One Down Two more to GO...........




One acting final DONE and two more to go.

Last night we had our final for Speech and I had to recite a monologue. I really liked my monologue and had been working on it for about a month. I will admit that it wasn't as OFFCIAL as it could of been because honestly I have been a little MIA psychologically, spread too thin, so you already know I was cramming at the last minute. Over Thaksgiving I was cramming it, at the airport on Wednesday night after my flight from Newark was delayed 3 times and I found myself in the Budweiser Lounge at 11:30 doing....... you can guess what... drinking Beringer listening to my iRiver Cliz bugging out and reminiscing.

So then this week came around so fast and I was a little on edge because aside from yesterday's final I have my movement final on Monday where we have to perfom a number from Blackbird and then on Wednesday we have our scene final. So the pressure has been high because of course half of the pressure is self-inflicted because you already know I am a COMPETITIVE brat and I want to be the BEST, hahaha.

I will be practicing all weekend like a crazy woman and then next week go out like a G. My scene is one of the weirdest thing I have ever performed which requires even more focus from me which is a battle for me because I am admittedly scatterbrained. I lose interest in things VERY fast, I am always searching for something better, more interesting & HOTTER!

BUT man after next wednesday it is on and CRACKIN'. I am going to ride this holiday season to the wheels FALL off! On Thursday MTV is having their holiday party and if you haven't heard about that you better ask somebody..imagine all of MTV, MTV2, MTVU, VH1, CMT, Spike TV, Comedy Central, Nick all at ONE PARTY!!! Then on Friday I am going to a party being thrown by Athletes for Charity and The NY Giants........ you can see where I am going with this.

Right now I feel like I am on the positive side which was once a very ridiculous chaotic period where I was doing WAY too much all at ONCE and my brain felt like it was already in the next destination before I was phyiscally there. Slowly week by week I have been weeding things OUT, and prioritizing and getting myself into a healthier mind frame so I can relax a little, enjoy the holidays, and get my BUSINESS into order.

I have also been re-connecting with many family & friends from all over; West Coast, Down South, NYC, "Hi", nice to get back in contact with you all, looking forward to hanging out, spending time, laughing and having some fun together : ) Family, glad to be here together working toward our collective goals, missions, and ministries. I went to church last weekend when I was in Florida and it was wonderful. It feels great to have a family, belong, be loved, LOVE, and feel like you are on the right track.

In case you wonder what my motivation is or what the H3$$ I am doing, don't try to figure it out, don't try to judge, classify or lump me in with what else you see out here. My purpose is beyong me & you, I accept that and that what keeps me waking up everyday and continuing. The sooner you accept it, we will get along and really do what needs to be DONE!

Don't hate me but.........

I LOVE Wendy Williams.

O.K., let me explain before you stone me to death.

I actually began my career in radio as an intern sitting in with Radio Jocks on their daily shows. I have actually worked closely and personally with about 5 different Radio Personalities not counting the ones I had to drive around in the Radio Vans or do appearances with.

My point in all of this is that I am sure there are plenty of other talented Personalities but I can't deny that Wendy Williams is one of the most talented Jocks I have ever listened too. I know you guys are gonna say "She gossips too much" and I agree some of the gossip is very harmful and sad for the people who have to suffer through that but my assessment is that even if she didn't gossip she would still be an amazing Radio Jock.

Now I can't say that I am not salavating as I wait for Nas's babies mom Carmen to come on

and drop her bombs like Superhead did to all these hip hop dudes. Is that wrong??? It is partly wrong because it is non of my business and I wouldn't want others in my business. But it is also human nature for people to be nosy (my grandad was NOSY, lol). All of these gossip mags & websites wouldn't be successful if it weren't for human curiosity (which sometimes is unhealthy). Maybe also people will make better decisions if they know that their scandalouns deeds will be put on BLAST!!

In other news I would like to give my condolences to the family of Mr. Bell who was killed here in Queens, NYC.

It seems like I leave for a weekend for the holidays and I come back and NYC is in shambles. It is very sad and PEOPLE, I hope that gets us thinking. ACTION??? What do we do??

Okay I am out for now. Muah!!

P.S. Shout out to my cousin Alexx Dupri she is another AMAZING Radio Jock!!

Hello!!! Hello There!! Yes, YOU, Hello!!

Hiya.... and welcome back to my Blog and HELLO to the newbies, welcome : )

To re-introduce myself (friends bare with me as I do this) my name is Dominique Jackson and I am an outgoing, happy, ambitious, HIGH STRUNG, young woman

I enjoy many things such as shopping, eating, watching movies, long walks in the park..................hahahahahaha. OK ENOUGH!!

Anyway hey family how are all ya'll doing?

I am pretty well (very blessed actually) still up to my same old madness. Today was a beautiful day in sunny Orlando, Florida. When I woke up I didn't really know if I should buckle down and do work or run some errands. I was feeling pretty creative this morning so I though I would lounge at home (I'm a hermit : ) but alas I had to go to the bank which would not be open tomorrow so I was FORCED to leave my house. The story of my life.

It is nice to be back in the burbs where I have my car and can feel the wind through my sunroof and all that jazz. Besides my mom thinks she is TOO cute driving around in my lil red car. PLUS you already know I got the ill BUMPS IN THE TRUNK so that ish be BANGIN, I like my music loud, tee hee : )

So I went to El Banco in Downtown Jamlando and decided I would visit my favorite vintage shop because online I saw they had this HOT Vintage Gucci Bag. I LOVE Vintage clothing and have a pretty nice collection of items.

After going to the above places and some other lil spots that are my secret I went to the new mall in on my side of town..Wessside.....hehehe.

I'm not much of a mall shopper but they had some pretty nice stores (Cheesecake Factory, yum). I didn't expect to really get anything because I rarely see stuff I like since I am so picky BUT oh sooky sooky now... I found myself in Zara getting this HOT gold dress. Then I had to go to VS and get this HOT black thing with flapper tassels (my secret) and then I found myself in the jewelry shop buying all these earrings, necklaces & bracelets. The thing about jewelry is the right kind can instantly UPGRADE your look so it is a MUST!

After buying some other stuff and hitting up some other stores I am HOME and everyone is sleep.

So I guess I will handle some business online and relax a little. At this point I have like 5 scripts to memorize and a photo shoot to orchestrate to it will be good for me to rest because in the back of my mind I know I have many responsibilites to fulfill.

Maybe I will hit the clubs manana ????

Muchos besitos at todos! xoxoxox
Tu Dominica

P.S. Happy Holidays to everyone!! I wish you & your families good health, happiness & safety this holiday season and in 2007+!!

P.P.S. Special Shout-out to my FAM; EZ & LJ love you guys - miss you! Keep GRINDIN, we gon make it!!, Miss Latray ANTM my lil' cousin reppin the BAY & the rest of the Whitney familia in Nueva Mexico, My Homies in Sea-Town, P.O., Jamlando............& NYC Baby!!
