Introducing the one and only, Tonesa Domunique. I am a 22 year old female. 5 foot 3 inches tall and 145 pounds of thickness. Mother of a beautiful two year old baby girl. I have my own car, a job and my own place out here in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I have dark brown eyes and dark brown shoulder length hair which I add to take away or change up often. Born to Tony & Teresa in the rainy month of April on the 22nd day of showers in the cloudy year of 1985, making me a taurus. The sign most known for its strength, and I must say I am one of the strongest people in this world to over come all that I have. Instilled in me was maturity, creativity, love, warmth, kindness, intellect and a hint of sass. Cross me and meet the bitch within.

 I like all kinds of things. I could name them all but that would take forever so I’m just going to be really random with it. So here goes… I love reading and writing whether it be short stories or poetry. I like to make graphics and take pictures. Although I don’t mind being in front of a camera. I mean that in the sense that I like taking pictures of other people, places or things; its kind of a hobby that I have. I would die without reeses pieces, sour patch kids, and doritos. Smirnoff twisted green apple owns your souls! Television wouldn’t be television if I couldn’t watch Family Guy, Robot Chicken, Boondocks or The Simpsons. I dont see how I could live my life without my ipod. Music is love. Neo-soul, hip hop, r & b, rap, little bit of rock & roll. If I had a thousand feet I’d rock every heel I could a the same time, and have enough arms to have the matching bags. I love St. Ives cucumber melon lotion and body wash. Cookies and cream ice cream makes me melt. Chocolate chip cookies are the best and I’ll take water over any soda or juice anyday. Mmm T.I can get stalked by me. Lil wayne’s an ugly fucker but
man I love his accent and the way that he talks. I wear my shades everytime i leave the house even when the sun isnt out cuz they are just FLY.

I live in an 2 bedroom apartment with my 3 year old daughter out in what some people call the suburbs in Grand rapids. Technically, I am in Kentwood, but whatever. Out here the “sub” is slowly being removed and it will soon just be urban. So many people move out here who don’t know how to act that I’m afraid they are going to tear down this little community. I guess I’d rather be out here than in the hood with my grandmother again. I’m at her house constantly because well, that’s my job. It’s like taking care of a child who smokes cigarettes, curses at you, and has a funky attitude most of the times you see them, and there is nothing you can do about it. I cant complain though because at least I get to see her and I know she is being taken care of. I’d rather do this than to see her hauled off to a nursing home and not know what’s going on with her. My mom is like my best friend so I see her almost everyday too. I check up on her to see if she needs something or to see if she needs to go anywhere and she does the same. I don’t really have to check on her so much now since she has a fiance and all. He’s taking care of her and she is more of a homemaker than a party person like she used to be. Only thing I really have to do is take her places since I am the only one with a car. That might not last too long so hey. It might just get to the point where she wont really “need” me at all. That would actually be nice. Being the most responsible “adult” in the family at the age of 22, is a hard job.

Out in The Open
Well, my social life isn’t really anything worth talking about. I have very few friends if any, every man I talk to turns out to be an asshole, and I’m not out running around to meet new friends. It takes time for you to become friends with someone, and I honestly don’t believe that you can find friends just by walking down the street. My best friend that I’ve known all my life and damn near have taken care of a few years out of her own, is no longer my best friend because she doesn’t understand the meaning of loyalty. I’ve always been there for her but it seems as if she is never there for me. Its a shame that my best friend (Shan) who I can tell ANYTHING to doesn’t even live in the same damn state as me. dating…what’s that? I haven’t had a real date in like…ever. every man I meet out here turns out to be an idiot. They always find a way to show their true colors then get mad at me because
I don’t fall for the bullshit. that’s why I don’t really go out unless I’m with family. I’m not trying to surround myself by people who can do nothing for me but bring me down. its not worth it.

My daughter, My joy, my all and my mini me…LaMariana DomUnique. She came along at a point in my life where I was honestly starting to believe that living my life was pointless. My life was going nowhere, I wasn’t doing anything with myself, and there was no motivation to do anything about it until she came along. The thought of another human life being my sole responsibility forever motivated me to get up and find a way out of this hole I dug myself in. I started going to school, I saved up money to move out, got me a car, and by the time she got here I had a LIFE. Sometimes I feel as if I’m only living for her. If it was just me I swear I would just give up. Knowing that I have to do for her is what keeps me going. I’d do anything for her. She is the joy in my life. I swear she can tell when I’m down because she finds a way to make me smile. She is the baddest little two year old I have ever come in contact with and yet, she is still an angel and I love her.

I have been attending Grand Rapids Community College off and on since the fall of 2003. Every time I go back I have a different major and every time I never follow all the way through. I think its because in the end its never what I really want to do. I was first majoring in psychology but having to remember every theory known to man turned me off from that. Child development, I don’t know what happened to that. I love kids, but I think me being a teacher in the end isn’t really what I wanted to do. Then I went BACK to psychology because I really wanted to be one of those people who could be there for someone and help them with their problems. Once again, I dropped it. I haven’t been back to school because my stepmother did something and the result had an effect on my financial aid. It had nothing to do with school but the government finds out everything. To this day I still don’t have that in order. Seems like trying so hard and failing to get back into school made me not want to go back. I also think that its because I haven’t found something I really want to do. I have to think about the end of it all. My major will lead to me career, and my career is something I will be stuck with for a while. If its not going to be something I enjoy then Jim not even trying to get stuck with it. I might just go to a vocational school. Get licensed so I can work in my mom’s friend’s beauty shop. That’s a passion that I have and I would love to do that. Good money and I’ll be surrounded by people and working with people I know.
I think I’ll take some online courses for web design and graphic design and actually go back to school for photography. Now the only thing to do, is to do it
