Another good week … but I’m tired and intoxicated … so don’t expect a 10 page rant about how great life is.
- I went to a probate at my alma mater. It made me feel old to be there, not know anyone, and actually think back to my probate. Sigh … I miss college.
- Met someone else … lets see what happens.
- I finally came up with what I think might be a million dollar idea. I mean something I need to prototype, write a business plan for, and start shopping for VC money. Lets see what I do with it.
- I cut back drinking this week … so tonight hit me harder than it usually would. Now I’m so so tired.
- Weekend looks like it might be fun … looking forward to it. My cousin should be coming to the area. She got some bad friends too … (yeah … I know your reading this!).
- Finally made it out to a happy hour. Its been a minute … but it felt good. I will probably be caught out and about in the DC Happy Hour scene from now on … hopefully.
- The first writer to join the SBM team (which was just me) premiered this week and I want everyone to welcome Slim Jackson. We have another writer who will be premiering next week … so look out.
- Next week is Thanksgiving. I’m taking a break from work … so don’t expect the same posting schedule. It’s vacation!
OK … I’m still doing work and I’m tired. I’m done … go head and let em hear ya speak.
RANT!
"She got some bad friends too … (yeah … I know your reading this!)."
Beautiful women roll in packs
btw, no hook-ups! I've decreed it woman's law.
u just meeting ppl left and right, ain't ya ninja? meanwhile my dating pool is drying up. i think it's the weather – ppl tryna get snuggled up for the winter.
SBM i feel like you should be angrier… ok, so maybe i'm just pushing my feelings off on you and i'm the angry one…
i mean, y cut back on drinking? no one likes a quitter… i say hit that bottle hard, harder then u normally do… hmm, i think i'm doing it again… it's me that wants to hit the bottle hard and not be considered a quitter… :-p
Sounds like a good week, chief.

ill be back…
1. My dating pool has been dried up but I'm trying to throw some drops on the sand. Amazing that all the married dudes I know have ass thrown at them constantly…
2. I'm going to buy a fake wedding ring and rock it since it's such a chick magnet.
3. Damn…I remember last time I tried to quit cold turkey. Then I remembered I still had beer in the fridge…so much for that.
4. Sad thing is, I'd have to have a substitute for the thing that I quit, which would probably be worse than what I quit in the first place.
5. It's an aight week though…my homie from college is coming into town and tomorrow I go to an engagement dinner. I might hit up a club in Bethesda to try my hand.
6. Wish I had the drive to start bloggin again
@akua
"so I made the “man catcher” meal for my “friend” he’s soo falling for me..but I think I’m over it"
lol….i've been informed that they aware when we do this.
"I found a good deal on a wii bundle for the boys for christmas"
what's the deal…cuz i wanna know how much to sell mine's for.
"im trying to sell some of my purses to make some extra holiday cash..so sad to see them go"

@SBM

alcohol makes you fat buddy.

Its freezing ass cold in my office and this draft is making me shiver
I am supposed to do happy hour tonite with my coworkers. Her bday was tuesday. Im looking forward to it..even though im not my cutest
@cuzzo: what does your wii come with? I found the wii 2 nunchucks 2 remotes and 2 games for 300/ but if u have around the same amount of stuff with yours i's rather give my money to someone I'm cool with….
- I'm sure he knew I pulled out all the stops. he just talks to much for me..SHUT UP!! I'm over it..lol
- I have 2 dooney's/ a fendi / and a louie all authentic. there isn't a buffalo exchange here. I have 1 bag on ebay and the rest on craigslist…if u wanna see pics let me know!!
@akua
Just make sure that sorority doesn't find out you wanna be a member via this site…and I'm curious as to which one cuz I'm a Greek fellow.
@CPT
The fake wedding ring concept is hilarious. Def would work.
My Rant:
It's brick sickles cold outside and I hate it!
I don't feel like speaking too people with broken accents today!
My wife left me and took the kids!
Ok, so maybe not the last one.
@slim jackson: I'm partial to red if u know what I mean
@akua
I don't know exactly what I have like the names of the games off the top of my head…i have the console, 2 nunchucks, 2 controllers, 3 games (one is wii sports which has 5 games on it) and wii fit console and disc.
email me: anissawyre@yahoo.com about the bags and i can give u more detail about the exact games i have when i get home later.
@true
Your alternator might be shot and if that's the case it will cost you but…you can always hit the junkyard depending on what it is. Okay, enough of my free car advice.
@Slim
I've been talking about doing it for a while. I'm sick and tired of being damn near the only single dude in my crew, yet married guys I know are always telling me about new freaks/getting taken off-guard/bold women and wild sexual escapades. How does this work?
good luck on your million dollar idea, and i wish i had your luck at meeting dudes… but you're possibly more social than I am.
