Trippin

Jameil got me a subscription to GQ for Christmas. Why haven't I received the last 2 issues?? I haven't seen Tatum and I went out and BOUGHT the 'MJ Was Cool' one. Word? That's how we do our patrons??


TRIPPIN.


I have a child in my class who not only spilled milk on his neighbor during lunch BUT ALSO used a straw to pour juice down his same neighbor's back. My questions:

1. where were the lunch monitors?
2. how do you let someone pour liquid on you TWICE?
3. what is wrong with this little boy!?!

TRIPPIN


My mom has let it be known that she will extend her vacay by a month. Now keep in mind, she's already been gone for 1/4 of the year, she's trying to make it a third. WOMAN! You have a husband and dog at home!!! You are NOT retired! Bring your A back!!

TRIPPIN


Halfway being nice and halfway being annoyed and wanting her to stop bothering the fluck out of me, I let my sister use my ID when she was home last week. Got to Orlando to check into the hotel when I realized the monkey trick still has my shit. Text her to send it ASAP and of course some bullish excuse was the reply.

TRIPPIN


I can't get another one online b/c I have an unpaid ticket i need to take care of 1st. Yes, I'm back in "misda what?" territory. One day, I'll get right.

That's all I have for you guys right now. I'll holla.

Photogs were ON IT!

Uh-Oh. This is why I say no flats after 7pm. Cause they might look like hers. You don't wanna win!!!

The next 3 are my FAVORITE shots from the party!! Those photogs were on it! These looks like some incriminating shots on GMO or FBY!!! LMAO!!!I need some funny captions...

Adei and her secret lover meet on a rooftop and share a passionate hug as he whispers something in her ear.

Adei stands coyly and smiles from ear-to-ear once she hears the good news! Stay tuned to find out what it is!

Adei and her unknown man rock out to their favorite song as he keeps her close! Spies at the event say they never left eachother's side and were in their own world!

OW!!! I love this shot!!!! I think they should play this song at their next party when I come thru...
Yes, shoes!!

FINALLY!


Can you guess why I'm cheesing so hard?? Cause I'm FINALLY here!! I am FINALLY in my new place! I am in a fully and fabulously furnished 1 bedroom condo!

I just took a shower and it felt so good.

I am about to warm up some food I made at S. Lakes and call it a night. Maybe I'll have a chocolate martini to help me sleep better.

Why I Love Saturday

good things happen on the day of my birth :-)

(The pics are in reverse order.)

Mike and his brother, stuntin in red and black

Flat shoes need to stay home after 7pm.

So the WHOLE crew missed the memo? Really white shorts?! You look like you're going shopping on So.Be!! And yellow, where are you going with that GINORMOUS satchel!? I see it's Gu.cci but still...

Me and the host. I wish the person taking the picture got a body shot so you could see my shoes. They were RED HAUTE!

The missed memo crew plus their GROWN homie with her thigh out!

The yellow really killed me. At least the Harvey Legger and turquoise dresses were evening appropro. and look at Kenny looking like Knee-Yo!!

The woman dancing with my brother shot me a look when I wanted to take a picture of just him. so I let her keep dancing with him.

Rooftop pics. The white is blinding.

Rev. "Till Def do us Part" Easley in the pink and black. I don't think men of the cloth had pinstripe cloth in mind.

FAMU Alums about to jump the broom.

Now for some reason, this white tux wedding was MUCH better than the one I went to in April. I guess M. Stewart Weddings (magazine) was right, people remember the reception and entertainment more than the actual wedding. This reception was done well. No caterers were walking around with raggedy t-shirts, handing out bottles of water; I didn't have to throw my own plate away, CHEFS and their staff were on hand for every whim (more champagne, please!), there was an actual cocktail hour followed by a sit down dinner... yeah. I wanted to ride but it was nice. My only qualm was the fake bouquets and bouts. But guess what? That was one cost they didn't have to worry about. And at the end of the day, they are married! Isn't that the goal? This wedding made me think about a lot of things I want and if they are really necessary.

