Update

Noticed that I hadn't blogged since January so figured it was only right to fill you in...

1. Still working at the sales job, but have managed to become the top volume rep. I worked hard to get there, but now that I'm there, I can only thank God for rewarding my determination. Also recently negotiated a 4-day work week with my program director which means more time to do me!

2. I'm somewhat aggressively dating now. Got a few (more than I've ever had before) women that I'm currently "talking to". I'm learning more and more about what I like/dislike in a woman. At times, phone ringing and text message notifications can get overwhelming, but I'm getting better everyday at managing the "team".

3. Finally moving out to a new place at the beginning of next month (pics will follow). I'm both excited and nervous because this will be the 1st time in my life that I will live all by myself. I plan on sleeping nekkid for at least the 1st 3 months.

4. Got back in touch with the ex and we are trying this whole "friends" thing. She's since got a new man that she's been dating for about 6 months, but dude is overseas for a year right now so I kinda feel like she uses me to be her "boyfriend" but not sometimes. Honestly, I still have feelings for her and I see myself having to step back from her sometime in the future because I find myself neglecting my "team" because I'm chillin with her and she already got her somebody. Don't wanna find myself hella single when her dude comes back because I gave her all my time. To be continued on that one...

5. Got accepted into law school and was going to go, but my loan fell through. Was EXTREMELY frustrated for a lil bit, but everything happens for a reason so I know God has something better planned for me. Letting go and letting God....

I'm sure there's more, but I can't think of it all right now...what I can say is that in the first 7 months of this 2010, I have been extremely blessed and have I seen my life grow and improve in all the ways that I prayed for and more. I'm excited to see how the rest of this year will go...

Time Waits For No One...

Got invited to a wedding by one of the homies from college. That's the 3rd one that is getting/has been married. Starting to feel like maybe I should be looking for a wife. But then again, I've always felt like what's for me is for me...

It's funny because when I was in college, I was dating my ex through most of it, everyone said I would be the first to get married. Now here we are a few years later, and I'm starting to feel like the george clooney of the crew. No wifey, no girlfriend, no baby mama, NOTHIN. While I do enjoy the benefits of my very single status, a part of me thinks that finding a wife and getting married is part of growing up. Almost like I can't be a "grown ass man" fareal until I have a wife and children.

I don't get any pressure from my fam or anything like that...it's just me being my own worst critic again...My wife is out there. I may or may not have met her, but I do know that God has made her for me and I for her. Besides, I'm only goin through that marriage fiasco ONCE, so damn right I'll take my time...
