Slim Jackson
- This week got off to a bad start. Woke up on Monday feelin’ like I had the Plague. Was bed-ridden into the afternoon, then went out to my car and realized it was the victim of a hit and run. I was wondering if I had bad Karma or who went to see the Haitian voo doo priest about me.
- After an embarrassing loss a couple weeks ago, my basketball team bounced back to defeat an army of athletic (black) basketball players with the selfishness of Stephon Marbury. I was good for 8 points and 15 rebounds. Just need to dunk on someone and I’ll retire. This victory started to turn my week around…sorta.
- I love havin’ people in my life who acknowledge my capabilities and passions. Definitely makes me smile.
- I need to write and record another song/verse for my website. If I didn’t have the Avian Bird Flu this week, it’d be done already.
- Looks like I have a project for this weekend!
- With that said, I’m already in weekend mode. Catch everybody on the flipside.
Mr. FAQs
- So Mr.FAQs got a new job. Not feeling the commute but am feeling the increase in pay and security. Add that to the fact that its a “casual” work environment i.e. – wear what the hell you want, and it might not be so bad.
- That being said, I’m still holding out for something better and if that means out of LA, so be it….
- I’ve come to the conclusion that I have am attracted to younger women. Not on a “when you say teenagers, how old are we talking” tip like R. Kelly (although I do have a nickname related to him, wasn’t my fault tho and I never touched her!), but in the sense that young ladies often seem more seasoned than they are, but nothing illegal.
- Speaking of age, in the matter of one week two chicks guessed I was 34 while another told me “you look like a kid with facial hair.” Both can be compliments right?
- I have the attention span of a 5 year old….with everything.
- I have an anger management/temper problem. And I got banned from popular LA eatery and had the cops called. But that was provoked anger. I worry about others safety sometimes.
SBM
- Uh … SBM is tired. Been a long week … looking forward to the weekend … should really lift his spirits.
- Yes … he is doing the third person again.
- SBM is almost never on twitter anymore. He misses his twitter fam. Its his job … the man still loves ya’ll.
- It seems as if SBM is becoming complacent … a man without focus. This is a f*cking disaster and will be corrected immediately.
- Everyone have a good ass weekend … from me (back to first person) … The SBM
Your turn … RANT
1. I changed my major back to Criminal Justice this week (I cannot imagine making myself go to grad school at this point).
2. Upon changing my major, I found out the two classes I was taking would not count. So I switched…. but of course there are problems with my switch… but I'm not gonnna complain. The LAWD will work this out for me.
3. Men on Internet dating websites are nuts. I've only done it for 3 weeks, but I'm closing my account. Screw this. I can find nuts for free, in real life.
4. I miss babies and little kids… someone around me needs to get pregnant soon (maybe I should just go volunteer somewhere?)
5. I need my sunshine and blue skies back. When is spring a-comin?
Have a good weekend all.
My rant for the week can't be displayed in a public forum (maybe if I logged on anonymously I would…but I don't feel like it…so I'll keep my rant for my offline friends I guess
* This crazy weather has been messing up my workout schedule..hopefully it will be warmer this weekend
* The printer in the office keeps jamming and the company is too cheap to get a new one so I have to spend (waste) at least 10 minutes almost every time I try to print something to get it to actually print
* People annoy me
@ MrFAQs: I'm going to pray for you… I have a 4yr with ASD and I can't imagine a grown man being that hype. Maybe you can pass some of that energy over here.
~ It's been a hellava long week… so family and personal issues have arisen and I'm stressed. My left eye has been twitching since Monday. But in hard times it reminds you who is truly there for you, dude has been my rock and it is greatly appreciated.
~ I've gotten a new hobby. I learned HTML, XHTML, and a lil CSS last Saturday. Just posted on W3 and went at it. Created my first brush in C3 and my web venture is on its way. Dude is going to give me Dreamweaver and Illustrater!!! I'm so excited. I have the trail version now and love it.
~ Why did three guys I use to talk to all get at me this week??? One just "realized" we haven't seen eachother in some months, another keeps dropping texts, and another randomly texted about a fish joint I use to take him to for like an hour. It is b/c Single Awareness Day is on the horizon??? Not biting.
~ I was recommended for a promotion this week at work. Uber excited. Been here 2 1/2 yrs and was planning on jumping ship this summer. I still am but now I can ask for more at my next jig.
~ Two more classes to go until I get my MBA!! Graduate in June… I can ask for even more money LMAO!
Okay, had a lot this week good and bad. smooches to all, enjoy your weekend!
Less rants than usual for the ole CPT:
1. Damn Verizon Fios was out this morning (internet at least). Looks like I'll be making one of my angry customer calls whilst convincing them to knock a few dollars of my first bill.
2. I'm back in my gangster again. I finally figured out the formula to getting what I want while pissing people off, while making them love me all the same…*devilish grin*
SBM forgot to talk about the coldness of DC. 19 degrees yesterday morning … 27 degrees today … its too much for him.

