i'm back from my trip to DC/NYC and i must say i enjoyed it in every way possible!!! i miss being on the east coast so much!! there was so much to do on a regular day of the week. here in memphis it feels like, sometimes in order to have fun, there has to be something going on. now don't get my wrong, my friends and i have fun every time we hang out. but in dc every night is exciting. and i don't even want to start on NY night life.

Visiting my family was great too! i haven't seen them in years. i got to finally meet my favorite cousins' kids and her husband. i got my meet my other cousins' new husband too! really nice guy. i can't wait to go back. i'm actually thinking about moving up there sometime next year in 2012. my job will allow me to transfer and i can finish school online. i want to move to DC though. i had more fun there. in NYC i wouldn't be able to focus on work if i lived there. i would only want to have fun and run the streets. in DC i could work and commute to NY on the weekends and come back on sunday night and be ready for work on monday. i just have a few things here in memphis that i need to handle first and then i will be ready to dip.

thats all i have for now talk to you guys later

i haven't blogged in a long time. i stopped blogging for a bit b/c of some things that have been going on in my life that i wanted to internally fix before i publicly spoke on them. well, it never happened, but i still don't necessarily want to publicly discuss it. i feel like i owe it to those people to let it go unheard from the public eye. then i also stopped blogging b/c at the time, certain people were going back to the girl i was dating at the time about what i was saying in my blog as if she and i weren't already discussing what was being said here in our relationship. Luckily for me i don't have to worry about either of those things anymore.

so what am i going to talk about today??????

i want to talk about "friendships by association". I have come across a lot of these in recent years b/c of the people i hung around. i normally wouldn't ever talk with these people but b/c i'm such a sociable person, these people came into my life by default. now lets get one thing clear......i am NOT a snob. i am simply saying that i wouldn't normally be friends with these people thats all. i'm glad that i have done better at who i call "friend" because those people clearly didn't deserve it.

this weekend coming up i'm going to DC and NYC. i can't wait! i haven't been home in almost 6yrs and i can't wait to see my family. i miss them so much!! i also get to see someone very special to me. She is such a great person. you guys have no idea how great it is to have someone like her in my life #787. But thats enough of the mushy stuff. lol gotta keep it g status.

thats all i have for now. you guys take it easy....

Song of the day

Song of the day today is by one of my favorite new rappers. yeah, he has his prblems, but put him up next to ANY new artist out right now and i bet you'll like him more.

weekend update

So this weekend.......

this weekend wasn't really any different that any other weekend. i worked and had fun with my friends. friday night we kicked it at my homeboy crib and watched the ncaa games and got really drunk. well at least and i did. we each drank a 6pack and i had half of a 4loco *note to self, never do that again* i didn't get sick or anything tho. i'm #BTL lol but we decided to go to the hookah lounge for a bit, then we went by CK's and got something eat. i think it was the CK's that messed my stomach up. no matter how many late nights i've been eating there, my stomach can never get used to the food there. i guess that should tell me i better stop eating there huh??!? lol

now saturday night was a little different. saturday night i had a little get together at the house and invited some people over, but i forgot to invite a few people over that i wanted to invited. i had a lot going on and i just forgot because of how fast things were going, but anywho, the evening was a lot of fun. i ended up talkin to the guy that i was talking about in my last blog and we got A LOT of things resolved. we were both believing the wrong person. we handled it like men, and everything is all good now. even though i said i was over it, something just kept nagging at me about and i wanted to get to the bottom of it, and i did and now i feel better about it. i'm really glad we talked it out. he even said was right about a few things and i found out that he didn't really talk to "the source" like it was made out to be. i guess some people just have to drama around them.....

another person that i am glad that came was this girl that i have a little crush on. i currently like this other girl but for some reason with "The crush" i just can't shake it. whenever i am around her, i just feel like kid that has the crush on the girl in his class. i can't believe i'm even putting that in my blog lol.......but i kinda like this other girl as well. i really like her. when i said was ready to start dating, i didn't think that liking 2 girls that same time would be in the mix. i'm not really the kid of guy to date multiple girls at one time so obviously something has to give. TBC is all i can say about it....

