Xmas eve eve...

XMAS HUSTLE:
What yall doing today? Runnin to the mall? Hiding schnit from kids? Wrapping gifts? Grocery shopping for Xmas dinner?

I am not bashing today... just curious as to how you spending your day? I came to NC... Moms is at the mall. My brother is at the shooting range and I just came back from gold course. FYI leave playing golf on wet greens to the professionals. I went out with 20 golf balls, came back with 2 (and one of those I found)!!

AI:
This AI trade has me bothered! I spoke with Tawanna's girl and she was like 'hell naw the fam aint moving to Denver' ... Thats not what bothered me.. what bothered me is what the hell is that lil 5'9 98 lbs nikka gonna do in the Mile High? I know he and Melo can work well but, will Melo understand AI's presence. I mean thus far he has been the man... he did well playing with KMart, but AI is a BETTER player by far! While the experts are worried bout AI adjusting, I am worroed bout Melo.

Short story... AI and I were dating the same chick when he was at Gtown. Now mind you he had more than one so it wasnt a big deal but when we met it was comical cause HER face cracked while we were 'kool' with it. Been kool since...

Text Messaging:
What the hell? Why you having a conversation via TEXT when you could have just called me? Funny type loser tendencies!! That is what I call it...

First Love:
I got an email from the 100 BMA and attached was a press release from a non-profit organization. And you know how they are always putting a for more info contact name and number? Well.. low and behold it was my very FIRST LOVE, the INITIAL HEARTBREAKER, the ONE WHO CORRUPTED , the ONE who STARTED the 'playa' in me. What the Fawk? was my first thought... that cant be her. NO!! Gawd no.

Sidenote: We dated only 9 months. Met on Xmas at the Club dated broke up on my birthday (fawk you naysayers who smirking at me knowing dates). However, we still continued LOVING one another for two years. Lost touch and began again for a few months. In bed we were MAGIC and KAREEM, but out of the bed we were MIKE TYSON and MITCH GREEN. Needless to say - we didnt get along worth shit outside the bedroom...

We lost touch and now I see her name and a number, email, and address to where she is. What do I do? My palms began to sweat and I called my best friend. He was not home and he didnt answer the celly. I called my brother, but his vm came up. I called my other boy - no answer. I called my anti-FIRST LOVE ( a friend that did not like her) - but no answer. So I sat there... waited 10-15 minutes...

SO, like most dumb@ss moves I have made lately I called her. VOICEMAIL! Yeah.. that voice is the same. It was her... yes. It was. My heart jumped to my throat - GULP! And out of habit you hear the beep you start to speak. *DUH* Didnt wanna leave a message but I said, "Hey ... just thought....." and I couldnt stop cause she would hear it and be like who is this clown, but she prolly would pick up on my voice. (Unique sounding voice... she said it always did something to her.... go figure). I finished the message, left my number, and hung up.

I am kicking myself cause I left that message... (partly cause that @ss aint called me back yet - which may be a GREAT thing) Then.. all the people I called... started calling me back! TOO FAWKING LATE!! They all had the same questions and comments; WHY, What did I want, What if she calls back, Will I go see her (FAWK YEAH), Why do I wanna see her, etc. Anyway I am over it now after 3 days... she aint called so 'fawk it'! Well the best friend called me today and said "Did she call?" I said "NO" -- he said why you salty? I said I aint but dayum no one wants to be rejected. Then like a best friend should (trying to save my face) he said... "you know she may be on vacation and aint got the message yet" Problem with that is... he gave me HOPE that she would call.

I told him and I am telling yall.. I am going out like an old b!tch thinkin bout this broad, but FIRST LOVES got a space that is irreplacable. That is unclosable, unforgettable! So with that.... fawk it! Iont care... but if she calls -- I will let ya know!

RANDOMNESS:
1) I made it pass the limit!!

2) Still the reigning frat's MAN OF THE YEAR... take that !

3) Workin with the OLDER POPULATION can be rewarding!

4) Why is Mr. Holland's Opus one of my favorite movies!

Steps out of shell...

