Mr. FAQs
- I always seem to be playing cupid, by default.
- Ask and you shall receive: degree holding accountant with one of the Big 4 in LA…SCORE!
- Every chick in Atlanta seemed to have a big ole ass, every single one.
- Why did a cat walk in T-mobile and use a display phone to make a call??? We got a Black President now, we can’t do that! Ha
- Power Lunch (or Power Breakfast on the West Coast) on CNBC used to be one of my favorite shows…now its just straight depressing.
- I wish I was a freshman in college right now. Full of ambition, hope and insulated from this economy for another 4-years.
- Not that I’m less elated than the next person but can the President and his family get off my TV 24/7?
- Next two weeks … got some big decisions to make. Keep me in your prayers.
- Some decent things happened for me this week. My job let me know my pay won’t drop (for at least a few months). I’m in the process of hashing out a few legit business ventures. I bought another videogame to keep me safe in times of crisis…people need to cop that Mortal Kombat vs. DC United. Lost over an hour of my life with the quickness.
- I need to start explorin’ more with my writing. People keep tellin’ me about opportunities to have stuff published. All I need to do is get one jawn published in the right place and the real fun shall begin…
- My time management has been awful lately. Really need to get that in order. I guess I just care less when things are going somewhat well.
- My basketball game got cancelled this week. That means 1 week to do some calf raises and cardio only to be equally as tired after next weeks game.
- I appreciate the blog fam…as usual. Have a good weekend!
SBM
- Apparently SBM has decided to write his Rantings in the third person (assinine … aint it?). When he was asked why he would do such a thing … he arrogantly responded “I am no longer a person … but an entity”. After that statement, a shoe was promptly thrown at him … but unfortunately … he has moves sicker than Neo from the matrix … and dodged it with a surpring amount of style.
- SBM left his office at 9pm today … only to rest in preparation for an early meeting. There is something he finds refreshing about leaving the office late after working hard and accomplishing something that should be well received … but his back hurts from his “massa’s” lashings.
- He wants a new car … badly … but he has enough sense to realize the reality of his mortgage is a higher priority. In addition to that, the Audi A5 (MSRP $45K) is just unrealistic for him. The more practical used Infiniti G35 coupe (aprox. $16K) would allow him to ride around in style at a reasonable price … but his long list of speeding tickets is helping him to appreciate his modest (yet not slumming) 4 cylinder car. All his cars are always Black on Black …
- For the entire week, SBM had been looking forward to the rants … with plenty of nuggets of insight he wanted to bestow upon the people he loves most … but apparently having to work hard in order to compensate for barely working has left his mind in a mush like state (probably helping to explain his decision to go third person).
- Knowing so much about computers is becoming boring to SBM. He’s glad he has the knowledge to help others and earn himself a healthy compensation package … but can he be known as something else. Its not like the boy walks aroung with a pocket protector and glasses installing windows all day!
- ApparentlySBM had another good week … and is looking forward to celebrating the birthday of his baby brother’s (his brother hate’s baby & little) this weekend.
- Damn … this man actually told someone “I drip swag whereever I walk … and I need a team just to make sure I don’t stain the sidewalk on the way to work”. This man needs some sleep … because he is talking foolishness.

SBM…SLIM…FAQ and the rest of SBM Fam–hope you have a good day.
I don't have any rants for the week. I'm just happy to type "the end" on my latest manuscript. Friday is "pamper me" day so I'm about to go get my hair done…nails done…and shopping on.
Hey SBM.net!!!!
1. This snow is putting us under… I'm sick of it dominating my world and everyone's conversations.
2. This snow is preventing the kid from having a sound sleep.
3. Internet dating has been interesting but fun.
4. I pray that I can drop and add these two classes… Spanish is killing me and I need to escape!!
5. I have not been working out.
@nicki: crossing my fingers 4 ur classes
@sheila: congrats on finishing ur latest book! if I could only get mine done! I'm writing but all that seems to come out as of late is erotica..and that is soooo not the book that my publishers have right now!!
End of the week again huh…
1. I was fuming yesterday because my trusty mobile wouldn't start. I thought it was just a starter motor…turned out to be an alternator and battery. It caught me off guard and took a chunk out of my hide-$$$.
2. Because of unforseen costs and circumstances, bootleging DVDs doesn't sound so bad.
3. Well…I have started anticipating spring because this winter sh*t is for the birds. Although I love cold crisp air and snow, it's too easy to get depressed.
4. I was on the University of Maryland's campus yesterday and for once felt like a dirty old man. Of course, I could blend in with the general population, but it took me back to my alma mater (feeling like a SS#, thousands of people swarming to and from class). I have to say this also: Watch out black women…white girls are getting their booty game together. If they can discover another pair of shoes besides Uggs then you all are in trouble.
