Full Moon, New Moon...how long do the effects of it last? Man...I've had a visit from a ghost, I saw tiny people flying kites, I've got an "8 year growth" that's aching lately and, man, I need a break today. Praise God it's tax refund time! Since there's no more WaMu, woo hoo!
Sorry the only thing I've given in weeks is so random. I feel like I'm losing my head, can you tell??? I'm keeping it short and sweet this blessed day. Have lots to do: lines to learn, literature and texts to read...praying to do.
Be blessed!

Carmell come get your brother!
Isn't that why people have more than one kid, so they can occupy one another? Well, just like me to have my children 16 years apart and then move across with the little one...and on days like this week's when he's coming down w/cabin fever, I'd really like to send him in the room with his sister.
Since that's not happening...everyone have a good night and wonderful weekend!

This year is bangin'!
I now have to start this blog off differently than planned. I could almost cry tears of joy that one of my most favoritest family members read and commented on my blog. I love you, ChrisC!
So, man is this year the bomb already. I brought it in at an intimate little spiritual gathering with my church family...they had just welcomed me as a new member. CLC Simi is also where I got to sing a solo again for the first time since...ooh, the Sunbeams and Sunshine Band. Praise God for restoring my voice enough to know that I can retrain and use it...while I'm learning Guitar.
I had a wonderful few weeks off school/work. (Ended Semester with 3.67 GPA) Had a week longer than my son off school and spent it mostly sleeping and reading. Stella (almost) has her groove back. I sit on my balcony and read. I take long, candlelit baths. I love me and I love loving me.
I'm stepping up (on Faith) my career pursuit. I'm buying a new car. I'm cleaning out my closet - clothes and shoes - and I'm redoing my home by Summer. I'm working less paid hours and investing in more long-term pay-offs. I have all Theater classes, learning new areas, and am surrounded by lots of beautiful people with great energy and wonderful personalities. I'm performing twice in one show during Feb and that's just what I could get out in one thought...but I've been away about a week and it ate at me like a mosquito in the Caribbean, so I had to write to you all tonight. (lol, watch no one reads it)
Love and be loved!
Jess...an Angel!

HAPPY TUESDAY
I’m currently reading EJD’s Gideon Quadogy (Aye no it snot a werd): Sleeping With…Waking With…Dying For…Resurrecting…
I’d been finished with Sleeping With Enemies days before Waking With Strangers would come and I needed more EJD, but instead of re-reading something of his, I decided get reacquainted with Nina Foxx literature. I’ve started following her on Twitter, have friended her on FB, joined her blog (which I know why she doesn’t post to often-busy woman is starting a shoe line for me, I mean working women) and realized I’d read one of her early novels. Couldn’t remember how it went so I figured since I’m all up in her business, I need to again get familiar with her literary work. (It’s relative, stay with me… EJD is why I started following her on Twitter, and so on, yada yada yada) I’d not yet officially become his unofficial #1 fan when I read mention of him in NF’s Get Some Love, but she had his name and the woman’s name who got me reading novels at all (Jackie Collins), right there in the same sentence, describing my reading habits as they were forming back then. I plan to read more from her over Spring Break. Anyway, upon finishing her book and ready to continue in the series of Gideon, book #3 came before book #2, and then we got a mailman who must’ve been driving a short yellow mail truck one day because in all my 5 ½ years of living at the same address my mail delivery person has always brought to my door anything that wouldn’t fit into my box. BUT NOOOOOOO Not this time when I was so anxious for something. The second book came in the mail but got taken to the property management office instead of brought to my door, FOR ME to have to go and pick up. The flippin’ nerve of this person who gets a regular check from the Unbelievably Stupid Postal Service and has great benefits to leave it to me to have to go past my mailbox to the leasing office and pick up my books when he rolled that little short yellow mail truck right past my unit!!! Don’t they know that I don’t go back to work and school until January 11th and I need to remain as leisurely as possible until that time??? I needed my pleasure reading brought to my door! With all due respect, I’m sure it was time for him to be off and he didn’t feel like trying to find my door after having been lost in my community (I saw him drive around 3x) because they let Forrest, Forrest Gump’s dumb clone assign addresses to the mailboxes that weren’t closest to the building to which they belonged, but hey, I’m a comedy writer so today he’s in the short yellow mail truck. NOW, I don’t like going to the office, (could be something to due w/early childhood memories, I don’t know,) but I did go today… and finally, I now have all four of the books and I have to read them all before January 11th because after that all I’ll have time to read are scripts/monologues for performances/auditions. I should be halfway through #2 before taking Jalen to school. Since we walk I’m taking the book with me to read on the way back home and going straight to the fitness room and get on the elliptical to continue reading it.
That’s all for now but come back next time. I may talk about the beautiful new pots & pans I bought myself for Christmas, that are going to collect dust sitting on my stove. They’re so pretty I don’t want to hide them in cabinets, but these days I’m really not fond of the room with the big hot thing in it.
Oh, and I had some Chicken Wings on Monday night. I’d been wanting some all year. I pity the fool that tries to come between me and my Chicken Wings! (Growl, snarl, bark, BITE)