Well I'll be gawddayum... With all this google sign in crap I cant read folks pages no more. I hate it.. uuuggghhhhh!!

Aight... let me see where do I begin? *Ignant fool in the back shouts: "Try from the beginning !!!"*

Sounds like a plan...

Well... I realized that I am not as OPEN as I once thought I could be. And it hit me right about the time I read Ms. Choc's thread about lying to the public and moving on etc. etc. Not that I have lied or told intentionally things that were not true. I simply just aint OPEN.

From the onset... I told ya I was a private nikka with issues and complexity beyond no end. Its a defense mechanism. They tell me Virgos are guarded and analytical. We like to know the WHYs and WHAT FORs. And if we dont get the answer... you are "BLOCKED FROM THIS WEBSITE" no pun intended.

Yall really wanna know about the "Kant be friends"? Well I don't have any bad words to say about anyone honestly... you just have to know that sometimes things don't work out - accepting an ending can be therapeutic. But I will say this.. she told me to kiss her @ss rather than her forehead. It actually made me laugh thinking bout the nicest (roundness, phatness, and juicyness) of 'that' @ss she spoke of!!! And really there are no hard feelings... I wish her the very best.

NOW.. on to other things -- I mentioned sometime ago about my ONE failure in life. I have been working on that ... I dont like it. And I want it fixed. * Sorry to bait you but I will tell you more as the story unfolds -- maybe!?!*

Randomness:

1) Can I say this... and I hope no one gets OFFENDED, but umm errr uhh ...




FAWK XMAS
I mean no disrespect to folks who like this holiday you greedy summab!tches, but lets be real. How long you gonna let a fat white man take credit for your VISA bill being high @ss hell? How long you gonna be a punk @ss parent and let your kids behavior be affected by a white dude in a fat suit? Seriously... think about how many times this month you said "if you not good Santa no gonna get you no toys" -- Umm more that ZERO is TOOO MANY!!!!
Half yous aint got not dayum CHIMNEY no way.. how that lie still lives I will never know! I lived in the projects in Lincon Heights and knew dayum well if "Man-Man" and 'em robbed and killed the mailman, just think what they would do to some white dude (not in a MPD uniform) with a bag of toys round midnight!?!?
2) I love the new gig, but some folks are complacent then a mofo. I know you get a hella check each week and its hard to fire ya @ss but dont complain when they give the supervisor job to an OUTSIDE person. *Ding Ding Ding* That's a hint and a half that your @ss aint producing like a supervisor. Coming in all late and taking 10 smoke breaks for 10-30 minutes each.
3) I wasn't gonna to this one but... good luck and remember to save 10% more than you presently save cause when you have the add'l responsibility it will make the transition of expenses that much easier to deal with.
4) Happy Holidays to each and everyone of yous... I wish your family good time and cheer. And if you can.. remember the homeless, less fortunate, and the ones who will get the PINK notice on the door (or RED envelope - late notice) in January cause they RENT aint paid (but they got a shinit load of toys under the tree)!!!!!

Just a few thoughts...

I have been swamped, at work, at home, and in life.

Work is kicking into gear now that they trust me with something real and dangerous! I have begin the unduanting task to get seasoned employees to want to stop working in silos and 'cross-train' them in other areas... talk about a MOUNTAIN. Folks with two years til retirement and rushing each day to it... hmph! I also have a project that will focus on ensuring the agency has proper allocations for '08 budget year. I am on the strategic plan team... AAArrgggghhhhh (nuff said???)

Home...well home has two parts, but Imma focus on the public side. I have been working on the condo deal and hammering out the minor stuff. I had my partners begin looking at floor plans and decor... (SIDEBAR) Dont EVER let women and men try to design ANYTHING together. They so have SO many different thoughts or perceptions as to what this thing should look like. I am thinking dorm-like, others are thinking bungalow style, and one other is thinking studio. And what blows most... is the 'studio' person wants to draw a design opinion out of a freakin hat. Ok.. time out... reality check.. We decided on a hybrid of dorm and bungelow. 'Studio' got to choose the restaurant we ate at. I love them though... they keep me 'grounded and sane'!! I am not happy with the slowness ... I think that this can move faster than the contractors say it can. SO da fawk what its kold out there.... you are being paid handsomely to work in the cold!

