Hey lovely peoples … its Friday
- I got a ticket the craptacular state of Virginia. After waiting for 4 hours in court … I was told to come back the next day. Apparently after missing my first date, I was simplly at a motion to rehear … instead of actually another hearing. So I get to go in today to finally plea my case.
- I really just don’t like VA for a plethora of reasons … this just adds to the already long list.
- Job is starting to look up. One of my managers is starting to realize that I am attempting to take on a lot more responsibility and really further my career and now has started to give me words of wisdom and support. This is good.
- I am single again. I harbor no ill will towards my now ex … and those in the know … know who she is … but we’re good. Just came down to some deeply ingrained differences we couldn’t work through.
- I’m in a wedding this weekend. Should be … uh … fun. This is one time where I am actually happy for the groom and really glad he is marrying this girl … but even with that said … tuxedo was a grip … bachelor party was tonight … rehearsal is tomorrow … wedding is Saturday. Its gonna be a long weekend.
- I’m back to not sleeping again. *sigh*
- My coworker is now convinced I have seasonal depression. However, the thing is, I’m depressed all year long. So, what does she know? Lol. Honestly, I want a new car (even though I’ve only had mine for a year), and she is convinced I can’t commit to anyone or anything, supposedly a sign of depression. Furthermore, she says a pill is a cheaper cure than a new car. But damn that, I need more cylinders in my life.
That’s it for me … going to go prepare for court. Wish me luck
Now you …
RANT!
My rants..
– God is still good to me. I am really glad he looks out for me, cuz I can be a fool.
-I was having a stressful week. I missed one class and didn't go to work yesterday. I needed a mental health day.
– He got me being real soft right now and I don't like it. But we are friends, so I will fall back. Damn he caught me slipping.
-I still have so many resident interviews to do.
-Still missing my mommy and now my daddy even though I talk to him 3 times a day. Does anyone else talk to their father that much?
– I am thinking about going to Korea this summer.
-I am out of my funk and ready to get focused on the things I need to accomplish.
Thats it, I am about to go to bed. Good nite folks. Happy Friday and make it a great day!
Oh SBM, sorry to hear about you and your ex. Glad to know ya'll are cool still. Weddings, can definitely be exhausting. The last one I was in the entire wedding party got in a car accident with each other except for me and a couple of other cars. I am shocked you support the wedding…lol j/k
What the hell are you depressed about? You better start counting your blessings, that is what helped me get out of my funk.
@ sbm you are blessed and highly favored to be the young specimen of black excelence that u are. her loss is another womans gain. u have no reason 2 be depressed because u have so much gng 4 u.
relish in that.
my rants:
– stupid people piss me off
– God is really opening my eyes 2 see people for who they are.
– the economy is in a really bad way right now
– I need a new color 2 dye my hair..fall is here and I'm loving it. any suggestions?
– I'm kicking myself for spending 100 on a christian audigier hat that is now my saturday babrber shop hat, but I had 2 have one
– 90 days till christmas…which sucks.
ok I'm done have a blessed day
love ya!
Good Day everybody!
1. I've been up since 4:10 a.m. thinking (now I'm at work).
2. Why am I still not packed? Must be at the airport 2:30 ish… leaving work at 11:30.
3. Rainy crappy weather in Maryland and Virginia… there goes by beach dreams.
4. My neighbor got pushed down the stairs by some dude (her boyfriend, maybe).
5. Last night, when I got home from the beauty shop, I was asked by two shady individuals in a car, pulled up in my apartment complex, if I knew who "Lil C" was???
6. What the hell do I have living next door to me? The neighborhood is a nice one.
7. Chemistry test on Monday… 93% chance studying will not get done this weekend.
Good rants:
1. Got my hair chopped off even more last night. LOVES IT!
2. I won't be in Louisville/Jeffersonville this weekend!
3. I'm alive!
It may be a good thing that you keep having to go back and forth to court for your ticket. The "trick" I was told to beating a ticket is to request a court date and then request a continuance 10 days before your court date (or whatever your jurisdiction requires). The officer is less likely to show up to the subsequent court date and you're off scott free. But that's based on how they do things in Indy….
Man oh man do I know about depression….. and it's not enough to sit and think about why you shouldn't be depressed, because that just makes you more depressed because you rationally know you have nothing to be depressed about. If you get a minute look at my blog posts in the "mental health" category. Just know that you're not alone…. sometimes that in and of itself is helpful.
Ok, I shall rant briefly:
– My first solo asset acquisition deal DIED. I swear am the black widow of deals… every deal I worked on when I was at The Firm always fell apart (for reasons NOT related to my performance). But she's still getting charged for the work I did thus far….
– My main contract client STILL hasn't paid me from an invoice dating back to July. And it's for quite a bit of change.
– I have $100 to my name.
– I'm sick of sitting at home trying to get my legal hustle on because I'm "overqualified" for every other non-legal job, but nobody else will hire my cum laude JD having azz…. so next week I'm off to test voting machines at $13/hr. when this time last year I was making 6 figures. Go figure.
Damn that wasn't a good way to start off my morning…. I think I need to go re-read "The Alchemist". *sigh*
8. Being an adult is not much fun… can I request a do over and go back to kindergarten? (I miss nap times.)
LOL…man this is funny.
Oh well, my rants:
1. I attend a PWI and they still managed to f*ck up my money, what's the point in attending their school if they're just as bad with administrative duties.
2. I'm always tired, all I want to do is sleep. I eat and sleep. When I'm at work all I want to do is sleep. I skipped work yesterday and all I did was lay in bed, got up, left for 3 hours and came back home to sleep. Got up, got my daughter and after a few hours of TV had no problem going back to sleep. I'm up now and all I want to do is go back to sleep.
3. I have a job interview next week for another position at the college which pays considerably more. I hope I do well.
4. Oh, I'm single again…but if you ask me I've been single this entire time. Not sure if I should jump right back in there or take a moment to relax. I'm shooting for the latter but it's like the fellas all know and my phone won't stop ringing. I keep it on silent now.
5. I really don't feel like going to the School Board today, I'd rather be sitting in my office shooting the sh*t all day.
6. My daughter is so smart, and as much as I want to take credit I can't. I've been a piss poor mother lately, but I have so much on my plate that it's hard finding time to parent except on the weekends.
7. Oh yeah, I'm broke…well kinda, but broke enough to feel broke. These are the moments when I want to revert to my old ways and date wealthy men.
@SBM: cheer up mister, like Akua said, "her loss is another womans gain. u have no reason 2 be depressed because u have so much gng 4 u.
relish in that."
…yeah relish in that mister.
Lol…ok i'll stop.
9. There should be a pill for procrastination. I don't know where I picked up this inconveniencing trait.
Good luck on the ticket. I got one in VA too two weeks ago. Alexandria. I was speeding like a m'fer. But the guy in front of me was going WAY faster and the cars infront of him. I can usually talk myself out of tickets. But not this one. The cop was like "ma'am I know that guy WAS indded going faster. But I need seperation. I could have stopped you and 4 other cars". Well I put on my deer lost in the headlight eyes. And he reduced the speed i was actually doing (i think I was 20 miles over). LOL-so i wouldn't have to go to court which in va is mandtatory over a certain limit. But Im thinking i should so i won't get the points. Im not sure.
On to my gratirants…..
1. yeah Im alive too (following Nicki Sunshine) for real that is like a blessing in and of itself. The body is some kinda amazing. I think we take stuff like that for granted everyday. Thank you God.
2. Im not even packed for NM. I leave Sunday night. Hell come to think of it, it could be Monday morning. If i could find the reservation number I would know. I aint even packed. packed my fish up, finished my presentation. But I love NM. its a very spiritual and mystical place.
3. All fish go to heavan. Chacka Comeback died two days ago. Am i really cut out to be a fish mama? Yes I am. And Yes I can!!!
4. Another text snuck through last night from this guy (actually a platonic "friend" i've been "dissin" not on purpose he just calls at all the wrong times. the text reads: " i heard dat u got robbed & the robber said give me ur purse or eat my shit. Im glad to hear dat you kept your purse." WTF??? that is NOT nice.
5. so i decided to go out wit dude. But i need to be back by 9:45pm tonite. Where can we go for 45 mins LOL!!!
6. I was telling someone yesterday that I LOVE coming here. I really feel in a strange way that we all have a weird connection-even when a select few end up under the same bus, smashed by the same tire. Sometimes i believe you have to teach people how to at least TRY and be nice.
7. All of you in some way or notha inspire me everyday. And ***pulls True in*** "its a beautiful day in the neighborhood, a beautiful day in the neighborhood, would you be mine could you be mine. Won't you be my neighbor….dammit." LOL
i can't play too much wit yall today. but smootches.
con'td..wouldn't it be funny as hell if only Obama shows up for the damn debate. And its aired.???!!!!
@ Anesidora God is Good and he WILL make a way. Things like this happen for a reason. You will prolly end up not only making way more, but bringing in more satisfying work than you would have under somebody else's shackle. Name it and claim it. amen.
same goes for everybody …here.
@Akua: Trust and believe … the depression comment was in no way related to the single comment. It actually was an inside joke … and I went and updated that rant so there was no more confusion.
@Amen Comeback: I'm praying for you Anesidora.
