Slim Jackson
- This was a pretty damn good week. Had a really good birthday, work wasn’t too stressful, and I’m not itching for the weekend like last week.
- My basketball team took home the title. I ended up having to play most of the game even though I strained a muscle. Made some shots in the clutch that helped us win. I’m gonna miss the bball league. This was a great outlet for me. It was one hour a week where I forgot about everything else that was stressing me out. I’m gonna miss the team as well. We grew a lot over the 8 games we played together. **this is said in a manly and non-emotional voice**
- I learned that I’m really competitive when it comes to sports. Maybe I need to incorporate more of this into my daily life.
- For real though, this strained muscle really hurts. I will be icing and heating this weekend. Everybody have a good one. I’m feeling pretty upbeat!
Mr. FAQs
- I’m one proud Uncle FAQs. My nephew started walking last week! Not even 9 months! Looks like the next generation of family genius.
- I realized this week that I only do laundry once a month, which has its pros and its cons. Pro, I only do laundry once a month. Con, I have a months worth of laundry.
- I had a extremely busy week. I guess it’s a “good thing” in the sense that I always had something to do/be doing. But it left me exhausted and tired and wanting the weekend. Not to sleep, but to catch up on everything I didn’t get around to. Then maybe a nap. But of course somebody is going to pop up this weekend and none of that will happen.
- I was at a cocktail event this week and got scoffed at by a waitress for asking for a club soda and lime. I didn’t to much appreciate her reaction. Just because its open bar doesn’t mean you gotta drink. Listen to Mr. FAQs growing up and what not!
- I had an allergic reaction to some “eco-friendly” chap stick. Literally within seconds my lips where tingling, then burning, then starting to swell…it wasn’t the business.
- Saw a rats nest in some really nice ornamental bamboo outside this restaurant the other day. It was daylight and they were running all up the wall and jumping between the bamboo, it was pretty disgusting. Which leads me to ask how could anyone possible like Ratatouillee??? It took me a couple of times to watch it all the way through and when I did, I wanted to vomit. And I aint no b***h n***a! Rats is just nasty. Give me a Texas-size cockroaches any day!
- Saw somebody with a Walkman the other day…didn’t know they still made those. Do they have like 5 minute ESP now? Also saw where someone had dropped a small collection of VHS porn on the street. Maybe I should start walking around with blinders on.
SBM
- Me and my girlfriend are doing good. It’s rather ridiculous how happy I am as a result.
- Work is just … ugh. I need to polish the resume and make my escape. It’s not the worst, but it’s just not what I want to do with my life.
- I have confirmed that my knowledge of Martin is far superior to the average black person’s. I would like for someone to come see me!
- I’m going to a baby shower this weekend and someone has named me the God Father of their kid. Crazy that someone trusts me with the safety of their child in case something goes wrong … right?
- I’m tired and its been a long week. I’m going to sleep. Ya’ll enjoy the weekend.
* I think I over did it with the working out early in the week so now I'm tired and sore.
* I need to make enough money so that I can hire a maid, I clean but it would be nice if I had someone that would do it for me.
* I spent all day yesterday translated a document from German to English *sigh* I want to do something more exciting.
* The cold has returned and brought the rain along with it, I wanted to do some biking this weekend but that probably won't happen.
* I hope everyone has a great weekend!
1. I have to go to Court for my boss sometime today.. I hate going there.. it's a hoodfest. What kinda woman would take a guy's number in court? Dude, I don't know WHAT you are in here for.
2. Ready for tonight's old school hip hop party with my girls.
3. I have too many things to do this weekend. I pray that I can fight my procrastination bug before Sunday night.
4. I am sick of the radio playing the same songs over and over.
Slim – Happy Belated Birthday. Congrats on the win. Sorry that you strained a muscle.
Mr. FAQ – I wash clothes every week. The longest I've gone has been two weeks. Some eco-friendly stuff ain't that friendly.
SBM – That's good you and your girlfriend are doing good. Ref Work–think about the millions of unemployed and that ugh moment will turn into a–I guess it's not that bad moment
Awe how sweet–congrats godfather.
1. I've been in a funk this week, just don't feel like myself. Dude told me he was feeling the same way yesterday. Think we just need some drinks!
