Magically by the grace of God a copy of Kanye's Graduation dropped in my lap. As if by some happenstance I've been enjoying it thoroughly...like massively...Not that i didn't like Kanye's 2 other cd's but this one is skit free thus far...because as you know with leaks it's never the final cut..So who knows what the final will be like. As you my readers are well aware...Kayne does not drop till 9/11..At the same time a copy of Curtis dropped by too..but i passed on that..I've never been a big 50 fan..so why start?...one of my friends exclaimed..it's free music..yes it's free but i still have standards..Now back to Graduation I think Kanye worked with a lil of everyone on this cd...i was surprised not to see some Common but i guess he wasn't going for the obvious..with everyone from Chris Martin of Coldplay to T-Pain..Graduation is poised to be a must have. Seriously...i think Ye recorded with someone from at least every genre of music or at least sampled it..In addition to the production..this joint cranks..For a further break down..holla @ Wikipedia My faves thus far...Of course "Stronger(for my daft punk fans)," "Champion(which samples Kid Charlemagne by Steely Dan)," "Good Life(with it's PYT sample)," "Barry Bonds," "Homecoming," and "Big Brother(which seems like an ode to Jayz rearing of him). If a copy happens to find it's way to you..Don't pass..rather listen and purchase it when it drops 9/11.

Have a good weekend!

I guess when your truly happy words can't express what's going on inside..so please excuse the hiatus. My brain has been everywhere contemplating the next step. So what's the next step?...You'll see. :) Let's just say I'm planning for the future but I'm living everyday like it's the last. Having said that..a friend of mines is having a bbq this weekend. It's a possibility I'm not going to make it. Mostly because of a ride..but i have to be back home Sunday by noon. Yesterday he kept asking had i asked everyone who was possibly coming up..to that i responded yeah..I mean because, as folks do they change their minds day in and day out..so one person going may not go come the day of. He also asked did i ask a mutual friend of ours. I said yes, and in fact i asked him first. I told him that the dude was leaving from DC, and that was the reason dude gave me for not asking me did i need a ride. So me being the ditsy blond i am sometimes..let it rock for a moment..then i was like well i only live downtown..so if u can scoop me that would be great..i got u on half gas/tolls...to that i got no response. Now this is where it got crazy...cause said friend who was having the bbq kept going over the story like i had left out a key or something. If someone tells u that they didn't ask did u need a ride because they were leaving from DC..but know they gotta ride pass bmore(and live in bmore..and know where u live) to get to philly..then it's safe to say that person does not wanna offer you a ride...am i correct in my assumption? So i said i entered my carpooling details on the evite..at which time said friend who's having the bbq says i wouldn't check there..then i was like why u even have that options on yo damn evite...Needless to say...i may not be making this one which may be good since i seem to be a fixture @ these parties. Maybe i should stay home. *shrugs* Either way I'm not sweating it..less money out the pockets! And besides i have 2 weekend of mini vacation coming up..so i'm really on that fuck it tip...

My liver needs some rest...