Also may mortgage company is doing well. I love my customers and love the satisfaction of helping people purchase their first home or refinancing to consolidate bills (or take a vacation). *Shameless plug* People if you are sending someone else's 'kid to college (i.e. paying them to rent a place), please consider buying a home. All I am saying is 'consider' it. Talk to a mortgage broker or First Time Homebuyer agency, someone... anyone who can give you insight on the affordability of a home. Its like an 'orgasm' when I get an 'approval notice' back from a lender. I dont care where you live (DC, Atl, Raleigh, Morgantown, Norwoord, wherever), you TOO can own a home.

Life is funny... one minute you are up and ready, and then you can easily be down for the count. But its how you react to the fall that matters. Do you lay and let it settle in or do you bounce up and come back for more. I have had numerous accomplishment... the highest highs you could ever have. And then again.. I have had the lowest lows (not suicidal lows, but 'dats fawked up low'). But I have one major 'failure' in my life that I just cant get over. I just cant... I have tried trust me - my best friend has had this convo with me MILLIONS of times now. Hell he brought it up in Houston at the All Star game and has plans to bring it up again in Vegas at the All Star game. *By the way... if you dont have ya room reserved yet - woooowwweeee get reaey to pay upwards of $500+ for a room on the strip* Luckily, knowing the schedule ahead of time...we locked in rooms at less than a fourth of that price. Paid for the room upfront and all... but I digress. Correct ya flaws and GROW! Continue to grow people....

Thanks...

Aight...



So.. what is new in the ENIGMA world. Not a dayum thing. I hate ripping and running to NC from time to time, but this past weekend I headed to Atlantic City only to be turned around and head to Charleston SC for a meeting with some investors. Yall know I be doing my real estate thing... *Baby Donald Trump... on a real low low low low level!* Anyway.. hopped a flight from AC to SC. Met over a nice meal featuring fresh crab and salmon. Talk a lot of talk and shot a lot of shnit... Grab a rental car and headed to NC thinkin that these fools were not talking good game. Thinkin - wasted money... but fun trip!



Got to the NC and spoke with my partner - he was talking jibberish ( short hand for long winded as story bout nothing). About an hour into the speak... I hear "they wanna do the deal". (Deal: Purchase 4 beachfront properties, demolish, construct a 12 unit condo joint) cha-fawking-ching! So... I dont know if yall watch NCAA Basketball, so to celebrate we (partner and attorney)headed over to the Duke/Gtown game. Who am I sitting next to? Guess...(thought a pic of Warren Buffet would appear here, but I am still learning). But yeah.. the richest mofo on the face of US soil!!! We rapping bout the game and I hit him with some BS about how I was interested in his story and how is investing style was one that most fit my personality. We chit chatted and talked throughout the game. Why did I feel BRIGHTER just by talkin to this cat. ** Step back for a moment... this man has more disposable cash than I will ever EARN in my life time, my children's lifetime, and my grand children's lifetime. ** I digresss. After the game, he slid me his business card and said to email him and he would send me some things to read. ** Yeah... Imma get me a NEW mentor!! (sorta)** Oh..player move of the YEAR: Me to Warren, "I am headed to the concession area, you want me to get you something?"


So I fly back to AC to get my car... and head home. Long @ weekend... long a$$ weekend.

What I am thankful for...

LIFE in general... often times folks get caught up in BULLSHNIT! PS3, Dancing Elmos, 'chasin the $$$', etc but sometimes, you have to stand down and WATCH THE TREES GROW!!

God gives us 'breath' every morning and we never (yeah whatever you bible thumpers 'i know you do it all the time' SURE!....) say THANKS. People pray for stuff all the time... but as Joyce Meyers http://www.joycemeyer.com states: "sometime you need to just say "Thank you". Just say THANKS some time.... I have had a good year thus far and I cant think of where any of this would lead me if I aint ask "Lord....where you taking me?" I aint gonna make this religiousy or nothing,but for real... this year... just say THANKS!