Travel Away

In September, I will be flying into Atlanta for the 3rd time this year. It would be the 4th if we got our wedding invite in time...What is up with that city and me?! "They calling me..." Oh! Never mind that I spent New Year's there and flew out on the 3rd of January 2009...!! Wow.


I plan on catching a Dallas game in Dallas this year. Yep, I'm already looking into plane tickets. And while I'm there, you know I gotta check out the area.

I asked my dad if we're going to Ghana next summer. He said he wasn't sure. That was confirmation for me to start planning my summer 2010. Brazil, anyone? Me and the homie (Kitty) are speaking it into existence right now!

This Christmas break, Drew was talking about an all inclusive trip to DR, CR, or Mexico. Sounds like a plan! and if that doesn't happen, me and the homie (Kitty, of course) are talking Vegas. Man, I've been wanting to go since Summer 2002. Dad was hating, talking about, "You and Mari (homegirl) are too young to be out there by yourselves." BOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Now everyone has jumped on the Vegas wagon and has been there except me, *hmph*

Since I will not be doing FAM's Homecoming this year (last year was WACK), I was thinking about hitting up another HBCU's. I was told that Hampton, Spelhouse, Clark (?), and Howard all have theirs the same weekend. Oh yeah, throw FAM into that mix. Wow. I don't want ALL the powerhouse HBCU's to have it on the same weekend!!! That's no fun!! I will NOT do Spelhouse or Clark cause then I might as well get it over with and move to Atlanta. Now it's a battle of the HU's... duh Duh DUH! *to be continued, in ominous narrator voice*

I want to go to Montana. For no particular reason. I just like the way it sounds.

I have to go to SXSW this year. My body and soul was hurting last year. I peeped that joint when I went to Austin in 2005 and last year, everybody and they momma was there as if it was an NBA all-star game. I couldn't go to the smoking section for a while cause I was filled with jealousy. yeah, I said it. Ghost, Tip, ALL MY FAVORITE RAPPERS WERE THERE! WAAAAAAH!!! It was like Dave Shappelle's Block Party :-( Daaaaaaaaaaahh!!!

I really need to get a Delta sky miles account. I used to fly US Air all the time... SPEAKING OF WHICH... I NEED TO REDEEM MY MILES!!


Okay y'all, I'm out to move some more things. And I think I need another shoes away thing. Oh yeah, those things are raggedy. waaaaay too flimsy. But, I guess they get the job done. Just not as neat/structured as I thought they would be.

Nuptial Updates *updated*

1.

Tomorrow, I'll be attending the wedding of a person I don't like. He's my brother's best friend and he's a neighbor. I am going ONLY b/c the groomsmen are wearing white tuxes. You know how much I love a white tux wedding!

There is irony in the previous statement. I've come to hate white tuxes so much that I love seeing them cause their ghetto fabulousness make me squirm with snobby fashionista glee.

Yeah, all that.

So yeah, 'men are wearing white and brown, 'maids are wearing brown dresses with pink sashes, bride is wearing white with pink sash and the groom is wearing white with pink vest/tie.

I.can't.wait.


2.

Remember that August wedding I haven't gotten an invite for? Godmom called today to ask for my address so I can get mine!!! Ummm, she's getting married the last week in August and you're just now asking for my addy? Well, it turns out, since we're unlisted in the phone book, the bride-to-be's aunt couldn't find our address to send us one. It took her this long to call someone who knows our phone number to get our addy!! Argh!! I found out the wedding is in Atlanta... at little upset about that cause she was born and raised here so why not have the wedding in your hometown? And your dad is an elder in one of the oldest baptist churches in West Palm? Well, whatever floats her boat.


3.
Drew is turning 30 next July. The plan was to be married before his 30th birthday but last night, I realized, "What's the rush?" I will be living by myself for the 1st time ever and if I like it, I may want to do it for another year. In another state. Yeah, TX is still on my mind HARD so I think... I will be there next school year. Maybe next two school years. we shall see :-)

4.
All the wedding and engagement updates on FB have been replaced with baby showers. Everyone born in 1982 has spawned sometime in the past 6 months or will have multiplied within the next 6 months. I just don't want my eggs to dry up before I finish doing me. I will be sad if there can't be any mini Me's :-(

UPDATE: I spoke too soon. Just saw my best friend all thru elementary and middle school is now engaged.