So friday i go home after work chill out, because I have some folk in town for a music conference. Aight..I have a small salad..and a few sips of wine..figuring by the time they call and i walk down to meet them it'll be on..So i get down there meet them we end up in this spot called the side bar...2buck beer..i have 1...After being there for an hour we decide to head over to Fells Point and pass out flyers for their show which was last night...We get down there..scope some parking and bang out. Peruse a few bars...what do u know greene turtle has brews for a 1.50..so after slamming back what seemed to be a case..we leave, litter cars with flyers and head to The turntable club for a hip hop show..we get there..mingle..i see some more familiar faces...(a few of my folks joked me this weekend for being the unofficial mayor of bmore..but yeah) So i'm at the bar..and this dude comes up to me..Bew radley...i just gasps because this is not the first time someone has recognized me off Myspace but he threw in an extra zinger...Yo thanks he goes..u've been my friend on myspace for some time..u're in alot of people Top friends...and i see u on OKP major like..*egads i think* thanks? He bought me a drink...hugged me and moved to another section of the club...I got a text joking i was famous on the innernets..but whatever! So we migle some more..and then it happened..the damn lights went out...the funny shit was..that the owner went scrambling for their bg&e bill..only to see a notice for a scheduled black out..i live for the hood...hahahah...so to compensate..they just start doling out drinks..now im already smashed..but i took it to 100% capacity...it was pretty decent..candles..floodlights and my drunk folks...i'd give the night an A+.
Day 2...no lie..i layed in bed till about 3pm...I didnt move..i didnt have a headache..i just kinda laid there..and really didnt reconvene with the folks till like 7ish...Before they got there i walked down the block(baltimore street...strip club central) to check out one of my fave spots when i was younger...Crazy Johns...the thing about the block is..u'll see all kinds of folks down there...even some chicks that u know shouldnt be strippin, but that's another story...one huge pepsi and a shrimp cheese steak with everything later...the calls begin...that's the good thing about being known for your city..u get the calls when people fall thru...Several calls and a few directions laters everyone was spoken for the Sankofa/Dumhi performance which was most excellent..Paper Moon diner afterwards....jokes and jokes and jokes later..i was home in my air conditioned apartment...I cant wait till Sept. 7.....And now im bloggin live and direct from the laundromat...who's change machine was down this morning..i almost cried...lugging this crap 2 blocks...but a merciful merchant blessed me with 10 bucks worth of qtrs...thank you God! Today is cool out day..because next weekend is finna be a dozie!

Be well..

Ps. I'm still hot that it seems like all the spots i got to have unsecure networks..but the tight wads in my neighborhood dont...i may have to post an ad on craigslist..

Is black n' milds the new newport. I mean i can't go a few feet anywhere in the US, let alone Bmore without seeing someone toke on this.. Is this a persons way of saying..no i don't smoke but every now and again I'll have a black n' mild? As a reformed "i smoke socially" smoker...i have abandoned my quest for a puff while getting smashed. I now prefer my likka and drunk rantings free of smoking..I figured I'd kick that small habit right now way before the impending ban coming in Jan 2008... It would be a bitch to be out enjoying a drink or 3 and u wanna light up and u can't..u have to be ostracized and moved outdoors.. something like that happened to me in NYC 2 years ago.. One night while out with friends around the Christopher St. corridor..we strayed away and went to a place called Madame X (which i later found out had a foot fetish party every Saturday night ;)..but that's another story) Anyway the interior of Madame X is what u think it would be..Baroque furniture..very Victorian brothel in the inside..red lights...very nice and atmospheric..but i went to light up a clove and the whole place gasped in horror..a server said they had a smoking section outside...I'd notice that there were not a lot of people inside the spot..and i wondered what was going on since it was like 2am on a fri...so i traveled to the smoking section which was an outdoor Turkish/morrocan thing..complete with red/orange lights..pillows..colorful textiles...it was wondrous...and 80% of the lounge was there...Needless to say i spent the rest of my evening in the garden of good and evil. But back to black n' milds...they even have the nerve to have a wine flavor...i mean like that's sexy...everyones had them...and i think it was actually my first tobacco product till i knew better...or rather till i decided i didn't like the way it made my lips feel and look...Now days i see black n' mild smokers try to mask their odoriferous breath with a tictac or some random spearmint gum...blah...

Who drinks Ponies? u know what ponies are...like 6oz cans or bottles of beer...come on! Having a pony would infuriate me...like seriously.. That was random but i thought about the last time i went fishing with my homeboy..i killed like a small village of ponies...

I missed salsa class...i just wasn't up for it..instead i went over a friends house..played scrabble..had a nice salad..vegged out and walked my ass home...
It's funny because last night as my friend is walking me home..he asked me to stop in the story with him..he had spent all night joning on me for my apparent love of snacks after having said salad..every time i picked up a cookie he kinda looked out the side of his eye..and that really started to fuck with me..then it annoyed me..then i eventually said fuck it and walked my tipsy tail home with him following...i'm babblin..but while we're walking to my house..he goes stop in this story with me..i turned around, i said the first thing that came out my mouth..No. he looked in disbelief...u serious?..yeah I'm tired..I'm going home...i didn't give him a hug or anything..he stood there..hugged himself as i turned the corner to leave...i kid u not dude hugged himself...

