Been a minute...I've been workin...A LOT...feel like there is always something that needs/has to be done, including now, but I feel like just venting in some way right now...
For the past 8 months or so, I've been living with one of my homies. When I broke up with my ex, I was pretty much homeless so I he allowed me to move in with him. In the past it was easy to deal with it because I had no other options at the time. Now that I've been working for a couple of months, I make more than enough money to move out and get my own place. He and I had a discussion about it and I told him the reason I hadn't seriously considered moving was because I didn't want to be the type to use people. I did that before and I refuse to be that person anymore. I didn't want to get a job, then all of a sudden leave, not doing anything to show my appreciation (a la helping out with bills or paying a portion of rent, etc.). He told me that if it would be better for me to have my own space, then he would have no problem with me making that move. That was Monday. So for the last couple days I have been thinking about moving. While I'm okay with having a roommate, one thing I have learned in this time living with him is that I absolutely cherish my own space. I have learned that my whole attitude can darken when I feel like I don't have my own space to just sit and do nothing by myself for a time, to the point where everybody I'm around feels my "leave me the f#@k alone" vibe. I talked to a few coworkers and they told me about a place where they live that has relatively good prices with a lotta space so I'm goin to go check it out this weekend. I'm still wondering if I want to take on the responsibility of my own place right now, because one side of me is considering the possibility of going to law school in another state, but I don't know...Like I said...I just wanted to vent...

Random Shit
- Today reminded me why I HATE goin to the dmv. I woke up around 730am to go get my license reinstated (praise jesus) and was kindly greeted by the slowest customer service EVER. They announced that they were "transitioning" to a new system and today (of all days) was the first day they would go "live". Being that I was one of the first people in line, I was one of the test tube babies for this "new system". Whatever system it was, it failed monumentally today because, 3 hours later, I still didn't have my license, and then they announced that they would return to the "old system" so they could get people processed. Once again, THAT'S why I hate the dmv.
- Went and saw that Twilight: New Moon movie. Don't know if it was just me, but I felt infinitely more lame watching this movie than I did watching the first one. It seemed that they were just a tad (sarcasm) more aggressive about tailoring the movie to prepubescent girls. Why were werewolves forced to run around shirtless with George Michael cutoff jean shorts on? And why were Edward's lines ALL cheesy romance crap like "Just you breathing is a gift" and "I can't see myself living in a world in which you don't exist"....When I left the theater I had to check my pants to make sure my manhood was still there.
- Biggie said the realest sh*t ever when he said "mo money, mo problems". I feel like I work now just to spend my check. When I was dead a$$ broke and jobless, all I worried about was working out and looking for a job telling myself, "the only bill you really have is your phone bill..." I'm a lyin sack o you know what for tellin myself that tale. Seems like everybody wants my money now. I looked at what I had gotten paid since I started and said "what the F#@K was I spending my money on?" BILLS. And moochin a$$ negroes who look for me to support their joblessness. THAT'S what.
- The homie juz got the new Blackberry Bold 2 and let me play with it for a second...I think I'm in luv...
- Someway somehow...I contracted pink eye. I had heard of it before yesterday, but for some reason I thought that was only a white people problem. God has decided to obliterate that myth by using me as the example...
- My aunt randomly called me today, saying that she had thought about me and wanted to invite me over to her house because she was going to have a get together for my cousin's bday next week. I found this weird because her and my uncle (my mom's brother) broke up a while ago. Also weird because I had always noticed my aunt randomly looking at me when I would come over for holiday dinner with her and my uncle. Ever since I came out here for college. She creeps me out...
- Got a little ego boost the other day when the wife of a VERY prominent music man came on to me in a not so subtle manner. And this isn't me bullsh*ttin because I have witnesses. What can I say? Ya boy's so handsome :)

- I went to work today and didn't find out until AFTER my shift that I was supposed to be OFF today...my manager said, "Look at it this way...Your check is going to be a little bit fatter next week!" I told him to bring his a$$ in on his next day off and let me tell him that ol' "turn lemons to lemonade" bullsh*t". Das wack. Ain't no way to sugarcoat that.
- I got an email from my ex today saying simply that she forgave me for cheating on her. We haven't had any communication in about 6 or 7 months. Honestly, it made my day a lil bit...deep sh*t rite?
- Had a funny discussion with my mom on the phone tonight. She was suggesting (telling) to me that I needed to handle a situation a certain way. I argued that she was stating her opinion as fact. She went further to say that the way she would do it is the right way to handle it. I said how could she know if she had never been in the same situation that I am currently in? She went on to give the lame "mother knows best" trump card they all use. I then told her that I realized where I got that tendency from. I too would state my opinion as fact. My sister had always told both me and my mom about ourselves on many occasions, but today for some reason it hit me. We both had a good laugh about it...
- It has seemed like every day for the last week or so, I have signed up or ran into an attorney at the airport. I'm a believer that God gives us signs, and it's up to us to perceive them. I'm thinking that those "coincidences" aren't that "coincidental"....
- True story; me and the homies were having an argument last night at the crib about the music industry (like we always do) and an episode of "Desparate Housewives" was on. There was some scene where one of the girls was cheating on her husband or something and she was about to get caught, but her friend saved her. Tell me why somehow, in the middle of our conversation we all shut up at the same time and watched that whole scene in silence for a good 10 or 15 minutes. That's how you know you got a tv show. We represented in no way the target audience, but our black a$$es where sittin there in silence watchin this chick hide her jumpoff outside her bedroom window on the roof while she lied to her husband. We came out of it when my man was like, "Wait, wtf were we talkin about?" Hilarious.

Might have to go to Miami tomorrow...Music biz is crazy...Don't really wanna go (because I know it would involve me driving), but whatever, I could use a small vacay.
People keep telling me that I'm losing weight so I got on the scale today...192.4...Last time I was on I was around 194. I do feel a little bit smaller, but I feel stronger than I felt at 222. I'm proud of myself for sticking with this workout and eating healthy (for the most part) thing. Usually, I'll last a month or two, then come up with different things to do, but this time I've managed to add a little variety whenever I get bored so it makes it easier to do...
I saw on the news today a story about a pack of wild dogs that killed an elderly couple in the boonies. The first thing the Humane Society spokesperson says is that those dogs must not have been spayed or neutered, and these types of attacks are "one in a million". Now when Mike Vick kills some dogs, that negro needs to go to maximum security prison and should never be allowed to play football again. How come those dogs get a pass because, in so many words, they are merely products of their environment, and Vick doesn't because growing up in a low-income urban area where dogfighting was a local hobby apparently has nothing to do with why he thought it was okay to engage in the same activity as an adult? I've never fought dogs in my life, but in no universe that exists will I ever value the life of a dog as much as the life of a person...
*In the immortal words of Forrest Gump..."Now that's all I got to say about that...."