And blessings to you also, Comeback. 🙂
Did anyone see this vid of Flex going off about R.Kellys' interview?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFcEjIPlfwU
A lil rant:
1. A friend of mines friends boyfriend keeps hitting me up on fb and now he has resorted to texting me as well. I dont know why when Mr. Memory Foam is his frat brother. Is this some kind of post pledging process? WTF? I dont wanna tell the chick cause I keep ignoring his as and I dont know her that well and you know how females get about their men
2. i was sitting in my car yesterday in DC and some nagga tried to boot my car while i was in it! I must check on that today and see why. I havent received any tickets? But I do run a few red lights.
What I am grateful for:
1. I am grateful that the Lord has a fence around me. Protecting me.
2. Grateful that I have a job, home, car and all the things people do not cherish until they do not have them anymore.
3. I am grateful that I am still standing on his word and my faith that strengthens me.
4. I am grateful that I AM FLY as hell and men still wanna holler even though I am not ready for a MAN at this point in my life.
5. I am grateful for my friends who although they work my nerves will be there for me no matter what.
6. I AM GRATEFUL FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!!
@SBM: you have no reason to feel depressed. stop speaking all the negativity into existence. If you go into something assuming you will be defeated you WILL BE. BE DAVID and knock down them GIANTS!
just looked it up. I have 340.00 worth of tickets! 3 of the tickets are from 2006 and one is from this year! SHAT! I guess I will be parking my car in a garage. 🙂
@comeback that would be the bomb. mccain thinks he's one upping obama by saying I'm stopping all campaigning..he's full of dog shi*
rants cont'd:
I need to breath..better yet exhale.
ok wait I just said the bomb? that's as bad as hot chic…lol
Good day people! My first SBM Friday rant…
-I'm fighting off a cold or something I probably picked up from one of these little outbreak monkeys at school. ugh…throat all scratchy and ish.
-There is NO GAS in Atlanta, and people are really acting like fools at the stations. I'm so over it…I hope my 1/2 tank holds out until the madness dies down.
-My entire body is stiff and sore from these wretched spinning classes I'm taking…but I'm in holiday prevention mode; can't gain any weight this winter.
Positive note:
-I'm sooooo happy it's Friday!!!! Woooo!!!!
-I probably have the coolest hair this side of the Mississippi.It's been on its best behavior lately.
-Thank God for the Fall! Heat and humidity is for the birds.
Make this weekend great folks!
why complain about not sleeping? I have 2 full time jobs, run a boyscout troop and a editorial for a magazine, life weights 8 times a week (still) and still have time to date the women I am seeing…
SLEEP IS OVERRATED!!!!
the better health you are in the more effective sleep will be. when I was fat I needed 10 hours of sleep and still felt slugish. I sleep 2 hours at night and 1 hour during the day now and I feel spree! get dat az in da gym nicca!!!
my rants.
women in my life are fukin BEAUTIFUL. it almost feels like when it rains it pours, fate had me endure bad women for an entire year and then dumps wonderful women on me all at the same time. and I really cant complain about any of them. each of them must be good for me… because my mother dosent like ANY of them.
my father has cancer, Im not sure how to feel about that.
Im single and have no kids and am about to have no job soon… my family wants me to drop my life here and move with my father to take care of him and learn his business. but im not interested.
I work a job that pays me fantastic money but the more I work here the more I feel morally wrong. we found out yesterday that one of our co workers got out of work at 5, drove down rt 1, pulled over and jumped off the overpass. people arent taking losing their jobs lightly.
@ better: spinning class kicked my butt. I couldn't keep up! but ur rite keeping the weight off during the winter is a must!! since its getting too cold to walk my 2 miles outside..ill revert to maybe yoga or pilates.
"@Comeback: I got a 92.5 on that paper I did on the fly last week and although u want no credit for it i’m giving u some for restabilizing my thoughts"
i was wondering how you did…that would have been messed the fyck up if you hadda failed. But dam#n you wrote that fast as hell. That deserves an A right there.
@SBM
" I want a new car (only had mine for a year) and she is convinced I can’t commit to anyone or anything … supposedly a sign of depression. She says a pill is a cheaper cure than a new car … but damn that … I need more cylinders in my life."
I dont know how anybody drives a car with less than 8 cylinders. I haven't owned a car that wasn't a V8 in over 10 years. My Grand National is a V6 but I don't count that because it is turbocharged.
"my father has cancer, Im not sure how to feel about that."
@ HNIC…my mother did too and one of the worst kinds. You gotta stay positive no matter what. almost 3 years later and free of it, she's still driving me nutty.
10. Okay, I'm sneezing and congested. DAMMIT I don't need this today!
My rant:
1. Its raining and my hair is straight= big frizz ball by the end of the day.
2. I'm tired of shaking and schmoozing at the Congressional Black Caucus…and I truly don't want to attend the dinner or gala tomorrow night..but my dress is FIYAH so that is a plus!
3. Looking forward to my Orlando trip, but I hate taking business trips w/o having a travel partner!
4. I think that I've made one too many peach cobblers these past few weeks…my pants feel tighter today..lol!
@SBM – I luv NoVA, but the cops here love their job with a passion, lol. Nonetheless good luck!
My rants:
– Now that it's starting to get cold, I'm gonna hit the gym; I think I will set small goals so I won't be too hard on myself this time around
– In school/organizations I loved working in teams, in Corporate America – not so much *blech*
– I think Home Depot is becoming my 2nd home – that can't be a good thing
@fungke – I was invited to the CBC's event tonight at Love – not sure if I wanna go either, but I guess I should rep for my VI peeps *sigh*
Happy Friday everyone!!!!
@(fŭng'kē) [blak] [chik]
"I think that I’ve made one too many peach cobblers these past few weeks…my pants feel tighter today..lol!"
You made cobbler and didn't offer any to the blog? You know there are bachelors on here that don't get too many home cooked meals.
@ hnic my dad just finished his second round of chemo and my mom is a survivor going on 14 years. prayer patience and perserverance will pay off during this time. ill keep ur family in my prayers.
How many people are attending the CBC gala tomorrow? I AM!
Wow. I see a lot of people need prayers and you can certainly have mine and please remember to pray for me. Man…I probably could rant more but I'm not…
-My hours @ work increased last night.
-There are five positions opening up in that office and well…I want one.
-Almost time for me to see Kam. I miss my little baby.
-Just saw my Mama two weeks ago and I'm about to see her again.
-I am quite happy now.
-2400 mg of Advil every day's alot but I'll just eat all healthy and take my little Advil!
It's Frrrriiiiiday!
For the record, I'm not fat, and sleeping is my favorite.
(*felt like that needed to be said!) 🙂
I think I want to become a CO(corrections officer)….I need a little hair pulling ruff neck in my life. Either that or one of those fine specimens who does the booking.
I'm starting to think that my mind is always on the next man…even when I'm not quite over the last. I obviously have committment issues…well at least this time there was no ring to give back
I think I will look into that again(took the test 2 years ago) today…there will always be people going to jail rough economy or not..
Nicki-I am on the larger side AND everyone I know always comments on how I never sleep…I try and this weekend all the meds will help but there's no sleeping all the time in my world.
@Jac: So sleeping really has nothing to do with your weight… that's what I'm getting from the both of us.
Hi folks!
Rants…
1. I close on my house on Oct 16th two days after My birthday woooohooo
2. Me and my roommates are getting along
3. I still have a job even when I take excessive mental health days thank God.
4. The debt snowball is looking a lil shawt due to some cut backs on my hours at job 2 buts its still been a blessed year. Paying off $13,000 of debt in one year among doing a host of other things without bouncing a check, getting or getting a loan or over drawing my bank account. Yes I am blessed.
Can't wait til 2009 debt freedom here I FREAKIN COME!
sorry for the typo its friday!
@ Humble_One – I just got the Iphone (who I've named Cindy Lou) for my birthday and it's AMAZING. It's like an Ipod, phone, laptop, gps system, flashlight (YES, that IS one of the applications), Nintendo Wii all in one.
Be careful though you will become VERY addicted. My mom took it away from me last week when I took her out to dinner cause I was so engrossed. My response, "how you gonna take a grown woman's Iphone?!?" Hers "I bought it for you didn't I?"
Ok, I digressed. Get the Iphone. You won't regret it.
CONGRATULATIONS Mikki…I'm so proud of you gurl!!!
Jac and Nicki: sleep is overrated…i'll trade some of my sleep hours for your awake ones. I've even started ditching class just to go home and sleep after doing nothing all day at work. wtf?!?!?
I think my spirit is tired and my body is reacting…but my mind won't slow down so my body shuts down instead…it's the craziest thing I tell ya. I have to find a mental balance in my life before I break.
mornting
I can't post on my blog from work now…they blocked it…so those of you (like the one person who reads it lol) that left a post there or asked a question, I have to wait till I get home to answer
sorry folks
@SBM: Phrat you got some serious stuff going on, you gotta handle that. Go to the strip club, that'll make you happy.
Me:
1.) Work is a pain in my arse
2.) My Flag Football team (coed league for professionals) looks like its gonna suck
3.) Wanna go home to Jerz to see the fam
-JM
MrSwagger.com
@Teacia: I wish we could trade. I don't know why I sleep so much… I could blame it on school, but even when I was on summer va-cay, I slept. LOL.
