.
Been doing a lot of reading lately. Its my fav hobby and relaxes me. I don't have to worry about reality and like I always say, it's the cheapest vacation out there. I've also been trying to write, get my thoughts out of my head and hopefully compose into a book. I would love to write about my experience with my mom&Alzheimer's as well as realistic fictional stories that young woman can identify with.
Another tid bit, started to exercise. About to subscribe to Women's Health Magazine and join a gym. I need to turn my physical health around, get my metabolism back to moving. I don't want to be in my thirties looking at old pictures depressed or in the doctors office praying for good news.
Well I miss sharing my thoughts with friends and strangers. So blogging has to return to my daily routine, suffer with me :)

Tried being nice...
Oh but when I'm rude, cocky, would you believe men come raining just making themselves to available, too aggressive, too needy....get it?
So what is a girl to do?
Can't really ask my elders, they didn't really have to deal with so much bitchass, flip floppy behavior?
Can't ask chicks younger because their idea of a good man is Soulja Boy....
Would ask my friends, but hell we all confused just trying to get thru a date without committing suicide...smh....crucial.... uh yea

...how do you know?
Dating, sexing, texting, chatting, tweeting, meeting, loving, befriending, hugging, kissing any type of interaction with the opposite sex has become dreadful as physics was to me freshman year of college.
I know I don't want it to be easy, but damn, I didn't want it to be confusing and an annoyance.
I honestly thought by this age I would be in a serious relationship. I wasn't looking to marriage and babies. I don't want babies!! maybe marriage??
I have looked at what I want versus what I need. I have listed the things I can't live without. I no longer waste my time with those I am not interested in (like dates with randoms, waste of my time).
I thought maybe internet dating but folks said that was just desperate and I'm not at the stage yet. I don't think its desperate, but at least I can shop for options. I thought maybe speed dating, but no one would dare go with me. Live on the edge a little bit ladies lol.
I have a twitter account, @veronicastorm, where men like to inbox/dm me with their interests. That just makes me nervous. Because I have no profile to base you on, and its too easy to judge your random thoughts (tweets).
So....I think I will just rely on this "feeling" everyone has talked about. Or this "inkling" that will have me pay attention. Or maybe this "sparkle" will appear and some corny love music will play in the background. idk, I would just settle for Jodeci, a king special from Frenchys and a big hug.
Everyone, just breathe and enjoy your day.

Opinions As of Right Now
2. I got dissed by a guy because I wasn't popular enough. So popular girls are awesome in his book.
3. My dog and I have better conversations than half of the men I meet. Did I mention my dog only barks and barely does that.
4. I am sick of Tiger Woods being raped in the media. He cheated on his wife. Who hasn't done that?
5. Man I own fake purses now. I feel better purchasing it. I feel like I am getting the man. It's funny how people treat me differently, like with status. Really funny when women inspect the bag, they determine it's real, then strike a conversation with me. Entertainment.
6. I don't want to meet another man. Seriously. I got my feelings hurt. Time for self love. And not in the sexual way for you dirty minds. I can't stand the getting to know you phase. Sick of telling my information, the uncomfortable dates, determing their ringtone..........
7. JAY LENO SUCKS!!!!!!!
8. I love Jimmy Fallon. His show is truly funny and creative. And the house band is The Roots. I actually laugh out loud not lol.
9. Why the fuck do I say lol all the time when I twit?
10. I refuse to participate in the All Star Activities. Hopefully I will be in New Orleans losing my mind, or here in Houston losing my mind...all I know is I need to lose my mind. All the folks will be out in Dallas.
11. If the Pants on the Ground man can get a record deal and a performance on the Grammys what the hell am I doing wrong?
GOODNIGHT

long time, no blog
It hasn't been easy with my mom. Some days are good and some days are bad. Other days it's bad and good all in the same day. I have to admit I think this is making me stronger and a bit weaker in some areas. I have lost focus on goals and what I really want in life.
On a good note, I am recognizing the signs to let people stay and go in my life. I have learned the importance of self-reflection. I am learning patience and understanding. I realized my passion for reading and writing.
I plan to start blogging again for myself. I miss writing and talking to people and hearing folks opinions.
I must say I appreciate the people who are in my life and want to be in my life. That exculdes my family, blood family. I have totally avoided them, and pushed them out. They are not there for my mother, of which I can't respect nor understand (funny I say I've learned understanding).
But what a blessing it has been for the definition of family to change for me. My friends, my neighbors, my mother's friends, parents of the children I take care of, even my drunk god father has been a huge help!
So this week I am making changes to protect and enhance my life. I'm taking a step into taking chances and facing challenges head on! WHEW HOO!
Shoutouts to 2010!

