I cannot go without giving thanks. I would be here all day if i name them. I mean even he little things. Just to be able to wake up is a blessing. Also you have use of my limbs and my senses are a blessing. Some don't have that chance. Somebody was in an accident or in the middle east and lost their arms or legs. Some are not able to see or smell right now. I can say I have that. Yes I had things happen to me. I been without a job for a while. I got diagnose with diabetes this year. But you know what, these things just make me stronger. I give God the praise. Cause believe me i will not be here without him. The year is almost over but believe me there still more year to go. I hope everybody had a great Thanksgiving. |

I didn't realize that it been a long time since I been on Live journal. I'm still alive. I guess I need to give a recap since the last time I posted. I posted back in Dec of last year and since then. I started a new job. I started working for the State of Georgia. I am working as a customer service representative for DFACS. I mostly answer questions and make changes to Food stamps, Medicaid, and TANF cases. I been here since March of this year. Its a job and helping to pay bills so its cool for now. I'm actually on the look out for a position in another division. Suppose to pay more but a little more in detail and less calls. We'll see what happens on that. In July, I found out that I have diabetes type II. I wondered why i was so thirsty and have to go to the bathroom so much. Since i had insurance. i might as well use it. I check it out and found out my sugar lever was well over 500. So I had to spend the next 24 hrs with an iv in my arms trying to get my levels down. Well at least I had a private room, with no view lol. Now I got to check my levels and take meds. I slipping lately. But I got to get back on my game. I want to be off these meds next year. I have taken the basic skills test of the GACE. GACe is the teachers certification exam in Georgia. I was nervous but I passed though. Next year I'm doing a subject test for middle grade math. Wish me luck. I have also joined a church. How bout this for a start of 36th year of life. I joined on my birthday. I joined Mount Zion Baptist Church. One of my best friends and her family invited me. I felt comfortable being that I know a lot of people there already. from old classmates and professors and old co-workers. Even my congressman attends the church. But the Pastor have some good sermons though. I like it. the next thing is that I am a Avon Rep Yep. I got back in the Avon thing. Not many can say that they started a business for $10 bucks. if you looking for some Christmas gift or just want some Avon products check my site out youravon.com/rpbrooks76. Don't worry I have some ads coming every now and then. Oh if you're an expecting mother or have a newborn or know of someone check out the baby line. Tinytillia.com. just choose Reginald Brooks as your Representative. I plan to post some ads. I will also try to post more often. I never been good at that. alright until next time. |

Wow. It seems like yesterday that I was thinking about what I wanted to do this year. This year have brought some ups and downs. However I have to think about the sermon I always listen to and use my favor over my famine. Everyone has a famine of some type. It can cause unbalance in your life. My firing have shaken my balance. However, I always had some good times either with my family, my friends and ITB. Those good times have been my favor over my famine. I have to say laughter is a great medicine. And believe me I have laughed just about every day if not every other day. There was no reason for me be depressed. I thank God for my good and bad times. It allow me to look for him alot. My faith have become stronger. I know a breakthrough will happen. When? I don't know. But it will happen. I believe it and I'm praying for it hard. I realize everytime something happen. I get something even better later. In the mean time, I'm getting back in the groove of learning things and planning things as well and working behind the scenes. I can't wait for 2011. I see a new job and being back in school. Some debts are going to be paid off finally. I cant wait. With the Lord as my guide, 2011 will be a a great year and the start of some interesting things in my life.
I wish everyone a great new years and hope that you reach your goals. |

First of all I have to say prayers are going out to Darnell Matthews Family and then the brothers and sisters of KKPSI and TBS @ ASU.

Sup ppl. Its been a long time coming. Try update you on what been up since the last time I posted on here. Since I haven’t posted I don’t know what to say. Lol. Umm not much has been going on. Still working and writing. I became 12 yrs old in the psi. I ‘m better at pool. I been working on the pro tables now. Sometimes I get back on the small tables but I my game is better than usual. Even beat the owner for once. I do not have the license yet. I will work on it though. I have no choice now. In the summer I plan on moving. I was going to do it in June but I decided to wait to make sure the job is still in tact. So I will be moving in july. Its going to be a trip but it’s a must. I almost gave up on love again. However I see I need to do some things for myself for a change. Some potentials have came up but their not worth my time. *sigh*. Believe me it been a trip and it still a trip. maybe in the future. But one thing I like about having ladies as friends. I know what not to do. Lol. Now one thing I do need to say I’m happy that I do have my computer back and I have a new phone. Yes I have entered the world of blackberry. If you got one my pin is 24a8895b. I would make sure I sending up prayers from Dwayne Marshall and his fam. Bruh we with ya in spirit. She’s in a better place and now you have another angel watching ya. Much love frat. Joseph…Just want to say I love ya son. Keep doing good in school and remember to be better than the next person and always be yourself. |

