***Late Admin Note***
My submission for the blogger fantasy is up at Rants of a Wild Child. I kept it calmer than I usually would have out of respect … but … I had to do it. Its all in fun.
**********************
Mr. FAQs
- I really have to work on my patience.
- Riddle me this: Its 48 degrees and raining and your in public…why do you think its ok to wear a long sleeve one-piece swimsuit to the club? I blame Beyonce. (wonder if that was a West Coast reader).
- The world is too small.
- I need to get away from LA. At least in the D/M/V getting “away” was cheaper and much more convenient.
- One week til Christmas, pretty excited to go home (if only I could find a flight that works) to see fam, friends and to grub.
- For whatever reason females think its acceptable to say anything to me and expect to not get their feelings hurt in return…WRONG!
- Ended the week with a nice little lunch date. Mr. FAQs got a second chance, gonna try and not be the one to F it up this time.
These rantings bring me joy.lol.
- My work ethic at work was extremely low this week. Struggled to focus primarily cuz the job sucks and I’m in holiday mode. Went from finishin as top producer every week to feeble Slim. Fortunately that never happens in the bedroom even though I don’t necessarily finish on top.
- My job had a holiday anonymous gift swap (Yankee Swap) and I refused to participate cuz I had to shell out over 40 bux in gifts for my bosses. F*ck anybody else. Simple as that. Someone called me the Grinch. I called them racist. Made it awkward for everybody.
- I dropped 5 pounds over the last couple weeks. Healthy Slim is preparing for a sloppy holiday. Makin that trip to Upstate NY next week to see moms. I’m somewhat mixed about this Xmas because it’s the first without Pops. Sucks. A lot.
- I’m tired of people talkin about the approaching storms and snow flakes makin comments like “we’re gonna get 6 to 9 inches!”
- I have a dirty mind and it takes a tremendous amount of restraint to not make suggestive comments about my shoe size. Other than that, I’m good.
SBM (The Originator … None Greater)
- I have no idea why … but I am becoming prone to random fits of arrogance. I have no idea why I have started feeling myself … but I don’t like it. While no one here will believe me … I have tradionatlly been a very humble individual. This is so out of my character.
- Man … I got to do something about work. I just not happy … *sigh*.
- I really gotta get out of DC … if not just temporarily. Luckily … my friend called me and told me he wanted to go to ATL for New Years … so … SBM will be bringing in the New Years in the “A”. And while my dollars might not drop the same time as the “Atlanta Peach” … they will be falling on some gyrating ridonkulous stripper asses at some point while I’m down there. For a little under a week … I am going to finally forget the word recession.
- So I’m starting to realize I’m more of a freak than I realized. I had a conversationg with someone who I thought had me beat hands down … and she dared called me more of a freak. Then I found myself explaining to someone how anal beads work (don’t ask) … only to find out they didn’t know. I thought that was common knowledge. This is gonna make finding Mrs. SBM that much harder … *sigh*.
- As a result of my trip to ATL … I’m looking for a good deal on a hotel. If you have anything for me … please feel free to help your boy out with an email at sbm@singleblackmale.net.
- I am attempting to “give up the internet” while at work. By this I mean … don’t open my web browser all day. No more visiting the 80 million blogs I love to read, can’t obsess over my own site anymore … and no more IM (I’m really gonna miss IM). *triple sigh* … the mess I do for those people.
- I have become slightly obsessed with Korn’s Chopped & Screwed Album . It’s no secret I love Chopped & Screwed music … and I have listened to a bit of alternative … but I swear I’ve listened to it almost once a day at work.
- I don’t like the cold … and I’m anxiously awaiting for it to get warm again.
We’re good … your turn
RANT!
Greetings,
This is the 3am edition (Never Sleep cuz sleep is the cousin of death), here are some rantings for the week
- Live Christmas Trees are the worst, people who sale them are no worse than the crack dealers and 3 card hustlers
-Viva La Plastic Trees
-Is stringing Christmas Lights a part of the Bachelors Code?