Can I say...
I lost a friend due to some straight fuckery and foolatry and drunkness and trickery. A friend of mine went off on me because I don't share the feelings he has for me, for him. Get off! Claimed I diss him. Dissing him would be using him, leading him on, not being honest. I have always told him how I feel, that I jsut wanted to be friends. During his drunken rant he said he has been trying to get at me for a year and a half. Anyone that knows me knows I make up my mind in like 5 minutes. Doesn't take a year to convince and I don't like being convinced. It hurts that I have lost a friend, that I got disrespected and no apology. So was he ever a friend? Was he just waiting for his opportunity all along? Damn dudes!!! ANd dudes say females are emotional????
I am still shocked how my family isn't doing anything for my mom. It's like she doesn't exist or they think she's this angel floating around in pure happy life and goodness.
I am addicted to twitter. Follw me @veronicastorm. I seriously wild out and sometimes have to PG 13 my ass
I love watching tv on my phone. No commercials. Especially no scary movie previews that give me nightmares.
Somehow I have got to stop spending my money. Like all of it.

Check This...
I drove to my Grandma's and then back today. The drive pooped me out. But still can't sleep. I hope I don't snap on the kids. I'm going to put on a movie for myself to keep some positivity around me.
My mom actually seemed like she missed me. I told her I loved her today. Felt good. Hasn't gone down like that in a minute. I have to take and appreciate the moments I get. I love her so much. While she was gone it really gave me abreak, I was able to clear my head and relax. But it also made me really think about what she has to go thru. Knowing she's here and there. Damn.
I am confused about my boo. Where is this going to go? I've got to strike up the conversation immediately. Cuz I like him and need to make a change before all you hear from me is "Why Why WHy??" LOL...Something about the way he looks at me, let me stop!!!
I HATE PEOPLE THAT WHEN YOU CALL THEM, THEY DON'T ANSWER, THEN SEND YOU A TEXT SAYING, DID YOU CALL........
Realized my family doesn't think of me often. Tear. And who cares, I have other family, really family that does.
Still wearing the fake nails, what am I really doing??
DANCE CLASS TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sad, the days are disappearing and Antoinette will be back in dallas... : ( : ( : ( : (
EVERYONE HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND, CUZ I AM

People Take The Joy Out Of............
~status stalker: stalk you to the point that when you see them face to face they spit off every status you have had.
~People who have low reading comprehension skills and get offended or don't understand your words. Then have the nerve to be rude and judgemental with their responses/reactions
~Take it too serious: lose their jobs, lose friends, lose relationships
DATING
~The other person disappointing you for no reason, not in a relationship, so no point in lies, embellishments, criticisms....
~Undisclosed expectations and intentions
~Folks who catch feelings to quick
~Crazy exs who throw themselves into the equation
NEW FASHION TRENDS
~People who wear the trend out, like put it in every outfit...ex the latex pants shouldn't be worn to the club, to your job, to the grocery store and too church
~People who wear trends that don't fit their body...ex people with no booty or too much booty wearing the latex pants. Either too much or too little to look at
HUMANS THAT HAVE PHONES THAT ARE NOT THE "AMAZING i PHONE"
~Always telling you what your phone doesn't have in comparison to yours
~Boderline get angry when you tell them of a feature their "Amazing i Phone" doesn't have that you do, then go on a hunt for the application

