I have a lot of enemies & very few friends, because some people can't handle the truth and misery loves company. If you ain't with me, you against me, so I hope you step out my way so I don't have to step on ya toes.
In my life, I've lived & definitely learned. I had too much fun along the way, but I also had some moments of despair & I never wanna feel those feelings again, so I'm on a mission & been on one for a while now.
But why I gotta keep being tested? The thought of giving up has crossed my mind too many times, but I never did. Here I am, still going, working to succeed.
I want it all... seriously. I AM willing to do the work it takes. I promise. You'll see. No matter how many times I get pushed down, I'll still get back up, as long as my heart is still beating, I'm gotta keep keepin' on.
I've tasted the good life before, not in the right ways, but I had it. Lost it all countless times & I'm tired. I'm ready to hold on to it this time.
Anyone can tell ya about themselves, but who better to tell ya the truth about me, than those around me, those who are on the outside lookin' in. I could tell ya anything & maybe I truly believe it, but I asked a few close friends & family members to write me up a lil something instead.
Any of yall (& yall know exactly who I'm talkin' bout) who are lil late wit it... write me up a lil something & ya know I'm gone post your words for the world to see.
Now, for those of ya that don't know, most of the following is family, same blood or earned the title. They've been down for me & believe me, I would never let anything happen to any of them. I think most, if not all, of them know it.
So, here's what they had to say...
Kim (my sister):
My little sister: Where do i begin....Panda is a very motivated person. Since birth she has always had a goal. I think the goal was to succeed. No matter what. She has a love for life and is the best friend you could ever want. She will go to the ends of the earth to help a friend or family member out. Never fuck her over because you will regret it forever. She forgets nothing! Her talent is amazing. The gitl has a gift from GOD. She has so much more than she will ever utilize. She has overcome many obstacles and has won. She is strong, talanted, beautiful, and everything I want to be as a woman. You go little sis. I'm here for you always and forever.
Love , Kim
Stacy (1 of my best friends since 6th grade):
Wow talk about pressure! let's see...i can say alot about you (Mandy). You've always been there when i need someone to talk to...and yr always my first resort. I think u really love to prove a point and will do so until someone gets it! I don't really consider that argueing..since i do the same thing at times. Yr a great friend, and fun to hang out with, and yr always up to date or sometimes ahead of the latest trends, music, and technology. I am proud of what u've accomplished and what yr still tryin to accomplish. When u have something to say u say it, u don't care who it is, or what needs to be said and i respect that. And most importantly, the advice u give me is 99.9% accurate, so yr opinion means alot to me. I love u girl!
Amy (friend since 99):
Dang..it's hard to be put on the spot like this..and we have been through so much.....I remember the times in Chippewa, shawtown, the hotel, Twins Motor Inn, St. Paul(University ave), downtown Minneapolis, Eau Claire and back to north Minneapolis(26th and colfax) damn I forgot the time we spent on Ashland(haha)..oh hell and everything between all that, but i think the hardest time for me was when you were in Dallas cuz you weren't a hop, skip and jump away. We have been alot of places and seen/been through ALOT of things. I can sit here and tell you what an amazing person Mandyshea(haha) is but if you don't already know then you missed out. Mandy is the most loyal friend you can ever find, unless you cross her. But she is quick to forgive the stupid shit, she knows true friends will fuck up and she has the heart and love to look past that lil shit. Mandy is workin hard to make her mark in this world no matter what she has to face and that's been alot so far. I know she has been there for me in all the good, bad and stupid shit(we won't say no names..ha) and I wouldn't want anyone else on my side. I am proud to say that Mandyshea is my close friend. I hope you nothin but the best that life can offer. Don't let the drama get to you, if it's not someone you love then they ain't worth your time. I may not be there(in person) but I'm only a phone call away when you need me, just like you are for me. I love you like a sister!! Love always,Amy
Jennifer (friend since 03):
You's a down ass hood nigga. You skooled me wit da necessary skills to survive the pent. Wit ya demeanor, talents & wisdom you upgraded dis lil playa into a fresh to death bitch. You speak da mind despite tha contrary & tha norm. You's da truth. You persisant, you ain't stoppin'. You do what you do & you good at what it is. Wit ya they ain't no drama...(and if they was i got ya back, just lock n load aimin' for tha onez tha misrepresent). On some real shit, you is my girl and tha time we kicked it in ECCJ was dope. You is on fire and i ain't tha one to put ya out cuz you need to be blazin' on your block. I love ya and you is my girl that be shinnin' brighter than tha stars....