Randomness:
1) What you do with yourself that leaves an impression on others is what you will be JUDGED by.

Think on it...

Ross-Rachel Dating….

I can’t do it. I thought I could, but I can’t. AM I selfish… am I real…. Or I just ‘black’. I am being honest here. You know how black folks are… if you go out once or twice or you even *smash* even though you have not committed to one another, you still kinda don’t want no one else dating or ‘hitting’. Black folks…we Monica-Chandler date. It’s like boom... me and you – no titles, but …we dating/fawking and no dating other people. The Ross-Rachel thing is not for me – but I will continue to try for it may be the best for the both of us.

Whats Ross-Rachel dating? That is where you both date other people but still have ties to one another that wont allow you to commit to another person for you are wanting to be with the other but dating folks til you two make up your mind that you want to be together. ----- > Yes I am a black man from the 70’s who watches Friends. I watched Will & Grace too! Same something smart… *mean mugging*


What is it about that Kool Breeze?

It wakes me up in the middle of the night wanting to let it in…
It wakes me up in the morning texting like no end…
It makes me madd in one instance and joyful the next…
And I aint ever gonna tell you bout the madd longlasting sex.
Mean mugging and ignoring me only turned me on…
Holding that breeze all morning long.
Fuak what you heard that breeze came along too fast…
But its nothing like sleeping spooning behind that ***!!!
Don’t get me wrong the body is only 2% of the fascination…
The 98% is all mental spiritual and emotional migration.

I hold the kool breeze in my mind for hours. Thinking, longing to send her candy, card, and flowers. But other cornballs have done the same. I am not like the others… I am more than a name.

Getting "DC Mean"…

Gawd…. I am getting mean again. I was a mean street thug nikka from North East DC (Lincoln Heights/ 58th Street area), then, I grew up. I moved to NC and got educated and more so countrified. I learned and respected the joy of life. I learned that life is not a rush… and sometimes you have to stop and BREATHE. You see… at 5pm, I don’t run for the train. I don’t hurry along and rush down the elevator/escalator. I stroll (as one lady put it). I move along with the crowd, but I am chill with myne. I just got my countryness on and enjoying my life… But the more and more I ride the train and see stupid shhit, the more I get madd. I get frustrated with folks and their lack of motivation. There CONTENTMENT with mediocrity. Da hell…

Personality traits… are these things that you CHOOSE to accept or are they something that you develop? Who da hell chooses to be whack? Mediocre? Sub-par?

Imma have a drink tonight…. I am going to M&S downtown on 13th Street. Join me if you like…

What a day... what a day.

Let me tell youbout my fiasco and how GOD dont like ugly.

I left out to work yesterday and left my BADGE in my car. If you work for the govt, you know that is 'death' dayum near trying to get in the building without it. Plus my metro-pass was in there too...

I got to work and placed my car keys n my desk. Aight.. at 5:30pm, I am ready to roll - so I bounced. I am on the train reading "QBQ" (a very good book and quick read) when I noticed this MEDUSA looking chick reading a book as well. It was titled, "Cooking for One". I burst out laffing and embarrassing like. The mere thought was overwhelmingly funny. Had she been FINE or remotely kute, the thought of "hmmm..single!" would have been on my mind, but instead.. "gosh you are ugly and of course you have NO ONE else to cook for" was the evil thought that I had. Funny thing though.. a guy across from me was lookin at me and I 'looked' toward her book.. and HE too bust out laffing. **So see... I aint the only heathen in the world ** So lookin at him laffin and me still bursting.... tears are forming and I cant take it no more... so I laugh again. It was too funny...

I get to Shaw Metro and i get off the train and guess what... my faking KEYS are in my desk at work. (God working #1). I call my mom's (say something about me 'calling mommy' and I will slap ya) and tell her I need a ride back to work but remember... I dont have my badge. So I am madd and I look at my car like 'why are your doors locked?' and i say "DAYUM!" -- and I noticed my doors were in fact unlocked (God working #2). So I reach in and get my badge (tah-dah and $10 I had stashed in the glove box). Calls mom back and tell her nevermind I can get back on the train and go back on my own to not inconvenience her. I get on the train and guess what..another ugly chick reading some book about romance (God working #3) I keep my thoughts klean and I move seats! I get to work... and since i work in a sexure building in a secure office with security all around, I begin to worry... dayummit is this badge 24.7 access. (God working #4), my co-worker is coming out as I am going in.. so I get in to the office and get my keys.