Confusion!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2. People who ask you to do favors for them, give them advice, give them ideas and suggestions....to all of a suden treat you a hot shitty mess.
3. "You can be my sweet dream, or a beautiful nightmare" the words in Beyonce's new song Sweet Dreams...I guess I'm slow because none of my nightmares have been beautiful or enjoyable.
4. How I still have a crush on this dude from high school...I blame his smile and humor
5. THE HEAT IN HOUSTON...WHY IS IT SO HOT???? WE ARE NOT THAT CLOSE TO THE EQUATOR.
6. Boys II Men is now 3. I mean someone told me the one with the deep voice has back problems, but can he lay down and do his part? It's harsh, and wrong for me to say, but I always loved his pimp walk and random outburts of poetry.
7. How come my mobile blogging is still not working.
8. Why do guys think its cool to say, "where yo man at?i know he'll be pissed if he sees me talking to you?i know you not alone? your man let you out the house? you to fine/sexy/cute/funny/nice to be single,whats wrong??.........confuses me!!!!!
9. Who got all the money when people had to go buy these digital conversion boxes?? or whatever the new cable is called...
10. THE POINT OF TWITTER IF EVERYONE JUST CONNECTS IT TO THEIR FACEBOOK
11. How facebook hasn't added a music option...
12. How come the use of the word "bitchassness" faded so quickly...
13. What does my dog dream about??? He sometimes make noises, barks, moves around, and a couple of times has woken himself up.
14. Alzheimers
15. Why is it so hard to direct my thoughts to formulate this book I want to write.

ITs Been A Minute
I lost my dad when I was in the 5th grade, and now it's like I'm losing her, just slowly. I can't do anything right, I can't make it better, I just don't know what to do.
I can't imagine what goes thru her mind on a daily basis. How heavy her heart must feel.
I love my mom. I just can't lose her. And I am and I am losing myself slowly.
Today I am writing these words cuz I don't know who to call and tell them to. I don't have the courage to cry to someone, except to the people at the alzheimers support group.

Preventing the word flow....
My mom won't get help. She is truly going thru something, something is taking over, and she is almost content with it. It's frustrating as hell to live at home. So I have truly been exploring my options, and planning for some moves. I know I need to be there for her. I am an only child. But damn, you can't help someone who doesn't want help. It's like she has gotten used to taken everything out on me, making me her punch bag, battling the migraines, forgetting stuff......and on and on......I am truly tired. Shit I am having headaches. Like taking medicine on the regular. It's crazy, sad, and exhausting.

reality
It's been hard to publish what has already been typed.
To sum it up, it is hell living with my mother. Her mood swings, her paranoia, her memory loss.....it's depressing. I never thought I would see her like this. I honestly can't handle it. I have reached to family and friends but the adults tell me to hold on, support her, she's yo momma, help her, we are talking about, la di da di da. Not helping!
ex. I can't even use nail polish remover because she thinks I am sniffing it. The smell is too strong for her. Therefore there is no way I could be using it with nail polish, I must be getting high. Tear my life. If anything she is making me miss...well I am not going to go there.

My Issues With Politics
2. Why won't John Mccain tell the world who his running mate is? Okay....it is some random lady from Alaska, go snow! Bet Obama's team is nervous about all those potential females votes to lose. Ooopsies, bet Clinton isn't look so harmful now at all
3. Isn't it crazy how great Hillary Clinton's speech was? I think the best one of her life. I really hope she is able to make some fierce changes in Washington with that new degree of passion....especially for health care.
4. Who else thinks Republicans are hillarious? From their crazy affiars, hillarious statements, outrageous backgrounds, I can't wait for the Republican National Convention!
5. How come on TV1 their coverage had to be called the "DNC Afterparty?" Guess it is too hard to spell out Democratic National Convention, or too hard to give the show a proper name like panel or something. It's not a party, it is politics! Serious business.
6. Damn it's a bitch I didn't keep my major political science......
7. And another comment about TV1, why are there comedians on the panel? Well let me say less informed comedians contributing to the conversation of the importance of this election. Sheryl's first comment related to Hillary's suit, not the content of her speech and the potential impact it might have. Tear on Sheryl's life!
8. So....if Mccain's hair is already white, what color will it change when he gets really stressed?
Politics, what a ham?
