Blah,Etc.

I haven’t posted anything because I’ve been in a BLAH kind of mood lately. The whole driving to ATL situation is not convenient because I have a meeting on Monday morning and as it is right now I am nowhere near ready to go. So, I’m saving the roadtrip experience for another date and time! I got a flight leaving Los Angeles this Saturday and I get to Atlanta that evening. It’s a nonstop because Lord knows I hate connecting flights. Hell I hate flying period but if it’s got to be done, it’s got to be done. There will be no Lelee's wedding and Mr. D will fly back solo on Sunday. HOWEVER I'm planning on making a visit to the Circus Disco the night before for all yall West Coast haters! I'm getting towed up that night so that I sleep the whole way through on the plane Saturday. I'm downing a fifth of Henn and a White Owl straight to the head. That along with my iPod should hold me over. Talking about flying high why is it that people get so excited about making love in an airplane? I saw “Rumor Has It” (which was pretty good) with my sister last night and Jennifer Aniston and the guy who plays her fiancé were all trying to do it but it didn’t work out for them. What’s the big deal? Isn’t it just like doing it anywhere else? I should have to try it out sometime with the right person.

Why am I hooked on Caramel Frapps at Starbucks in the morning! Aren’t they like a million calories in those things? The addiction just kind of happened. What’s up with the “venti” and “grande” BS. “Grande” is really “Big” in Spanish, so you would think grande is the largest but it’s really not it’s the medium. Then “tall” is really the “smallest”. I always ask for MEDIUM and I know the BARISTAS think it’s ghetto cause I’m not calling it “grande”. I also dislike when they yell out your name really loud when your shit is ready but I have a problem with people yelling out my name period. Unless it’s in bed, then there I can tolerate it you know.

So the deal is that I’ve been hooked on Starbucks for the two months I’ve been in Cali and I swear it’s the reason I have gained SIX friggin pounds in 2 months! WTF I need to get the hell out of dodge and get to getting back healthy quick.

There are a few people I can’t wait to see when I get to Atlanta and one of them is my boi Mouse who called me on Sunday. Mouse I met 2 years ago in a very awkward situation that eventually turned into a much valued friendship . He’s extremely down to earth and not afraid to be himself. That’s what turns me on about Mouse. We have slept in the same bed and have not done anything. We have kept it real with each other throughout our friendship aware of our mutual attraction we got goin and I think that’s hot too. He’s seeing somebody now but anybody that really knows me knows that I'm not shy about "situations". I’m all about respect and in "situations" like those I can honestly say I am not the initiator (well at least not all the time). However I'm not planning on letting too much get out of control with Mouse when I get there. If he’s happy I would not want to come between what he got goin on.

What sucks about leaving here so soon is that it will be another year my brother and I don’t get together on our birthdays. We both are July 3rd and no we are not twins. He was born five years before me ain’t that crazy! Out of the 26 birthdays I've had he and I did something together twice. Well unfortunately we will have to chalk up another year cause I'm not waiting here that long! Happy Bday BRO!!

I Got Hoes...

I’m not sure what it is but I am so ready to go home. So many damn HATERS in the West Coast. Or do I just happen to know the funk of the bunch? For real and don't even get me started on my own family. My family has so much drama I swear I can write a book about them. All their bickering and gossip sometimes makes me want to throw the fuck up. I just hate that I will miss my moms but I got to do what I got to do. Call me what you want I don't care but I gotta go. It’s not just the family that has me stressed out, don’t get me wrong. It’s a combination of things. I’ve been keeping up the rent for my apartment in Atlanta and making sure they will renew my lease cause it was supposed to be up this month. All is OK with that the only thing is I don’t think I’m going to fly back. I fell in love with a car out here and I’m probably going to end up driving it home. All 3,000 miles! Mr. D is coming out here on the 20th so he can make it to our girl Lelee’s wedding on the 24th. So the plan is to start the road trip right after the ceremony Saturday night and that should get us there no later than Tuesday. It would be so interesting I have never planned a road trip that long. The only thing that concerns me is that I have seen 5 different maps and I’m not sure which one to follow. I’m just gonna use the one that looks most correct. I’m looking forward to this very much. I am going to go back home and pick up right where I left off. Sweet tea here I come!

