"Woman Like Me"


Loves to glamorize anything she involved in...

So complex that some people get her and most just give up

Then so simple she mostly goes with the flow and always down

Its hard loving a Woman Like Me

Even her Mommy agrees

She loves attention, but it depends from who..

Constantly changing her style..her ways but never change the person she is..

She may seem vein, but her looks are only outer beauty

Deep down is a beautiful soul that only few get the opportunity to see.

Damn, its hard being a Woman Like Me

Could be a trophy wife..or desperate housewife but she chose 2 find true love that's unconditional..

That's hard to obtain even if your not a Woman Like Me..

Many dreams and goals she will accomplish..

Just love people to be down for the ride

Sometimes she get frustrated with herself like why can't she be normal..want the regular things

Then she remember who she is..

She doesn't think normal so how can she settle for less

Want for people to love her for her

Not what they want her to be

To trust her because her intentions are well..

Wants to upgrade everyone in her life

Her decisions are not wise sometimes

Learns the hard way, but justifies each action with heart

A Woman Like Me is far from perfect Has all the flaws you can imagine

But what's unique about A Woman Like Me...

She's true to Dominique..

"You Control Your Happiness"


I went to NC (North Carolina) this past weekend to my cuz baby shower and basically get a break from the hustle of NY..Lately I haven't really had a lot of time to dwell on myself and the simple things in life..So as I travel on the greyhound for 16 hrs to my destination I had a time to reflect on myself and what's going on in Damo's World and of course get much rest as possible..To make a long story short I realized I'm truly blessed and happy. Yes we let the little things overcome the fortunes we are blessed with and the opportunities that come about..It made me dwell on the things I can control and I found out all the things that I need are right here, I just haven't been using the tools and blueprint I was given correctly..Once I arrived in NC my fam and I went to dinner that nite (Chinese restaurant) and I always read my fortune cookies..I always pick the one that pointing in my direction and this is what it said "Traveling to the south will bring you unexpected happiness". I mean what more can I say on that matter. At my moms house I was going thru her magazines so I could have some reading material on my way back home on the Amtrak I came across "Essence" magazine with Gabrielle Union on it looking fierce with her new hair cut..(I recently cut my hair also) so I became instantly interested..As I looked through the magazine I came across this article named "the pursuit of happiness" let me tell you this blew me away..please if u can find this issue please do so "July 2008" issue. Basically its a article about YOUR HAPPINESS and fulfill your life and dreams. There is a quiz to test your happiness and then u access ur score n evaluate what's the changes n advice to keep you happy. I loved 2 parts of this article one is "The Seven Habits of Happy People" 1. Hang out with joyous people 2. Move consistently toward your goals 3. Meditate on your blessings 4. Be good to yourself 5. Connect..Connect..Connect.. 6. Go to Church-any Church 7.Give and Forgive and "Find Your Bliss" which a fill-in sheet that you write down about a more-than ordinary day..u make copies of this paper and every time u have a peak experience u write about it..this is something that I will practice and I suggest everyone should. To remind us of those happy moments in our lives. We are so quick to talk about the negative things that we simply forget about what's important in life..OUR HAPPINESS..As I conclude this blog that turned into a article itself I leave you with a few quotes from this issue...


"Don't wait around for other people to be happy for you. Any happiness you get, you've got to make yourself" -Alice Walker"


If you are unhappy with anything, whatever is bringing you down, get rid of it. Because you'll find that when you're free, your true creatively, your true self, comes out"

-Tina Turner

This Used to Hurt....



Can't believe that I can still talk to you knowing that it hurts that you could want something that was apart of me..
I wanna believe that you are my friend but I have my doubts because I could never do that to you..
I'm not fully right in this ordeal but my feelings for him were real
Its like he turned from me and right to you..you just excepted it like it was meant to be
Wanna tell you that its just not right..but then I look like I'm selfish and just being jealous
There no need to hate..
I cared, I miss the times we had
Can't believe I hurt you so much that you felt you had to jump to the one that was the closest..
I'm being the bigger person in this..
Its gets harder somedays
As each day goes by it gets better to except
I know what's meant to be
Can't believe that this happened to me
Things happen for a reason
So I'm living It..Leaving it to Change..

"Second Chances"


In the 09, I recently just received 2 second changes.... First, last month I had the wonderful experience and opportunity to work with Ankh Ra (vocal coach from Making the Band 4) in a vocal workshop and then compete for a chance to be in his showcase. Anyone who knows me, knows that I wanna SING...That's my true happiness, The air I breathe. The workshop was such a wake-up call for me to stop dwelling on the reasons why I ain't make it yet and focus on how I will get there NOW. I'm kinda glad I didn't make the showcase because I wasn't ready. So I received a email stating that I was chosen for another workshop next month and to compete for the showcase in March. I am soooo HAPPY!!! The tools and fundamentals I learned from the first workshop I can apply them to this next workshop and definitely give it my TRUE ALL and I guaranteed that I will be in this showcase. This is MY DESTINY.




My 2nd Second Chance is kinda two way thing like I'm giving him a second chance and he is giving me a second chance. We are just getting to know each other deeper. Starting fresh I guess you can say. I'm giving him this opportunity because not like alot people in my life he has learned how to forgive and move on forward because he sees the person that I am and understands where I'm coming from. I learned from him that you must give things TIME. "Time is the Biggest Weapon and My Arsenal ;)". In time you will see people worth and you will see if things will stay or slowly move away. I don't need people who will dip in and out of my life, I need a friend who is going to be there through the thick and thin. Only a few people that I can count on my fingers I can truly depend on and know they got my back and he is added to the list.


