| View | Add FavoriteWith every happiness there will forever be an eternal sadness that lingers, because I know that I will never again be able to smile with you. I miss you EVERY day, and I have loved you since you were born, and will continue to love you long past when I too leave this Earth. You may not be on Earth anymore, but I believe that you must be somewhere better. I have to believe this, else I would perish. I love you Dee Anthony Davis, I will see you in Heaven some day... For now I will do my best to make sure that I am there for your son. ♥Auntie Retta P-Town!!!

Add to My Profile | More VideosI'm just your average girl... NOT. I am actually extremely unique. I once aspired to be a criminal defense attorney, followed by a career in politics. I wanted to change the world. The older I got the more I realized that in order to get elected you have to sell-out. I will NEVER be a sell-out. Ever. So, instead I decided to quit school and make money. When I am a billionaire and I can fund my own campaigne then maybe I will run. And on a REAL platform, not some bullshit that I made-up because I thought it was what people wanted to hear. I want to give a HUGE shout-out to George W. Bush for making it possible for someone like me to win. It would have NEVER happened if someone like him who "fit the mould" hadn't screwed-up SO badly. Anyway, my biggest focus right now is finding a balance in life. I have no problem being a professional at work, but sometimes I have to remind myself that I am 23 and you only get to be young once. I was promoted to finance director a week before my 22nd birthday. I worked an entire year with no days off, about 14-hours-a-day, then I decided that I was young and I needed act young and have fun. I did that for awhile and realized that I need to work a lot to feel normal. I also have insane spending habits. I always have, but that fire has been fueled massively by the amount of money that I make. I am trying to grow-up and spend it on the important things like investments so I can retire by the time I'm 30. This is where the need for balance comes-in. I want to travel the world and do a lot for humanitarian efforts, but first starting right here at home. I don't understand why it is that no one understands that you can't truly help other people until you have things straight with yourself. Therefore, America should focus on it's own problems first. We are like a guy in a wheelchair trying to teach an infant to walk. We have no idea what we're talking about, so we should get our own country up and running before we attempt to "fix" others. Who is to say that we have it right and they don't? Who is to say that "our" God and "their" God are the same entity? I think that we all worship the same God, and killing in the name of Him is totally wrong. I thank God for my family and friends everyday. They are what puts a smile on my face even through the hardest times, we learn from eachother, we cry together, and without them the good times would be far less happy. To sum it up, I am a work-a-holic, I am HIGHLY opinionated, but atleast I am educated enough to know what I am being opinionated about, and most importantly... I LOVE my family, my friends, and God♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥Live in the moment. Savor the now. Stop thinking about the future, because you never know if you will get there, and if you are always thinking about the future, you will never TRULY experience the beauty of your current situation. When you walk outside, really savor the feeling of the sand between your toes... the grass under your feet... the sounds of birds singing... The smell of fresh air. Things will be better, and you will be happier. Just slow down

I'd like to meet:


I would love to meet God. Also, Abraham Lincoln, Aristotle, Socrates, Cleopatra, Hillary Clinton, and my grandfather who died before I was born. I would also love to meet The Dixie Chicks, Nora Jones, Kanye West... Aww, heck. I wanna meet EVERYONE. I think that everyone can teach you something. Whether your encounter with that person is good or seemingly bad, YOU choose to to take something positive from it if you want to. Some of the worst people and situations that I have known in my life have opened-up doors to some of the most amazing possibilities for me. It is the hard times that make you stronger, the bad times that make you appreciate the good, and the fake people who make you appreciate and discern between them and the real ones.

Music:

I love all types of music. I would say that I have been closely tied to music since I was very young. I love any kind of live music and have a lot of respect for musicians that write their own songs and don't sell-out. I think that music is the ultimate expression of oneself..................................................... ............................................................ ........................
I Love...Nas, Kanye West, Norah Jones, Ray Charles, Tupac Shakur, Tim McGraw, The Dixie Chicks, The Supremes, Frank Sinatra, Jay-Z (now that he's not fighting with Nas), Justin Timberlake, Xhibit, Kurupt, Michelle Branch, Mariah Carey, Christina Aguilera, OLD Madonna (I HATE her newer stuff), Jack Johnson, Dave Matthews, Puddle of Mud, Limp Bizkit, Blink 182, RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE, Snoop D-O-double G, Bone Thugs N Harmony, Elvis, Kenny Chesney, Martina Mcbride, OLD Eminem (I used to LOVE him, but now I think he's a sell-out), I love any good house DJ to dance to, but I don't like to listen to it in my car because I like to sing in the car! ............................................................ ....................I would also like to mention a couple more... BIG MOUTH, not yet famous, but more talented than 90% of artists on the radio... DOXOLOGY, about to be AMAZINGLY famous, as well as wonderful guys and personal friends of mine!....................................................... ............................................................ ..I also danced for over ten years so I am closely tied to it physically as well as mentally. And when I say that I danced, PLEASE don't ask if I was a stripper. Stripping is NOT dancing... It's a slight variation of prostitution, and DEFINITELY not my style.

Movies:

Casino(my all-time fav)Gone in 60 seconds (fast cars are so hot).Ray. Van Wilder (If he existed in real life I would marry that boy).The Secret. Clueless. Bucket List.

Television:

I pretty much think that television is a waste of time and it rots your mind, and NO, my mother did not teach me that. It is a personal decision. I DO however, LOVE to watch stand-up comedy and enjoy the following programs...................................................T he Sopranos------------------------------------------------REAL TIME with Bill Maher---------------------------------------- Anything politically INFORMATIVE (No garbage, NO news)------------------------------------------------------- -------------SEX AND THE CITY!!!-----------------------------------------------Anythi ng educational Watch the Awesome Cartoon I made

Books:

The Bible. The five people you meet in Heaven. Anything non-fictional or biographical. Quote books. Anything by Anna Quindlen.

Heroes:

Whether you believe you can or you can’t you are probably right!

I love it!  It has long been one of my favorite quotes.  Henry Ford said it, although his exact quote was something like, "Whether you believe that you can do a thing, or believe that you ca...
