Dont Call It A ComeBack!

Okay maybe I haven't been here for years and years per say but...you get the point. It has been a while and for good reason cause my ass been busy. It feels really good to be back. You know how when you have been gone for a long time from work/school it is kind of hard to get back into routine? LOL.. Well that’s how this is feeling to me damn near almost a year since my last entry. So much has happened since then. Since September of last year Mr. D and I decided to part and go on our separate ways and are no longer roommates. Mr. D and I have been good friends for about 8 years now and he was rooming with me for a while. Our friendship has become so much better since we made this decision. He is now talking about moving back home and all this and that cause of all these reasons but I am trying my best to encourage him not to give up.

The job I was offered when I returned from my legal fiasco in California has been going very well also. 2007 has been real good to me so far. Since I've I have been given a raise and also received several bonuses so money has been real good to me. I can’t believe next month will make a year since I have started. How fast time flies.

The relationship with my family in Cali has been the same more or less other than the fact I wish we would talk more. My mother was going through a divorce not too long ago and work has been slow for my mom and brother so there was a time where the communication lines were interrupted. Nevertheless we managed to plan a summer trip and I will be flying out there next week for my birthday. This will be my second travel destination this year. I just came back from Miami last month from a trip I will never forget. Yes there was a whole lot of sexy going on down there being that it was Black Pride weekend and all but I also really went to see my family and friends down there as well. I just wish I had more time to spend with family cause for a moment I got kinda caught up in the “activities” and I did a bit much down there. So I will definitely have to go back soon and dedicate some more family time.

My greatest accomplishment since last Fall besides my impressive work ethics at my new job has been a very significant weight loss. About 30 pounds give or take have came off after some extreme working out and changes to my diet. I’m extremely proud of that cause I had really let myself go for a while. Also, I have taken a part time waiting tables at night so that I can save up for my house. That has also been keeping me in shape as well cause I’m on my feet the whole time getting some useful cardio action going on walking and carrying food, get it? No cheating or diet pills here I went the natural way and I can’t even see myself going back to my old habits. I feel so much better about myself and my health now it’s great.

Come Get It

I just left Cali and my ass just got a plane ticket to go right back in November! Yep, I’m going back for Thanksgiving week. I can’t help it, I miss my little guys too much (niece and nephew). My niece just started kindergarten this year and she came home crying the first few days. When my sister in law asked her what was wrong she said she wanted to go back to PreK because her new teacher makes her write too much! LOL..Kids are such a trip. Well I can hardly wait to see them. One thing I do miss about the West is the weather and most importantly, my family.

Nothing much has been going on since I have been back. It feels crazy sometimes because I kind of got right back into routine once I got home. No time to play around lol. Although I did get out for Labor Day weekend. I went out Friday and Saturday nights, and I needed that Sunday and Monday to recuperate! LOL. I met this shorty Friday night and I mean shorty literally because he was about 3 inches shorter than me. We hung out for the most part and had a good time Saturday too. However I’m kind of thinking maybe I don’t want to keep in touch with this guy. During one of our conversations he said he would have never thought I was so intelligent and cultured when we first met. WTF? Do I look dumb or something? I didn’t know what to think. At first, I’m thinking that was really one of those things you want to keep to yourself cause it didn’t sound right. That’s really the first I’ve ever heard of that and it was hard to digest as a compliment. So I’m unsure of what to think about that comment.

The new job is great! I’m really enjoying myself at this company because I am learning so much and it is such a good opportunity for me to finally have some doors open. It was truly a blessing to land such a coveted job in my line of work the first week I got back to ATL. Of course, I have been in training sessions the first two months but next week we officially start work so let’s see if I feel the same way in a few days lol.

So in short I am truly blessed. I really couldn’t ask for anything else.

I resigned my lease for another six months. I really didn’t want to, but I need some more time before I make a major investment. In six months I should be purchasing instead of renting hopefully. Also, Mr. D has been staying with me and renting out the other room so this is also helping me save for that too.

I am really feeling some of the tracks on JT’s new shit. He should do good next week when his album is released.