I have a sleeve for my laptop...i totally forgot it was back to school in our area for like 5 schools..i went to target yesterday and the whole electronics section was wiped out..But i got a cute burgundy sleeve..and it's padded :)...So now i can continue to carry my laptop in my trendy huge bags.

Have a good weekend..

ps..i'm kinda pissed..no one said anything about that qtip track nor the kermit thingy but ICyall!

It's rainy..i over slept again..and i wanna go get back in my bed.

I wasn't gonna write a blog entry today..and let that one from Monday rock...But i felt compelled..As i sit here at work..legs wet..booty wet..feet wet..I'm pissed..I've never been so wet coming to work in my life..I had it in my right mind to turn back around and go home...but i know i have a flurry of absences forthcoming..so I'm playing good girl...In addition to being wet..I have some kinda inner ear ache and it's getting on my nerve but I'm also not trying to go to the doctor's period! Last time i went I ended up playing 35 in total..for a misdiagnoses...that's no good. I'm sitting at my desk listening to my original rainy day cd..Long time no see..Chico Debarge..he had some choice cuts on this piece...sultry..sexy... Now that i think of it I'm not so much annoyed by the rain..it's the fact that I'm wet at work...because last night..me and dude walked from my house to his in the rain..just strolling..laughing..the rain felt cool and good..and by the time we got to his spot..what do u know..we were both soaked...and u know soaked clothing has to come off ;) Morning came and i didn't wanna roll but alas like i said work calls. It's cool because there's always this evening.

This past Saturday I was at the beach..and I'll admit my hair was pretty stunning..Sun catching the highlights..me in my baby doll dress...And right before i was about to take my dress off and stroll to the beach..Someone said girllllllllllllllll your going swimming? I said yes..she was like but your hair looks so pretty..i said i can recapture it..she went on to say how she wasn't swimming and how she hasn't swam in some time(see: years) I said all because of some hair...then i thought back to when i had long hair and how i dreaded going swimming because of all the work that went into it..But this go round all i did was pack some leave in conditioner and kept it moving..so i went down to the shore..walked in a bit..ran some and then took a dive..it felt so good..I'd say out of about 10 women that went with us..2 only swam..and i see this will prolly be the same when it comes to Miami..but i love the water!! And now that i know exactly where this beach is..I'm going back a few more times before the middle of sept.

Yesterday while cleaning off my old home PC..I found a rare jewel that was released or rather leaked in 2002...I loved this cd because it was quirky, off beat and harnessed some gems. That cd/promo was Kamaal the Abstract It was shelved because Arista deemed it "non radio friendly=un-commercial." The very sad thing about it is that he's still in negotiations to get it re-released this year. I'm upset like 3-4 songs are missing from my file but I do have my absolute fave to share with you...It's called Do U Dig U?

Very unproductive evening..after leaving the cafe i went home made dinner and vegged out..managed to see part of the Giants v. Ravens game..we didn't win..no TD's..eh come on regular season!

I've always seen spots that always offered free wi-fi but i never knew how essential it would be in my quest for free innernets access.. Being as tho i let my cable/innernets go 2 years ago..I'm re-thinking that right now on days like this...i woke up this morning very tired mind you because i did go to the beach yesterday and even had the nerve to do an after party if u will but..that's the next paragraph. This morning i was awaken by the cool breeze and the faint sound of water hitting moving tires...ahhhh it is raining.. anyone that knows me knows I'm a sunshine child..but nevertheless i showered and dress..seems i fell asleep in my bikini from yesterdays excursions...I had a small list of things to accomplish this morning..get the new essence, stop for a cup of coffee@ city cafe, loaf in the cafe then get some groceries for tonight's meal.. Not hard at all right?? So after going to Rite aid and them not having the new Essence i got really snobby and decided not to get Marie Claire...so that brings me to City Cafe and yes i am here..sipping my Colombian coffee and typing...I have joined the masses..also being only one of a few people of color in the spot..as well as the neighborhood. I'll probably loaf around until i get a call to hang out or until the grocery across the street seems like it'll close..because after all a sisters got to eat.