It's like everytime I sit in front of the tv or pop in a movie or try to read a book, it's my lullaby… and before I know it, I'm waking up!
My rants:
1. Why does my boyfriend think that I don't trust him just because I'm asking to see a written copy of his STD test? Is it not my RIGHT as a person engaging in the act with him to see written evidence that he's cool? And before you ask NO, I don't think he's cheating but it's too much out here for me to just be all willy nilly with someone and not know.
2. I'm the only person from my group here today, besides the secretaries.
3. They're closing a major highway I need to use at lunch to get my mom's b-day gift. Now what is I'ms gonna do?
My blessings (in no particular order)
1. My cat. He's the most handsome cuddler in the world. He really has such a sweet soul and I don't care if people call me the cat lady. I love my baby.
2. Cindy Lou. The best phone a girl could have!
3. My mom. She's my best friend, my strength, and my inspiration.
4. I got a 98 on my midterm – Heyyyyy boooo!!!
5. My boyfriend. Even though he gets on my last nerve sometimes he's still a great guy with a good heart.
That's it. Have a great weekend everyone!
@Daisy: Honey, you are so responsible for asking for a written copy of the STD test. Ask away, honey. More of us need to do that.
For a gift. Flowers… order online and have them sent. Hows that?
I have something I'm grateful for! But I can't really say what it is outloud. So just now I was happy to have it yesterday evening it brightened up my whole night.
Daisy:You're entitled and important and I'm sure he'll show you.
Thank you Teacia girlfriend!
I just got an email from the Rev saying she wants to get together to work out the details on the Financial Peace class next week. She also made it clear that she wants me to get paid for my time and services yes sirrrr(in my ripham voice).
Man can 09 hurry up n come!
Good Morning Folks.
Thought I need to put this PSA out there:
(ahem) Rant – means to speak or shout at length in a wild, impassioned way. It can also be a noun. In blogs, a rant is a written personal complaint.
Thank you.
I have no rants today.
I'm going to Atlantic City this weekend – never been.
One of my friends is tryna hook me up with his white friend that only dates black women. I don't want to be any one's social experiment. I think people that exclude races (esp. their own) are wack.
@ SBM: let me know when you want that hook-up.
LOL @ Jaclynn…"some gala freak some gala freak of da week."
"One of my friends is tryna hook me up with his white friend that only dates black women. I don’t want to be any one’s social experiment. I think people that exclude races (esp. their own) are wack"
I agree
speakin of white friends, My friend p who is white wants to take me to dinner, I am helping him purchase a home, why this foo ask me did i like chicken??? see this is exactly why i just can't do it!!
@Humble: get the iPhone. What's "warehouse syndrome"? Is is the same as cabin fever?
@Nicki: I'm a sleepy-head too. All year round.
Rants of greatness:
What are they feeding these girls here in Atlanta? These women have bodies I can't believe. I went to a certain "city of magic" lol. They treated a brother real nicelike.
What's poppin here in atl? Clubs eats etc. Lemme know
Only thing is that you guys don't have gas down here, which trips me out.
Why do all Americans have to pay for everyone else greed? 700 billion buys 2.3 million college educations. Somebody got rich off robbing the hardworking people of this country. Someone stole.
Despite all the financial shit going down, as long as you're breathing, you have a great chance to enjoy life. Some things aren't quite in our power to change. We can only prepare ourselves as best as possible, but any extra worry isn't gonna do anything.
@Mik: Congrtas on your class AND getting paid for it. That is a blessing!
Crackin up at Whyso… I've heard that about those Atlanta women.
I love this blog as it gives me that Friday outlet:
Friday Rants:
– WHY are there so many people in downtown Chicago today/? What is it about Fridays thats make downtown a damn people magnet? Getting off the Metra this morning? AIR couldn't even breathe is was so damn crowded.
– I get paid today! (not so much a rant as a cheer of glee)
– We've been WAY too busy here at work lately. I like that 30 min between 4:30 and 5:00 to be for winding DOWN, not frantically rushing so I don't have to take a later train. Shut UP, Corporate America.
– I need a drink. I probably need to hit up Mr. and Mrs. Vodka.
– WHY am I always the FRIEND? (that ain't no Friday rant, that's a daily one)
– Too blessed to be really stressed because I'm 24 years old and I OWN a place. It was a long hard road to get there (seriously, I had THEE weirdest process toward closing EVAH) but I made it. And it feels great! No kids, I'm single…I need SOMETHING (of significance) to write off. Handle THAT, Uncle Sam.
– God is indeed, all kinds of great.
Friday is magic!
"why this foo ask me did i like chicken??? see this is exactly why i just can’t do it!!"
@Comeback: HA!
@ SBM – Good luck with the ticket, hopefully the officer won't show up.
@ Mikki – CONGRATS on your new home!!!
Rants and Blessings (I'll mix it together because that's how they come in life):
1) Gotta give God props before I get into my rants. I love Him and He loves me :-).
2) Job pressure is a mother. Sometimes I think life would be easier if I could go back to working retail.
3) I am almost free of credit card debt. PRAISE THE LORD SAINTS!!!
4) I just really really hate my job, lol.
Oh yea and Nicki I got that cd player for my car! I got an mp3 player too, I had the ipod at first but me and apples wasn't getting along to well, so now i have some off brand something that takes good ole fashion batteries and it works just fine. I'm bumpin Nina Sky "Curtain call" Thats my Jizzam right nah!
Oh yes and I need a count for all the celibacy club members I think its time to make this club official and start a 501 C 3 or something, we are serious!!
Cheeke Congrats on your house yo! I tell you buying your first aint no joke, I had to jump through all types of hoops n loops but its all worth it in the end to say you got your piece of the pie.
Remember folks who want to buy a house 15 year fixed 25% of take home pay!
@Daisy & Cuzzo – I am really leaning towards the iPhone. I have been with nextel damn near 10 years. Right now they have no phone I am interested in.
@Teacia
"…”some gala freak some gala freak of da week.”"
What you know about lil vicious.
@ Why SO… "What’s poppin here in atl? Clubs eats etc. Lemme know"
I don't do clubs, but I am the ATL restaurant queen. What's your budget looking like? You want high end, you want sports bar, you want social scene, live music?? Let me know! I shall be thine guide.
Oh and special thanks to my friend Brad he just created the bomb diggity RSS feed design for my site! He so rocks!!
http://anitrasplace.net/
@Britt: You are not the only one that hates her job… well not the job… more so the boss…. and maybe I shouldn't say hate, but he can be the BIGGEST JERK.
Unfortunately, I looked online for a career in my major. Can we say $8.50 and $10.75/hour? Who the heck can pay bills on that? One even said, with your degree, $10.75/hour? Seriously, so I'm accumulating all this debt by going to college only to graduate and not be making what I made INITIALLY…
Argggh. I have a lot of rants today (but no black cloud, promise) 🙂
@Comeback et al.: Have you seen Alicia Key's video for "Superwoman"? I was pondering why she didn't have any white women in there? Her mom is white. Her mom stays by her side. And her mom struggled just like some of the women in the video. I think the vid was a little one-dimensional coming from someone who was raised by a white woman.
@Mik" Congrats! Ay bay bay (my hood coming out) if you had problems with the ipod, you should've contacted me, I'm a complete nerd. If I don't know the answer, I won't stop until I find it. LOL.
I'm glad you got that together though. No more "deez nuts!"
I think we need to make the celibacy club official. What is our motto, or our symbol????
@Cuzzo: About the Alica Keys thing… I wonder if it has something to do with her "market"…. you know how that whole music thang and all the red tape can be.
@Why so: welcome back my man…the A' is POPPIN this weekend. It's the Atlantic Classic, FAMU vs. Tennessee State…so it's hella stuff to do. I would say hit up Bree for the haps but she's being held captive all weekend.
Just turn on the radio, I'm sure you'll find plenty. But tomorrow night is The Loft(official afterparty), lots of Fam alumni will be there but it is guaranteed fun. Also tonight there's a Crown Royal event, but you have to RSVP for the guestlist, and only the guestlist will be allowed in. The website is:
http://www.uptownlife.net/royalaffair
Have fun mister…oh and be sure to hit up Strokers…if you thought Magic City was hot you ain't seen nothing yet!!
lmao Nicki girl I wish I woulda known! I was so frustrated ah well next time i get a gadget I will call ya!
as far as the club… hmmm
" if you can't beat it eat it!!" sike nawl that dont work help me think of something!
@Cuzzo
"What’s “warehouse syndrome”? Is is the same as cabin fever?"
Warehouse syndrome is when you don't get out much and (for men) women that you usually would not deal with start to look appealing to you. Its called warehouse syndrome because typically this happens in a warehouse or any type of job or school setting. What happens is that you don't go anywhere but school and work and you dont have a woman, friend with benefits, or jumpoff so the woman with no a*s and a horrible face at work or school starts to look appealing.
@Nicki: If the video were speaking to a younger crowd, I would agree. But, this vid is for grown folks. Maybe she coulda hugged her mom in the end or something.
@Mikki: yes, ma'am. hit me up.
LOL. That is not the right motto! LOL. That is endorsing oral.
How about stick figures in the "act" with a circle and a line through it for the symbol? LOL
oh lawd I think I got it!!!
humble please tell me there is a cure for this!!