Sup
Sup Ppl. First of all congrats to Tyler Perry for a great movie. Family that prays get 2 thumbs up from me. I'm not giving any details. Just go see the movies. Let's just say this. Dont be stupid and Cheaters dont win.
Let me say this. We all go through alot of things. However, its what we do after that shows who we are. You cannot stay down. Let me say that again. YOU CANNOT STAY DOWN!!!!! Do the damn thing. You know they say when one door close another door opens. Look for the doors that opens. I have been through some things. this weekend was a trip. My phone messed up again. It started to go numb on the left side of the keypad.so my 1 button can push and 4,7,and * is hard to push. I couldn't get it down. I search my phone site to find a phone. I will be upgrading soon. Like this week soon. I have no reason not tow. the phone I'm looking for is free. and all I got to do is play my upgrade fee. so I will be god. The phone will be a motorola Rizr Z9. I'm check places now about a computer. My computer died as well. one place told me I need a mortgage/lease in my name so now I got to see what I can do with someone else but i'm keeping my options open. i need a computer. especially to be able to go back to school. I'm not giving up. Its going to be on. Got to hustle. Its going to be on for real. I aint playing any games. got things to do.
I'm getting back into my writing again be ready. For those who already know, once again its on. i know u ready for whats going to happen.
Got to say RIP to my co worker rick. To his murderous haters, karma is a motherfucker. |

Sup people yeah it been a while. I'm in the background doing things. I have alot of things planned. Just getting the motivation to get the move on. Some peeps already know one thing that going on. If you dont know, you wont know till I put it on here. Its going to be on. I'm hoping that a lot of changes and new things will be coming out for my next yr of life. Believe i'm going to be hustling and researching things.
My birthday is thursday. I dont really have anything planned as always. Just be happy to see another day. I get paid that friday so I proablly treat myself to something and go out to eat. I really want a massage. So i'm going to look for a cheap one. And proablly go to pizza Hut. Havent been there in a while. So let see.
Looking back at 32 yrs of life. I have to admit I'm disappointed as well content. There's things I should have been taken care of and I going to work on that. I been procrastination so much. It bad to think of new ideas and then putting something on the back burner. i will try not to do anything new now until i get some of my old stuff. Or at least attempt to do it. so for this coming yr. I need to get to a level that I feel comfortable to move on with new ideas. so wish me luck.
Got to show love to the family of Albany Hero DJ Vinson, King of Comedy Bernie Mac, and Musical Legend Issac Hayes. |

| Father Day Apartment. |
[Jun. 16th, 2008|06:11 pm] |
Well father's day was yesterday. called but as usual just a phone ring. But you know I'm actually going to put it in Gods hands now. I'm doing everything I can. I have failed at times. But I AM GOING TO AND WILL ALWAYS BE THERE FOR MY SON.
Joseph I know U may not be able to read this yet. But know I love you and I'm there for you. I know you dont see me everyday but Know that you are in my heart everyday. Congrats on going to 1st grade.
Daddy
Besides this, I actually look at 2 places. Nice. its between two things. An apartment that has a small kitchen and pays the garbage and water. Or A place with a bigger kitchen that I have to pay all my utilities. hmmmm that going to be hard to decide. I'm a big boy so space matters to me. I got one place I want to look at but because it was hot and they wasnt answering the phone so i didnt go.
Well I think about it for me. Well wishes to all the real fathers and step father and mothers. You are the reason that make me want to be the best man and father for my child.
For those fathers that has those girls that keep them from the children. I feel ya. Put it in Gods hands. I have and I feel much better and clearly thinking what I must do. Some of us are luckier than others. I just hope that one day you have the chance of doing what you want to do. |