1. Burning the midnight oil to boil the ocean for a cup of tea is f*cking stupid – thanks Boss!!
Grati-rants
2. My President is Black, smart, and thoughtful!
3. I am feeling super-patriotic!
4. There's nothing like a hot bubble bath + cookie and breakfast in the morning to melt work-related stress away!
Morning all you lovely and handsome people, just had my oatmeal so I'm feeling better…. guess I have a few rants, it was a so so week….
1. Just spent a chuck of dough a few weeks ago putting my son in another day school cause he got kicked out the last one… lil dude is acting up again.
2. I'm trying to design webpages in photoshop and I'm getting hella frustrated. Also p*ssed because I can't figure out how to download Joomla on my webhost, but at least I got my localhost working for now to test things out. Progress is progress.
3. I still have not worked a full week since the new year and it's making me hate coming to work even more. Need to get these sites off the ground now so I can keep my tail at home doing what I love.
4. It was 79degrees last weekend in Dtown, then it iced on Tuesday and Wednesday like 15degrees, and this weekend it will be back up in the 60s… that's Texas for ya… coat and scarf today, flip flops tomorrow.
**Aside: As a Mortal Kombat head from the wee shawty days, I am thoroughly jealous of Slim's copped game. I need to get to my cousin's promptly, I bet he has it.**
On to the rants:
– Winter can kiss my arse. And it has…with frozen numbness. I feel like I'm thawing out in this office. Feels good.
– Got my much needed third check of the month today. I love how that happens.
– I love how Fridays and its smaller workload allow me to goof off a lot at work.
Who am I kidding, as if I don't do it anyway Monday-Thursday.That's about it. Have a lovely day, ya'll!
-my size XL line sister asked to borrow my size smedium sweater that i left at her house…i didn't have the heart to tell her no, and that it probably wouldn't look that great anyway…
-had a great meeting w/some really big deal people yesterday…it made me feel mediocre, but excited that i have the opportunity to get where they are
-my best friend is babysitting my puppy today, since i have so much to do when i get off work, and won't be able to be at the house much tonight…im glad he gets along with her dog
-im super weirded out by the fact that today my ex posted nearly the exact same blog post as my new interest posted yesterday…am i about to be dating the exact same guy? wtf???
-excited about the concert that i'm going to tonight..i love real hip hop!!
@akua: Thank you doll.. one of those biyotch teachers emailed me and said she doesn't allow for joining of her class late because TOO MUCH HAS BEEN DISCUSSED.
Dude, it's on the second week and we've been out of school ALL THIS WEEK due to the weather.
Girl, I'm praying.
Greetings, here are some thoughts rants and opinions, i have for the week ending 1/30/09
1. I need to follow through on some of my biz ventures
2. Is running for a seat on the local school board a good move?
3. I need start celebrating some of the small victories and improving my overall quality of life, which include, saturday monrings/afternoons spent at the ponies:organizing a female entourage/think tank, settng time aside for video games

5. I made my grand return to gym, the spider bite is gone…
6. In the year of Denegrofication, The Tahoe will be hitting the slopes…
Have Safe and Beautiful Weekend, Be easy.
No rants here today!!! I got a promotion! I am buying a new car next week! (sorry SBM)!! And I stood up for myself last night when my "date" disrespected me and told him to lose my number!
Happy Friday!
1. Someones lunch today smelled like feet.
2. Speaking of feet, why in the hell did I just see two women with sandals on? We just had a snowstorm two days ago. Its still only 20 degrees outside.
3. This weekend should be fun. I'm fighting off a cold, but Im still going to a party tomorrow and chilling @ a friends house to watch the game on his big screen.
4. I just got finished putting in my vacation time and this week I bought the tickets! I'll be in D.C. in Feb., and then Aruba in March. So much to look forward to, makes these winter blues go away just a bit.
Have an awesome weekend everyone!
LMAO @ the display phone!!! OMG I would have DIED!!!
I hope everyone had a great week.
1. This has been the LONGEST week ever but I think that next week will be even worse.
2. It annoys the hell out of me that the same people that complain about $hit at work don't want to speak up when asked how to make things better. Speak up or shut the f*** up complaining
3. Office potlucks should alway require people to label what they brought with their name – I don't eat everyone's food….(esp. people with cats)
4. I worked 3 hours on something and then my cpu froze and it dissappeared….WTF….proceeded to contemplate throwing my laptop out of the window but I have a mortgage to pay
SBM forgot to mention his hatred for the cold, the ice and the snow. While it earned him a day to work from home this week … it made all the other days … horrid.
Akua, thanks…maybe once you get the erotica done, the one your publisher wants will come easy to you. Sometimes those characters won't let up until you finish the story.
The name says it all. Thank You.