@Cuzzo: I agree… you always have to pay respects to Mama…. I feel really strongly about that one.
@Why so: And you have to buy your tickets in advance for The Loft, you can get them at: http://www.digitalguestlist.com
Humble: your definition of wharehouse syndrome is killing me. You need to put that on wikipedia.
lmao Nicki ok and whats the motto for these stick figures ? "no banging allowed" hahaha
oh this can go on all day…
@Mik: Just say no to bangs. LOL
@Why So Serious?
"What are they feeding these girls here in Atlanta? These women have bodies I can’t believe. "
I am still trying to figure that out. Atl was the first place I saw a woman with a 28in waist, 44in hips, and a six pack stomach. I need to go back to Atl.
morning all
I have a just a few rants
-I had a girls nite out party two weekends ago and im still finding ish around my house from the party. The stripper left his sweaty ass t-shirt, i think it fell behind the dresser though.
-I like my job but hate my co worker, if she would just shut the hell up for 1 day I would be good.
-I have come to the realization that there are no good me in indianapolis…i think i need to move
-why is it that every time I fix one thing in my house, something else breaks.is this what happens when you buy your first house.damn it
– im a good lookin single black womna,own my own house AND car, have two jobs and I cant find a man. Somebody help me out here!
*goes back to sulking*
lmao ok Nicki and you can click on the symbol and it plays the bill clinton audio " I did not have sexual relations"
have yall ever heard that? when you download a bad song and it plays bills voice with an advertisement?
@Humble: Oh.
"WHY am I always the FRIEND?"
@Cheekie: That's not necc a bad thing. One of my cousins and I were talking about this last night. She's a little older than me (29) and she advised me that a man operates differently when it comes to marriage. They often look to their friends, someone who has always been there. So, hang in there and be a good friend – they may begin to look at you in a diff light when they are ready to settle down.
(I'm not saying this applies to all men)
'Well" all's fair in life and trials. I know this is another topic but I actually wonder what single men think about while attending weddings?.. I would love to know what goes on in the minds of those single men when they see the beau doing the Darn thing.
ok im skimming all around town today..but i caught something about a bed.
I LOVE SLEEPIN. ACTUALLY I LOVE MY BED. I take power naps like a mutha. And if I could conduct all my business from my pillow top I sho nuff would. Im not sure about the whole weight thing and sleep. I thought more rest helped you matabolize fat better, not sure. for the peeps that have trouble sleepin' drop some feng shui on that mattress, maybe take and if you can (sit in some sun)…sometimes people leave their energy in your mattress that causes you not to sleep at night. Or if you can buy a new one.
"good lookin single black woman,own my own house AND car, have two jobs and I cant find a man"
sounds like a craigs list ad.
"I think we need to make the celibacy club official. What is our motto, or our symbol????"
@ Nick..i think it should be a torch for some of yall ( a forever burning flame). Is anybody's @zz actually TRYNA get out dat bytch. Imma tell yall rat nah. Im a member, but not for long dammit. I already claimed it like I been tellin yall. I feel like this is prison. I want to go to the part of the jail, where people lookin foward to gettin out and shyt.
lmao comeback trust and believe I don't want to be in the club but I feel like if im gonna be here might as well make somethin of it!!! you know like they get degrees n jail and become bean pie sellers.
@Mikki – the only known cure for warehouse syndrome is going out. Depending on how bad you have it it usually takes 1-3 weekends of going out to cure. You can also treat and cure it by consistantly surrounding yourself by men or women (depending on gender) that you find attractive for a brief period of time.
oh yea. that's what I forgot to mention.
@SBM: weddings are great places to meet women. just don't be yourself and maybe you'll have a chance. (I crack myself so up)
@Comeback: You WILL NEVER have me laughing like that. I promise your behind is hilarious!
I'm trying to get out….. once, I find a good man.
@Mik: Ma'am. I have never heard that one! LOL, but yes, that needs to be the soundbyte.
@fimi-me: I'd love to know the answer to that too.
sorry for all the typos… not actually suppose to be on the internet at work. lol but who really cares.
@ mikki- lol, i know. its soo cold in the Nap
@Mik: "you know like they get degrees n jail and become bean pie sellers."
U are going to hell for that… LOL
weddings suck.
and no, they arent a good place to meet women.
"You can also treat and cure it by consistantly surrounding yourself by men or women (depending on gender) that you find attractive for a brief period of time."
@Humble: hmmm, that sounds like a cure for something else too – celibacy.
"im a good lookin single black womna,own my own house AND car, have two jobs and I cant find a man."
@Indiana: what does any of that have to do with the latter? If a dude said that you might be like annndddd…..
You can have all of that and thensome and have a reject personality (not saying that's you, just saying)
Do you meet people and it just doesn't work out? Do you have high expectaions for a relationship? High standards? I think there is a lot more to be said for reasons one is single.
I'm leaving now guys… gotta go pack. Have a fab weekend everybody! 🙂
@ comeback & nicki: I've turned to retail therapy in place of hot se* until I can get some!!
Ok Humble well I think im slightly in denial about this. There is this guy at work who walks past my desk everyday about 10 times a day for whatever and I been eying him I KNOW he isn't that fine but my "warehouse" is telling me he is. Also my horoscope said that some one i have been having a crush on will start to take notice, if its talkin about this guy then that would be a recipe for disaster considering it was the warehouse that drew me to him in the first place…….
better than: just looking for something to eat and possibly mingle at. I do have my Bruce Waynish outta town persona on.
Teacia: Id go but I'm leaving tomorrow morning. I foind a salsa club and ill listen to the radio for crunkness. Strokers sounds fun. I couldn't live down here, I'd get broke quick lol.
@Cuzzo
"hmmm, that sounds like a cure for something else too – celibacy."
You are right it will cure it. But I don't want that cured yet. I do know when it is cured that woman is going to get it.
@Why So: you should definitely do the Crown Royal event then, it starts early and ends early enough. Have fun, get to Strokers if you can, you won't regret it.
@Comeback: THAT'S IT!!! I started sleeping like this 2-3 weeks ago which was right when I changed my bed to face the NorthWest corner(which also faces my door). I wasn't sleeping all that well with the wall it was on before but now I can't seem to get out of my bed. You think that has something to do with it…well that and the new sheets I bought.
@whyso-Damned..ATL got under your skin something fierce! Why didn't holla at my girl Bree and wish her a happy b'day the right way?
@Teacia-It was nothing freaky about it. I was actually at work when it went down…it was more…uhm interesting but yeh it brightened up my night.
@Mikki-RESIST.
@Comeback-Get it, get it…I say get it in where it fits in 🙂
@cuzzo
its the quality of men here. I have a great personality and am quite funny, or so i have been told. Would I be wrong to have standards and expectations. I dont want somebody thats gonna lay on my couch and eat all my food (again)…
maybe I have warehouse syndrome
lmao at everybody catchin warehouse
Indiana No its not wrong to have standards, I think it just going to take a little longer to find the right person HOWEVER there should be a disclaimer in there someplace about whats a standard and whats plain ole picky. Like me and my No braids rule, or no nerdy glasses rule, and no big heads or big ears…..
ok im stopping because this list can get long
"I do know when it is cured that woman is going to get it."
@Humble: alright now – don't go throwing around statements like that. remember there are ppl that want you OFF the celibacy club train. On that note: remember in "There's Something About Mary" when Ben Stiller was told to m@sterb@te before going out with her, does that really help? You think you'll need to let one go before you give it to her?
@ Jac
But But……..
@Mikki –
"There is this guy at work who walks past my desk everyday about 10 times a day for whatever and I been eying him I KNOW he isn’t that fine but my “warehouse” is telling me he is. Also my horoscope said that some one i have been having a crush on will start to take notice, if its talkin about this guy then that would be a recipe for disaster considering it was the warehouse that drew me to him in the first place……."
Have you been getting out lately? Do you interact with other men outside of work? Would you talk to this guy outside of work?
@Cuzzo-I think that whomever Humble has sex with might have to visit the ER…
I'm just sayin…
@mikki my only pet peeve when it comes to dating is that you have a profession/career- not a job, excellent hygiene, and must be an extrovert… is that asking too much.
@ humble- im cosigning with cuzzo. it would be advised to let one go before you scare the poor woman
"and no big heads or big ears"
lol@Mikki
no will smith? or no big head AND big ears at the same time? lol.
nothing wrong with being anti-braids. A grown man should not be rocking that look.
"Have you been getting out lately? Do you interact with other men outside of work? Would you talk to this guy outside of work?"
Hum the problem is she's not meeting black professional men. I don't understand WHY you, Why So, Hum, No More, Lion, Tiger, Bear, and puppy dog tails don't help her. Yall know she's a cute woman. She's workin, building businesses and shyt.
don't any of yall have a single friend in the D. Yall making it sound like its just Kwame's runnin amuck up and through.
@Indiana Jones – You don't have Warehouse Syndrome If you did you wouldn't have any standards or your standards would drop greatly.
"she’s a cute woman"
cute is for kids…she's a PRETTY woman.