so that was my weekend. not a lot went on, but enough to make it eventful. i'm getting kinda sleepy now so i'm gonna call it a night. i'll hit you guys up a little later in the week. i'm thinking about doing my "song of the day" posts again. i'm really taking this blogging thing seriously again and i feel good about it.Until next time folks....

fronters

i find that its odd that as SOON as i blog about being happy with life that something comes along and blows my high(happiness high that is). for those that don't know me, i'm a very nice and giving person. i will give you my last before i eat. so if i call you a "friend" i mean it. i found out some information about a person that i supposedly squashed "Beef" with that this cat thought that i had hidden agendas behind squashing it. lets make it be known that it wasn't even MY idea to end it. for one, there was NO beef on my side at all. in fact had certain person kept their mouth shut it wouldn't even been an issue. but thats another story for another day. i digress. but back to my original topic. i'm perfectly fine being cool with this cat, but don't go back to the same person that started the beef and talk to them about it. apparently they talk all the time from what i've been told, but its confusing when people are telling me that he thinks that the source of the drama is crazy. nka's kill me with that. like don't be a fronter. at least with me, i'll keep my thoughts to myself about a person and just take them for who they are. i don't go around gossiping about it. it really bothers me about grown men that do that. but i'm over befriending people that don't deserve it. part of me wants to confront EVERYONE involved but whats it going to prove??? NOTHING. why wouldn't it you ask? because fake people are gonna always be fake. so i'm dropping this issue right now as i write because i refuse to allow it to bring me down longer than it already has. but anyway doe, have a good day folks. in the words of the homie shaka, "I'm out."

peace&love

i'm back!.....AGAIN! LOL

HEY!!!

i haven't blogged seriously in a long time. like a serious post in months. i normally just post pics on my tumblr and keep it at that to express my feelings, but its always good to come back to your roots and write out how you really feel. these past few months i have been the happiest i have ever been in years. i finally have figured this thing called life out. i'm just letting things come to me and not rush anything. No stress. no nothing. i'm living by myself and i'm living comfortable. not worried about money or anything. i love living alone btw. its awesome. i can do whatever i want whenever i want lol i love having my friends over on the weekends and have to worry about being too loud because of a roommate sleeping or is bad mood. i don't have to have my my dog locked up in a room all day. not too mention live downtown now so this summer is going to be awesome! sitting on my porch, having a beer and watching the sun set over the bridge. i have a great job now(i'm looking for a 2nd to support my summer trips). My friends are great too. no drama. no made up stories of any sort. Even Baxter is acting right lol


i've decided to start back dating casually. well, i already was, but it was different. i was too focused on what our futures would look like. i mean i still think about it, but not like i did before. i liked this one girl for a few months at the beginning of the year but it just wouldn't have worked. we are still good friends tho. i even entertained starting over with my ex, but after an incident recently, i just can't allow myself to go back to that type of stress. i don't mind being friends with her. we would just have to keep it at that. i really didn't know THAT many people didn't like her. i mean, the stories i heard, i just couldn't and wouldn't want to repeat and i just want to leave it at that.

i have however met a really great girl recently. like, i said before i wasn't looking for a relationship, i just want to date. well, life has its crazy turns and tricks to it. i really like her a lot and i love the fact that she is older than me and nobody knows her lol i haven't told many people about her and i yet. mainly because its new and i just don't want a lot of people in my business about it. of course i'm gonna tell my boys about her lol but other than that, not too many people will know. unless they see us out together. i will say one thing about her though, in the short time that i have known her, she is very supportive of what i want to do in life and what man doesn't want a supportive woman by his side. it's still very early, so hopefully this "thing" that we are doing will eventually turn into a relationship.....one day, but not today.

i think thats all that i have going on right now. i will def start back writing more. I PROMISE. lol

