God
Grant me the serenity
to accept the people I cannot change
Courage to change the people I can
And wisdom to know
that person is me.

Amen.

i need to quit smokin

and this revelation isn't brought on by fear of health concerns
although it SHOULD be
cuz i hear the folks at work bitchin & moanin & complainin
about health care costs and hospital fees
and WHY THE HELL DO MY PRESCRIPTIONS COST SO MUCH
and i really try to be thankful that i'm not ill
or enfermed to the point where i have to take daily meds

so yeah that could be one motivation

but really i need to quit cuz i CANT AFFORD THAT SHIT!
aaaand they wanna raise the tax to make squares even more expensive...
between what i spend on bogeys, 'gars, and wacky tobaccy no wonder i can't save no money.

so yeah that's officially a goal.
i think.

maaaan its some aggressive women out here!

why come this girl like TRICKED me into takin her number? it was pretty clever how she did it too. between that lil interaction, and all of the IGNORANCE i witnessed out at all-star wknd, its pretty safe to say that its some BOLD young ladies out there. i'ma try to find a rap lyric to illustrate, lol.

Yo, its some aggressive women out there.

and who knows...

some how
this night, just might
lead us
into a place where
our emotion can grow
if we let 'em go

cuz who knows what
may happen
if we act on
our attraction and
lose ourselves
inside a world
made for us
and no one else
hey girl
just let me love yoooooou


yeah that nigga musiq is jammin!

wow...THAT escalated quickly! (c) Ron Burgandy

so how bout my week just flip-flopped gangsta-hopped from bad to good JUST that quick. from monday on i was in the MAJOR pits, but it took just a few pieces of good news to get me back on the Right Track and well on my way to having a good weekend.

~ i'm gonna be on a board of directors! i was JUST at lunch talkin to a friend abt our goals for the year, and my exact words were "i'm gonna be on SOMEBODY'S board before the end of the year. hell i mighta even typed that here once. you know i dont be payin me any attention. but yeah not even 8 hrs later i'm sittin down with the Executive Director of this org i'm a member of and he's tellin me i got nominated to be on the board! TIME FOR SOME NEW GOALS! :)

~ i'm in today's paper! okay so it's only the back of my head but its still my first time in the paper since like middle school honor roll or some shit. i was doin my daily newsreading, and i noticed they did a profile of the CDC where i got my homeownership training a few month's back. so i flip to page with the article, and the bigass picture they got in there is from MY homeownership class. with my rather large rather nappy head prominintely featured! yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. i bet somebody out there right now is lookin at the paper sayin "ooh, look at the back of THAT nigga head! i wanna meet him & have his babies right now!". well maybe not but thats how i imagine it in my head so that's how it is, buster.

~ another ticket extravaganza. i'm hopin to get my hands on tickets for both the college and NBA games tomorrow, and for the John Mayer concert next friday. i'ma have to check with some folks on that though, cuz i don't know ANYBODY else around here who would go to a John Mayer concert with me. but i wanna go tho!! :(

~ Rich Boy, order dat!
cook it fresh, in da back!
Hot Fries, salt pack!
just bought a Double Stack!

THOW SOME CHEESE ON DAT B*TCH!!

lol don't mind me, i'm rich.

class last night was a dammit TRIP.

i'm talkin about an endless sequence of escalatingly weird moments.

(wow i really liked that last sentence)


okay so lets start at the beginning. i arrive for class about 15 minutes early. stop at the starbucks in the lobby, grande white mocha for me cuz its cold as shit outside and i can just be bougie like that sometimes. cool. go upstairs still early for class to try and find room 321. find it, but as i approach the door is closed. i'm not sure if they started early and i'm late, so i carefully open the door to enter. i pull the door slowly and tiptoe in and...

...there's like a 6'2" 105lb woman standing up in the middle of the class singing "his eye is on the sparrow" LOUD AS (heck?). with a captive audience of like 20ppl! i'm just lookin at people and stumblin around lookin for a desk, cuz obviously nobody else thinks its weird that this chick is STANDING UP SINGING AT THE TOP OF HER LUNGS in a classroom, so fuck it i'll roll wit'it.

so she finishes and applause is given. turns out before i walked in they were talkin about American Idol and apparently this chick tried out last year and decided to show the ol pipes? iont know. but they asked her why she didnt try out this year and she says its cuz she's under a 7 year contract from America's Next Top Model. apparently she's some sort of Reality TV SUPASTAAAAH! (c) Mary Katherine. either that or she's a fuckin liar. flip a coin.

but okay the teacher gets there and this dude is crazy as a fuck!! he was straight mean muggin and embarrasing the SHIT outta anybody who showed up after he did. his rules are no absences, no tardiness, no bathroom, no nothing but sit there and fucking listen!! All rules will be enforced!!! its hard to type out what he was like, but before the night was over he had embarrased the shit outta 3 people. i mean REALLY louded them out infront of the whole class.

i just used "embarrass the shit..." twice like nina. good luck catchin that one.

and the tall ass skinny ass model/singer chick was MURKIN some snacks the whole damn class! yo she had like 2 snickers, a big bag of m&m's, and one of them bigass blueberry muffins they sell in the previously mentioned Lobby Starbucks. i imagine her *PURGE* came soon afterward lol.

anyway that class was chock fulla comedy. i got to sit in the back and get my witty commentary on, which is ALWAYS good times.

musiq soulchild

is that dude.

there, i said it. i think i been sleepin on buddy for YEARS now, while quietly liking a GRIP of his songs. i been bumpin "who knows" for like a solid 2 weeks now. what album is that off of? i should cop it. i got the first CD and tho i don't really play it much i can say there are at least 5 songs on there i like a LOT.

so yeah, props to that cockeyed dude from philly. (redundant?)

still don't care for india dot arie though.

adidas.com is having a sale

WHY LORD WHY WON'T YOU LET ME SAVE MONEY?!?!?!

many levels of life
i've had to take the good
with the bad
many times
i've been in situations
that made ME wanna give up!

define your destiny
and be destined to get to your
destination