MY RANTS!!! ( and boy o boy do i have some)
So the grammy is still in the hospital and now my grandfather,her husband is in the hospital too, i swear they are love brids, they've been married 50+ years, that's something to be grateful for and something i hope to achieve myself.
i did get the job i wanted, that means i wont be on here to much you know got that probationary period to worry about. i'll miss sbm.net *tear tear*
i'm single,celibate, sexually fustrated, but getting over it.
i decided inspite of the gloomy weather i'm going to be happy today, my therapist told me so.
TGIF. Keep me in prayers, i know i keep you guys in mine. <3
@Cuzzo
"alright now – don’t go throwing around statements like that. remember there are ppl that want you OFF the celibacy club train. On that note: remember in “There’s Something About Mary” when Ben Stiller was told to m@sterb@te before going out with her, does that really help? You think you’ll need to let one go before you give it to her?"
I am not throwing statements just speaking the truth. And yes I will probably have to let one off. But the next one wont come for a long time.
Fast food is the devil!
That is all.
Hmmm…warehouse syndrome…I'm trying to think if I got it…NAH
Comeback-I can't wait til it rains again..I been thinking about that little saying from yesterday. I still can't believe you said drop it like it's hot on that rod in the rain.
@humble- maybe i just might have to move to a place that would meet my standards, so i wont get warehouse syndrome
oh and happy belated to bree. Sending my best wishes
Also I usually prefer a man not to let one off before hand…I like the full range experience! Something quick-something long and strong…oooh yeah
comeback you know everyones favorite line for me around here "he's just not at into me"
Im starting to think I suck and not in a good way lol. Thank God for money, if i didn't have that Id be jumpin off a cliff right nah
"I think that whomever Humble has sex with might have to visit the ER…"
lol @ Jac – yes indeed. it will be written in medical history – detroit male's ejacultion suffocates female. it seems as though it leaked out of every pore in her body…there was so much. we've never seen anything like it. my stars. etc etc
@Comeback – I have single friends but I would not introduce her to them. Them dudes aint doin nothin. The ones that are professional have girlfriends or fiance's.
@Indiana Jones
"it would be advised to let one go before you scare the poor woman"
You have been watching too much scary movie.
@Cuzzo –
"lol @ Jac – yes indeed. it will be written in medical history – detroit male’s ejacultion suffocates female. it seems as though it leaked out of every pore in her body…there was so much. we’ve never seen anything like it. my stars. etc etc"
Why did you make me laugh out loud at work? You're silly as hell.
"Something quick-something long and strong"
@Jac: you ain't never lied! what. u're washing dishes or somthing and dude just ransacks you all crazy like…let's one off…then ure back to doing whatever it is you were doing before (or u get mad cuz now u want more). that's that caveman sex.
one more rant-
ok so they just handed out paychecks and why is it that there is never enough. You work overtime for the extra money and uncle sam comes along and takes it to give to people who already have money (AIG and WaMu). so depressing, lol
…oh, sorry for the visual CC members….
@Humble: "woooo! might make ya head blow off" like grandma clump would say.
@cuzzo lmao, u r 2 funny
@Cuzzo & Jac
"you ain’t never lied! what. u’re washing dishes or somthing and dude just ransacks you all crazy like…let’s one off…then ure back to doing whatever it is you were doing before"
Damn I miss doing that. I think I will withdraw from this convo.
@Cuzzo
"woooo! might make ya head blow off” like grandma clump "
Funny. You are going to make people ask why I am cheesing so hard.
Cuzzo: You are too damned funny. I also believe that Humble is so endowed that he might bust some serious backs.
🙂
good. I'm always glad to bring smiles to people's faces
@Jac: hmmm, what makes u think that? he send u a pic?
"comeback you know everyones favorite line for me around here “he’s just not at into me”
Im starting to think I suck and not in a good way lol. Thank God for money, if i didn’t have that Id be jumpin off a cliff right nah"
you dam@n celibacy members are gonna make me torch this club house. Why the he@ll can't people be positive. "without a vision the people parish" thats in the bible.
***Celibacy Club Warden..over here..yeah..can you put me far far far away from these people. yeah stick me in a hole. Yeah. All I need is a Harry Potter Book, some loose leaf paper, a precise pilot pen and an espresso machine…oh yeah and some half and half…just get me out of here NOW***
Humble: I know it's fabulous right.
Cuzzo:There's just something that I can't quite put my finger on…needs more…maybe a mouth..
Did I just say that outloud?
All I need is a Harry Potter Book, some loose leaf paper, a precise pilot pen and an espresso machine…oh yeah and some half and half…just get me out of here NOW***
Comeback may the force be with you
oh wait thats not harry potter thats starwars or something
@Jac: darn it! I can't even condemn you for that statement cuz I'm out the club. ah well.
Cuzzo: I can't help it. Something about a good guy…with a little bad on the inside…It's like my kryptonite. And well…Humble's got such a big….personality I just can't help myself.
@Mikki – comeback wants "the precious"
My rants or riffs
1) On tuesday I caught the bug that has been floating around the office since friday. I hate being sick. I haven’t been to the gym all week.
2) I am really considering getting an iPhone. Especially when I found out I get a discount.
3) I think being celibate has given me a slight case of warehouse syndrome.
4) If the feds give the corporate pigs 700 billion with no strings attached I will lose it.
5) I am still tired of Obama t-shirts
6) I thank my mom for making that herbal tea for me. It made feel better.
7) Footlocker has their F&F sale this weekend. Hopefully they have nothing that I want.
8) I am not looking forward to spending this money on my house. But I have to do it.
9) Why is it that the last few times I have been out I have seen an overabundance of women built how I like.
NOT MY PRECIOUS!!!!!
(has no clue what it means just thought id yell it out anyways)
@SBM: awww man u can’t take a joke homie…lol.
McCain is an idiot…but Sarah Palin is an even bigger idiot. Did anyone see her Katie Couric interview…man ol man I just feel sorry for her everytime she speaks. I mean she flunked out of college four times…how could they possibly think she was going to survive this.
@Comeback: I got a 92.5 on that paper I did on the fly last week and although u want no credit for it i’m giving u some for restabilizing my thoughts.
If only I spent more time on my schoolwork I could probably graduate top of my class. *sigh* If only I cared.
@Cuzzo & Mikki – Lord of the Rings? Smigel?
@Mikki: um, dear…it was a reference to Lord of the Rings…
i'm off to lunch…need to buy hair stuff n new bathroom rugs
🙂 I am thinking about a sink interlude…Comeback HOW DO I MEASURE?
Fool of a Took! Throw yourself in next time, and rid us of your stupidity!”
"Comeback HOW DO I MEASURE"
INSEAM….
from the underside of the crot$ch to the bottom side of the ankle or go to any fine dept store near you.
…then take that measurement. Go to your sink…measure..
visually…(add a phone book or two where necessary).
—–
if inseam point and sink are way off (negatively), find a suitable sink or man.
this is copyrighted..and will be in my comeback tantric se@x manual..please work cite me.
LOL @ Mikki!!! The Lord of the Rings one had me dying for no reason…maybe it was the randomness of it all.
Thank you Mama Comeback…I'm going to have to do this…have you gotten your sink ready yet? Mine's kinda short which means I think he should be about 5'9…hmmm any men about that height here on the blog?
oh yeah and the man cant be all yippy skippy about your measuring. He should (whispers in Jac's ear) be slightly reluctant yet intrigued.
no happy dam@n pressed boy scouts..eagar beavers. None of that.
Rants twist and then I'm out to get my life right(and this gut…it's shameful I tell ya):
I apologize for being such a selfish b*tch at times…as if the world revolves around my needs all the time.
I apologize for doing whatever I want regardless of how those choices may affect others…as if I have the right or something.
I apologize for always saying what's on my damn mind instead of being considerate of those it may offend or hurt…as if my thoughts are more important or something.
I apologize for being so damn dismissive when I don't get my way…as if it's my way or the highway.
I apologize for always quitting when the going gets tough…as if people are depending on me to show up.
To all of those who have experienced my thoughtless behavior this year(yes even u Sani baby) my sincerest and deepest apologies.
hitting you in the head wit his situation while you're measuring..none of that.
So many people in my life are going through so much. I feel so disconnected to my friends back home. Only to find that its really bad and I feel so helpless, when I am usually there for everyone. My heart aches for them. I have to just keep praying.
lmao comeback you are a total retard!!
*Dead*
Since we are being all woo woo up n through (worksite comeback) Teacia we as a people forgive you but for the love of God can you PULEASE stop sayin Sani baby!!!!!!!!!
@Comeback
"hitting you in the head wit his situation while you’re measuring..none of that."
What's wrong with that? She just needs to find a warm place for the situation.
U see Mikki and I was all ready to be nice and shit….damn…naggas always gotta fuck shit up!
Lmao Teacia calm down im just sayin….. SHAT laugh a little, breath, woosahh, its ok!!
I wasn't tryin to discredit anythink u said I swear fo God!!
…ummm…what da hell happened can we go back to the retard-dation with tidbits of people's gratitudes and rants.
Yes comeback Dave's Debt Free Friday is coming on at 2pm, yall should listen its very inspiratonal.
Tea:All's forgiven.
Comeback:I'm giggling with delight!
"Yes comeback Dave’s Debt Free Friday is coming on at 2pm'
imma try but if one person asks him how his doing and if he answers one MORE DAM@N time "BETTER THAN I SHOULD" Im gonna ..im not sure…but dam!n please tell him to stop that.