My Office Director is there working late and I let her know I was coming through not to startle her. She said she was about to leave and that she would walk out with me. (God working #5) At this point she asked me (since I am the new guy), am I getting what she is trying to say ** I am working with some co-workers on a project and she (OD) and I are the only two understanding what she wants done ** I told her yes and she immediately said ... "You lead the project then please". I said, respectfully "NO... I will work within the group but it seemed undercutting to take the lead from my supervisor and place ME (new guy) on the lead. " She said i respect that... and its commendable, 'but you are the lead.'

I get back on the subway to head home, tired and releived... and again (God working #6) there was an ugly guy with a bangin girl (Seal and Heidi Klum/Flavor Flav and Beautuful types)... I held my breath and thought - Stop Judging people by their outerlyings.

I get home... and all is well, but I know one dayum thing for sure -- UGLY PEOPLE need love too (... so who's gonna love me?)

Randomness:
1) There is someone for everyone
2) God dont like ugly...
3) I want her to 'ride me til I fall asleep'
4) Explain to me ... a 'dining experience'!!
5) If I had a dollar for every yard Clinton Portis rushed for.... I'd be broke.
6) Fantast Football is not going well for me this year.
7) NCCU Homecoming, AK Chapter celebrates its 75th Kappaversary, and God is good.

Question....

I have been reading plenty of responses and trying to reciprocate the love, but what is the best way to maintain and read others' blogs. I mean folks are writing great things and very interesting topics that I would appreciate continuing to read.

Also... who is/are the BLOGologist/s? I mean the one who can show me the ins and outs and tricks of blogging? I come humble and ready to learn.

Randomness:
None today... I got plans!

My Stalker story…

Well I came in yesterday and I had a pack of donuts on my desk. I was like “who da fauk”. She came sashe’ing round the corner with this big @ss ‘I did it’ smile on her face. I gave her back the donuts and claimed health issues. I gave my office buddy a look as if ‘get this b!tch’. She stepped in for me and ran interference.

So… the day went on and I was perplexed. I have had internet stalkers, real life stalkers, and imaginary stalkers, but never a work-place stalker. I took it upon my self to holler at this broad about this situation. I went to her office and I asked could I holler at her for a minute. She got this fawkin kool-aid grin as if I was bout to give her the bo-zack. NOT! I explained that in 1991 I dated this fine mofo name “T”. She was the hottest chick in the building and my monkey dunk @ss snagged her one day at the copy center. We (T and I) dated about nine months actually… but it seemed like years basaed on the ‘drama’ that followed the break up.

When we were together…most people knew it. But when we broke up… EVERYONE knew it. I was getting hit on my every female who hated her and every female who liked her but wanted to get at me (cause for some reason if one want you… they all want you, but when you single NO one wants you - da hell is that about. But that’s another story). Anyway... the break up was bad cause she wanted to be with me and I wanted it over, then when I came around to wanted her back, she aint want me. That went on for months. Fast foward to today (yesterday) I told her that that experience jaded me from dating or being interested in workplace romances. While I was flattered by her gesture, I think that she should not do ‘things’ that could be misinterpreted by me or others.

SIDENOTE: (Stole the sidenote thing from Dynasty)… When you tell someone you are married or have an s/o – often times they don’t get the picture. You have to actually say NO I AM NOT INTERESTED and even then…. Well you know what the issues are here! I don’t think she was gonna give a dang, in my *Flava Flav voice* she was on ya boy Flav!

Back to the story… she said she respected that and played it like she was hitting on me. *I fueled the fire* I said... ‘why not?’ winked and laffed it off. She stated that she didn’t mean to give me the wrong impression and that she didn’t want to make me feel ‘pressured’ (I liked to died laffing). Without a doubt… to ease her pain or my perceive pain she was going thru – I told her that if we aint work together, I was 10 yr younger, lived in Manassas, and like salad – her and I could be a couple that the world would envy. She smiled and felt better I hope. I told her we have to do lunch one day so she can tell me about her job and her role in the organization.

