Rantings of an SBM

Slim Jackson

  • This week actually went by pretty quickly. Not sure if that means I had a good week or I was just really busy.
  • My basketball team is headed to the playoffs after winning 5 games in a row. I’m trying to get some footage of me dunking on some feeble bballer. If I do obtain such footage, it will be uploaded to the internet with the quickness.
  • I had a picture up on my Slim Jackson Facebook account, then I got all nervous and antzy and took it down. I guess I gotta go back into full anonymity for a little while. People consistently ask me why I don’t have a picture or site with my face on it? The answer to that is simple. I don’t want to lose my job behind some Internets.
  • I have a lot of people to see and a lot of stuff to do this weekend. I need to find time to include getting caught up on Lost and 24, and to rekindle my love of Street Fighter.
  • Have a good one folks!

Mr. FAQs

  • Lent started this week and slipt up in the first 30 minutes!
  • This one particular female was real trif last week and has spent all this week trynna be all up in my face. I don’t know why they refuse to listen even when I tell them from the jump that I’m a cold hearted bastard…I’m over her. Lemme lone gal!
  • While I’m a firm believer of happiness over money and money not being everything (because it isn’t), I also have bills and am a firm believer of paying them. To bad for me my bills don’t care about happiness. So you can now add an NBA franchise to my list of “had to let them down gently.” Steadily building my professional roledex which so far is doing nothing for the bottom line.
  • I don’t know if I have to many electrons in my body or what but cellular devices and myself are not compatible. I just got a new (refurbished exchange) Blackberry that came out the box not working. Its 4th or 5th one in about 12 months. I don’t want a phone at all anymore, get me a carrier pigeon.
  • So I started shopping at the bougie grocery store by my crib. Sales a coo if you catch them but the black women that frequent it…my goodness! Why have I been avoiding it for 9 months????? Oh wait, cause some chick hated on it. She was probably jealous of the competition hahaha.
  • Random events of the week: Monday – window falls off and into bus across from my seat. Tuesday – 80 year old white women has Biggy as her ringtone. Wednesday – cracked out drooling degenerate falls out on me on bus, have to throw him off with my fore arm and feel desire to burn hoodie and said fore arm. I’m tired of ‘going green’…I want to pollute again :/.
  • My undergrad chapter won College Chapter of the Year and College Brother of the Year last weekend at the district convention. Makes me proud. ’00000000006
  • Big bro just hit me up and said he was in town. Haven’t had a chance to talk to him yet but pretty sure its business. I smell I real nice FREE meal! Hahaha

SBM

  • I’m in Houston, TX for the weekend.  I must say … it’s not what I expected so far.  I thought it would like a more country version of ATL … but I swear its been more “boughie” than DC.  Well … we’ll see what I think Monday after I hit some clubs and whatnot.
  • It was an interesting week at work … short … but rather interesting … I’ll leave it at that.
  • So … I have experienced several aspects of Houston since the first rant (yes … I write my rants over several hours) and I now have more love fore the city. Went to the BBQ cook off with well connected individuals.  Free Ribs, Brisket, and alcohol … Houston is f*cking great!
  • Went back to what I have always regarded as the best strip club on earth.  “My” stripper told me she was studying computer science in school … now I really love the city.  And its good to know the SBM college fund is going to good things.
  • Given all that has occurred and all the fun that I had … I am actually anticipating the arrival of someone who I know back from DC … but sadly I’m counting down to their arrival … *sigh*
  • Uh … all I can think about is the fact is that I’m in Houston.  I don’t want to bore folks … but I am looking for a city guide … so if you can show me where Harlem nights is … email me.
  • I started the official SBM clothing store … go pick you up some of the hotness.

  1. GOod Morning Everyone:

    My Rants/Randoms:

    1. Who knew online dating would make me realize being single is not so bad?

    2. I'm gonna be pretty busy with going out and thangs this weekend. I have to schedule some sleep in there somewhere.

    3. My cousin wants me and about five other folks to come over her house while she tries on everything she purchased for a wedding, of which some came off Ebay.

    4. Due to my lack of facial control when I'm disgusted, I'm gonna act like I forgot (otherwise she may get her feelings hurt)

    5. Why do people insist on having small tacky weddings instead of eloping if they can't afford it?

    6. For Lent: Open Mind, Shut Refridgerator. I'm hoping I can look like one of the girls in King mag after this is all over. LOL

  2. The Don says:

    Hey if you down in the H go to club oynx right off of richmond 3113 bering drive. Im tellin you dawg

  3. Amber says:

    1. I cant wait to move
    2. I cant wait to find a job in TX so I can move.
    3. I cant wait till my sister graduates so I can move.
    4. Did I mention I can't wait to move (3 mos 16 days)
    5. I had my first weak thought since celibacy kick 2009 started. Thankfully it was only a thought.
    6. I have to go shop today. God I can't stand shopping.

