Long time...long time.

I have nothing new to add... I been in a pfunk lately. Not to inspired not to enthused.

I been cleaning out a lot of closets and damage from this past year. And its a bit overwhelming. People think 'oh you back with the wife' and BAMMMMM... back to normal. No, its not that simple. You actually have to re-learn and date again. Seems weird but still necessary.

Hmmm...well I am out. Talk later.

Recap of All Star weekend...

I was not with PacMan Jones and 'em ... so I didnt need any bail money.

Well.. MJ is still the mofo man.. he is the ONLY dude that make me stop and stare. Yet unlike last year... I spoke and chatted with him this time. However, a recently seperated RICH MOFO is not in one location too long. But I got my chat in and feel like a kid in the candy store.

FYI for future events... when the NFL players show up... LEAVE! Why were they shooting in... yes IN the casino. Nikkas...

I went out to Vegas with $500 to lose... and came back with $5,600 in hand! I love those slot machines and Black Jack!!!

I had the nerve to stay in theHotel (at the Mandalay Bay) which was the main hotel. Players coaches, media, and cheerleaders were in there. Did I mention the HOOOCHIES were there too! The PGDA was there too.... ooops.. I mean the Professional Gold Diggers Association was camped out in the lobby and casinos most nights.

Never the less... I had a dayum ball.

Vegas I am sure is accustomed to handling hundreds of thousands of people,but NEGROES -- they were not ready for .... I was passing out apologies cards to white folks for the way some of my ppl were acting.

Gawd awful.... I cannot beleive we STILL act like we dont belong some times. Now I was told that I shouldnt be ashamed, but maybe I am boughie or whatever, but I be dayummed if 4 niggers on an elevator gonna represent me to the 5 whites on that same elevator. Did I tell yall bout the fight at the airport in Philly?? Yeah.. cause folks got bumped off stand by by folks... AWFUL... you can give us a pass out the hood but the hood never takes LEAVE of us.

Jam Session was fun... (if you were a kid or so).
Parties were off the chain!! Celebs and groupies ( mostly guys) were all through the city. Ladies I apologize for ever calling yall groupies cause MEN are the biggest fawkin groupies - I am SURELY convinced!!!
The game while high scoring and flashy with dunks... it was pretty boring. I did however run into MJB and Christina Aguillera... both women are stunning!
I did pull a corn ball move and go to the George Wallace comedy show - and that sumbatch is funny as hell!!

All in all I had a good @ss time!!

No rrandomness... I am too tired still!!!

Preparing for ALL STAR weekend...

Aight... most yall dont know I been going to this thing for the past four years... this year though -- its in VEGAS!! I got my betting money and my wardrobe...tickets for the flight, game, and activities. I got it all set up and ret to go!


Why I still feel like I am missing something?

Tag... I'm it!!

I've been tagged by Choc !!


Tag: Share 5 things the blogger fam doesn't know about me.

1) I dont like strawberries...

2) I am a NICE guy.. underneath all the tough exterior, I am a warm and kind guy.

3) My father died when I was six years and I was hurt for over seven years. I blamed God and didnt fawk with Him at all. At the age of 13, I had some incident happen and I talked to Him and we came to a truce. I agreed that He did it for a reason... and He agreed to listen to me again! So we been on good terms ever since!

4) My mother still cooks breakfast and dinner for my brother and I (when we are home).

5) Since some of yall didnt know... I am married. My wife and I had some issues and were apart. I thought it was a 'good' move... some of the time apart was WELL spent, other times was 'crap'. I made some moves and did some things... she did, hmm... whatever she did. But now like one of my song goes, "We are back in stride again!" Thanks!

February 5, 2007

Super Bowl or Super Bowel?
That was the worst played game in the histroy of SuperBowls. I honestly turn and watch C-Span2 for a good minute. It was about Elliot Lewis and his book about being multi-racial and his hiding of his whiteness and his blackness depending on his company. Not necessarily hiding, but FADING into the group by convenience. Anyway... I digress.