-2009, where are you at?
-Blue Tin cookies are the gift that keeps on giving….
Everyone enjoy your weekend and Happy Holidays
"Riddle me this: Its 48 degrees and raining and your in public…why do you think its ok to wear a long sleeve one-piece swimsuit to the club? I blame Beyonce. (wonder if that was a West Coast reader). "
Died here. Severe FASHION crime committed.
"I’m tired of people talkin about the approaching storms and snow flakes makin comments like “we’re gonna get 6 to 9 inches!” "
Agree with this… sick of complaining folks. PERIOD.
"I don’t like the cold … and I’m anxiously awaiting for it to get warm again. "
I validate this.
My Rants:
1. Saw Tenderoni last night… had to tell him he wasn't gettin any. He took it pretty well… thinkin' it'll be ok.
2. It's raining and it's pouring right now and I'm supposed to go out tonight. (please make it stop!)
3. Thinking about cookin for the kid even though I'm thinkin it goes against the Yaya code.
4. I have to go to the mall this weekend to pick out gifts for these kids (instead of giving gifts to eachother, my family is "adopting" these kids to spoil).. thing is, it's almost the deadline and I hate shopping.
5. I want to get some rest this weekend, I've been rippin and running for the last two…
SBM
Don't give up work internet, it's a healthy way to not snap on somebody well at least that's why I do it. Or at lest come to my site, I need those impressions, lol.
- The rain today sucks, I feel like it ruined my happy Friday mentality.
- I hope Christmas is good this year, flying back home to be with loved ones
- I can't wait to get out of work today, I think I'm allergic to this place
Happy Friday!!! My only rant is that I have been freezing my butt off all week in TEXAS and it's finally warming up again. Yay 75 degree winter!!!
SBM you're a better man than me.
If I want to see strippers I just turn on Youtube or some other site and throw dollars at my screen. The DJ doesn't keep badgering me to "get some 1's" and that mean old lady that has been working there for 20 yrs (and probably a former stripper herself) isn't lookin at me side ways for not tippin her for bringing a drink.
My rants are simple today:
– My condominium association is the 4th Reich.
– Last day at work for 2 weeks…now time to do nothing
– I can't wait to see my nephews on Xmas…those little dudes crack me up.
– With all the things going wrong, I'm hoping that something will go right by 2nd Qtr of next year.
– I've got to get back into spinning my wax.
– Souls of Mischief's new single "Tour Stories" is off the meat rack!
good morning everyone!
my grati/rants are as follows:
- As some of u may know they found my sister. and now she's on the run from the police. all this drama came out abt some money and a whole bunch of bs. yes I'm glad she's alive but I can't belive she would ever be this selfish. the cops tossed my house tapped my phone and made me take lie detector test! For what? and all she had to say she was that she was on the run? instead of making it seem like she got kidnapped? its str8 bull for real she had hundreds of people worried sick.
she left her son up here n ish…im so pissed right now. nuff said.
- I'm alive. ill be 28 in 5 days and I'm blessed to be healthy and happy
- I think exes have S.E.D. they steady calling trying to get back.
-im so happy I'm getting domesticated! I'm cooking from scratch and learning all new things!
I think I want a boyfriend…
oh and I still didn't hear back from the publisher…and I'm an impatient heffer
I ain't got no rants…never do…really…positivity is treatin me nice.
Oh wait
SBM you ain't got no reason to arrogant! Let's call it confident…it's all about connotation here
FAQs-YAY for going home.
Slim-I do like the grinch/racist thing. I'd've said the same damned thing…
Oh I have enjoyed doing blog secret santa!
@Akua: I'm glad they found your sister and she is alive… WOW girl.. don't let that get u down… She's the one who f'd up… don't let it consume u.
"Someone called me the Grinch. I called them racist. Made it awkward for everybody."