NO I am not leading her on… I kept it professional and made her feel ‘important’ workwise. Its all about managing people. I happen to be a ‘great’ manager of people and personalities. Trust me on this one… however, I do find that my personality ‘draws’ a great deal of attention and unwanted (and surprisingly to me) attraction from women. My ex said its cause I am charming and naïve at times to my ‘aura’. But what the hell she know…

End of the day...

Its hump day ... I am going for drinks tonight after work with some colleagues. I been doing this Happy Hour thing a while now and I am starting to think that this is the norm. Maybe I need kids or a 'tracker' to bring me home. I dont anything spectacular to say today, but I am thinkin bout something to put on here - but I dont wanna give too much too soon too fast. Ladies call it celibacy... men call it holding out.

Why do women feel the need to 'hold out' or claim celibacy? Is this some BS that they have convinced themselves of? Cause I, me, myself personally dont beleive in it. I think and KNOW that women are not celibate/celibant (sp)... they just holding out til they find "that" guy they deem worthy of the loving. Fellas I know yall know what I am talkin bout... and ladies you know I am telling the truth. Like that female, BOOTZ from Flavor of Love. She was celibate but now she home... she banging a friend of mine. Anywho...

Kool Breeze...
I got a story... the breeeze came my way today. It was not as kool as it normally was... matter fact it was heated. But like New Edition said, "Kan You Stand the Rain?" I can... and I will. This Kool Breeze is the best breeze I have felt in a long time... But Imma let yall speculate and let the perception RUN-A-MUCK.

Aint no way Imma talk about this breeze everyday, but when its good.... man oh man...

1) Ambitious people are daydreamers.
2) I dont drink THAT much.

Another day....

I am boring…. I read other people’s blogs and I have no life. I read a guy from Ireland’s board and he is going through a mid-life career change and he was excited about it. Then I read a young lady from California’s board and she was breaking up with her girlfriend due to lovers’ spat and she was conflicted with her lesbianic issues. And sit here worried about my dayum Redskins losing, why Madden ’07 wont let me do what I did on Madden ’06, and what I am going to wear to work in the morning. Guess I need to be a lil less selfish.

So... let me tell you about that kool breeze. Can you imagine discussing politics with Obama, humanity with Mother Theresa, or the black man’s plight with Malcolm X. Or better yet... imagine discussing poetry with Maya of Nikki…. Imagine picking up a book and enjoying reading. That’s that kool breeze.

My life is a whirlwind. I keep ya guessing and reveal a lil .. it’s a puzzle. Its like an … ENIGMA?

Word of the day:
Enigma (E‧nig‧ma)
1..a puzzling or inexplicable occurrence or situation: His disappearance is an enigma that has given rise to much speculation. 2. a person of puzzling or contradictory character: To me he has always been an enigma, one minute completely insensitive, the next moved to tears. 3. a saying, question, picture, etc., containing a hidden meaning; riddle. 4. (initial capital letter ) a German-built enciphering machine developed for commercial use in the early 1920s and later adapted and appropriated by German and other Axis powers for military use through World War II.

No.. not too many people get close enough to see it, but I do live just like you, act like you, care like you, and even love like you do. My advice to you is to stop seeking… and live it. Oh… what a feeling (kudos to Toyota). But the problem with most folks is that you spend so much timing trying to figure it out, you never see the end product and the beauty that it brings. I am not a care or the Pythagoras theorem… I am human. I am simple… I am ME.

Did I tell you bout that kool breeze…

Randomness:
1) Da hell was my wake up Text?
2) Why she come by my desk everyday ….does she want me? Am I arrogant?
3) If hazelnut coffee wasn’t so good… why they always OUT of it.
4) The Metro in DC is da debil.
5) Lunch will be interesting.

Its almost the weekend...

LIFE:
It’s a new day... a new beginning. What is life really about? Is it about finishing first? Last? Somewhere in the middle? Hell what’s the prize? Is it right or moral to feel so competitive. What really are we seeking in life?