You're supposed to be doing good. Not bad. tell em to stop mik.
Besides it wasn't for the blog…I was putting it out into the universe…you folks will survive either way.
It was my rant reverse where I was trying to accept accountability for the f*cked up sh*t I've allowed to grow and fester in my space.
Maturity is the ability to confront conflict within the bounds of dignity…or some shit like that, lol.
…hey im a work in progress.
Comeback stop being so darn picky!! just listen and act like u dont hear that part kapeesh?
im gonna die from "warehouse syndrome"
"@Comeback
“hitting you in the head wit his situation while you’re measuring..none of that.”
What’s wrong with that? She just needs to find a warm place for the situation."
I can be hit in the head with the situation as long as I can put it my mouth, I said my muthaf'n mouthhh…Love that song.
And Humble, trust I've got a warm place to put and it has other amenities too 🙂
Alright I was gonna pretend I didn't see that, Jac N Humble if yall keep on I am kickin you out of the "club" based on thoughts alone.
i agree with Mik..i just felt like i walked in on somebody screwin …
***backs out the door*** and goes to lunch
@Mikki
"im gonna die from “warehouse syndrome”"
lol. Go to Watts. That may cure u. lol
Mikki: I don't think Humble's thinking about it and I'm just messing with him cause it's funny…he's a funny guy…funny…yeah that's it.
lmao Humble I decline. I have no desire to watch a bunch of naked gay men swing their winky woos in my face. "im good"
Never been there and don't even plan to go, don't chu know I have a lil class man!
Hey guys extreme home makeover is gonna be in my town, i will email yall to let yall know i might be on tv screaming MOVE THAT BUS!!!!!!
@Mikki
Jac is not helping at all with that last post. I hope you get rid of your warehouse syndrome. I've seen babies result from it.
@Comeback
funny. real funny.
*gasp* @ Jaclynn…there is nothing yo tail won't say on here is there. *smh*
Good afternoon!!!!!!!!
RANT!!!!!!!
1. Quit the job today….. sigh….(you can sigh too)….It was time to move on. I have walked away smarter and wiser than ever before, that my friends is something you can not put a price on.
2. I need a hug!
3. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!!! 🙂
4. Lately I am missing someone that I used to love. Can YOU tell me why?
5. I have a little money in the bank…and I want to: purchase a new ($800.00) bag, get a facial, hot stone massage, go eat at Ruth Chris Steakhouse, and buy some new clothes. BOOM…Back into reality…I just quit my job and have to save for the next couple of months….HOWEVER: the stress build up leading to the series of unfortunate events calls for one of these… 🙂
Happy Friday LOVES!!!!
@Mikki: I LOVE that show…i'm always screaming…MOVE THAT BUS…oh and the tear jerker moments…they are just FULL of them. Between Extreme Makeover, Grey's Anatomy and ER(did u see them kill off ole sexy ass Mekhi Pfifer) I can fill a stream with my tv tears.
@Tea: wow. that was profound. but, are those things you are also planning to change?
Teacia:Hell he ain't no stranger…and yes I would never say hey SBM I got something warm and wet waiting on you…yeah see that's bad. Now as for everything else….hmm nah no filter…well yes a filter. You're confrusing me dagnabbit.
I can't wait til this debate tonight, I got a feeling mcaine is going to end up sounding somethin like this.. .http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFyv6ntEb8M&feature=related
Teacia NOT Mekhi Pfifer!!
LAWD HAVE MERCY JESUSSSSSSSSSSSS
did i forget to tell yall i aint got no tv?
Mikki:Where yo TV?
I can't wait for the debate either!
Am I the only one or do the rest of you do Kegels all day too?
@ Cuzzo: You're absolutely right! I don't view being a friend — in and of itself — as a bad thing, but it just get frustrating when it becomes a pattern when you want it to be more.
QB I hope you have a better day. Imma do some freestyle reiki on dat back.
@ anyone..what time does the debate come on?
@ Kara you sound like me with all that pampering goin on. You need it. But don't blow your budget. Maybe just the hot stones. The michael kors can wait till you got a job.
Mikki: I want to know how often I should be doing them.
Comeback:can you do some reiki on my back too?
Comeback:can you do some reiki on my back too
i haven't had the class yet…so most of this im making up with the BEST intentions. its really freestyle. and I do stuff with pink bubbles. But I'll work on it around midnight.
Jac that would imply that you are trying to "gear up" for something……..
Mikki:I sure iz gearing up for a good ol' time Southern style…
@Jac i really get this super deep feeling you are not going to be part of our little club much longer…
Indiana where do you work? i dunno. If he sprained his ankle alright maybe…if he's hearing voices at night, um not so much.
"If I went to lunch with a patient, is that like dating someone you work with???"
@Indi: No. That's not even dating technically – ya'll just going to lunch.
@Cuzzo: Yes I am changing those things as we speak. I've been acknowledging my faults and apologizing to folks for the past few days…today was one of the hardest ones but I got through it with my pride in tact. I haven't been myself lately and it's time to get my ish together.
@Mikki: girl I was flipping back between Grey's Anatomy and ER last night and when Mekhi didn't make it….laaaaawd have mercy I almost lost it…but this season is the last one so I can live with the decision.
@Jac: ummmm yeah…sit yo ass in a corner somewhere. oh and you can say to SBM what u please…he's a single man these days…aint that right mister.
@QB: hunny cheer up…it can only get better from here.
Teacia thankfully i dont watch ER so i really dont feel the affects Greys I used to watch and im behind a good 2 seasons.
@comeback- presurgical center. I dont like it when someone I'm talking to or dating knows where I work at in the begining. Cant have folks stopping by at any given time yakno
Mikki girl u gotta catch up on the seasons…they had a "u are my person" scene last night between friends and it made me miss my ex best friend something crazy.
She was my person for 11 years but b/c I was mad at her earlier this year I dropped her instead of talking to her about it…we haven't spoken since. She got one of those calls as well last night…talk about tears…whew…im such a freakin cry baby I swear.
I cant keep up today. Hello PEOPLE! (people say "hello Jolie")
@Teacia – i don't have a person right now… haven't for awhile. it's kind of weird. but i do have a lot of people i can count on.
I am glad you talkin about bein a freakin cry baby makin me feel better about cryin at work today.

@Tea: SBM is single (again) and you are becoming a better person. voila! all is well with the universe again. change is good. 🙂
I could not see myself dropping my BFF like that. Even if she said some asinine sh!t. I'd be like girl you tripping. But that's what makes that friend true. She knew you were trippin and it's all good now. Hallelujah
Hey Jolie!!!
QB gurl you don't know the half…im so freakin ultra sensitive. Well this year I have been but I'm nipping that shit in the bud right now!!! But what I've learned is sometimes you just gotta cry it all out of system, get up, shake it off and keep it moving!! You'll be fine miss lady I just know it and you got the email in case u wanna chat offline.
Well my 3:45 appt is late so I'm out…and these folks want to be teachers…half of them can't even follow simple directions…geesh.
Cuzzo you not lyin about BFF sometimes they need you more than you know, so before you check out on them find out whats really real. I love my BFF!!!!
Hiiiiiii, Jolie!
Hi Cuzzo! Hi Teacia!
Glad its the weekend. Let the party and the drinking begin.
Have a good one everyone!
oh yea…nuff drinkin in AC 😉
thought you guys might enjoy this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYa0nyy43Bg&fe…
@Cuzzo: although i love her to death she has her "moments" where she just doesn't want to deal, so i said eff it, neither do i then. it's hard always being the one who cares. shit she hasn't called me either though, so as much as i missed her i'm still not sure that my decision wasn't the best choice for me…oh well, such is life.
And yes, all is well in the universe…for now.
To my ex: thank you for being such a great(read: tolerant) friend this week…who knew u had it in you…i kid(well kinda) but seriously though u didn't have to but you did…so i guess i owe you one(mind out of the gutter please).
Well i'm going to wash my hurr now, set it, and curl it(over the real hair…weave here i come) the kid is at a sleepover tonight(yaaaay) and i'm going to a house party after i COOK dinner(yes my dear sweet ex, no more frivilous spending for me).
You all have a great weekend and BE SAFE!!!
Oh and Daisy, please make him show you the results, your piece of mind is worth its weight in gold and then some.
an ex might be breakin up with his girl soon. said he might need to get crazy with someone for awhile… i reminded him that my back could use a work out… dang i am bad.
@Daisy mad props to you for asking for a written test. THat is so responsible. And yes you have the right to know.
@QB – isn't ure ex an ex for a reason?
I'm outty…5000
@Cuzzo yeah he is an ex for a reason but we still keep in contact. I am not talkin about gettin back together with him I am just saying that if I make it to 4 months of this celibacy thing w/ him being single i will be surprised.
QB yes don't go having sloppy seconds now your strong for a reason!! he might have cooties!
@ Indiana
I love that video I love to see older people doing the dam@n thing. That was cute, they look great.
OKay kids don’t have time yet to read other peoples rants but I will get to that after work. here are mine for the day
1. yesterday when they did the epidural steroid injections they told me to watch out for spinal headaches – no one told me what that was supposed to feel like and I am freaking out.