Time to put my Faith to work!
1/4/10
I made through another day this year with no chicken wings. It’s a sad but beautiful day. I got to see an old friend and spend a little time and then found her on IMDB later in the day making me feel even better.
I’m happy for everyone’s accomplishments. And that reminded me of telling another friend that’s where I want to see my name. So here goes. I’m putting in it print…some of my year’s goals. I’m going to get superb headshots, a demo reel, and start auditioning, and doing background work again that will lead to work that gets me a SAG card and my name on IMDB, as well. I’m also going to get a voice-over demo for I’m taking a class with a dynamic instructor this semester, Peggy O’Neal, who’s done voice-over work and gotten other classmates of mine auditions: I’m taking Auditioning Techniques with her, and I’m taking Advanced Acting with Soap Opera veteran actor, writer/director, John Loprieno from One Life to Live. I’ll soon be done with my Theatre studies on the AA level and will be looking to become A-List. Not for the perks, but for the sheer love of acting, so that I can work a job I love enough to inspire me to do more (complete) writings. Of course I need for the Lord to provide me proper care provision/a suitable nanny for my young Prince, or roles for him as well. I already have a monologue and a voice-over part in productions in February, and I’m looking forward to more school performances in April. God’s fulfilling a lot of His promises for me this year. I’m ready to submit and let Him make it do what He do! I think I’ll go look at a Homes and Land book now.
HAPPY MONDAY, LOVES!

Ode to the Chicken Wing
Previously in the Angel Blogs, Angel began making resolutions for some of her (ahem) friends, resolving for them their unknown aspirations for the new year.
We pick up where she left off on 1/1/10...
I’m also resolving for Lady Gaga to quit wearing her underwear outdoors when it’s that time of the month, and for Timbaland, and Shante’ Broaddus to lose weight with me, Big Tone Sanders, and Polow tha Don . Speaking of losing weight, I haven’t had any fried chicken all year and it’s about to kill me. Eating chicken wings, French fries, and potato chips is the new sex for me. I know I have no business indulging but I just get so weak. Fries and chips, those are cheap hoes I can easily resist, but I’ve never been so seduced by anyone like I have the fried or flavored chicken wing. I swear I hear those sweet, saucy whispers calling my name. Angel...Aaaangel...Visions of headless, glazed chickens in bow-ties dance in my head. The California Raisins can’t measure up to these show-stoppers.
Lord, I pray, ‘cause only you can curb this lustful desire of mine.

It's the New Year, Baby!
HPAPY AND PROPSERUOS NEW YEAR!
How I spelled that is indication of how much I have going on in my brain. I have a ton of things I want to write about but I’m unable to unify my thoughts enough for it to make sense to anyone else. Here’s an attempt.
12/31/09
• Another few days, another few hundred dollars spent…It’s funny how I knew that day should and more than likely would come that I’d be saying that, but then I felt like it would never come, and now that it comes at times I’m happy, yet I kind of still can’t believe it, but really I know and believe there’s so much more.
• THIS IS A TEST, THIS IS ONLY A TEST! IN THE EVENT OF A REAL FORTUNE I WOULD HAVE RECEIVED INSTRUCTION THAT ONLY GOD’S AUTHORITY IS CAPABLE OF PROVIDING. I REPEAT: THIS IS ONLY A TEST.
• IT’S OFFICIAL - I immediately shut down at the sound of Li’l Wayne’s voice. It’s like I seize and tune completely out. As a result I’m missing out on some good tunes, but I just can’t any longer stand the sound of his auto-tuned voice since he did a remake to Lollipop’s track for every day of this year. I would however listen to him all day long for a week, if he’d let me be caretaker of his Florida home for a week.
• My New Show - I Wanna Work for Diddy Makin’ Da Band…yeah right…only if I could send him on an extended vaca’ while we shoot.
• Something else that’s official is Diddy can make anybody a star except for Da Rejects from Da Band! Cassie is our example. However talented the people in that group may be/have been, the world is less polluted with them off radar. But I did like me some ‘Ness
• And is it just me and my child that sees it? Have you ever noticed that when Mary J. smiles she kinda frowns at the same time, and those 3 lines in the middle of her forehead give it away, plus the blinking of her eyes like she’s trying real hard to hold on to it with everything she got while she talk? Well, now the whole world wide wicked web has given us a clue since she done gone and bust Kendu upside da head. I love you, girl. BK all day!
• Just can’t hold it in any longer…Kanye should produce and be featured on a track with the Chipmunks since it’s getting harder and harder to tell if it’s him or Alvin holding Amber Rose’s hand in photos. Besides after their Squeakquel they could take his career to a new level.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1/1/10 RESOLUTIONS
While I resolve to continue loving, congratulating, and never hating I must get back to being as real as a comedian should be and therefore, I will make some resolutions for others that may neglect to do so. As my time is short, I will continue these into the New Year, if I leave someone out, please feel free to make your own resolution for them.
Here goes:
We must always start w/the (wo)man in the mirror so I resolve to pursue my career aspirations more aggressively and still prayerfully, work out more regularly, be a better homemaker , be more responsible and organized and love myself more.
-Monique will resolve to just do stand-up, acting, and dancing w/Beyonce’, and leave the talk shows to us less accomplished talented. You’re mentioned first because I love you so much, Mo. And while I’m on queens…
-Som’more will resolve not to do any more movies ever, unless she’s doing stand-up in them, and she will resolve to let Chris Rock have his voice and style to himself. Love you, girl. Call me…on the phone, not out of my name.
-Polow tha Don and I are both going to lose a lot of weight…a lot! He’s got the money to do it quicker than I can. I hope someone tells him about his resolution I made for him.
-My best friend is going to quit trying to push up on me. (hehehe)
…to be continued, as long as God allows me to be continued.