Yesterday i went to the beach in Boonesville,MD...Greenbrier to be exact...It's a man made beach which is great because...it has no jellyfish!! So we got there at 1pm..stayed till 6/7...While there..there was this lil boy...as bad as he could be..he refused to sit still..he was a ball of energy...I took it upon myself to take him to the beach...we were in a picnic area..I decided to tire him out since no one took him swimming...Now I thought i could possibly scar this child...or be one of his fondest moments..either way he was too young to care...i took him on my hip to the edge of the water..he whined...i started walking and walking till i was waist deep..at this time he wailed...i slide in a lil more...took him by his body and floated him along the water..twirling him around he giggled...i swished he giggled some more..then i decided to do it..dunk the child...i played like a buoy and bobbed up and down..then.i dipped him...shocked he looked at me..water on his face...he died laughing..i spun him in the water...dunked him again..he squealed with delight..It was enough laughter that made me think..i could do this..i could be a mother...I stayed in the water with him for a moment..playing..splashing..skippin rocks..and by the time it was sunset...maybe it was the moment..maybe it was the bonding..but i seriously thought of children...it wasn't until i had to troop back up the hill with him on my hip...wet and clinging to me..that i decided.....wth? this child is heavy as hell..and he's bring down my sexy..ahahahahha...we got back to the picnic..i dried him...wiped him down..redressed him in cozy clothing..and feed him...I was so damn tired! For the rest of the time he clung to me like glue..and he fell asleep immediately after feeding...Mission accomplished!!! On the ride back home..i thought how awesome it would be to have a son..Maybe some day..

My good friend wants to get a house with me...that would mean..me living with 1 adult and 3 children full time..at first i thought not a bad idea if i get the top floor...but then when she asked me when my lease was up i got those panicky feels in my heart...sheesh...don't get me wrong i love my god daughters but having to deal with them erryday might kill me and my love for them...

It's here and like the nerd i am...i stayed home to get the package..and lemme say it's fast and awesome.. It also has lo jack! Holla... But i'm in Starbucks now setting everything up. Gettin itunes...i couldnt stay home and get all the updates because people have their connections secure..maybe i'll buy some wireless service from someone...*shrugs* I'm just getting over the intial hump of owning a lap top... shout to the Champ who cursed me from the start...I wont be addicted but i can see me draggin this thing every where...and like the chick i am..i need accessories :) I'll handle that wednesday... I already have my eyes on sleeves and bags. Mostly i'm happy to have something i can listen to my music on... The only complaint i have is that this Latte Brown color is so dark, it almost looks black but what can u say. Windows Vista is awesome..but i dont know how i feel about MSworks8...yowza...maybe i'll get the IT dudes at work to hook me up me MS Office....

At any rate...I'm out!

Beach tomorrow with the godbabies!!!!

My Baby should be here today! Yes my baby...
I finally broke down and got me a laptop(Insipron1420 Latte Brown)..I had given up hope on my old computer..especially after i turned it into a jewelry holder...ahahah
I was almost tempted to stay home and wait for the delivery man since i did get it shipped 2 day business :) But then i thought that would be just like the dudes who took off to play the new madden(interesting side note: the madden curse has it's own entry on wikipedia..i love that place)..so yeah...maybe i'll stay home tomorrow..

Increasingly I'm finding it harder and harder to get out of bed...nowadays i just lay there for 20 mins. before i get going..This morning I was saved because my coworker called me and asked me did i wanna go to Starbucks...and you know the answer to that..hell and yes...As soon as i walked into Starbucks, my eye caught a poster with a new blueberry creme frappuccino..yummy...but i didnt deviate...I got my caramel frappuccino! Venti pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...

Last night i was suppose to hang out with a friend(and hand down a scrabble beat down) but was way sided because out of no where I got thee worse case of cramps I've had in my life..It reminded me of the cramps i got in high school..and those were debilitating..to the point i would have to be home from school sick for 3 days straight..and there's no way I'm going back to that..so imma call my gyn today to get a new prescription for BC's..Cause the current one is not working..not only has it lengthen my period it's a bit more severe and heavier...Now that I'm done grossing u out..