CC (neighbor/friend since 04):
You have to be one of the coolest chics that I've met in years. I meet people all the time and they don't make thecut...You on the other hand I feel like will be a friend for life. You will be right there to help people out even if it does make you a few minutes late to whateva you were doing...LOL.. Or listen when listening is in order. Above everything else your just real. Those are just a couple of reasons why I will keep you around...I don't have all day to sit here and brag about you...LOL....Peace
Again, the rest of yall, I'm still waitin... but ain't holdin' my breath.
Who I'd like to meet:
I'm just trying to get my head on straight, figure out who I am, what I want, how I'm gonna get it, and really make something of myself for myself and my family. I like to do well, and I can't wait 'til I'm on top of the world, with not only my family, but my close friends too. They (the friends) rarely (I didn't say never, cuz we all do. We're human.) ain't there for me when I need them... Just like I try to always be there too.
I got 1 degree and am currently working on my second, and I doubt I'll be done after that either... Maybe my bachlors is next... After that, maybe another degree... If nothing else, I'll be learning the rest of my life.
Now that I'm old enough to know better, I love getting educated. It's knowledge. Knowledge is power. Power is respect. Respect is money. Money can not buy me happiness, but money can buy me plenty of things & pay the bills which will cause me a lot less stress in my life & help me be happy.
For the past few years, I've been spending a lot of time figuring out who & what's important in my life & cutting out the people & things that aren't or are just holding me down. So, sure, I may have lost a few so-called friends along the way, but I gotta do what's good for me & I need those that can motivate me to constantly do better.
There's a point in your life when you get tired of getting involved in everyone's drama & trying to fix everything. It's not giving up. It's realizing that you don't need certain people, the bullshit and the drama they bring.
I wanna be happy & wanna build myself an empire... got any ideas or advice? =)
Mandy, your secret to success is to be Ambitious.
You have high aspirations for your life and tend to expect the best from yourself and those around you. Because of your ambition, it's also likely that you've developed a pretty clear vision of your future and are working steadily to achieve it. Sitting back waiting for opportunities isn't your typical style. In fact, the people around you can probably spot the "can-do" attitude that glows from within you from a mile away.
Your ambition puts you in a good light in front of colleagues who probably view you as extremely resourceful and driven. They see this in you each time you make a quick decision or draft up a new plan before it's even asked for. For you, sitting around and waiting for the next project to drop from the sky is not a way of life.
The road to success is not straight. There is a curve called Failure, a loop called Confusion, speed bumps called Friends, red lights called Enemies, caution lights called Family. You will have flats called Jobs. But, if you have a spare called Determination, an engine called Perseverance, insurance called Faith, a driver who never gives up, you will make it to a place called Success.
This is my Myspace page. It's not real life or my whole life. There's a lot you don't know about me and probably never will. Make assumptions if ya want to. I share what I want & keep private what I choose. It's just Myspace. If it's your whole life, you need to get a real one.
As for mixing pleasure with business and business with pleasure... THEY ARE VERY SEPERATE TO ME, except the fact, that I LOVE what I do. In other words: I don't care if we don't get along on the streets, if we can both benefit to make some money off of a project/job together, I'm here right here, lets talk. Ain't goin no where no time soon. =)