Congrats to Tony Dungy on his coaching his team to the win. Peyton won the MVP (scratching my head as to why though)...While Rhodes and Addai did all the work. These two men out hustled and outrushed the dynamic one-two punch of the Bears. My condolescenses (sp) to Lovie Smith. They may try to fire you saying you cant win the Big One, but congrats to you as well. Both coaches did a helluva job try to get their team in position to win... unfortunately- you only can have one winner.

However as black people... we will recognize TWO. Tony Dungy and Lovie Smith.

Why did ESPN in the banner have Tony Dung is the first African American coach to win Super Bowl, but in the scroller at the bottom of the screen it said Tony Dungy is the black coach to win Super Bowl. Consistancy here... just a lil people!!




Randomness:
1) The Mrs. and I hosted our first Super Bowl party in over four years... we had TOO many negroes in that house. I already scheduled Molly Maid and them to come through today to clean up. While it was great hosting and I enjoyed ya... next year, we going to someone else's house. *smile*

2) A Brother's love... nothing above it. I feel like I am crippling him, yet at times, I see his obstacles. I see him working on it and I see him struggling ot make it work. So ... I help. Is that bad? Trust I have let him fall, scrape, and get 'blasted' by trouble/life issues... but by golly if he aint trying, so I continue to help. I do blame my mother for enabling (him to rely on her) and disabling him by not allowing him to get out there earlier. But...oh well.

3) Papa Johns pizza.... yeah thats for lunch!

4) Its like Beyonce said... "I am not irreplacable".

I will not...

I will not respond to such commentary.
I will not un-man-mify myself to respond and get into a petty ordeal.
I will not answer questions about the statements.
I will not rebut truths, untruths, etc.
I will not stop being a friendly person who speaks at will.
I will not stop learning and growing and being who I am.



I stepped away on or about December 9, 2006. At that point the issue was over. If ya my folks for real for real... you will step away too!


Randomness:
1) Wow... I enjoy the views to my lil bitty blog.

2) Commentary is cute when you are klean and unscaved, but when you not... you are just antagonistic.

3) Can you imagine Norv Turner coaching the 'Boys?

4) Reinvest in self... its the only guaranteed return!

5) Anyone wanna buy my lil brother? *Arrrrghhh*


*ENTER*

January 24, 2007....

My President: Did ya watch that speech? This man is aight with me... even in the face of 'I fawked up and dont know what to do", he stand tall and delivers his 'best' speech to date. I dont care what your politcal affiliation is or how you feel about the President of these United States, dude handles his business. I agree and disagree with his solutions and plans, but he got a plan -- and that is a good start. He wants to get out of this Iraqi thing and not upset the Isreal/Iran all at the same time. The bamma is kool as a kukumber under the pressure. Luv him or hate him... he still OUR President!

Obama/Hillary: Its on. They are out there and on it hard. I have read this Debra Dickerson chick'blog/reports about Obama and his level of blackness. I am so hyped and ready for the rumble. Problem is.... Pelosi looked lost and spacey last night sitting there behind my boy George! John Edwards and Vlasic got a fight on their hands. And if Al gonna get in, he need to get his team in gear... did I say that I hope that Al doesnt get in it? Hmmm.... Anyway, its gonna be hot!

Ran into my ex who broke my heart: First.... Happy Birthday. I ran into her at a 100 BlackMen event. Man she looked good... I am glad I was too or it would have been disasterous. Anyway, she has a child - congrats Miss. She is shacking... and she looked good (Did I say that before?) I's married and working out some things (not necessarily bad things, but things). We spoke at length about what happened and how we both have evolved. It was a good 'healing' for the both of us. Quiet as Kept... she said I broke her heart too. We joked and laffed over drinks and acknowledged that we both had places in our heart for one another. I dont talk about my 'marriage matters' to any one but the Mrs.... and the EX respected that and offered her ear as a symbol of our once friendship. WOW...

Yes, I am spoiled: Man... every office I go to there is a caudry of women who take to me. I dont mix romance and work, but they take to me as a son, brother, or .... whatever! There are 29 people in this office and 26 are women. *dance dance* Anyway... they brought me breakfast today and are taking me to lunch. They are all nice looking women too, some older, some younger, but still WORTHY range!! *LOL* but the rule is .. "dont get your money and honey in the same spot".