Best one-up to a group of
fake liberalcontemporary 2520s EVAH.My rants:
- I'm still experiencing the pangs in my heart when I learn that Chicago Public Schools are still open and Catholic and Private schools are closed. I remember the disappointment on my younger-version face when I saw that my school was open, but the school RIGHT UP THE HILL was closed, just because it was "private". I feel for the CPS kids across my city.
- So, it didn't end up being that 10 inches crap everyone was talking about yesterday, but more slush/icy type snow…which is way worse and messier, IMO. Cars zooming pass, splashing water on pedestrians when they know they shouldn't be driving that fast anyway in this weather. And yes, nine times outta then, it's cab drivers.
- I just realized how soon Christmas is approaching. Wow. Didn't even wrap my presents yet. I'll probably end up doing it Monday or Tuesday evening.
- Even though this weather is messy and annoying, I'm still trying to keep a smile on my face. It really does help, like they say.
@nicki: thanx for the positive words sis.
@sbm
"I don’t like the cold … and I’m anxiously awaiting for it to get warm again."
What fraternity are you in? lol.

~my pants are fitting looser and i'm look better in (and out) of my clothes… even got the triple look from the COO, so go me!
~i've been sick as a dog this week and happy that it's clearing up because today's my last day in the office and i can't be sick on vacay!
~this will be the first christmas that i'm spending away from my family and i'm a lil more then sad about it.
~because i'm a momma's girl, i'm goin to holla at her (the wise one who lives by "drink, smoke, gamble and have fun") this weekend in myrtle beach
~i begin a much needed 2 week vacation at 5:30 pm today
~the past 2 weeks work of trying to get erotic stories finally came to a close today on my own blog
~i have a deep and profound love for my fellow bloggers and twitters…
i'm done!
Mad I thought I won $125.00 in the Football Pool at work, only to be told I didn’t…they suck…
**Mad at stupid DC weather…now I'm sick…
**Still haven’t had any sex, I have options…but I don’t want those
**9 Days till I’m in Jamaica…maybe I’ll get my groove back
**Still hate my job, but love my checks…(gotta stop goofing off at work)
**Mad everyone at work keeps getting me nice gifts…now that means I have to go and be thoughtful…so i won’t look cheap….right??? I was just gonna make everyone cookies…but I guess I have to step it up a notch
My work ethic at work was extremely low this week. Struggled to focus primarily cuz the job sucks and I’m in holiday mode. Went from finishin as top producer every week to feeble Slim. Fortunately that never happens in the bedroom even though I don’t necessarily finish on top.
—I've been this way going on two years now—–
The world is too small.
—I've been confined to the east coast of America, it's small but I haven't had a chance to explore——
I decided to be a wise guy and tell my family lets do Christmas at my house… I think I may have been tipsy. On Monday my students ask to do a count down to Christmas. I didn't realize Christmas was next Thrursday and I have NOTHING.
-I don't like grocery shopping near the holidays bc everyone is in there and kids are running a muck
-I have to clean my apt. and hide all kinds of crap from my family
-The A.P. of my department is getting on my damn nerves!
-I still haven't finished my Christmas shopping
@ DC Dating Diva…
Sheesh…and they try to peg me with being negative…
U are welcome Akua.. Keep smiling.
Hmmm… rants… let's see…
- I can't decide what Christmas gift to give the guy I've been kicking it with this year. An 8-bottle wine cooler, fresh sunglasses, a charitable donation in his name???
- I just realized in the past week without my son I haven't had any breast pain. Guess that tells me not to let the lil guy stress me out.
- I just purchased two websites!!! WTH was I thinking… they were having a sale, might as well do it now since I was going to anyway.
Not really rants, semi-good week.
@ DC Dating Diva: You're not cheap or being a scrooge. My co-workers are getting me stuff too or at least a card. I don't care much for these broads, so call me Ms. Scrooge.
