As I scrambled to get together a last minute BBQ, I reached out to some friends I haven't seen or talked to in a while. Talking to these people also inspired me to visit a friend of mine who has had my back since I moved here. "Ma GA" was so happy to see me when I stopped by and visa versa....we reminisced, drank and ate crabs. It was truly nice catchin up with her and even better getting her caught up with me.
It's funny how people know you and tell you how somebody isn't good enough for you. I had already been hearing this from influential people in my life the past week, so for someone you haven't talked to in a while, especially about "the" situation, to make a comment like that, you have to wonder how true it is. I often think, you just don't know him the way I do, but now I am wondering if I am blinding myself with desires and the will to prove "them" wrong. One thing is for sure, the longer it takes for something real to happen, the less interested I am in it happening.
I got a call from my little brother last night telling me he is in Pittsburgh. He didn't know that that's just an hour or so from me, i'm really hopping who he's riding with will bring him this way. If not, I have told him i'd come get him but he'll have to stay the night. He seemed okay with that. Then he called back at around 1am asking me to look for a skating rink with adult skate on Sunday's. He loves to skate, he's one of those guys who do tricks in the middle of the floor, he got that honest, my daddy was in a "skating crew". I haven't looked yet but will do so shortly.
Early this morning I was up cooking for the BBQ. I made baked beans, green beans and potatoes, mac & cheese and a pound cake. That's it for my contributions. "Swell" and his boy "Manny" are coming, if they don't have their dish to pass, i'll let them claim one of mine for a nominal fee. Hopefully my little brother will call me early so I can find out what's going on with him. "Burt" my friend who lives with his girl, whom is married (crazy right) is also in town, and I invited him too.
It's likely going to rain today, but the show must go on.....
Until next time

You are soooo busy....I needed to take a momemt to see what you were talking about and leave me some words for the day...talk to you maybe tomorrow...holla...how is "Ma GA"?
I think many times women and men waste too much time telling too many people about their intentions when it comes to friendships and relationships. It's one thing to talk to one or two people about whats going on but thats it. Make your own decisions based on common sense and reality. Not from what others tell you to do. No matter what, own up to your decisions whether the results are good or bad.