Randomness:
1) Live your life... stop worrying bout me. Trust me, you got your own issues and problem than to be looking back at me and what I's doing. I got my demons and issues... and I KNOW YOU GOT YOURS. So, walk away peacefully and enjoy yours -- cause you know I am gonna handle and enjoy mine!

2) TheWizards lost.... guess we can beat the East, but the West gots the Best! Poor AI, I wish you would have gone to a East team... Yall still need a Center to compliment you and Melo. Wonder what Motumbo is doing?? Maybe you can trade for him?

3) Fawk the Tuna... whack @ss sell out. You cn handle T.O., sit his @ss in a corner and play him on Sundays. PERIOD!

4) My brother is ... I love him. Thats all Imma say.

First day back...

Well first let me say... GOD's helper was trying to hold me back. It snowed like a dayum beast Sunday afternoon. I was in the snow stuck on I-95 for 3 hours between DC and Richmond. But then the MAN himself said... "Boy, you need clearer roads to get back... " And from Richmond on HE opened the road up and just hit me with cold and freezing rain. So what was normally a four hour trip was turned into a seven hour journey... but by HIS hand ---> I made it!

God its good to be in my OWN bed again!!!

Aight....

Started the new assignment here in North Carolina... the office is great thus far. People are genuine and ...hmmm un-DC like! I am enjoying it... I have three task assignments - unlike the last stop I had where I sat for months until I had a meaningful project. I hate geetting momney in my bank account and all I did was show up. I like to earn my money. I dont know bout you, but if I am worth that money doing nothing -- just how much am I am worth DOING something!

Home... well the Mrs. is doing her thing. She is lookin like she miss me ... and better yet - the cooperative efforts e both are putting forth is working hella-well. If you ever think anything is wrong or needs to be addressed in ya relationships... remember this word....

Nuff said.....

Yall siced bout these two black coaches in the SuperBowl? Yeah... lets celebrate the accomplishment. Cause I am too... now tha tPeyton haad me proud when they was like "Peyton you lead the Colts to the victory" and he replied "Couch Dungy had a gameplan that we stuck to..yada yada yada". Look at that deference and that humility to let the MEDIA know that the HNIC handled this victory comeback. And poor Lovie, they shot and banged his @ss about Rex. But look at him... all proud and shnit. *Sidebar* Who the FAWK named that boy LOVIE? Do yall see Mrs. Howell from Gilligan' Island everytime they say that guy's name!!! *LOL* WOW! Just wow....

Randomness:

1) LIFE -- Live it... you will love it.

2) My godson... he has some mental issues and a learning disability. But thats fine... you know why? He is alive and can cope with them and acieve in school regardless. Did I tell yall his @ss is 6'3 and 260lbs... I think he can play college ball if he can just control his anger issues. (That's just a by-product of his mother's substance abuse when he was INSIDE her and her continued use around his as a small child)...hell if he cant play ball, he be a bouncer at the Club or something!

3) West Wing: The Series ... the entire series is on sale at Target. Wanna get me a great gift .... there is ya hint.

4) What a waste of a parent your @ss is... *SMH* Had me fooled... BIG TIME.. big big.. HUGE!

5) Summer time.... condos will be ready!!!!

January 18, 2007

Good morning folks...

A few things I wanna get off my chest....

1) Obama: Negro please... While I am one of the most optomistic negroes you will ever meet. I have danced on the same floor with the Clintons, hollered at the Gores, spoke with Sharpton, and debated with Jackson. I worked with Orrin Hatch, tussled in politic jargon with Specter, and funned with a few nameless ones. The world, this United States of America ... just aint ready. Mark my word, write them down, print this out... A white woman possible, but not likely. A negro ( person of color)... man if Powell couldnt pull it off what makes you think... I like this guy, he is intelligent, articulate ( for my white readers), and savvy, but he is too ill experienced. Trouble with him is that he is the anti-Hillary for most. And the issue for them both is ... they will pull from the same POOL of voters making it easy for a third person to slip right through (Edwards, Vlasik, etc.) In his limited Senate career he has iniated.... he has passed.... he has..... *thinking* what the hell has he done? Oh... wrote two books with a third on hold. Two years in the Senate and three books. Oh... yeah he did post up one piece of legislation - and McCain sent him to the lil boy corner for about a week or so. Then Mc had the nerve to publish his 'STFU lil boy' letter in the Post. WOW! Sen. Obama... ride this one out. Accept the Vice President and see how the USofA loves ya... I am not saying settle, I am saying 'learn'.