~went to my car this morning, only to find out it was covered with a 1 inch layer of ice…spent about fifteen minutes trying to break the ice
~forgot about the office potluck today, and had to stop by the grocery store to pick up my contribution (rolls, because i don't cook)
~called my boss' secretary to let her know i would be late, left a voicemail, only to find out no one was here yet when i got in, so i basically told on myself
~got outvoted on NYE plans…i want to do a party at the house…my roommates want to go to this party thats 900 a table for ten people with a fifth of vodka, and nothing else to drink
~my puppy is sick…my mom is puppysitting and says she thinks he ate a piece of plastic
but at least it's friday, and i'm having a holiday party with my line sisters tonight
@Mr Faq's Indeed the world is too small.
@Slim Jackson It's not all in the shoe size – in case you didnt get the memo. LMAO!
@SBM Personally, I think the "fits of feeling [your]self" are you really being who you already are.. Sans the shyness.
But who am I – I haven't blogged in over a week. *smh
Bam.
@ CPT Callamity – maybe I'd be in a better mood if I had something that starts with a S and ends with an X…but I did look on the bright side…I'll be in Jam-rock in 9 days!!!!
@Reign – my office is small with 14 people, and I'm basically the only ethnic minority…soooo, hmmm, if I don't get them anything…..I'll be "that one"…
@DCDatingAdventures
Good, say what's up to Dexter for me. He's waiting for you…
@missjess
Dontcha hate "bottle service?" That's why I'm going to need you ladies to step up your concealment game and smuggle a fifth in those overpriced purses of yours…I'll even do you the honor of creating a spigot for dispensing.
1. Can't wait till I'm up and outta the plantation at 5.
2. I'm the only "sista" at my job…..Yes I know, Jesus take the wheel.
3. I'm excited about Christmas…but wish a certain someone was still here on earth.
4. "Code 10…Man Down..And its over now!!!!"-Frankie ( Keyshia Coles Mother…..lawd-Nuff Said.
5. What I really need: something long, hard and strong. Been awhile since its just been the SHIT! The wackness I have received lately is just down right depressing. Even the ones you may think can make it happen…………..um no. Its like a wolf in sheeps clothing…I hate being bamboozled!
6. Not trying to sweat myself to hard: but my hair and makeup have been like on celeb status this week…. Just saying
I hope everyone has a great weekend and happy holidays!!!!
my rants…
all yall complainin about rain… come get some snow
i need my own place and i need a new car. yeah not happenin soon enough
imma leave it at that. tryin to stay positive. tryin.
@Bam
Referencing my shoe size is better than referencing the member despite the memo.lol.
Hmm rants…
Well unlike everyone else I have absolutely no rants about the weather as GA has been having aboslutely gorgeous mid-spring like weather only a few days from the first day of winter. Too bad GA weather is capricious. It's going to be freezing by Sunday. Crap!
Real Rants
- Don't know why I had a total case of the "overanalyzing blues" when the guy that I have been dating for two months just stopped showering me with attention for a couple of days. By the time he got back to normal after two days, I had already cried four times over his "probable new girl." It's really not that deep; we've only kissed twice and we are not even official yet. I promised myself that I would never be the needy-type and I need to check myself before I wreck myself.
-Got straight A's, but I hate grad school and I hate the fact that I am getting closer to applying to med school. *sigh* This is not my life's desire. This is my parents' desire.
-I wish everyone in the South didn't have dreads, even my guy does. I also wish guys didn't dye the tips of their dreads shades of blonde, red, and brown. New Hair Trend Please!
-Lastly, why am I all of the sudden getting more hollas than normal now that I may potentially be headed for a relationship? Do men just sniff out unavailability and consider it a worthy challenge?
Slim: "Someone called me the Grinch. I called them racist. Made it awkward for everybody."
Not nice or productive. Funny perhaps, but not nice. I assume this person was white, and you calling them racist for the sake of well, nothing, just further denigrates the relationship between those who are shades of brown and those who are not.
Cheekie: "Best one-up to a group of fake liberal contemporary 2520s EVAH."
Referring to someone as 2520, YT, whitey, etc. (even if on a predomintly black reader blog) still shows the lack of respect for the individual person. No one likes to be judged based on the actions of the few. Evil comes in all colors.