@cuzzo: "meanwhile my dating pool is drying up. i think it’s the weather – ppl tryna get snuggled up for the winter."
you are right about that one, try to hold on to little connection i have now.
not many rants for me…
- my jobs sucks, and i'm having a hard time wrapping my mind around the two businesses i'm trying to jumpstart… i have no patience.
- i went to a club last night and feel old as f*ck even though i'm only twenty5.
- it's freaking cold here in texas! and when i say cold i mean high of 51. not ready for winter.
stay blessed
@reign
mmhmmm, a sista gotta leave the d@mn state for some love from the fellas. i'm going to atl in a few weeks.
@cuzzo .. I just emailed u
@akua
got it…replied
Hey good luck with the million dollar idea….I mean that's how a million dollars is made. It beings with an simple idea and a plan…. so stick with it and make it happen.
1. I'll be moving back to Chicago next month (I don't know if that's a rant or a rave…)
2. Going out tonite, can't wait to hit the grey goose.
3. I dropped my cell phone in a sink full of water yesterday, and it works perfectly fine today. Reason #1 why I will never be without a Nokia phone. This is my third Nokia phone and I've been exceptionally satisfied with and grateful for each of them. They are more than durable.
4. Shout out to Popeye's for the new chicken bowl.
CPT Callamity, I love matchmaking, I believe it's good karma. And I love good blind date stories. I know some beautiful single women in quite a few cities (mostly only east of the Mississippi River though). Interested?
SBM-good luck with the idea. Use your Turkey vacation to start on your prototype.
-My main laptop's hard drive died this week so i'm using the one i use for iTunes dl music and all kinds of other junk
- i'm excited for Thanksgiving and seeing my hilarious family… is my family the only 1 that doesn't have alcohol and takes like 20mins for everyone to say what they're thankful for and then like 10 mins on grace? lol
-Life's pretty good
@ akua- i feel you on your leaning in greekdom
@akua
I've got a lot of purple/gold in my closet. And yes, I'm articulate and know how to type.
Slim Jackson: "I’ve got a lot of purple/gold in my closet."
*looks at watch and waits for angelbaby to show up* lol. This is usually the time when she or I drop into the blog and make really inconspicuous remarks.
@ whoever
what is the fascination with these orgs? why can't you just do the community service (or whatever it is they do) on ya own or along side with out the belittlement, abuse, and payment?
i think boils down to the network. but, i'm not about to do all that for some letters. I went to a PWI and the blk orgs were an attrocious example – which is why i can't subscribe to the greek of it all.
and another thing! i've heard that there are a lot of gay's in the frats? is this true? how do the orgs feel about this? aren't most of them christian-based?
@satya
"is my family the only 1 that doesn’t have alcohol"
alcohol at thanksgiving is normal? there's none at my fam's house.
@satya: our family doesn't have alcohol at any family dinner functions.
o ok. My cousins on the other side and some friends say they have alcohol. On my mom's side no such yhing. We toast with Martinelli's Apple Cider =)
@satya
". My cousins on the other side and some friends say they have alcohol."
that's just cuz they like to drink
they prolly get crunk at the baby chistening too.
Thanks CPT
Actually alternators are about 120..and I know someone who will put it in for 65 dollars
so its not that steep to fix
Im hoping its just the battery..i'm going to test that firs
*sigh*
I just want a new car
i only do the good gratitude stuff:
1. im grateful for life. ive said this before but the whole body is just amazing all the stuff its gotta do just to wake you up in the morning. wow.
2. good people who inspire me and encourage me to think differently about what i thought i knew.
3. opportunity where people see lack
4. perspective
5. family
i take nothing for granted. ever.
CPT…
Married men are a turn off to me
I think that women who mess around with them believe they are somehow "special" because they got a married man to cheat. Like they are so good/sexy/beautiful/charming that they can get a married man to cheat on their wife, and thats a boost to them…a sad one..but a boost none the lest
and the funny part is they aren't the only one the married man is cheating with.
I was out a couple weeks ago and sparked up a conversation with a married dude
he proceeded to tell me immediately he was married (not that I was interested) and that yes…I cheat on my wife
im like wtf
he goes on and on (okay..I was curious so I asked) about the multiple women he has cheated with, the multiple women he is sleeping with now and so on
he tells them he is married (this goes with your theory CPT about married men attracting women) he has even introduced these women as "friends" to his wife and they went along with it
He says his wife is good and there aren't problems, says he even treats her good (I guess in the general sense aside from cheating)
I almost threw up when he suggested we keep in touch
sorry buddy..I dont want you…ilk
this week..oo this week.
well i've been slaving away for a show that will be tonite i'm tired want to get it over with so me and my sorors can take over a Delta party that was not promoted properly.smh…more SGRHOs at a Delta party than Deltas what a thought..lol.
me and the boo got into it again, really hes just acting like a female and i can't take it anymore…
met someone who seems to have potential…lets see if he actually does…
i still dont know where i'm going for thanks giving..smh…no bueno
college life is starting to be at crunch time cuz finals are around that corner..
but thats it for me now time to go food hunting…
@Cuzzo: Stop hating …lol. Greek life isn't for everyone, and I don't knock anyone for not doing it … but its so much more than community service.