2) Work: As a black man... do you often times feel marginalized? As if the standard are set low? I completed a task for my Associate Adminstrator and this kat act like I found the cure for cancer. He hit me with a 'on the spot' award ($2,500) and accomodations. I asked this dude what the deal was... he stated that many had tried to communicate this same message in many forms but with little to no results. However, my presentation garnered no responses and everyone 'got' the concept and idea. I was struck with 'Awww' then disgust that I was working with such incompetent mofos.

3) Life: Is GREAT.... cause God is good to me. I cannot complain, nope not at all. I ran into my ex (dont know if I told yall but I ran cross my first love contact info on a press release-- and I called her). She is living life and loving it. Her life is GOOOD and I am honestly glad for her. I hated her for years because she broke my heart (shed tear), but when we spoke it was as if we were the best of friends. Cause we were when we dated. She said that she still loved me and that we would always have a place in her heart (and i co-signed to my heart as well). She had lil boy recently... I am so proud and happy for her. Her life is totally turned around and she is that upstanding woman that I was gonna live my life with (or so I thought). Anyway... we agreed NOT to meet up but to remain close 'phone' friends. * Why ? We sexed alot.... and that was the bestestest part of the relationship -- Yeah its been 15 yrs, but some things you never forget * Heres the best part though... she told me my god-son is 18 now and about to graduate college this spring. Problem is... he dont have money for college, while he has a partial scholarship to FAMU, he needs more. His mother died when he was 8 and his father aint shnit. *SMILE* I was excited to tell her that ... when I was deemed his godfather, I started a trust fund for him. When we (her and & I) lost touch I just convereted the thing to a nameless fund for one of my own children (when I had them). I told her to tell his grandmother to call me and I will have the fund turned over to him. The fund is to be dispensed over four years and it should be enough to supplement him. I am SOOO proud and happy to help him. God is good!!!

4) Real Estate: slow... and slowing... but still GOOD!!


Randomness:
a) I dont read the newspaper no more...

b) I joined yet another investment group...

c) Using people who like you is never a good thing. Life will fawk you in the end and you will never be happy.

d) She is backkkkkkkkk!!!!! NO... we are back!!!

To the ladies of Delta Sigma Theta and Alpha Kappa Alpha...

January 8, 2007...

Its a new year a new me.... and hopefully a new you!

I trust everyone had a good new year's eve and am having a GREAT new year.

I wanna thank my folks for starting me on this Blog thing. I am finding it to be amusing and fun. Funny how WORDS mean so much to so many people. When I say stuff flippid (sp) and off the cuff or just say something that ...just dont matter - its interpreted so strangely. I will tell you what people I have dated said to me once... "Only take in 20% of what I am saying cause the other 80% is pure BULLSHNIT!" And quite frankly if you pick up on the BS and learn the commentary - you love me even more!

I am nonchalant... dont too much bother me. However when I think I have hurt someone or offended them, my manners take over. I just say I apologize... I dont dwell in the 'mad at you' moment. I accept it and move on. The quicker you learn this... the better. The longer you stay madd at me the less time we have to enjoy one another's company. So what you gonna do!?!?!


So... my initial randomness post of 2007.
1) I thought I missed you but I dont!

2) Went to Mayor Fenty's Inaguaral Ball ... very classy... too bad. Nope Imma let it all play out.

3) Did you see the Wizards last night? WOW!

4) I changed the layout...sorry if I lost the information. I will get it up there soon.

5) In 2007...dont forget the tips I spoke with you about---> save, invest, and plan for the future.

Happy Founder's Day

Its been 96 years of acheivement and excellence.... Congrats Nupes!