Are you happy?
Are you sad?
Are you doing what you can to make your life better?
What about someone else’s?
Is timing everything? Or just some shnit they say to make you feel better bout something that aint go your way?

You know what I hate most… when people say “ ____________ is good. It builds character.” Put any word you want, adversity, rejection, etc in the blank. Where they read that shnit at? And who wrote that mess? I bet it was not Harvard or Rhode Scholar.

A poem….
The cool breeze came into my life and set me back.
Had me thinking bout this and that.
Why did it make me feel this way.
Is it the smell or the words it say
I am no Common, TuPac or Biggie
Why is my name nor pic in your siggie?
I think of you and want to touch
Why are you on my mind so much.
But just like the breeze you are gone…
Wondering what the fawks going on.

*I aint no artist….I am just putting down words.*

Romeo Chips: I discovered these things lsat night on the train home. Dayum they good!!!

Explain to me talking on the phone all nite. What da hell you saying that last that long? I miss, I want you, wish you were here? Why not get the fawk out of the house and go over there?

Happy Hour was good….drinks were flowing. White folks are crazy but they keep on po’ing! Its hard not to drink when they tossin round those (credit) cards.


PERSONAL MOMENT:
I moved back to DC on October 2, 2006 to take a job here. I was in North Carolina for a number of years and now its time to be home. I enjoyed my time and prolly will miss it. I miss the Frat and my Executive Board position. Being up here it’s hard to maintain, but they call me everyday wanting to hear my opinion on an item or matter. When are our undergrad gonna learn that the WOOD aint always good. It serves a purpose, but that purpose is long lost. I never learned nothing with my @ss in the red. Education and bonding occurs in the head. I own businesses and property throughout the state …. DC is different and I gotta learn her again. Gotta think on if I am gonna evict my tenants… I like my brownstone. Its three-stories high with a beautiful view of the city and the street! I am living at my mom’s house in my room I grew up in and it feels real good – for now!! I am not in a rush. I got 23 more months of rotations, so I cant settle to fast. But dayum aint nothing like mom’s home cooking!!

Wednesday 10/18/06

I am in a mood today… a mood of “WTF”. I am in total control of self at all times. That is what makes me the ENIGMA that I am. I don’t allow others actions to sway me one way or the other, but last night was different.

I recalled something… that has broken my mood a bit. Its called: The Serenity Prayer

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference

All day today…. I’m gonna come back throughout the day leaving a TIME and a THOUGHT. Hopefully, my day will get better. I hope yours does too!!

The metro-rail in DC is the best in the world. I live like 7minutes from it... and I got a 16minute ride. Its wonderful. Barriers are only what you make them...if you want it to be in the way - it will. I learned during my time online ... "Mind over matter. If you dont mind, that shnit dont matter" Get it done! New people... new things... I think I am going to buy me something today. Last time I was like this... I bought a 54in TV and 2 rounds of drinks at Chili's. Thank gawd there is no Best Buy nor Chili's around. But there is a SHARPER IMAGE around here. Call me back.... I am still at work.

My initial introduction/post...

Am I really here… what will I really say? Are my thoughts interesting enough to have you come back again? I am a private person who doesn’t share much, so this may be an ‘effort from hell’, but I promised that I would ‘try’. I aint all that into grammar... (I was a math major)!! SO if they mispelled or not in sync, oooops! **I am educated though..trust **

I go by several names… not cause I am hiding anything but just cause if I want you to figure me or it out, I will let ya know.

I wanna give shout out to other BLOGGERS that I met this weekend. I had a ball with you guys. Drinks, food, “Questions”, ‘I never ever,’ and “Truth or Dare”. WOW!!!

Aight… it’s Monday and I am at work. I am tired and mad my Redskins lost (again). Until Gibbs start to believe in black quarterbacks, I guess we will suffer for a while. I told the bloggers that I don’t read much and I skim A LOT, but I would put in the effort. To check out their sites and see what they ‘talkin bout’!!! I wonder if they will do the same?? I suppose there is one way to find out….