    Hope Houston does it for you.

    B.

  4. CPT Callamity (Drunk says:

    1. First week in cubicle world and it's okay…but I hate the fact I don't have an office anymore. I hear people walking past the partitions and you can't tell who is coming up behind you. Now I have to try to look productive while I read these damn blogs.

    2. I have been shunning a lot of people who want my time lately. I don't feel like committing to everyone else's charity much anymore. Being selfish for once isn't so bad when it means that I'm getting my stuff together (and possibly about to make more $$$).

    3. I spoke to a very well known man in the Ultra Computer Geek circuit and asked him for advice. I was surprised that what he gave me for advice I had already been doing! I guess I'm not so low on the food chain afterall. Here's to self-taught computing.

    4. My cousin called me yesterday and asked where the ladies are. I said they are around but honestly I haven't put much stock in them. One is flaking out in a major way and the other just isn't assertive enough to request my time. Nothing I haven't told them before about getting my attention, so all my attention goes to my Technic 1200s. Long live vinyl.

    CPT Callam OUT!

  5. Reign says:

    @ SBM: I was going to drive down to Houston this weekend. Ask someone about Club Riddims on Bellfort… best reggae club I've ever been to!

    1. Dude left to go to Chi on Wed, will come back on Sun. and I've only received 1 text message on Thurs…. Mmmhmm. He's with his rowdy homeboy so I know he's up to no good. Therefore I've made plans tonight and will have a da*n good time. ;-)

    2. I got a 24hr Fitness membership this week so I've been getting my fitness on everyday! Gotta get it tight for the summer.

    3. Long week at work, down season kicks rocks.

    4. I've finally created a logo I can appreciate and designs that I love for my summer collection. Trying to stay in touch with my eclectic side and steer away from the mainstream. Hopefully that works :-/.

    5. I'm getting my son a supplement called Calm Child, so he can calm his tail down.

    That's all folks, hope you all have a wonderful positively motivating weekend. Da*n, make that everyday!

  6. Jasmine says:

    Hmpt, I guess I’ll be the first one to start this party off!!

    1. This week flew by and 4 midterms later I’m ready for a break!

    2. I gave up all sexual desires and cravings for Lent…uhhh yeah.

    3. I think someone stole my copy of “What Black Men Think.” USPS said that it was delivered two days ago but it’s not on my porch…wait, maybe it’s in my mailbox. I’ll get back to you on that.

    4. My job is getting harder and forcing me to work on the weekends just to play catch up…saving the world is NOT easy.

    5. I think the recession may finally be catching up with me…I feel like there’s never enough money these days.

    6. The guy I’m seeing brother died earlier in the week, he went home for the funeral with his ex-wife…feeling some kind of way about that.

    Well that’s about it for me. Have a good one, my good people!

    @SBM- Welcome to the H!!! I am not a fan of Harlem Nights, but I'm pretty sure it's on the Northside of Town. If you listen to 97.9, there's always a promo for their specials. There's also one on the South, I believe it's called Onyx off of Richmond. I hope you have fun making it rain!!!! Try the Downtown Social Scene and Scott Gertner's Skybar off Montrose & Westheimer, nice upscale and mature crowds. I'm not really into the scene like I used to be, but that's what I hear in passing conversations with co-workers.

    @ Nicki, that online dating scene is worst than person to person interactions. It is quick to show you how to become satisfied in your "singleness"

    Rants
    -I would have to agree that either I'm busy or the days are getting shorter.
    -I've lost another 6lbs, so the Get Rite and Tight plan is working. Watch out!!!!
    -TAKS testing is Tuesday, so being mindful for all the kiddos taking them. Gosh, I despise standardized testing and the pressure it places on our babies.
    -Countdown has began for the Erykah Badu and Adele concerts!!!

    Live your best life now, have a great weekend peeps!!!

    Tootles, C1k

    Tease. lol, no seriously, though, I can't say I really blame ya here. Mad groups of people have gotten fired over something to do with Facebook, so…yeah.

    LMFAO @ FAQs seeing old 2520 lady bumping Biggie on her cell.

    Rants:

    1. My coworker (who normally coordinates the work flow) decided to get sick and call off today so now I have to be him. He's a PAB for that ish. Naw, just kiddin' he's my homie. Hope he gets well. The mofo has the weekend to do so.

    2. Week DID go by quickly.

    3. I took off a day (wed) to shop for furniture (dinette set) and didn't find a DAMN thing. Disappointment of all kinds. Whatever, patience is a virture and whatnot.

    4. Gonna be hella deep in my computer, writing this weekend. Got a deadline and ish.

    Have a terrific weekend, everyone!

  10. Britt says:

    TGIF!!!! @ Slim – People consistently ask me why I don’t have a picture or site with my face on it? The answer to that is simple. I don’t want to lose my job behind some Internets. PREACH!!!!
