Candis-Failure Is Not An Option..Or A Thought

....Above Anything Else.... I am a WOMAN

About Me


THE CRUELEST LIES... ARE OFTEN TOLD IN SILENECE" ((- Robert Louis Stevenson)) ...............................I am motivated and convinced... I am convinced that I am going to be successful. See ladies and gentlemen, there is a difference between being conceited, and being convinced...bossy.Enough of that...let's talk about some real shit.... Okay ladies...let me talk to you for a minute: Okay, it is very important that you absorb what I am saying in these next few lines.....Ladies,It is okay to love... it is okay to be loved....but sweethearts...remember who you are in any situation...remember that in order to be of any wealth and substance to another person- you must first be of wealth and substance to yourself. And I know there are times when it seems like: "The only person that can make you smile, is the same person that made you cry", but trust me it does get better....life gets better...shit life is fun!!! :) So remember that! Also remember that you-no matter what shape, height, size, race, creed, circumstance, or status...you and only you run shit in your world! So whether it's today or tomorrow, or maybe next year- it will get better...and you are worth every drip of confidence that you possess. ((Real talk))Now fellas, lol, you know I couldn't forget about you....let me sit down and holla at ya'll for a minute.... First off....we need to talk about the (as we say in Florida "stuntin") - ahh yes, the "i'm going to try to impress them with this" attitude.... Fellas, I know it's 2007, and our generation is making a way for the next...((And trust me, I am trying to keep it on a positive vibe)), So I can't start without giving my praise to those who are doing it...in whatever way they feel they are doing it! However, fellas, trust me, a REAL woman will not JUST be impressed with what kind of CAR you DRIVE, or if you have all the new pairs of JORDANS.... Or even if you "Break Bread" - Spend $$$ on them....Fellas, A real woman will like those things (don't get it twisted lol)- But she will also be trying to have and earn those things for herself. Real talk. So please understand that we do support you....whether hustling is your game, or you hold down a normal 9-5....The most important thing is to do what you do. But do it with a 110%. No half-assin'! So yes, fellas, PLEASE strive for those nice material things...because you DESERVE IT....but remember those are for YOU...not the rest of the world....You earned that playboy, so work hard...don't stunt hard....you feel me! lol ~"Be Easy" .... ..I edited my profile at Freeweblayouts.net , check out these Myspace Layouts!

My Interests

Poetry...Writing, Playing the piano...it relaxes me... reading, music ((Very eclectic)), shoes, and more shoes, and oddly enough, I LOVE anything dealing with education...furthering my education. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ..ON ANOTHER NOTE: LADIES & GENTLEMEN...I HAVE MADE SOME REAL CHANGES IN MY LIFE IN THE PAST 6 MONTHS...CHANGES THAT HAVE INVOLVED ME LOOKING WITHIN MYSELF AND GETTING RID OF THE TOXIC. NOW, OF COURSE,AS WITH ANYTHING, THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS...BUT PLEASE BELIEVE THAT A NEW DAY BEGINS EVERY TIME I WAKE UP...AND I HAVE REALIZED THAT LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO SPEND ARGUING, BEING MAD ALL OF TIME, ANGRY, OR EVEN DISAPPOINTED...BECAUSE WE, YES WE, SET OUR OWN DESTINY, AND THE AMAZING THING ABOUT IT....IS THAT WE CAN CHANGE IT WHENEVER WE WANT TO....SO I WANTED TO SHARE THAT...I FEEL SO MUCH HAPPIER, AND FREE...LEARNING TO TRUST AND LOVE PEOPLE THAT I NORMALLY WOULD HAVE JUST PUSHED OUT...SO I THANK EVERYONE...THE TOXIC AND THE NON-TOXIC PEOPLE THAT HAVE GRACED MY LIFE WITH THEIR PRESENCE...BECAUSE I AM A WORK IN PROGRESS, AND STRIVING EVERYDAY TO TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND ENJOY THE FRESH SCENT OF "LIVING"...I LOVE IT!

Music:

One Word: Eclectic.((If you don't know what that means...look it up bae))...Playing the PIANO relaxes me...

Movies:

Anything funny or scary...nothing like watching a movie with someone and either laughing, or getting close because you're scared...lol ~The Color Purple~ My Favorite movie! "You Told Harpo To Beat Me!!!!!!" -any true fan of the movie, knows that line!!!!Monster's Ball, Madea's Family Reunion, Empire of the Sun, Armageddon, Guess Who's Coming To Dinner (Classic Movie), The Sound Of Music (Classic Movie), Sister Act 1 & 2 (C'mon, ya'll watched that too!lol), The Little Mermaid, Orange County, American Pie 1, Shallow Hal, The Hills Have Eyes, Shadowbox,Shit...there are so many, I'd be here for days!

Television:

Oh my goodness!! GREY'S ANATOMY (one of the best shows ever!!!!),Glen Beck, Nancy Grace (Primetime News), MSNBC, Extreme Home Make-Over (that's a tear jerker!) lol... The Bernie Mac Show (Re-runs), Will & Grace, America's Next Top Model (I know, I know, I didn't even think I would like that show!), King of Queens, Dog The Bounty Hunter (too bad they took it off the air, due to his ignorance), Cheaters (Ya'll know you all watch that late night too!), Sex & The City (Re-Runs), Dexter & Weeds (on Showtime)......

"Fried Green Tomatoes"....Hey I know ya'll remember "The Babysitter's Club" Books...those things used to have me locked up in my room, reading all day when I was a little girl!!! lol..Damn, now I'm showing my age huh?!!! lmao!

Heroes:

My Father- Plain and Simple..... This man raised a young lady into a growing woman by himself... My father not only raised me, but served his country. He has taught me SO much about myself without even knowing it... He is not only a successful man in his community, but life. He sees something he wants, and he goes for it. Not ONE person can tellhim that he won't attain his goals...that just motivates him even more! He was the only one there for me, when no one else wanted me... He was there pretending to be asleep on the couch on my first date, when I got home-lol, and he was there when I thought I couldn't go on anymore... I CANNOT stop typing the IMMENSE LOVE AND GRATITUDE I have for him... He kept me up on game...males and females alike... He showed me that "AVERAGE IS UNACCEPTABLE", and he would always say to me: "Candis, If you don't think you are the baddest motha fucka in two boots, then no one else will..." ---And that's real........... Love Ya Dad, Your "Babygirl".
