Confessions of Me[Aryssa Grace]

I'm the youngest of three girls, and with my oldest sister being married for seven years and getting older and my middle sister not wanting to have kids, I never thought I would have any nieces or nephews. So, when the news came that my oldest sister was pregnant, I was in shock. She hadn't wanted children due to her demanding job.

As the months passed and Amber's belly got bigger, I couldn't wait for the arrival of my new baby niece or nephew! Everyone thought it was going to be a boy, while I alone just new it was going to be a baby girl. And was I right? I do believe so! We went in for an ultrasound when Amber was around six months and when we saw that the baby had what the doctor called a "powder puff", the only response I could come to was tears rolling down my face.

On September 9th, 2008, Aryssa Grace Brannan was born. A joy she was. Of course she had some lungs on her, but I didn't mind. I had always been the oddball of my family. I used to think that I was adopted because I didn't look a thing like anyone. Everyone had green eyes and brown hair, while I had blue eyes and blonde hair. With no surprise, to this day EVERYONE believes that Aryssa is my daughter because she has blue eyes and blonde hair (Her mother and father have green eyes and brown hair too). I just say yes she is, because if that's what others honestly think of me, then they deserve a lie. Haha.

Now, nearly two years later, she has been a great part of my life. I never thought such a little person could hold so much love for the world in their tiny body. She has been such a great joy. And she loves talking to people, sharing with others, and hugging. Her favorite singer? None other than Justin Bieber! And she could go for days listening to him. She so sweet and loves to eat haha!

I love this little girl so much, and I can't wait until she's older so that I can spoil the hell out of her! YES! I'm one of those Aunts!

Confessions of Me [JD Williams]

JD Williams is an actor best known for his role as Preston "Bodie" Broadus on HBO's The Wire and Kenny Wangler on HBO's Oz. He has appeared in many music videos, such as, Mariah Carey's "Through The Rain", Tupac's "Ghetto Gospel", Lumidee's "Never Leave You", and Cam'Ron's "Lord You Know." He has also credited such films as "Snipes", "4 Life", "Pooty Tang" and several cameos in these well-known TV shows: a main character in The Kill Point, The Sopranos, Sex and the City, and Homicide: Life On The Street.

Almost every appearance we see of JD is none other than his typecasting of a drug dealer/gangster. Other than these roles which have made us fall for this amazing actor, he has also appeared in print ads for Live by Karl Kani and Def Jam University clothing lines.

It's nearly impossible to find any other information than what is listed above. I figure, maybe, if we push it far enough, we can get someone out there to give us a little more and maybe even see more of him in upcoming projects.

We all may have first seen him as the young gangster who entered Oz's Em City for shooting a peer, but we first fell for him when we saw him as Bodie, a young drug dealer in The Terraces in Baltimore, MD. Many people, whom I have asked, say that his smooth brown eyes and loyalty to his crew are what made them weak in the knees. I know when I saw Bodie get shot by O-Dog, I was not only devastated to see my favorite character die, but also pissed at this kid who shot him. In my eyes, the show was never the same without him, but still quite decent.

True, The Wire is what brought JD to fame, and many will always see him as Bodie, but we know his talent and hope for the day where we can see him in an even bigger light. Maybe a movie with Terrance Howard, Jennifer Lopez, Columbus Short, and even a reunion with "The Wire" cast-mate Idris Elba.

JD has been my favorite actor ever since I first saw him in Oz in the year of 1997. Thirteen years have passed since then, and there has been no one who can compare. It could be because I was 6 when I first saw him, and he was my first crush[come on, I was 6 people], or maybe it's because I know he has wonderful talent and a heart that pushes him to be devoted to his roles. After all, it's said that he walked around Baltimore all night before the first day of shooting for The Wire so that he could get a feel for it.

I wanted to conduct an interview with JD for my show on YouTube, but like I said it's damn near impossible to find any new information on him, much less a way of contacting him or his publicist. So, with hope, maybe he'll see the video I do post, and he'll jump on that.

This Episode of my show will be edited and posted by 10 PM tomorrow night. I hope you tune in to watch.

To JD- Your fans love you and want to not only see more of you, but know more. We're always here for support. I really would like to interview you for my show on YouTube- "Confessions of Me". We hope to hear about a new project you're working on soon. Take care and have peace.

Confessions of Me [Intro]

My blog will serve as my outlet and my getaway.

Some days will just be storytelling of what goes on in my day to day life, and others will be an outline of my YouTube show of the same name as this blog.

I play fair, and I tell my own opinion. If you have something to say, feel free to say it.

My words are my own, there is no disrespect here. Just opinion.

I'm not known to insult. I'm a caring person who has compassion for others, even those who honestly don't deserve it and those who I personally do not know.

Remember, YOU are not obligated to read this. If YOU see something YOU don't like, leave. I have no obligation to you or any other person who CHOOSES to read my posts. It is simply words of my own honesty.