Since I been given Second Chances, it only right that I give someone a second chance. What you are given, you must give back to someone else I feel. I'm giving my Moms a second chance, she deserves it. We all think our parents are suppose to be perfect and just understand and support everything we do. Well reality check, they don't. My mom has never really supported "My Music". She always thought that it was some pipe dream of mines. Throughout the last couple of years our relationship has suffered because of it. I became distant and resentful towards her not intentionally but she hurt me by not supporting me and basically believing in me. It took a toll on my confidence and till this day in my beliefs of making it. After all that, she is slowly coming around and being supportive. Most importantly believing that I can make it. At first, I didn't except that fact and had no faith in her support. I never really thought it was true, genuine. I see now that she is true and that she sees that this is who I am, My DESTINY. She knows that she has to be apart of it or it wouldn't be the same. I could never see myself making it without her by my side. So as I write this and let go of all the things she may said and the things I said, its not worth living it unless you have the people around you that you love sharing it with you.

"DIVA"




Beyonce's definiton of DIVA...

1.A sucessful and glamorus female preformer or personality

2. especially: a female singer who acheieved popularity


When I start heard "I Am..Sasha Firece" I was kind disappointed because I felt like this should of been like the greatest album from her. I mean "Sasha Firece" is suppose to be the alter ego to Beyonce, that makes her the great perfromer she is. I am a Beyonce supporter so of course I grew to like the album. Well the Sasha Firece portion of the album. My fav songs are "Radio" "Sweet Dreams" and "Scared of Lonely" and finally "DIVA". When I first heard "DIVA" I was like WTF is goin on..is this the female version of "A Milli"..LOL So I continue to listen to the song

and it grew on me. I feel like every woman has their alter ego that let them know that they are a DIVA. What she stating is so true about herself, She is a DIVA. I feel she has proven that she a verstile entertainment and personality.

"What you said?? Not to Me..She ain't No DIVA" That's my fav part of the song. She basically saying that people always saying she ain't Hot but they won't say it to her face. I feel you B. Keep doing your THING..You a DIVA in my eyes. I know one day when its my time I will be saying the same thing to my alter ego and my Haters.

Stripper Need Love 2....



On Sunday, I learned alot and grew respect for a new profession. You asked what profession?? Strippers well Female Strippers. I host a party for a friend of mines not knowing what I was really getting into to. Basically it was a Stripper Party for Men, I had my seconds thoughts about what impression people would have on me. I'm concerned about what people think of me all the time (which is something that I need to work on). Then I thought to myself I'm going there to get names on the Email Guest List and just Host so I was like I do it. I thought if I feel some kind of way, I wonder what the Strippers would think of me. As if, I would look down at them. At first, I felt like how could these girls come out here and just not care and drop it like its hot then pick up dollar bills and go to the next man like its nothing. That takes GUTS in my MIND. I know I could not do it.

I kept my distance at first, and you can tell by my face that in a way I kinda looked down on them. They looked at me as if "She thinks she better than me" "She looking down on me". Then I re-evaluated my thinking and thought to myself I would never want someone to look down on me. So I began to introduce myself to the strippers and having small conservations like they were another chick I saw in the club. We all have common interest and concerns. Then I met another stripper who really changed my own perception, I introduced myself to her and she was like Wow,we have the same name. The fact that she told me her real name showed me that she was cool and trusted me. She was quite nervous more around me then around the men. Then she asked me a question "Do you think its wrong if I do this??", I looked at her honestly and I meant this from the bottom of my heart I said "Nah girl, do your thing and get that money". I really meant it. Who am I to judge anyone. Who says the things I do are better than her. We are all equal, no one is better than the other. I really see myself changing and being a very open-minded person about alot of things. I'm not saying I could ever be a Stripper because I can't. That's just not my steelo. Feel me. I just feel that circumstances and experiences come into our lives and its our option to learn and capture life lessons from them.

Changes....

Changes...Changes...Changes

We all say we wanna change right? "I wanna be a different person" "Better Me". So we come up with this game plan in our mind about how we will change and the things we will do differently. Then we find oursleves as back at square ONE. Different places, Different people but the same situations. As a evaluate my life right now, I been going around in circles for a while since like 18 and wonder why I haven't got so far. Don't get me wrong I am grateful for the things that I have (good job, good health) but never fully satisfied with my LIFE. It's because I haven't been honest with myself and the things I really want from life. I always get derailed by things I think is good for me temporary, not looking toward my future. Whats going to make me happy today, not worrying about tomorrow. So as 09 approach, alot of things in my LIFE did a 180 in like a number of days. I mean the last week of December it all fell down. Everything that I thought was everlasting became extinct. A real wake-up call to why my LIFE have not changed. I put too much faith into people and not into myself. So I learned in order for things to change, you must have faith that you will change. Not the people in your life, not the situation . YOU. So everyday that pasts by I reflect on my actions and make sure that my time into everything is honest and worthy. We don't have much time, so the time we have must be the best time ever. I will not dwell on things from the past, shoulda woulda coulda don't exist in my vocabulary. Yes these thoughts will come about in my mind, but as soon as they do they will be destroy the moment they come into my mind. I write this today, as a reminder to myself and the people around me there is more to come from ME. This is only the BEGINNING...I was GONE but I'M BACK WITH A VENGEANCE...There are so many Goals and Dreams that I want, I need to happen. So please if you not about the Movement, MOVE GET OUT THE WAY ABORT RIGHT NOW...