my decision

hey everyone! how are you guys doing? you like the new look??? i decided that it was time for a little change. i took the music off and i will just post songs of the day/week posts instead. things have really been moving fast for me lately. i decided to finally move away from memphis. things here aren't working out the way that i planned. sometimes you have to make decisions that are going to affect your tomorrow instead of today. i look at this move as a business trip. i'm moving to houston for school and school only. 100% focused. there are people here that only want to see my downfall and i will not let them win. my mom doesn't like the idea of me leaving, but thats only because my pops lives in houston. she still doesn't agree with my reasons for moving, but you can't let people's dislikes rule over you. i feel like in order for me to achieve my dreams and goals, i have to make this move. i have 2 semesters of school left. i can do it ALL online. i'm not missing a beat. still in school. still focused. after undergrad, i'm jumping right into grad school at SHSU. i was talkin to my "mid town crew" and they were telling me that its ok if i don't have the things i wanted by now or be in "that" part of my life yet. they basically said that my 20's was the decade when you find out who you really are and what type of person you are. once you hit 30, life just "clicks together". you just become a totally new person. i agree completely with that statement. it seems like a lot of times i make the dumbest choices and its all because of me being 25 and having the "wildin cuz i'm young" attitude. now i'm not saying that i just live like a rock star and i go clubbing every chance i get. but i mean it like, i can do/say something to someone and not think about how it may affect them. when you are 30 hopefully those days are long gone from your mentality. these next 5years i'm going to do whatever it takes to make sure that by the time i'm 30, everything that needs to be in place will be. i'm really excited about this. i'm really going to miss my friends and family in memphis, but i'm only a short car ride away so i'll be coming back and forth to visit all the time. its been real memphis but i gotta go! lol

troubles

hey everyone! how was your week? and how was your weekend? sorry i didn't do a song this weekend. this week has been pretty rough for me. i had to find out the hard way who all i can call "family" in my own family. I've realized that sometimes you have to really watch who you call your friend as well. sometimes people want to be your friend just to get close to you to hurt you. for the first time in years i got into a physical altercation with someone. i'm not the fighting type at all, but i definitely will not let anyone put their hands on me either. I know 100% that this is a test from God, but you don't want to be like "Really God? Like seriously, why am i going through this. I'm not a bad person." i'm not one to question God or the tests that He puts me through; all i know is that i'm ready for my breakthrough.

We need to be past this/halloween party

hey everyone!!!! i am SOOOOOOO sorry for not blogging last week. i was trippin'. One night i said i was going to blog, but i stayed up tweeting instead. lol don't judge me. matter fact shout out to one of my followers for calling me out on it too. lol So with that said, i promise to do better to guys! #scoutshonor.


i kinda feel like discussing something that happened a few weeks ago before i jump into recent events. i kinda touched on it on tumblr, but i didn't go into detail on it. I'm a little skeptical about discussing things on my blog, because i have something called internet spies, or cowards if you will, they have been making up lies about me. My ex calls me and says that someone told her Ex's best friend who proceeded to tell her EX that she cheated on him the entire time they were together and that they received the information from me. Apparently, i had a conversation with this person and told them these things. o_O Now, normally i would brush it off, BUT when she called she had this to say. "i had to calm myself down before i called because i was going to go off." Now let me get this straight, you want to go off on me about something that was apparently said months ago that i DIDN'T EVEN SAY!!! i have NO interest in their relationship. never one time did i ask her friends about her OR him and their relationship. they always came to me with info about what was going on with her. why should i care about a relationship that has nothing to do with me. why should i care when she basically lied to me about their relationship the ENTIRE time she and i were supposedly "working things out"????? if anything I should have been the one going off. And then come to find out that their relationship was rocky the entire time?!?!?!?!?! what do i care for? when referring to my relationship with her now, i don't say her name at all. the only way that people that i have met within the past few months know who my ex is, is because they know her personally and she has said names. i don't say names specifically for that reason. i don't want people in my business. we have too many mutual friends and i would prefer things to be left unknown. i still don't know who this person is that said i said these things, but if you know me like you say you do, contact me and lets talk about it.we'll keep real and funky.


now that i have that off my chest i can move on to the fun stuff!


HALLOWEEN!

YO, no lie, i had the most fun ever this Halloween. i normally don't go out on halloween, but this year i was off and i didn't really have anything else to do and i was invited to a party so i decided to go. i dressed up as Allen from "The Hangover" i had the baby, the sling, the man purse *pause* the corny clothes and everything. in my opinion i had the best costume, because NO ONE else had anything like it. people were cartoon characters and entertainers, but i didn't see anyone that was original like mine. i took mad photos that night lol i didn't know a single person hardly at the beginning of the night, but by the time i left, i made a few new friends. even before i walked into the party people were already excited about my costume #shoutouttothehomieshay. this girl that was there made me this drink and i promise you guys, i've never gotten so drunk so fast in my life. lol like the beers i had, they had me good, but the that concoction had me GREAT!#shoutouttoladygaga lol my ex was there as well. i wasn't sure how that was going to go with what was said earlier, but it was cool. we didn't really talk much. we were cordial to one another. had a few laughs and that was it. drama free so that was nice.

