Well, I promised that I would post a blog today, but I never promised that it would be at least five hundred words. I’m gonna try to make an attempt at it, though—so here goes everything!
Yesterday evening, I was watching a clip on YouTube in which one Mean Gene Okerlund was interviewing the legendary Randy “Macho Man” Savage. After the interview was over, Mean Gene said: “Some are born into greatness, while others have it thrust upon them—and some others steal it. Which have we seen? It’s not for me to decide.”
I said all that to say this: Ever since my Rust College debut a little over a year ago, I have noticed that the guys have been giving me a lot of attention. I hate to bring up that jerk-ass Richard Cornelius, but unfortunately I’ve got to. And then of course, there was Mr. Hernandez from my high school days… but that’s neither here nor there. Lately, however, I’ve got fellow Rustite and future college alum Craig Dixon crushin’ after me; we’ve been chattin’ it up for a minute now. And then there’s my secret admirer whose identity has still yet to be revealed—and Ruby still has kept the name clandestine; she ain’t spillin’ the beans at all! I gotta give Ruby credit for keeping a secret; she’s really good at that.
Now, as it relates to what Mean Gene said about popularity and greatness, I guess if I had to choose, I would say that it has been thrust upon me. While I’m only nineteen years old, I’ve never really fashioned myself as a popular chick. I will freely admit that in high school, I was no Halle Berry, nor was I Gabrielle Union—and I sure as heck ain’t no Tina Turner! Hell, I’ll go y’all one better and say that I’m not even my mom or my Auntie Cherri! I have always been Natasha Renee Stewart, the petite little background chick, and I like it that way. And while I’m thinking about it, I want to once again reiterate something that I mentioned last year: I came to Rust College to learn how to be the best damn kindergarten teacher in the world. Granted, I do appreciate the attention that I’ve been getting, but I am not setting out to be the most popular chick in Bearcat Country… okay, so I’ve thrown my name in the hat for Miss Rust College 2015-16, but that’s only because I want a challenge. Besides, according to my dad and my uncles, I’m a knockout anyway!
Well, I guess I’d better close this post, but I’ll be back tomorrow with a “greaten!” You read correctly—it’s not a gooden, but it’s a greaten!
Hugs & Kisses,
Natasha