Ya girl is so money today... :)
I don't think anything can bring me down today...save for this post venti frappuccino crash i got coming..

I smell bullshit..

I've been told that the reason i get passed over in relationship decisions is that i possess too much of a homegirl/sisterly vibe. At first i laughed because this was explained to me by a dude i use to date. He said well for me that's what did it..I enjoyed spending time with you..but it was something about u that was too nurturing..I was like wtf? Don't people want someone nurturing around them? *shrugs* At any rate...the fun didn't stop there..He further pontificated that maybe i need to have more edge..hahaha Plain and simple, I'm not changing who am i...hhahaha i cant believe this..I care too much

hahaha
that's been the highlight of my day..

I got this icebox where my humor use to be..
Shits just not funny anymore...I just find myself not being humored as easily as i use to..like i loves me a good laugh...but lately shits just been offensive...You may ask where'd this all come from...I, in all my infinite wisdom decided i would watch the roast of flavor flav...Bad idea jeans! What didn't border on ignant, was down right distasteful. I mean it really stunk...don't get me wrong there was some jewels in there but dammit u had to sit thru some shit just to get it.. Also during times of this weekend i noticed what my coworkers call my patented..half laugh..like that shit wasn't funny but lemme teeheehee to make u feel better..I caught myself quite a few times..and thought i was shit for not being genuine but i didn't wanna hurt the persons feelings..yes virginia there are people who still care about others feelings sometimes!
Now that i got that off my chest...Let's talk about..

When you return to work...and mf'ers skipped out on their responsibilities...If i assist you on part of your project and you know you're supposed to have this done before u go on your vacation why would you still leave things undone? In hopes that I would finish it for you...naw..you really don't think that's going to happen do you? I got something for them...those records will still be sitting here..and it will be their fault that important decisions didn't make it where they needed to be. Bump that. I was out 2 measly days..which is funny because people around here opted for a complete 1-1.5 week vacation..i decided to spread mines out over the course of the summer...ain't life grand? Don't get mad because i planned smart and well i may add..this may be the most awesome summer ever..

Lastly i felt some random dude up in a club on Saturday..cant even say it was the likka..being as tho my tolerance is very high...but i just went with it..let him kiss all on my neck too *shrugs* No one knows me there anyway(and no pervs..i didn't one night stand it..but i did get that number for future rendezvous)..*looks around* It's funny because i did think i recognized one person...and the reason i think it may have been someone i knew because like clock work..i got a call on my way home..like heyyyyyyyyy where ya at? Coincidence..i think not!

That wasnt the last thing..but why is that..when u think you're done with someone they always manage to pop up??? Or is that old adage true? Someone that u want doesn't want u,till u don't want them...holla.

Fun in the sun....Just what the doctor ordered..I played hooky from work to escape to Va Beach and round about areas. I left thursday and bought it back home sunday afternoon. The good thing about get aways are...u get to go somewhere no one knows u and spazz out...let it all hang loose and have a good time..I went to a club saturday night and had a ball..I think almost killed myself while dancing too...I had on a floor sweepin skirt and 4inch heels..hahah..i honestly thought I was going to spend a quiet evening in a bar..but no...it ended in bar hoopin...another good thing about get aways is the fooooddd..i think all weekend I had some form of raw food..i couldn't get enough of the seared ahi tuna..and 2 buck drinks...and not rail my friends! I saw 2 great football games..and am ready for the work week..from here until Sept..my weekends are packed...

*SMOOCHES

In addition..i have a new program for my treo...it logs u into 5 different im's and gchat! holla...balllin...*hugz treo* This treo has surprassed the last one as far as software..