2. I have so far cried 5 times at work today and I have been here 2 hours. Sad. I. dont. cry. at. work. period. yeah i am an emotional wreck right now and i have no idea why other than my back and my membership in the celibacy club.
3. my ex wants me to watch the bears game with him on Sunday which i would love to do but i worry that will lead to something else. duh. of course it will so that means i can’t do it.
4. I want to go home.
5. Co-workers feel the need to call my boss rather than ask me to clarify an email. It really bothers me when people do that.
6. just got our “advisor satisfaction” ratings for the month and i have the lowest percent. not helpful to my day.
7. i should just stop now because I am complaining more than ranting. Sorry ya’ll.
hope everyone’s day is going well.
Awww QB cheer up girlfriend read the rants that well help ya feel a lil betta lol
Jac I sold my tv 9 months ago to my bestie when I moved and haven’t gotten another since.
🙂 Hi Guys. I missed you all so much! Man, my whole afternoon is completely screwed because my friend wants to be a d!ck. This right here is why he's standing here and can't leave…all pissed huffing and puffing…oh well…I guess he'll just have to suffer until I stop being a, how did he put it…demonic b!tch. Sighh…poor guy. I wonder what makes men to decide to talk to women like they're not shit then want you to be nice to them?
Comeback, Mikki, Ladies…Gentlemens…any answers?
Jac you are on time out!!
8pm
Random thought: If I went to lunch with a patient, is that like dating someone you work with???
@ Why So: “just looking for something to eat and possibly mingle at. I do have my Bruce Waynish outta town persona on.”
I know I’m late…but since you’re an out-of-towner, you should go to Atlantic Station. It’s a big “tourist” weekend so the Blacks will be out and about in full force. If you go to Strip, they have great sushi & steaks. It’s a tri-level building and people hang out and frolic up on the terrace. Across the street, there’s Fox Sports Grill. The food is crap, but the place is nice, atmosphere is cool and there’s always a big crowd. You can watch the games, hang out, and meet all the women who are on the prowl.(There’ll be plenty) Dress nice. Casual chic. Have fun!
@Jac: you just inspired a long awaited blog post. they're like that because we let them.
Okay Ladies can anyone tell me what time the debates are ona nd will any website be showing them? I am stuck at work until lord knows when doing OT tonight… 🙁
QB:Cnn.com is showing it @ 9pm Eastern
Teacia:Ain't it the truth well I wasn't having it today…you have to calm your ass down in hea.
@Jac thanks. Now you wanna come audit some DSL orders for me too? haha. ;o)
Jac your guess is as good as mine
I know right! So are we discussing the debate on here?
Jac you know this is the spot!!! I saw that footage of him and michelle walking he was so nice to those people and they look so good together, I need me an obama or somethin like it lol
Mikki I am with you girl. I need an Obama too. I just love Michelle she seems so strong willed but sweet.
I don't know any obamas I do know a lotta bruh mans from the 5th floor tho. LOL
I know some Obamas!!!! It's fabulous. They are true stand-up guys. But they find it hard to find a woman of their caliber.
you know he likes to come over n fix samiches n shat, without asking
Ok Jac just give them my number ok? only the cute ones nah I said obama not flava!
Wait…this Obama-like guy does…yeah I likes a man who makes himself @ home! That's so sexy to me!
umm what does the mediator dude want them to do hold hands why does he need them to "talk to each other"
Mikki…girl I got you. I'm going out tonight I might see some @ the club…sometimes they're at this place. I once met an engineer from Shell..and I went home with him, yeah…he had chick books and real body wash…eh I had to go…Too feminine but I'ma check on it!
The problem is…that he doesn't really want them to debate, but rather conversate. I think it's weird. I don't get it.
lmao Jac iight imma call bruh man for you! pulezz dont make urself at home at my crib! I DO NOT LIKE THAT! mainly because I don't do that when i go to folks house, maybe thats a southern thing
yea i dont want them to converse just start yellin!!
and Jac please no metro sexuals
Uhhmm…no bruh mans. Educated only. Bruh man was ig'nant. Maybe southern way of life is quite different!
Mikki…why no metrosexual? Where's comeback?
I don't know where she is….
Jac Ok I take that back about metrosexuals, I had a flashback. Some people have an issue differentiating between metrosexuals n gays, so far I haven't had that issue so I should be ok. But I still don't like the idea of a man being in the mirror longer than me.
Girl…I'm a pretty girl and I like the mirror but eventually I get tired of looking in it.
Let me tell you there's a guy here a Kappa who is gay as all outdoors and claims he's just metro and bi. GTFO. I could spank him down because he kissed a girl at his probate AND she cried because errbody know where his mouth been uggh~!
uhhhhhhhh nasty nasty nasty. I was listening to the radio and they was having confession night. Some guy called in said he is suppose to be engaged to be married but his girl doesn't know he is bisexual, he said he likes men more than women. Can you say std please? He is why im in the club and will be there until i can do paper checks
ummmmm, yall can't be watching the debate with all this yapping. he wants them to CONVERSE(spell check for Jac) b/c interactive conversation is more enjoyable for the audience…but if yall are watching the audience reaction Obama is killing him…he brought his A game to this debate 4 Real!
OMG…that's disgusting. Have you seen the blog about the downlow guy?
umm I can multi task just fine thanks!
No Jac I haven't you have to direct me to it
Tea, you know I am a multi-tasking person from wayyy back.
I knew that was the right word I don't know why I changed it. AND Obama's seriously killing old ass. I just wanna slap McCain with that cocky ass look on his face that says he's knows everything while he just repeats himself over and over again.
Mikki: thedailylifeofadownlowmale.blogspot.com
@Mikki
"uhhhhhhhh nasty nasty nasty. I was listening to the radio and they was having confession night. Some guy called in said he is suppose to be engaged to be married but his girl doesn’t know he is bisexual, he said he likes men more than women."
I know this has to be scary for women
@Everyone – I thought this was a debate. I thought you argue topics not what each other did or why we should vote for you.
Barack smiles like Denzel…he looks just like his little brother when he smiles. I knew that smile looked familiar…I wonder if they're related?!?!?
first McCain is not making me like him anymore today "Obama doesnt understand the difference between strategy and Tactic"when i look strategy up on dictionary.com under Thesaurus what comes up as a synomym? Tactic. yup that's right.
I need to eat. What can I eat with a slight stomach flu? Please tell me I can eat pizza.
QB:That cracked me up. Miss Non-Congeniality is f'n up.
Teacia:You are so right. So charming. So much swag. He must be over at http://www.mrswagger.com like errday.
Humble:Yes it is. It's terribly frightening as a black woman. Like errday.
oh yeah and while we are multi-tasking need you ladies opinion on something…
my best friend from grade school (known each other since she came out her momma) is engaged and getting married on June 13th… has sent out her save the date cards (found out from a mutual friend she sent them out two weeks ago) and just told me about the wedding herself this weekend when i text to see what was up and how things were. We have always sworn we would be each other's maid's of honor and she has her dress picked out (and bought isnt that a little early?) and didnt even tell me about the wedding till i asked what was up. Is it okay that i am a bit upset? I didnt get a save the date card from her or nothin… not sure if i am even goin to get invited…
and then she just sent me some stupid text forward that said she loved me like a fat kid loves cake. God i hate that line.
Humble it's Friday…I say eat the pizza. I wouldn't advise pepperoni though, may upset it a bit. But to be honest you shouldn't eat anything…fluids, lots of fluids…orange juice is pretty filling when you have a stomach flu. Man I want one, I lost like 10 pounds the last time I had one.
@Qb: i'm staying away from the wedding thing…don't get offended, that sh*t is expensive, lol.
lol @ QB thanks for pointing out they are one in the same funny stuff.
Humble right A debate is suppose to be about where you stand on each of the issues. But I did like what mcaine was saying about over spending and how he is against this 700 bail out. The rest of what he is saying im not so sure. He is promoting capitalism, and really wants people to do for them selves and obama seems like he wants to take care of people more, and the only place i agree with this is when it comes to health care and education.
I don't think we should be in the mortgage business at all and I really wish obama would have spoken up on that, wallstreet does not need to be bailed out they just need to change the accounting rules so that it the books reflect the true value of those bonds and they can actually be sold off.
Thank you Teacia for agreeing with me 🙂 I knew I liked you from the beginning.
QB:I would be pissed too.
lol @ Teacia she has a point, just be happy to be invited and keep it moving lol dont spend your life savings on an ugly dress and a whole day running around for someone else
@Teacia – Ok so I will listen to you and Jac and not eat the pizza. What about popcorn? You dont want what I have. You can loose weight easier by working out. I have been sick since tuesday. You want no part of this
Mikki…OK, if i could take back ALL of my bridesmaid dresses and shoes and trade them in to be a guest I would do it in a HEARTBEAT!! Maybe one or two friends, but that's it…being in weddings are OVERRATED!!!
Damn, McCain can't catch a break on the audience reactions…lol.
@Teacia i have never before gottan upset that a friend didnt ask me to be in her wedding. I didnt even get upset when my surrogate brother/very close friend didnt ask me to be in his wedding (i knew his fiance hated me and i knew it would end in divorce i just thought it would last longer than 11 months). But this is the one person that her wedding was going to be special to me. The ONLY person I still EVER talk to from my home town. I dunno… *shrug* we have been planning our weddings together since we knew what a wedding was and to not even be told… I guess i am just hurt. the only savings account I have is an account of monies set aside so that when she got married i knew i would have money to fly out to Idaho to be at her wedding… guess I can pay some credit cards off with that huh? I'm just hurt.
