I cried. Not a lot but enough, lost my voice and screamed and ran around my house.
I cried for Grandpa George, Grandpa Otis, Grandpa Joseph and Grandma Jones. I wish so badly that my grandfather (George) was still here to see this, I would love to hear what he'd say.
Wow, a black man, is our president.
Now I am going to watch Fox news to see if anyone is crying.

I like this because, I get to learn different things from my elders. So why, for the life of me can't I interalize the advice of my mother...
If you want to keep something a secret... TELL NO ONE.
There are certain situations that cannot be helped. Like if you learn so not so pleasing news in the presence of others, there is really no way that you can change the fact that they know. But, I would like to think that they would have enough respect for me and the delicate situation to keep their mouths shut... but maybe that is asking for too much.
I think that if I want my business spread all over the world I would get a webpage, make a YouTube video and post it for all the world to see.
But maybe I am expecting too much, and like the title of this post states, I should really know better by now.

The pluses of the weekend.
**My 88 dollar fine was reduced to 12 dollars @ the library. ( YES!) I have to admit that I really missed by library privileges. So that was really cool.
**The BBQ @ Teri's was wonderful. Because Teri always cook massive amounts of food, I had a plate to take to work with me. The conversation is always so enlightening when Teri is around.
** Playing goldfish with my 3 y/o niece
** Getting a positive critique from my professor in my creative writing class. ( I am struggling with finding my voice in all of my writing so this was really appreciated.)
** Boston is going to win the championship @ home. I really wanted them to win in LA but, I also want them to make it home safely so, the win will be in Boston.
There were some sucky things about this weekend, but you know what... I won't even focus on them.
I hope that everyone has a wonderfully positive day and work week.

This post is NOT Filtered Ha!
So even though yesterday started out to be the day from hell. It ended rather nicely. Of course, everyone is talking about Obama clinching the Democratic nomination. I am in disbelief, I didn't think it was possible. I only wish that my grandfather would have been alive to see this. This man fought tirelessly for civil rights, I know that this would have touched his heart. I think that this moment in history would've illustrated that his struggle wasn't in vain.
***************
I was excited to go out to Black Pearl, and saddened to see that yet another venue had a total disregard for a night. Long story short, the owners didn't want to do the poetry thing anymore and didn't tell the organizers until he tracked them down. That was just foul.
***************
I went to dinner with

tericolschroederjt and Missy ( I don't know her user tag) I learned that eggplant fries are delicious and they go well with embarrassment. ***************
I heard a poem last night that honestly had me in tears, my favorite line:
"It's only half time, put your helmet back on and put the gun down."
***************
3 days until my trip. *smirk*

The funniest thing that I have heard all week:
(I know that it is only Tuesday)
Son: Dada, can we stop at Graters for ice cream?
Dad: Do you have underwear on?
Son: No.
Dad: Well then no, we can't stop for ice cream.
I don't know why, but that brought me to tears.

The last time I posted I was missing a car. It still hasn't been recovered, but I have another one and I can't complain. (Well, I could but I won't.)
**29 is coming hard and fast and I can't do anything to stop it. I am freaking out the is the last year of my twenties... I mean I feel like there was something else I was supposed to do before 30 came along and you know what, I can't quite figure out what it is. Of course the birthday curse struck again and I will not be able to go to Alabama and hang out with my Dad, but I am not sad, I will just have to find something to do.
**Work is still work and school is still school. So no major changes there.
**For the first time in ages, I am kinda sorta seeing someone...(WHAT!) We get along well, he makes me laugh and we have a lot in common and I am scared sh*tless cause I don't know what to do about this. I am doing the exact opposite of what I normally do which is rush into a relationship. So I am slowing way down and just taking it day by day.
** I think that I have temporarily lost my mind because I have entered into Wanda's crazy contest with some die hard fitness freaks. ( Yeah you
tericol.) So I decided to do the things that I enjoy best. I went skating Sunday totally busted my ass trying to avoid a kid who took a nasty spill on the hardwood. Needless to say that I am now moving very slowly. Tonight, I am just going to do some nice easy line dancing. So that's it kids...til next time

I hope that you needed it more than I did! Apparently you did if you had to steal a hooptie like mine. You are so lucky that I partied way too hard the night before and slept in on Sunday. Cause the good Lord knows that if I would have caught you in the act I would tried to go upside your head with this metal bat..... MotherFUCKER!!!

The band is named Mysterious Flying Orchestra, that is also the album name. I couldn't find this album anywhere. I almost couldn't find proof that the band exist. But there in some strange twist of fate, my album was there. It was a very intense bidding war for the last 2 mins and 35 seconds. A battle royale if you will, but I emerged victorious in the end.
In other news, Houdini (my new cat) has stopped running from me every time that I get close to him. He actually comes up to me now, I think that we will be fine, but I don't know how Boobie is going to take to him.
For those who didn't know, the visit with my father was Unbelievable. It just answered so many questions that I had and we are working on building a great relationship and I couldn't be happier about that. We talk on the phone like every other day. I will be going to Birmingham for my birthday in 08' to meet my other brothers and sisters.
I am tired and I am going to bed now.
Later.

| What type of person do you attract? Your Result: You attract geeks! Your stunning intellect and love of sci-fi and video games allures the geeks like nothing else. Maybe it is the sparkle in your eye that makes them want to text you, who knows. Geeks make good partners, but tend to be arguementative. If you are a TRUE geek magnet, you will know if that was spelled correctly, and actually care. If it is a bad-boy/bad-girl you are seeking, you are barking up the wrong tree, unless they are just 'bad' behind a PS2 console. | |
