Friday
Today was my day off. I didn't do much. I watched a movie called BigNight starring Stanley Tucci and then by mistake I took a nap. I hate naps and generally take them when I'm sick, but sit me on mybed and give me a reason to close my eyes (I hate the lights in [...]
Short men and their tall tempers
I have this policy-never date short men. Seriously. I dated a short guy I worked in the same building with last year and he had a temper. He acted like just because he bought me a meal, I should be happy to choke on his tongue. I was supposed to watch a movie with this [...]
The Chase at Bethesda
When I was in Maryland back in October, my cousin and I went walkingthrough a neighborhood in Bethesda. I have to tell you, it waseverything I wanted in my future residence. There were manyrestaurants, shops, and a descent night life. I also discovered theywere building condos there. The perfect place for me to live – [...]
Never can say goodbye and powdered goat’s milk
I'm terrible at saying goodbye. I will do just about anything toavoid saying it. The last time I said goodbye to someone, I almostcried. I considered this person a good friend. We had lots of greatconversations about everything under the sun. Our discussions wouldget so heated, we'd sometimes leave each other pissed off. But wewould [...]
Stormy Weather
It's thundering and lightning right now. I really, really think days like this are romantic. This is the first day in a long time I wish I had a boyfriend to snuggle with. I got a text message from someone today. It was sweet that he was thinking about me. I tried to send him [...]
My future hairdo
I’ve been seriously considering cutting my hair. I went searching thenet last night for short haircuts I thought would be flattering and Icame across a picture of Halle Berry. I think I have the right facial structure to pull off this hairdo. Ormaybe not. I’m just tired of wearing my hair pulled back when I [...]
Worst trip to the beauty salon ever
I knew I would have a bad hair day when I was told the Russian girl wasn’t coming back, but I decided to give the new girl a try anyway. Now, I only use Kera Care products in my hair because I have a sensitive scalp and other products, especially grease, will cause my a [...]
Skype and thoughts on being a Wino
I've been using Skype since I lived in Korea and I think it's great.The only problem is I can't stand the perverts that skype me all thetime. I think I should change my photo on skype. I went to a party last night and the night before last. I drank alittle bit. Apparently wine is [...]
Relationships
I've been thinking a lot lately about being single and how it's reallythe only status I'm comfortable with. The guys I dated in the pastreally didn't add to my personal happiness and they weren't fun to bewith at all. Then I got to thinking about the men I've met whose company I reallyenjoyed. We never [...]
Stress
I've been under a lot of stress lately. A few civilian co-workersleft/got fired and went back to England. I'm having to train newcivilians while trying to do a job I despise with all the fiber of mybeing. I'm pretty much suffering from all the ailments I suffered from duringthose four years of hell. Heartburn, constipation, [...]
I signed up with Facebook
I have a myspace account but I absolutely hate myspace because I find it difficult to navigate the interface. I also hate message boards. I'm a blogger danggit! What use do I have for myspace? I've met some folks who use Facebook. So, in order to keep in touch with them, I opened a Facebook [...]
Time to say goodbye to blogger
I’ve had my own domain for about two months now and it’s been functioning properly for the last month. That means I will no longer be posting here. If you want to read up on what I’m doing please go to shavonne.org Thanks.

Phone Calls From the Edge: "I got a baby. When you gon have one?"
I know I’m black and female, but that doesn’t mean I want to have illegitimate children. My mom and her two sisters all had their children out of wedlock. They figured if my grandmother, their mother, could raise six children without the help of a husband (my grandpa was a rolling stone), then they didn’t [...]
Graffiti
There’s nothing I hate more than graffiti. To me, it’s a sign of moral degradation. I went to the grocery store around 12 noon to buy my lunch for the week. When I drove through the neighborhood, the walls surrounding our subdivision were graffiti free. When I went to Walmart around 7 p.m. the walls [...]
The Duggar Family
I was flipping through channels when I came across a documentary called 14 Children and Pregnant again. It was a documentary about the Duggar family. I’ve heard about this family before and I always had my doubts as to how this family could function. I was basing this on the fact that, well, my mom [...]
Diary of a Tired Black Man
There?s movie coming out that I have no intention of seeing. Diary of Tired Black Man. I went to the website to watch the clip. I was about 1/20th of the way to getting mad but I didn?t. I used to be one of those bitter black girls. I say ?girl? because I was very [...]
Affirmative Action
I have a cousin (K) who?ll be going off to college next year. She?s been looking at colleges for a while now. K?s had her eyes set on Duke, but with the cost of out-of-state tuition, her mom and dad told her to look locally (California) or do what her brother and sister did and [...]
I hate dot5hosting
I haven’t gone one day without issues with dot5hosting. I, for some reason, am not able to login to vdeck so I can change some aspects of my blog. Typical. This is what I go through everyday. This won’t be too convenient for me if I have to deploy and don’t have access to my [...]
The Clippers: Back to a Losing Streak
I?m going to be honest and admit to rooting for the Clippers. I really really wanted them to win. In fact, if they had won the Western Conference Finals, I would have gone out and bought my very first sports jersey, which is something big for me because I do not wear sports clothing or [...]
So many things to do, so little time
I have so much to blog about and little motivation to actually do it. I’m still waiting to hear if I will have to go back into the Army. I don’t want to but I know it’s inevitable. I called Human Resources Command to see if a decision had been made on my recall but [...]
I’ll be leaving blogger soon
I’ve decided I should just make that leap away from blogger so I went and got a domain name with Dot5hosting. It only cost me $3.95 a month for signing up with a 24-month service. Look for Shavonne’s World at shavonne.org. I wanted shavonnesworld.com but some jackass took it already. Go figure. Who else would [...]
Things that make me feel ugly
Picture this, I”m driving home from work and I come to a stop sign. I’m sitting there waiting for traffic to clear on the left and right so I can continue down the road I’m on. Then I look to my left and I see a car making a right turn. All of a sudden [...]