26 more days till my birthday!!! What will I do? Smoke and chill probably I’m not hard to please. Maybe a get together with a small group of acquaintances? Miami Beach? A sex party hell I don’t care but whatever it is it needs to be celebrated back HOME. I have been real horny lately and I think that’s also adding to the frustration factor out here. Even though I DO got hoes in different area codes! 2 of the 3 jumpoffs I kept in contact with are now in committed relationships even though one keeps trying to get me over to his place for a 3some wit his boi. Uh-NO thank you. At least not right now (wink). The one that WAS available we hooked up a few weeks ago. Dude was alright but not enuff. I was not satisfied. Like Chinese food, how it never satisfies my hunger for some reason. Not to mention I had to drive 57 miles to meet the brotha cause I’m in the middle of nowhere! Fuck that so I have just been beating the meat! Yep! In my white tee! Yep! LOL..Was that TMI? If so I don’t care it’s the truth. I have been doing other things to try and keep my mind off sex like reading. Right now I’m on E Lynn’s "Any Way the Wind Blows". I know I’m late but I can’t put the book down. To anyone familiar with the book, isn’t Bart a HOT MESS! Lol…so is Ava, the character that plays Yancey’s mother. I want to make a movie out of Harris’ books one day, I think that would be really hot. Would it be a hit? I wonder about that at times. When I read, I have a visual of what these people look like and it’s already like my own movie in my head, so why not take it to the big screens? I do the same with songs. I can hear a track and visualize a whole video that would really sell the song. Watch out Chris Robinson! Should I go into production? I think about that. I also think about who I would get to play the parts of some of the people in Any Way the Wind Blows. For instance, I would get Mekhi Phifer to play Basil…wouldn’t that be hot? I would get Shemar Moore to play Raymond and Sanaa Lathan to play Yancey. Lynn Whitfield can play Ava and how about Monica Calhoun as Windsor? Why did I automatically associate LaVonya with Wendy Williams. LoL… What a hot cast. You would have had to have read the book to feel me on this. If any of his movies go to Hollywood remember where you heard it first!

Speaking of movies I went to see the "Omen" yesterday. I enjoyed it for the most part, only because the original is one of my favorite horror classics. What I enjoyed the most was the leading roles in the film! I love Julia Stiles. She’s the chic that for some reason they are always pairing her up with a brotha (i.e. "Save the Last Dance", "O", etc). I think she did a great job playing Katherine. What an actress. I also enjoyed Leiv whatever his last name is playing the role of the husband. With his sexy self. I remembered him from "The Manchurian Candidate" where he played alongside Merryl Streep, another great film for him. Speaking of Merryl can’t wait to watch "The Devil Wears Prada" also. Ah, summer movies. Only thing I hated about the "Omen" yesterday was the mob of youngsters that had the same idea as I. Maybe I went to the wrong theater cause I was not in the general area I was in the middle of the hood hood wit my boy Rob. Shit I forgot school was out and the theater was packed from the window to the wall with loud and obnoxious adolescents! Aargh! I had to cuss out the mofo behind me cause he would not stop kicking the back of my chair. Damn, no home training. The movie had an interesting twist at the end. I don’t want to spoil the movie for anyone, but there was a lot of political context in it that I don’t quite remember in the original. Or maybe I need to watch the original again. Blockbuster night anyone? It would be one other thing I can do to help me stop thinking about ASS so damn much…

Soul Search

Why did you leave here?
Love
I think about you and wonder why
I neglected what we had
when it was time to find you
Gone
Like the dust skittles
the score was settled
Your desire to keep us special
But now you are there, in place
I think of you at times love
And wonder, how is it where you are
Is there pain or are you blissful
as rumors say
I wonder many days
Will you find me when I get there
remember
I used to hold you love
your face on my chest
breathed promises
while you slept
You were a friend best yet
You had my better interest at heart love
Little did I know
How much you loved me back
so naive of me...
I will never know
How your body would have felt
seductive and near
But I’m fortunate I own a piece of your soul love
Before I leave here

Dedicated to SoulDZire