I'm not a Hater...

I'm a cynical hater.


*

So my younger sister, my 19 y.o. sister has an album on FB called "Impatient Little African Girl + Webcam + Lost Pics = [Mini Me]

first of all, the name of that album is too long.

secondly, I went thru all 29 pics of solo shots of her sitting in front of a web camera. I'm not sure if it was done on a mac...nevermind, I know it wasn't. Anyway, being the big sister I am, I left some comments.

In what I think was supposed to be her 'swanky' head shot, I said,
"Is there an unlike option on here?"

In the next one, she's making the fish face (when you pucker the sides of your mouth in) and I said,
"nope"

The next shot, she's looking up and captioned the photo, "Aww, My Little African Girl" I retorted,
"She's so poetic"

The "sexy" face shot where she has one eyebrow raised, I said
"That's the sexy face, isn't it? You see that raised eyebrow"

*lol right now*

By the 18th picture, she has some top model handsy pose... I had a field day.
"I wish I had two more hands so I can give this one 4 thumbs down"

By now, she's had it with me and comes with,
"Ummm, you really need to get a life"
"Hmm, I think I will sit in front of a camera and take hella pics of myself. That sounds like a good life"
"Or maybe I was bored and was waiting for Ley so I was killing time. What's your excuse?"
"1. I don't have an album with 29 pics of myself. 2. Whatever, Ms. "My life is so full cause I take tons of amateur pics of myself"
"Ms. I have nothing better to do that to be a cynical hater"

Good comeback, Mini Me.

African Daddy

I already posted how it went when I told my dad I'm moving. That was a little over a week ago. Well Monday (I think), he actually "put his foot down" and said in an African Daddy Voice,

"I DON'T want you to move"

*snickering now. it wasn't funny then*

I rolled my eyes (not facing him of course) and asked, "Why not, Dad?"

SIDENOTE: when he's cool, he's Pops. When he's trippin, he's Dad.

"Cause there is no need for you to move. Just give it one more ye-."

and then I went off.

"ONE MORE YEAR?!!? THAT'S THE LAST THING I WANT TO HEAR!!! ONE MORE YEAR WILL GO BY AND GUESS WHAT? I'LL BE 40 WONDERING WHERE THE TIME WENT AND WHAT I DID WITH MY LIFE! ONE MORE YEAR IS THE LAST THING I EVER WANT TO HEAR CAUSE THAT MEANS I'M NOT HAPPY BUT WILL SETTLE... FOR ONE MORE YEAR! I'M OVER THAT YEAR ALREADY! IT'S BEEN THREE MORE YEARS! NO!"

I think I scared him. he had both hands in the air with the, "ok ok ok okaaaaay"

Yeah nigga, you hit a sore spot... one more year. Chile, boo.


This morning, for whatever reason, he asked me,
"Where are all your clothes?"
"At my new place"
"Where is it?"
"In West Palm Beach"
"When are you moving in?"
"Whenever"
"Who's your roommate?"
"Don't have one"
"Alright"

I think his feelings are hurt. I think he's taking it personally. I think he's offended that I would be in the same city as but not live with my parents. This isn't Ghana. It's okay for your daughter to leave the house and not jump straight into her husband's home. He was all quiet this morning... he is really hurt that I don't want to be here anymore. oh! Here's another convo

"So, did you register for grad school at UAF?"
"Nope."
"Why not? I said I'll help you"
"Cause I don't plan on being her for the two years it'll take to complete my degree"
"And where are you going?"
"I don't really know but I know this is my last year in West Palm Beach. I've been here 2 years too many"
"What is that supposed to mean?"
"It means I don't want to be in the same place I grew up. It means I am a bit resentful that came down here and I am STILL here. It means that I will NOT be here next year"

then he came with the..

"Well, that's even more reason to stay home and save your money so you can move wherever you want next year"
"Not happening. I'm out"

I so didn't expect this from him. now watch Lyds be the cool one about it, when she finally gets back from Ghana!