@humble how much butter is on the popcorn?
Humble sheeeeeiiit speak for yourself, I was sick for like 7 days and was SKINTY when it was all over. No workout regimine can do that for me…lol, but to the gym I go in the morning. *sigh*
any idea how long these debates are going to go on? I really want to go home now that i am done w/ work but dont want to miss anything.
QB…damn gurl, you gotta tell her. Shit copy, paste and send that whole paragraph in an email.
Humble:Thanks love. Yeah you can have some popcorn just no butter.
QB they last for 90 minutes…17 more minutes left…u can wait it out chic.
I am sorry who cares how much taller the south koreans are compared to the north koreans?
Tonight is the foreign policy debate guys…the next one is about economics. They only addressed the bailout at the beginning b/c the had to and it affects global markets…so you can ride out QB if you'd like. I guess I should have mentioned that first.
@Jac & QB – Popcorn with no butter? Are you serious?
@Teacia – You can't lose 10lbs in like 2weeks from excercise?
Skinty? lol. Where did you get that word. I think you would look better losing weight through excercise than sickness.
Yeah yeah i hear you…but illness is the only thing that will stop my greedy ass from eating mass quanitities of unhealthy eats. But I'm on it hurrd in the morning.
Oh and skinty comes from Madea, like pentis, and mornting…she/he puts a "t" in everything next to an "n".
QB yea you should say something to her if it means that much to ya, I sure would be mad if my bestie forgot to send me a card or let alone be in the wedding even if its out the country I will be there.
I don't watch Madea so I would have never got that if you didnt tell me. I hope you dont kill your workouts by eating junk.
Oh yeah Ima stick it out Teacia. I would have stuck it out even if it was going to be another hour. I just really wanna go home. lol.
@humble – yes popcorn w/ no butter… or very little butter…
Humble:Yes doll I'm serious. And I'm with Tea, I lose weight when I don't eat.
I love, love, love Madea…now whose seen Family that Preys now?
@Mikki & Teacia i just emailed her. We'll see what she comes back with. Only person I have ever wanted to be in their wedding bad enough that i would be hurt if not asked.
on a side note my cousin is preggers and another cousin and I are thinking that a wedding is coming (no way her parents are going to let her have a baby and not be married – kinda sad). neither one of us can stand her but we have this strong feeling we are going to get asked to be in the wedding… is it okay to say no?
Yes QB u can say no
@humble wait i didnt read the flu thing… no popcorn. go with soup. Boring i know but you dont want to make it worse.
Night Ladies & Humble. I am heading home.
whew, that was a good debate…bring on the political commentary!!!
@QB – I decided on a few pieces of chicken
Damn, I want to go out.
Humble:I'm sick of ur complaining dear.
hey everyone,
I need to vent. I went for drinks after work with a male friend of mine, who I have a crush on and he knows it. somebody please tell me why he picked up some hussy at the bar and left with her! wtf. I am so mad right now!
did obama throw down in the debate??
INDIANA-NOOOOO AND YES HE DID
Early Poll Results Suggest More Uncommitted Voters Saw Obama As Debate Winner
http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2008/09…y4482028.s…
This is my first sbm rant, here goes nothing:
– I'm getting a cold at the absolute WORST time possible..I have way too much going on at work to even think about taking sick days
– I'm seriously considering changing my name to lonely & irritated in DC. I dont understand, I'm pretty, intelligent, with goals and a good job, and a sense of humor, etc. Why am I alone again?
– I'm so happy the step show got canceled, because all I wanted to do was crawl into bed after work. Shot out to the rain for making that happen for me.
-I love rain, and I hope it rains all damn weekend. Good for the soul
-I need to call my mommy
– I feel crummy, I really could use a hug
Welcome 8th Wonder feel better
Indiana Jones oh hecks NO NO NO NO NO!! He is a hawt mess!! who does shat like that?? really!!!!!!
If its like that you don't need him anyways, but seriously ugh what a jerk!
Hey Mikki, thanks a lot!
I am all caught up on Greys!! wooopeee
I'm officially in LOVE with Ronnie Brown…and I swear before sweet baby Jesus that if I don't make him mine by Super Bowl Sunday(in Tampa yaaaaay) then I will give up my then 4 yr infatuation and move on *sigh*
…and if I hadn't been such a PUNK every time I was in his presence over the past 2 years then he would already know by now, no more bullsh*tting. You only live once right, lol.
Oh and GOOOOOO JAGS!!!
Teacia:Now I will not accept this half-assin…do it and do it right okay…Gee whiz how you gonna school me on ish if you don't do it first?
How has everyone's weekend been?
Jac that man is like my kryptonite, I get all weak in the knees and sh*t. The first time I saw him I didn't know who he was, South Beach, Wet Willies, me and my girls were at a table next to him, Trick Daddy, Carnell Williams(Cadillac), Carlos, and some bodyguards. I thought he was apart of Trick's entourage but he was gorgeous so it didn't matter. I walked right up to him and was like I don't know who you are but you're absolutely beautiful, we laughed and took pics…I don't think he thought I was serious b/c when he tried to hit on me I punked out and hurried to the other side of the bar(sooo not like me at all).
Two weeks later I found out who he was b/c my homegirl started dating his friend, eventually married him and they have like 2 kids now…anywhooo when I moved to Tampa my other friend was engaged to Antonio Tarver(former heavyweight champion) but left his abusive ass and started dating Carnell(ole slow talking GEECHIE ass). I swear during that time I had to have been around him like 20 times and NEVA did I say a word about this infatuation(i'm usually really good at flirting)…he even flirted and I did NOTHING! I'm sooooo lame I swear.
Last chance was this past March when I went to Miami for a wedding and he was in Club 5th(hand picked entry only), in the Super VIP VIP(some serious flirting with the bouncer took place)…and of course we talked took pics and NOTHING! Our table(Caldwell's table…shout out to Riche who I saw once we got in) was right next to his and I said nothing even resembling "oh my god i'm so in love with you i want to have your babies, all 13 of them"(cause it's kind of lame and stalkerish).
But this fall I'm stepping my game waaaaay up and letting him know, even if nothing manifests(which really is okay) I have to get this monkey off my back. I'm not a chic who lives her life in what ifs, and this one has been hanging over my head for more than 3 years.
Whew…glad to get this one off my chest. Carry on all.
As for the weekend, very low key. I hung out with friends yesterday at the FSU game for a couple of hours. One of my homegirl had club seats so we headed out there. Of course I was once again overdressed, but hey it makes you standout.
Some random guy and his friends were nearby and one of them came up to me and handed me his Discover card and was like, "you can have whatever you like"…no lie, so me and my girl ate, drank and got ice cream. Now I know I'm NOT a dime, but men do some of the strangest things to get my attention, and even I don't think I'm that hot but oh well…we get in where we fit in. After that I've decided to lay low for a while, gotta refocus some obvious energy I'm putting out there.
Oh and my nephew turned 1, so we had a family gathering for a small celebration.
gave up the discover?!? woah now. Where you live again? I need to roll with you? lol.
Lol…Duuuuuuvaaaaal aka Jacksonville, Fl. He's a nice enough guy but I'm taking a break for a while.
aw, boooo. lol. did ya'll exchange numbers at least?
don't be surprised if you see me in the winter time. 😉
and taking a break from what? there's no harm in being friends. oh, wait we just talked about that…men and women can't be friends, right?
yeah we exchanged numbers but im chillin'…men are a distraction(especially the kind that throw money in ur direction) and i got things to do, gotta stay focused.
at least for the next 30 days…hey i didn't say i was on a sabatacle.
I had to wait over the weekend but now I know the deal: My rant is simple enough I wanted out get out of this suck a$$ 2nd shift 4-12 in overpriced NYC, gotta love knowing you cant date ANYONE because your schedule is just to damn awkard…note I have no kids and live alone so working at this time has no bennnys(…for those about to say "thats a good schedule" ) just me coming home to a empty apt at 1am well the irony is my job approved it but dude I needed to switch bullshitted the whole deal.
We were waiting on his wife a nurse…nuff said. What realitively attracive woman is gonna say "sure lets swap schedules…I love walking down Van Siclen Ave at 1am". Problem is he asked his wife at the START of this month instead of at the start of the summer …now come on, outside of the DMV (in any state) and the old USSR…hospitals are nothing but red tape…u need to sign three forms just to use the bathroom-shift change? "we'll see if we can do that in 2010 or 2012"
@Temps i feel your pain… i use to work 4:30-12 or something along those lines i think?
Can you ever meet friends out? That's what I did… I would either wear something to work that i could wear out or take something to change into, and fix my hair and makeup on my last break. then I would just go meet people out… Something that might work…
I hope things perk up for you soon!
I never heard of anyone using Albuterol for a bodybuilding supplement. I do not know if I would recommend it. I use glycocarn and it works great. It is real effective. I have a lot of energy and I see results in the gym. Instead of using Albuterol you should talk to your doctor to make sure and at least research some other supplements.