@Slim: Man … I brought a Que on board … sigh … don't remind me.
@SBM
ain't nobody "H" (waaaaay too overused) word! u ain't answer na'an one of my questions though…so what's so deep about it?
go head…u have the floor.
and what about the gays man….for real for real.
yeah i just typed a lot of ish and my dang cast hit some dang button on the keyboard and i lost it… that is my biggest rant right now i want this cast off NOW.
my other rants are…
i am trying to break up with my best friend of the last two years and its so hard b/c of many reasons but it needs to happen.
i miss my car. my dads car has NO pickup and i hate driving it. plus i spend a LOT of money on my car and it sucks to not be able to drive it.
i have a weekend full of celebrating but i am exhausted and worried it will interfere… i hope not…
i am broke.
yeah…
@true
Yep, it goes down like that. My buddy who works up stairs always updates me on his latest missions. Again, it's always the married dudes that gets down like that. I had a buddy in the Army that would tell women in the club "I cheat" and they would still give up the number. Always has amazed me.
I guess it also puts some truth into the saying that "she won't want you unless she knows someone else wants or has you."
@Fly—
I'm in the DC area so put an APB out for a brotha.
can any one at all tell me the hottest spots to happy hour
thanks
@CPT Callamity: I know absolutely no one in dc. but now that you mention it, are you renting out any rooms, couches, or air mattresses for the inauguration?
"can any one at all tell me the hottest spots to happy hour
thanks
"
i like indieblue..china town..it really depends on your scene and whats "hot to you". If Im feeling really home town chilly chill, I'll hit that spot next to the sports bar on the blvd (stone fish???)..before like 8 around their live band some nice guys are in there. Some of them are a little too young for my taste but their cool.I also like that place down there by union station.
This is all too hilarious.
Um…a Que and an Alpha. Man I would have to stand on SBM's shoulders to get away from Slim (a la my usual behaviour whenever Ques are near)
lol. The Greek comments are funny. Bare in mind I was just a regular dude before I mentioned the affiliation. No need to run now just cuz I mentioned the color scheme. That part isn't that deep.
As for those who feel Greekness is overrated and unnecessary, I'm assuming you're jaded because some fall out with friends or you got kicked at a party during a stroll line. I find these to be the most typical reasons to not like Greek life.lol.
Actually, check out this post I wrote:
http://www.threewaystotakeit.com/lovegreeks/
The tone is sarcasm before peeps get all willy nilly. Have a good weekend!
@Fly: i got a room for rent. havent posted it on Craigslist yet, but lt me know if your interested.
@Comeback: Stonefish … really. I wouldn't have suspected you to be anywhere near the blvd. Now I'm really afraid of seeing you in real life …
@True: I feel like I have an idea of your crowd. Largo has a few spots that might fit u. Jaspers and Sideline come to mind. Park and K street is a boughier (read: my) type of crowd. Lotus got an open bar …
Man I guess I might come off different but here it is..
My mom has passed and pops is (very estranged) decided to move from Rhode Island to two hours south of Atl I tried to establish a connection with him TEN yrs ago…no dice its not that "we aint talking" its he doesnt return calls so whatever kid..a brother tried…
I say that to say that all I care about for the holiday (all of em yea including Christmas) is the DAY OFF-with no kids and no fam I love it-free to do what I want. Some may think its sad and all-HELL NO. I got to cut five shows by the end of Dec I dont need a week of drive this cuz here and that one there, in fact I dont know most of my fam-havent seen em since the 80's and most of us are in NYC.
I am just glad that I am in the position I am in…not too many dudes from Broooklyns East New York section drop out of high school and still get their college degree and then go and start a business to boot…its like when Kanye said "we wasnt supposed to make it pass 25 jokes on you we still alive", that was for guys like me.
This week was another one of those "if I wasnt in film my life would suck" weeks
My boy doing a bid told me in PA where he locked up they trying to abolish parole and when will he be up? 2012, Obama's re-election yr.
With me I got one foot in the professional world and one foot in the hood…
Wait time out… Temps you're from the East? Holla i'm from the East too and have defied a few statistics myself
@Satya…yea I live across Linden Blvd…let em know The East is whatver is the f-ed hood in your city..thats The East and The Ville!!!…only white people you see is Cops, Firefighters and Teachers!!! We aint Harlem or Bed Stuy.
