Coolin

I know I short changed myself yesterday, but I was seriously tudin'. Lebron was on fire and Mr. Billups effed up all our winning shots...how you gone freeze up in a clutch like that? It's hard being a die hard fan, especially when you know your squad has a good chance of loosing....but we never want to admit it.

Today was a good day overall....I had breakfast this morning at Tastee Diner, and it was pretty darn good. Now I know to order the kids mini pancakes, they are the perfect size for me. The turkey bacon was good too, i'm pretty sure it was Louis Rich, I was so happy when I opened the container and saw it was good turkey bacon and not the kind that looks like cardboard.

A friend that i've mentioned before suggested we go to a park in the nearby area. It was just cooling down and about 45 minutes until dark so I said sure. We met at the park and sat and talked. I realized how observant I can be (some would consider it nosy). I was noticing the rabbit's play pattern. There was also a man and his son on the baseball diamond. They were playing baseball and kick ball. The little boy had to be about 4 or 5 years old. It was so amusing and entertaining to me. I thought to myself.....that's how stars are born. When he's a famous baseball player or playing soccer some where and we hear his father talking about "such n such park back in the day and when they used to go when he was 4 years old", don't say I didn't tell you so. I wasn't rude though, I did engage in some pleasant conversation too.

When I got back home, I finished prepping for the 5K tomorrow morning. I planned on running it originally but I think i'll have to do a little compromising with myself from time to time. I will have my water bottle and ( I hate the name of this) fanny pack, i'm not sure how much running I can do with that, but i'm gonna give it a shot. It should be a good turn out from DB, it sure feels good when you see people participate in something that matters. This walk is for Breast Cancer disease my grandmother Mae Bell Russell had which spread to her bones and caused her fate. Grandma died when I was about 3 or 4 from what I can remember, but I still remember how beautiful she was.... I never would've imagined in a million years she was sick.

I Love You Grandma

Well that's it for me tonight folks..........i'm working on tickets and a date, or group for that fact, to the Universoul Circus. I've never been before and have been anxious to do so since I moved here. Hopefully i'll be blogging about my experience....until next time.

Not Happy

I'm so upset Detroit just lost. I did have so much more to talk about, but that's all I can think about right now.....................That's all I have to say on my blog today.

Hopefully i'm over it by tomorrow evening.

Another Day...Another Dollar

Not much to say today, yesterday flew by. Class was okay, I didn't do good on a project I submitted to weeks ago. But I knew when I turned it in it could've been better, luckily, she is giving us a second chance so I took it back home with me yesterday with plans to turn in a much better project next week. In addition to this, I have to create a website for this class.

I stopped by a friends house after class to watch the game, but it wasn't happening, we couldn't get it. Instead we just chewed the fat for a little while then I got a call that it was half time so I rolled out and headed home. By the time I got home they were in the 4th quarter, up by 3 points. I was at the edge of my bed praying they'd win, but my cuzin was killin' em (Lebron James), and what's up with Gooden's little hair piece in the back of his head...where they do that at? Can you say CORNY!

Oh yeah, I heard from they guy I met the morning after I started the blog, he called. I was waiting for him to say "why didn't you call me", but he didn't, he just asked me how was my holiday weekend....I was okay with that.

I feel bad because I haven't went to the gym yet this week and won't get there until tomorrow. I know I have a good excuse, but i'm thinking maybe i'll start shooting over here after class. That'll put me home late but at least I won't feel bad about eating.

I will start doing my blog in the evenings at the end of my day, I think that may be easier for me. We'll see........

Enjoy your day all!

My Weekend

So all in all, I had a marvelous Memorial Day Weekend. Plenty of BBQ and good company. Yesterday was a low impact cook-out. Went to a friends mom's house and enjoyed good conversation in addition to peaceful time, not the usually hustle and bustle of a cook out but plenty of laughter.......we didn't skip a beat.

After leaving there, I went home and got prepared for today. A homey of mine stopped by and we popped in Friday for old times sake. It was as funny as always....shortly after, I was calling Zzzzz's to see what there were up to.

I think I may start doing my blog at the end of the day, when I get to work, I can't seem to find the time in the mornings. We'll see.........

Super Sunday

Well....the last minute BBQ was a hit, although I couldn't go get my lil bro because he was 4.5 hours away, it was the perfect crowd with everyone getting along just fine. "M-Pooh" was on the grill burnin, music was pumpin, light drinks being tossed back and good food. Who could ask for more. There was quite a bit of ungrilled food left over, the boss lady was thinking about running it back.

I had a visitor come to the Q yesterday, he was only there shortly due to another engagement he needed to attend but the whole time he was there he would put himself in complete seclusion with me. Now i'm the affectionate type and love good conversation, but not at a BBQ. I don't expect for you to pull me to the side and try and keep me posted, at least not while people are still arriving, maybe a little later that would've been okay. He kept grabbing my hand too, I was a little stand offish with that. I love a sweet, affectionate and attentive man and I can tell he's all of those. While I can handle sweet and attentive at all times, the affection has to be worked into.

I hung out at "The Street" last night with my girlfriend "Clair". I use to be there with her every weekend but this was my first time there in some months. A lot of the same people were there in addition to some new. The had the game on so I watched the last 5 minutes of Detroit getting beat by my couzin in them....3 or 4 of my songs came on, I dropped it like it was hot and was out of there 1 1/2 hours later.

Today's mission, another BBQ

Later Gaters!

Surprises

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
