Last time we spoke I'd crossed the beautiful burning baby blue and gold sands of Kappa Psi Kappa Fraternity Inc., (hence my name, UNSHAKABLE!!!!), I was in a relationship of 2.5 years, still working full time, and being a party animal right?...Well, not anymore. I figured I'd take the time and sit down to write my blog cause there's so much goin on in my life right now that I could really use some feedback on. If nothing but to have my 360 fam look in on my life and say "damn boi, you been busy!", it'd mean a great deal. On January 3rd of this year I walked away from someone very near and dear to me. He still has a special place in my heart, but I felt that it was time to move on. I didn't wanna keep going thru the heartache and pain that seemed to find us at every corner. I won't go into detail, for it seems these days that some people don't know how to mind their own business, but if I feel you're close enough I'll let you in on the nitty gritty of it all.

Remember how I told you that I had goals that I wanted to pursue for this year (school, modeling, etc.)? Well...January 16th of this year, I began my scholastic journey at Cortiva: Chicago School Of Massage Therapy! Yes I am a college boy once again. I must say, it feels pretty good to be back in school. It's a year long program where I will learn the where-to and how's of giving great massage. I was always told I have great hands and use them well, so I figured why not. I'm really diggin' the program right now, and I can't get enough of it. Although I've come to find that there's waaaaay more to massage therapy than just rubbin' on folks lol. The mere science of it all is enough to drive you up a wall. Learning Anatomy & Physiology and all that jazz is a headache at times. And I still have yet to grasp a lot of the material, but my grades are showin' that I'm retainin' sumthin' in spite of my own judgment. So I feel ok. We've gotten thru the first semester, and I love my classmates. (quite an interesting lil' bunch). You'd be amazed at how close you get to people if you'd just get naked in front of them and let them soothe whatever ails you. ;-)

As for my modeling endeavors, just this past Tuesday, I had an interview with a company by the name of One Search Talents. A guy named Doug gave me a call, inquiring about an application I'd submitted to their website (which I must admit, I don't remember submitting...but I digress), and asked me to give him a call. After a few rounds of phone tag, I finally caught up with him, and set up an appointment to come in. I had to think fast, cause the dress code was a lil vague. He told me "wear something form fitting, but don't show up in a t-shirt and jeans." I was thinkin to myself "Damnit! I am the t-shirt and jeans king!!!! What am I gonna wear?!" So I headed over to my frat brothers to snag an outfit (the on that I'm in in the new pics), and headed to the interview. Got there, signed my name on the clipboard, and went to the waiting room where they were playing "Zoolander" on a flat screen (real appropriate right?) SO...this lady comes in and gives us this speech about modeling
and all the company has to offer, after, of course, they called everyone into another room, one by one, took our pictures and measurements. After the speech, we sat tight and waited for our one on one's. She called my name about 10 minutes in, and I went into a office where a young lass named Jessica awaited me. She asked me a few questions about why I wnated to model, what got me into it, what I was doing now, yadda, yadda, yadda. I was nervous as shit, and tryin to put my best personality forward and just be my bubbly self. She said that she loved my personality, and look and booked me for a second interview, which is today at 11!!! YAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY!!!! So cross ya fingers for me.

Other than all that, a brotha has been livin, lovin, and learnin all the same as the days go by. Still writing, so expect much more of that from me, cuz I have to tackle the other goal of mines which is to put out my book of poetry sometime this year, or early next year. Whew! I feel like I said a mouthful, and if you read through it all you must really love me! MMmmmmmwuah! ;-) Stay up my peoples! Till next time.

So the new year is here, and I must say that for once in my life, I can definitely feel the difference. I pray that all of my friends and family here in 360 land had a prosperous new years celebration, and that all the desires of your heart mind and soul be forfilled this year. I know most of you might be wondering what happened to me last year when I kinda took a bit of a hiatus. Can't remember the exact blog, but I think it was the one where I was talkin about my birthday, and I told you guys that I was doing somethin very special for myself, but I couldn't reveal it just yet. Well, I was on the marvelous journey to cross the beautiful burning baby blue and gold sands of KAPPA PSI KAPPA!! And just this past year (Dec. 16th to be exact), I was inducted into the brotherhood, and I must say, that I haven't felt this good in a long time. I have a brand new, HUGE family, that I love so dear, and I am just elated about. I am so ready for this year. Many new things have come about that are just waiting to be tackled by me. I start school on the fifteenth at Cortiva, the Chicago school of massage therapy. CAN'T WAIT for that. Gotta get back into the gym, I kinda took a lil holiday break, but a brotha is still down to 191 lbs. and I am only striving for excellence so that I can start my modeling career. Just so many blessings to be grateful about, and I wouldn't change it for the world. I also have someone in my life that has gotten so close in so little time. The man in the picture above you see, is my LB! You are TRULY "Irreplaceable", and I thank GOD for putting us on that journey together. I don't know what I'd do without you Mr. Rivers. Cuz "When the sun rose up each mornin', you could see the sun shinin' fa miles. Runnin' barefoot, thru da CUNNNNTTTRRRAAAAYYYYY!" Lmao!!!! (yu had to be there to get it folks. but my brotha knows what I mean.) I love you to pieces. Let's make this year ours baby boi! And to all my TKPHI fam, let's make it do what it do baby. From my Bold BROTHERS, to my Sensational SORORS, and my Bodacious BRUHS, I love you all baby!!!! THERE IS NO OTHER LIKE T K PHI!!!!! NONE!!!!! SKEEEEEET PSIIIIIII!!!!!! 01!!!!!!!