I got my Treo backkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk...And no the myth is wrong Sprint did not automatically upgrade me to a Treo700. But that's fine I have my phone back...It's hard using a PDA for 2.5 years...and then u finna go to a flip...Like i got an attitude every time someone texted me..or sent me picture mail..I'd cringe my teeth...ShoutOut Tre who lent me his phone in it's stead..I really appreciate that...I tend to donate my old cellphone to charity or to another friend who needs a loaner...One good thing about the Treo..Is that all i had to do was Hot sync it up and all my old info will appear on this new Treo. I pray that nothing happens to this one because I can't go thru that crap again with the notarization and copying of my i.d. etc...I suppose it's necessary..anyone can roll of the street with a busted Treo and try to get a replacement...Modern technology is great...I still dont understand why some folks still steal cellphones...since the phone can be flagged and confiscated once u try to activate that joint. Also with the whole prepaid fade..u can get a cheap phone for like 20bucks..come on..i mean crackheads have cells... One of my Goddaughters this weekend was talking about she needed a cellphone so she can speak with her friends..I said girl when i was in school we only talked to our friends in school or if they lived around the way.. Immediately i thought..i am my grandmother..but it was true..i didnt really bable on the phone until i got into middle school and it was only to my friend Zarina and to my boyfriend Steven..*shrugs* At any rate she's 7..and the only phone i see her getting is one of those preset disney emergency phones...Isn't progress grand?

This is my last full day of work for this week..Holla! I think i may go out to happy hour tonight or Eden's Lounge..

Rejoice...starting in Oct i shall be increasing all my payments to bills...just by a mere 10 bucks but big business loves when you take the intuitive to up your payments yourself. In addition the savings will go up by 50...

Today is a good day.

I remember a long time ago a friend of mine suggested I read "The Rules" She exclaimed and gave her testimony about how the book gave her sight beyond sight(ha..thundercats) into the world of dating...Of course I paid her no mind. And as she scrutinized just about every dude she dated with these damn rules..she was no closer to capturing and retaining a husband, than the next chick.. I've never been one for self help books that were overtly preacher, but i stayed getting an Inyanla Vanzant book each year...Damn, i thought what's wrong with me?...My conclusion absolutely nothing. I think in my perusing of library and and bookstore racks I came across Sistagurl rules but, just like it's counterpart...I wasn't for it...Lemme list a few rules for u..

* Don't accept a Saturday night date after Wednesday
* Don't talk to a man first (and don't ask him to dance)
* Don't call him and rarely return his calls
* Don't meet him halfway or go dutch on a date

Apparently you have some women who swear by this...and in a recent issue of Glamour, I think Cheryl Tiegs of all people was singing it's praises.. *shrugs* Different strokes for different folks.. I think i'mma do some more scouring to find out the success rate...It seems the 2 authors do seminars..I bet they do..they also offer the book in several different languages..The also have a The Rules to Online dating...who knew??? Things like this make me anxious to find my writing niche and exploit it so i can get those $$$'s why not want some notoriety?

This weekend alone i think i lose some 50 odd lbs..No lie between tailgating..skating and walking it was a bit much...I've never felt so musty and funky in my life..even tho i was fresh out the shower..I still felt like i wasn't clean enough.. :(

Saturday I started out walking in the am..I felt like someone had socked me in my face..but i wasn't letting it get in the way of my fun...Too much to type here..But in the evening I went out with friends to celebrate their daughters bday..and can i say..black folks and ruby tuesday don't mix...It's no way in hell u're ordering the kids dinner and thinking you're getting the salad bar for free...I mean these kids got hefty plates of salad..not on some ole lemme get some grapes and some bacon and some croûtons..no these kids put together some salad..for the record if your child is old enough to differentiate between feta..american and cheddar cheese..it's time to get them off the kids menu...2 mini's are not a meal for a growing lil boy...i digress..

I played chaperone sunday @ a skate party...a few things..I have rediscovered my love for the carvel ice cream cake..I'm sure this will change in 4 days..2. why was the ac messing up at the rink...I've never sweat the way i sweat yesterday..so much so i had to rewrap my "taste o' hair" I call it a taste because pretty much all i have is a razor cut to some bangs that are side swept. Pretty much an emo hair cut(dramatic in the front...little to nothing in the back) Anyway...after what seemed like everyones child latching onto me and wanting to skate with me, my arms felt like putty by the time it was over..and i was never so glad a party ended at 4pm in my life... i went home and quietly spent the rest of the evening watching specials on msnbc...what a life hunh?