Hey SBM fam,
- This warmer weather (well, compared to freezing) comin' up in the Chi is throwin' me for a loop. Talkin' 'bout 52 degrees tomorrow. I can't even remember what warm outside even feels like. Them 2520s are gonna CLOWN with their shorts and everything. Great times.
- I feel frisky today.
- Just 2 lines don't feel right so here's a 3rd line. Good things come in 3s.
Enjoy your weekend, everyone!

Rants:
*I'm officially a Facebook addict. I check it almost as often as I blog. My grad course is suffering from my dedication to blogging & FB!
*I still have my rental car after almost two weeks!!! The good thing is that I'm able to sync up my Ipod and play all my jams and pay less $$ for gas.
*I need a Rosie the Robot from the Jetsons to come and do a 360 cleaning at my spot. I haven't had the time to do it all, since the new workout schedule.
*Still can't locate an affordable place to upgrade to. How is that the government claims its helping middle class single parents with home developments? When all the new developments are for BooBaby and BeBe and their 5 children.
Why is it that I have to stay in my miserable old unit, but Boo & Be can live it up off the government in a new luxury apartment home with a 2 car garage or even better a new house with assistance for their utilities and taxes!!! I guess I should of had at least two more babies, wait I still wouldn't qualify for the new developments.
WTH!!!
*Yeah, Nicki Sunshine, I agree with you as well. I have an online dating account, and I stopped subscribing as most matches were not complete or even stable selections. Can't a big girl working out to be a thick girl get some luv from men who are potential serial killers and stalkers???

@creative: what about these ninjas contacting u and after one conversation, they are soliciting s3x?????? it makes me wonder what kinda chicks have been going for this stuff?
This rant isn’t about my week but it is about something I have needed to get off of my chest for a long time.
I can’t stand Oprah.
There I said it. I know I am going against the grain here but I have never (in my adult life) been a fan of Oprah Winfrey. While I was never a fan I didn’t despise her like I have these past few weeks. What happened?
Oprah told the world she was fat. Again.
What?! Yes once again, after being fit as a fiddle at fifty, Oprah, in televangelike-style, confessed her sin to the world — she’d gained 40+ pounds. And of course her supporters embraced her, sympathized with her and vowed to cheer her on as she strives to 'live her best life'.
First, I should ask, was I the only one who noticed that Oprah was gaining weight? Was there no one (Bob, Gayle, Phil) who could have gone to her and said, “Hey Oprah, are you okay? You look like you’ve picked up some weight?” No one? Oprah’s hips have been spreading like darkness for about a year now. Where were her people when she needed them?
Now, I know that money can’t buy you love. But money can buy you an in-home gym, a personal trainer, a cook/dietician, a cool track suit, all the tools you need to take care of your health. What pisses me off is that while millions of Americans (myself included) struggle with weight issues, the media finds Oprah’s story newsworthy. Not only do they find it newsworthy they tell it in such a way to evoke sympathy and compassion from the public.
Compassion?! Why should I feel sorry for her? I refuse to jump on that bandwagon. Gym memberships, trainers, shopping for organic goods can be costly. The average American can’t afford these luxuries. But millionaires can. So excuse me if I pass on the chance to ride the Oprah’s Fat Sympathy Train.
Am I bitter? Yes. I am bitter about the fact that folks will look at me like I am fat most likely because I am lazy or because I have no will power. But they look at Oprah as if she was recently diagnosed with cancer. As if her weight gain wasn’t even remotely her fault. Why is her weight treated like an illness over which she has no control?
Am I tired? Yes. I'm tired of Oprah dragging the entire world along on her emotional roller coaster. I don't want to hear it. So what you're fat. Get unfat and stop whining. Some people have real problems.
I honestly hope that Oprah reaches her goal and feels better about herself. But when she does I won’t be tuning in to watch her victory/I’m Not A Loser Anymore show. It’ll be a repeat anyway.
Yeah! F*ck Oprah!
Woo, Ms. Hall! I hope getting that off your chest helped. Writing is therapy for free. Anyhow.
I feel ya on how Oprah is held to a different standard in terms of her weight It's funny because she is held to a different standard than even her fellow celebrities. Other celebs don't get the mass amount of support she does, mostly ridicule. She gets her fair share too, but the amount of support she gets is interesting.
I do want to note though that whatever amount of money you have ain't gonna make you excercise. I don't care if you do have an in-home gym, it takes more than the availability of equipment and personal chefs to get fit and eat right. Even the given the amount of self-help Oprah teaches, the lady is still human (even though people make her out to be this larger-than-life superhuman) and it's obvious she doesn't listen to her own ish…a LOT.
"Oprah’s hips have been spreading like darkness for about a year now"
*********D*********E*********A**********D**********
Dam* son, tell em why you mad!
I feel you though. That ish sure aint news!
