What's Goin On

Friday was a regular day at work, I scooped up SO at his job and went to catch King Kong at the theaters down the street from the house. The movie had great special effects and the acting was good it was just entirely too dam long. It was twice as long as the usual hour and a half movies that have become all too common. Well, at least it kept my attention I really could have sat there and slept after the first hour as tired as I was.

Saturday I took care of some Christmas shopping I had to do for my niece and nephew in CA. Now that I will actually be there, I will be able to get them more stuff my only issue right now is how I’m going to get them on the airplane. It’s not only the luggage that has me worried, it’s also the fact that it will be a flight during the holiday rush, so I’m expecting for it to be very busy at the airports. Also, my nerves get all out of wack when I’m on an airplane so I’m planning on taking some special candy for this trip to knock me the f out. Lol. After the shopping I stopped at blockbuster and rented Mr and Mrs Smith for the 3rd time. What is the deal with this movie? I’ve rented it twice before and the first time I went out of town and left the movie home, so by the time I got back, it was ready for it to go back to bb. Then the second time I could not stay awake all the way through for the life of me, but then again at that time I WAS also getting over a cold so I gave it the benefit of the doubt this third time. Another snoozer. This time I am well and not under any cough medicine so now I KNOW it’s the movie. NOT good.

I got a chance to listen on MJB’s the Breakthrough I think Mary really did it this time. She has a couple of hot tracks on there and the last track, One, which is a duet with Bono, is also hot. That woman has a classic voice that no one can match. They are promoting the shit out this album. At the movie theaters, someone had put up fliers with the album cover and release date in the parking lot. MTV has it on their commercial run because they have it on “The Leak” and you can hear it on their site. She even went off on Mimi Valdes at the Vibe Awards and that was also like, a gateway to read Mimi’s response on the issue who has, guess who, Mary on the cover pushin the Breakthrough. I’m not even mad at her it just makes me love her more but I hope other people are not getting a Mary overdose.

Speaking of Mary overdoses, I am considering giving up the Phillies for 2006. As a New Year’s resolution. Also to eat more healthy and maybe get in the gym more, in exchange for Mary. I have been juggling both for a while, but I know personally I would be more satisfied with my shape if I got it together and focused more on being fit. I’m also going to be more strict with my time management and financial habits. So far this is what I’ve come up with.

One of my real good friends birthday was Saturday. We will call him Doc for now. Doc lives in FL and we have a real interesting relationship. When we met, he was living in ATL and had a man but he was trying to get me involved in the relationship. Doc is tall masculine and dark skinned like I like them. He is really feeling the latino lite skinned brotha in me and things were real hot between he and I for a while but it was just THAT, he and I. No other lover involved. We will call him Bee for now. I was curious and met Bee a few months after I met Doc. Bee was an older kat. He was dark skinned as well but I really could not see myself getting hot over him. To be honest the man was feelin me but it was just as I suspected, he was real sprung over Doc to the point where Doc was real taken care of, and would hate to see Doc leave him over the likes of me. In his eyes, I was the man sleeping with his man and I really don’t think he would have found the notion any more exciting if he were a participant. Not only that, but I was quickly discovering that I myself could not be a participant because I was not real comfortable with the way Bee handled his business. It was some drama this time 2 years ago with these characters man but to make a long story short, Bee and I never found a way to get into each other and Doc and I just kept our friendship to ourselves. Doc is a trip and I’m so glad we became friends because I can appreciate him so much more. I can’t give up TMI too early on Doc, but right now he is not involved with Bee anymore and has moved to Florida. I haven’t seen him in almost a year and we are trying to make plans to see each other soon. He called on Friday and left a message while I was in the movies. So I called him yesterday and he wasn’t home. He’s a mess.

Another character in the mix is my PR brotha Jersey. Jersey lives in Phillie but I’m planning on recruiting him to my personal space soon enuff too. This was one kat I met over the internet and we talked for quite a while before he came to ATL and visit Labor Day weekend. The convo was hot but not as hot as when he finally came to my apartment for a visit. I was really kicking myself because that whole weekend I was so caught up with the other fans that I had missed out on the real prize that was texting me from the telly down the street from my apt the whole weekend. I was just on my own schedule and didn’t really have time to see him until later that week before he left back home. It was obvious how strong of a chemistry there was between us. This was strange because I don’t really get excited over my latino brothas. Even though he is mixed with black his features are more latino than black so this is not common for me. Needless to say this is someone else who will surface in the 06 and I’m really looking forward to an encore.

I can vent some more but I know I got more closets than Kelly. I will spare the details for rite now just know this is whats goin on in the world of soforeal.
