Happy Thanksgiving folks! It’s a beautiful day and I’m truly blessed and hope you are as well. I’m gonna take a few brief moments to share what I am most thankful for.
I’m thankful for being me. Sometimes I may get down on myself, but overall, I LoVe being me. Not many people get the opportunity to spend their life doing what they love, I do. I appreciate myself for who I am and wouldn’t want to be anyone else. I’m a great person with a good heart and I have boat loads of ambition and integrity.
I’m thankful for my work. Though it can be draining and frustrating at times, my job is amazing. I have met and worked with amazing individuals that I would have otherwise never have had the opportunity to know. I get to do things, go place and see things that I never thought I would and for that alone, I’m blessed!
And mostly… I’m thankful for my friends. As most of my readers know I grew up in foster care so I am very much estranged from my biological family, making my friends my real family. Just as any family we have drama and sometimes an occasional argument, but for the most part it’s nuthin but LoVe! My friends have been there for me through the best and worst of times and when I need them they have never let me down. I recently had a life changing experience where I fell flat on my face and they were there to help pick me up, dust me of and bring me home… I could never find the words to properly express my gratitude and appreciation for them.
I hope you all know how much you mean to me. There is not one person in my life that I would trade for anything in the world… lol, ok… maybe one… just kidding… well… kinda, lol! But seriously, I am blessed beyond my wildest dreams and if I asked for anything more… well, I’d just be selfish.
A few months back I was contacted by Keith FromUpTheBlock to participate in his music video production for his slammin’ song “I Get Chubby”! So… I went to Vegas, met some new life long friends and got to have the time of my life making the funnest video to hit the net!
I want to take a moment to really give props to my man Keith FromUpDaBlock… he is not only uber hilarious as a stand up comedian, but he is also a parody genius! Now, if you know me I really reserve my compliments for those who are exceptionally deserving, and Keith really is! Make sure you check him out on his site http://keithfromupdablock.com as well as his channel on YouTube!
I must say that I am VERY proud to have been a part of this project and consider myself blessed to have found a life long friend in the talented Keith FromUpDaBlock! You can be sure that there will be more Keith/Desiree colabs to come!
After months of anticipation… the video has hit the net and it has come out with a BANG! With close to 20K hits on YouTube in the first 24 hours, this video is off the hook!
I wrote a blog on MySpace about the appreciation that I have for my good friends… I just wanted to take a moment and add some things…
I grew up in a way that I spent a lot of time alone or around people that really could have cared less about my best interest. All of the experiences that I have had throughout my life has really made me appreciate the true friends that I have now. I think that friendship is one thing that most people take for granted. Relationships are work regardless of they type of relationship it is. Sometimes getting to know and understand all of your girlfriends may take some time and effort. Women are finicky and sensitive, but a good friend will always be aware of the things that affect her… in a good or bad way.
You should always treat people the way that you want to be treated but with friends you have to take it a step further. For me it has always been the little things that matter so much… the random calls to say I love you, the girls nights out where there is no cattiness or drama, the honest shopping ventures when they say “oh no hunny!”, lol but mostly the fact that they let me be who I am and love me unconditionally regardless of my crazy life. I have always said I am who I am and I refuse to change for anyone but me and they accept me for me as I accept them for who they are and love them regardless of their most major flaw.
It seems that people really don’t understand the term unconditional love. Most people have some type of standard or criteria that you have to meet before you’re “in”. I don’t know about you but I have never been good a being able to keep up with who I “should be” from one person to the next so I just stay true to form. Unconditional is defined as follows: Without conditions or limitations; absolute. Just the word “absolute” sums it up for me cause when it comes to people that I love that’s exactly how I feel. I would gladly step in front of a bullet if it meant saving them or sacrificing something that I want just to make them a little happier, it’s worth it to me!
In closing, it may be because I am a Scorpio, but I am very supportive and am even more protective of people hold close to my heart! Real friends are few and far between so cherish them like they are a part of you. To my friends, thank you… because of you I’m such a lucky girl and to you I say this…
Hate you… Let ‘em! Hurt you… They can’t! Try to… I wish they would! Love you… I do! Be you… They wish! Envy you… They should! Defend you… I would!
Friendship is more than a word… it’s a commitment.
1 word describes my feeling about this fabulous annual event… WOOHOO… ok, maybe that’s 2 words, lol!
This is going to be my first year spending the entire week at the BBW Vegas Bash and I am super stoked! My roomies are also a huge reason I’m super excited… Ms. Dawn P. and the sweet Michelle Rose! My good friends Tree, Tofu, Tawnee, Secret and Sicilia will also be attending!
I will arrive in Vegas Monday July 14th for the Club Sinsations Pre-Bash Party! I think Dawn will also arrive on the 14th to commence the festivities, lol! Tuesday we will pick up Michelle at the airport and continue on to check into our room at the Bash… oh, we may be needing to make a quick stop by Costco to stock up on adult beverages, hehe!
As soon as we get into our room my plan is to fill up my cup, strip down and head to the pool for some summer sun!
So hopefully I will see all of my good friends and fans and make many new friends! If your coming out make sure to bring your August issue of Big Butt Magazine and I would love to sign it for you! See you there!