there's one more thing that i want to discuss, but i have to wait until a few things develop, but when they do, you guys will be the first to know. i hope everyone that was able to vote today, voted. this is OUR generation. let's be responsible and take care of it. until next time folks

weekend update 10/21/10

hey everyone!!!

i know i said i was gonna be back on Monday with my weekend update but, i had a long weekend. it actually didn't end until Tuesday night. but i really didn't do much though. i was suppose to take a little trip this weekend but it didn't work out. my friend ended up not being able to come so i had to stay in Memphis all weekend for fall break. this is the first time in 2 or 3 years that i didn't go out of town for the break but i got some much needed rest. so what did i do you ask? well, I'm bout to tell ya lol

Friday night i went to Memphis madness for out basketball team. i had a lot of fun. i ended up with my Cre and her friends. it was easily 15 of them. yeah they were THAT deep. so we all sat together and joked and enjoyed ourselves. then we when to this fish place downtown and it was ok. not the biggest fried fish fan, unless its catfish from a black restaurant lol so after we ate we went to this bar that i totally forgot the name of now, but we had some shots and then Cre and i left. but i want to go back and discuss some of her friends. first off let me say that i felt a little out place because i was wearing my Memphis tigers t-shirt and they all had on like polo shirts and nice slacks and the girls were all dressed nice so I'm clearly the kid in this situation lol but when we were all eating, i found out a few things that some of the guys did for a living and they were VERY successful. as in $$$$$$$$ SUCCESSFUL. it was very inspiring though at the same time because these guys were only a year or 2 older than me. they were very down to earth and they said that they would invite me out with them the next time they went out. they reminded me a little of my crew. i want my boys and i to be successful and still be close at the same time. hopefully in the next few years when we are all done with school and well into our professions we can be that way. time will tell......


Saturday was a BAD day for me. like i don't even want to discuss it, because it still pisses me off about what happened. eventually i will have to talk about it because there will be some changes made for me personally very soon, so i will keep u posted. Sunday i went to church and relaxed. i didn't really do much besides work on Monday. Tuesday night i went out to see one of my followers on twitter perform at this place in midtown last night. i honestly didn't think i was going to enjoy myself as much as i did. Sean put on a great show!! me and my first family attended and a few other people that they knew came too and we all had a good time.there were these guys that were there and they KNEW EVERY WORD TO EVERY SONG Sean did. it must be a great feeling being a performer and seeing people singing and relating to the songs that you wrote. after the show, we all went to my favorite place......HUEY'S!!! lol Sean came too and we all kicked it and talked had a really good time. man i wish i had recorded some of the show so i could upload some of it to show u guys. I'm gonna purchase his album next week when i get paid and i will have one of his songs for the "Song of the day" post.

so that was my weekend, very productive, yet relaxing at that same time. oh and if anyone wants to recommend songs for me to post for the "song of the day" post, feel free to do so! i enjoy the feedback that you all give me and i thank you all for your comments. also shoutout to my new blogger followers! thank you for stopping by and reading my blog! well that's all i have to say for now. have a good one folks!

weekend update

hey everyone!!!


how was your weekend? did u you guys go out and enjoy yourselves?? My weekend was ok. i work went to church and watched a lot of football. lol i met one of my followers too saturday night. really nice girl. she was very different than any girl i've met in recent months. very humble and wholesome. good sense of humor as well. she mentioned something to me that was kinda personal about her and it kinda surprised me. it's been a while since i've met anyone like her but what really surprised me is how she told me guys treated her. that really bothered me because she is a GREAT girl that any guy should be honored to call "his" girl. But then she said something that really got my attention she said that she wasn't worried about them because they weren't on her level spiritually. and that really impressed me. i don't EVER hear anyone say things like that and i realized that i want to be around more people like that. more girls that stand for something and mean it. but anywho, i had a fun night.

oh and if you haven't listened to Bruno Mars album, i suggest you do. its good. you're listening to a song from the album now!

peace&love