2. My website is coming along… put up a very nice domain parking page and the site itself on my local host is looking great. Just need to start on the content **looks down in frustration**
That's it for me… looking forward to my son being on spring break next week… he will be at granny's all week!
@ Nicki Sunshine
What kinda guy would give his nummbr to a girl in court, you dont know what she is there for?
Greetings The Tahoe makes his return w/ rants

that is it, everyne enjoy thier weekend
"What kinda guy would give his nummbr to a girl in court, you dont know what she is there for?"
Same diff, Tahoe..
My rantings
IM happy and greatful to see my younger black brothas having success in the happiness department of life , which i feel it the most important part and what we lose sight of. romantic, sexual and social success as well are all tied together, and none of them can be subsidized by financial and corporate success, a lesson we usually dont learn until its too late.
in other news…
Life sucks without a job. how did I go from having 2 full time corporate jobs and a powerful social playboy, to a housewife in just 6 months?
the economy just seems so bad, and looks like the lower and mid level IT industry is not the career path anymore for a young brotha in the US.
bein broke seriously sucks, if I had an ounce of hood in me at all I would be on the corner bustin my gunz!!! damn my suburban roots and cowardly ways!
Thank goodness I have the support of an unwavering wife. I have so many friends whose relationships deteriorated during this economic collapse and as brothas lost jobs, you saw true colors emerge. I feel bad for them, but silently revel in the fact that I stole a great woman from the dating pool and should pat myself on the back more
who knows what next week will bring much less in 6 more months.
only time will tell
@Mr. FAQs: for all the random ish you saw this week, you do need blinders or better scenery. Although, everything you mentioned would make a good reality show episode.
On "Ratatouille": Good movie. But my problem was the obvious runaway slave connection at the beginning of the film. Watch the first 10 minutes again. The old lady is the slave master and the rats are runaway slaves.
Think it, through. They even went so far as to have one rat tell Remi (the main character) that it wasn't good for him to "read" cookbooks. Hilarious.
@Slim – Happy Belated B-Day! Glad you had fun.
@FAQs – I feel ya on the nephew pride. I talk about my baby nephew like he's my own kid. It's kinda like having one without the labor part and the ability to give him back to his actual parents. I LOVE him.
@SBM – The way you feel about Martin. I feel the same way about Fresh Prince. I always find myself either referencing it or quoting it. And Nick @ Nite only fueled said addiction.
I only have one rant to get out:
- DIE, Metra (a train in Chicago), DIE. You ain't the way to really fly. You're the way to really be stuck in one spot for an HOUR. It took me an hour and a half to get home which is usually a 30 mind commute. You are still far superior to CTA, though. Holler.
Enjoy the weekend, ya'll!
* My hoops squad, Mizzou, won their Big12 tourney game and our archrival Kansas got upset.
* My blog traffic is picking up, which makes me happy because I think I've got a good, but crazy, overall message working.
* I got a prospective bite from a literary agent, which means I'm headed in the right direction with my idea.
* I've met some good people in the blogosphere this week alone.
* My LBs and I celebrated nine years in our frat with a bunch of e-mails of old memories. Best laughs I've had in a while.
+ My birthday came and went and was great because I took they day off. The folks always come through too.
- I've been getting weird blasts from the past that are making me rethink my disbelief in Karma…
+ @32 years old, I'm not feeling old yet, but amazingly I'm finding more and more people in this age group to be rather immature.
@ Mr. FAQs:
I was thinking about doing that with my old VHS porn collection. I don't think anyone would've wanted it though. The dumpster got fed that day.
****Which leads me to ask how could anyone possible like Ratatouillee??? It took me a couple of times to watch it all the way through and when I did, I wanted to vomit. And I aint no b***h n***a! Rats is just nasty.****
roflmao.
This is the best part of today's rants! Thanks for the laugh Mr. Faqs.
Rants:
- Crazy ass Madness (read: porn) I watched the other day.
- A wash and blow dry for $25…feeling like I do this myself twice a week…coulda saved my measly $25.
- Hair, Braz. wax and nails did…and no where to go.
- A side piece looking to pay for my tramp stamp…hopin' he's not expecting a piece.
- Last wekeend 75, this weekend 40.
Overall, very minimal on the rant-age for the week.
WTF? a girlfriend…Yeah I've been away too long gotta catch up!
YAY for you glad you are happy!