I'd like to speak on the coolness factor in some male/female relations...I met a guy who just so happens to live a few blocks from me..and for the life of me he really thinks I'm cool...like to the point he calls me ice cold...i beg to differ...i only vibe off what people give me..and he's very laid back himself..he'll insinuate he wants company but wants me to officially ask..at first it was cute but now I'm like eh..i can live without the who asked who first spiel ..this has cost me convenience but I'll/he'll be aight...I'm not calling dude because that's all he wants me to do..to be the one to initiate every time..where's the fun in that? And as my grammy always said...Don't view someone as a priority when they see u as an option....

thank u god bless and good day

Gee Wilikers!

Last night i went out with friends...and needless to say there was excessive imbibing of adult beverages. I got home a lil past eleven..laid on my bed under the air returned the few calls I received and ignored while out...I chugged to bottles of water right before I turned in...my mouth felt very very dry. I rolled over and went to sleep...I woke up this morning @ 6..and just laid there contemplating whether or not to come in. I have tons of work to wrap up so i decided to roll into work..not before bribing a coworker to come pick me up..the bait? starbucks! green tea fraps! Those things are like crack. Anyway..Needless to say I can say i cant hang like i use too...*weeps for my liver*

In my random travels people love to stop me for random love and fashion advice...Last night was no exception..I think i passed out a million of my BFF's biz cards...Needless to say the emo cut is killing in bmore...It feels nice to blaze your own path in terms of hair..especially in a town known for hair(no matter how ghetto) But i do feel it's time to evolve..because so many people like this cut..i feel people will soon request it..making it a hot fall do in bmore..and that means it wont be a shabourgie exclusive anymore.. As the days go by..my hair is getting longer and longer in the front..but last night over drinks we discussed a new plan of action for my hair..I'm also very very proud that I haven't gotten a weave yet..Like you dont know how major this is for me. Major!

Possibly next fri i may be doing a re-shoot for the pics..i'll post a few here after I view them..

I'm so money right now!(for the slang challenged
I just changed the billing cycle on all my bills to reflect my new pay schedule and that shit is killing me right now..but guess what! I'm so money! If hookups did not exist I don't know what i'd do. Thank your for friends all over who are jacks of all trades...I salute you.

Today is Jazzy Summer Nights In the past I have lambasted them..but they serve a purpose and it's time I get back out there and network with my folks to see what the deal really is. And besides I look and smell good..I'll see how long this lasts today...hahaha You know moods change. But I won't be passing up the opportunity to go to my fave watering hole immediately after work. Gyeah..

Let's see..Aug is shaping up to be the bomb..Martha's Vineyard..Wine Tasting in NYC..Miami soon after...

Life's Grand!
Peace

ps. *strange fact of the day* Did you know Keith Murray released another cd Tuesday..
Yeah Rap Murr Phobia...I don't know guys..go to itunes and check it out yourselves.

This is like week 3 without my Treo...I can't see how people use flip phones..well maybe because that's all they use...But I've been using my Treo for 2.5 years..and going back to a flip fucking hurts...i hate texting now..it's more annoying that ever..I mean now i hate using the phone :(. Today I will be calling Asurion to find out what's the status of my claim. For those that don't know i dropped my Treo on the carpet here at work and the screen just went black. Basically i took it to a Sprint Service Center ..they told me I had to do a claim..which led me to the Headset insurance company..the pretty fucked up thing alot of people don't know is..the money u pay your phone company's every month is moot...and what they need to tell u is to buy an extended warranty on your phone..i don't even know if they offer those..but pretty much if u're phone is not under warranty and u need a replacement u have to go thru a third party..pay then 50 bucks to get your replacement refurbished phone..that would be fine and dandy if i didn't need a affidavit to be notarized and some ole extra shit. *Sheesh*

To all the folks who emailed me yesterday cursing me for wanting Fall to come I say Fuck you...It's sweltering right now..and it's not cute..how can one maintain their sexy..looking extra shiny and sweaty...they cant!
