THANX!!!

I just wanted to tell everyone thanx for all of the happy b-days. I spent my birthday with friends and family. I did the classy thing...had a classy meal, with a little classy conversation (we talked about tracing our African roots through our DNA...I watched a documentary about that the other day). I also spent some dough on some fly shit.

AND OH MY GOD...I think I might have finally found the fur I was looking for...I've been wanting this thing for three years. I may have found it, a friend just filled me in on a spot. I'll keep you posted.

Let the 24th year begin in the mad real world.

Goodbye 23rd Year...

So many things happened in my 23rd it is definitely one I will not forget. Let's do a quick year in review.

February 13, 2005...
He wrote a song about me...with music and lyrics. It sounded good as hell. I was madly in "love" with "D" who is 8 years my senior. You couldn't tell me that I wouldn't be with him for at least the next five years...lol. That's how much thought I had put into it. That's really good for me. I just saw those years very clearly. I knew he would be my first. As I read the old IMs I realize I was really feeling him...I've never typed baby that much in my life.

March 2005
My father came to Chicago for a visit. I hadn't seen him in 6 years. He lives in California. He was in town for 4 days. He visited with my sisters and I for 45 minutes. We are not close but we love him and he loves us. We accept who he is and how he is...now. Thanks Iyanla Vanzant and Dr. Phil.

April 2005
I started focusing in seriously on my art. The ideas were flowing and so was the paint...freely.
I met Teej. Teej was a lot like me...we like a lot of the same "left field" stuff.

May 2005
Things started to change with HIM. We got into an argument. All was forgiven...there was residue. It changed a little...there was a new distance. There was a scratch that was healing very slowly. The kisses became less frequent.

The bitch upstairs stole my credit card. Dirty hoe.

June 2005
My best friend Toni goes into the hospital and has her baby 3 months early.
I started blogging.
"D" started school and I didn't talk to him for almost 2 weeks. It was killing me.
I met Hassan, he talked me off of a ledge...lol
"D" and I split. Broke up. I was cool with it at first...then it hurt...bad.

July 2005
I started rolling with the homies. I pulled out the old pimp character. Dating like a lunatic.
Enter Deeds.

August 2005
Pimpin' ain't easy...I lost my virginity...well I didn't lose it I know where it went...lol..It didn't go to "D." I was curious and curiosity killed my cat literally...lmao! Kicked cherry popper to the curb..he was wack in the sex department...didn't take much experience to figure that out...lol

September 2005
Baby shower drama and stress...it turned out great though huh Deeds?
Started a job that I surprisingly like...even though it is just a manifestation of my laziness.

October 2005
Nothing really significant. Peace in the ocean of craziness.

November 2005
Baby let's cruise!
Happy Thanksgiving!

December 2005
Had a great Christmas.
Had some good sex with the young liar. Sex partner number 2.
Enter the ex..."D" starts calling more frequently.

January 2006
Kicked Liar, Liar to the curb...I could've hit that again...lol

February 2006
Back at one...lol
Who knows what this next year will bring. Maybe I will actually settle down and be in love again...I can't even call it at this point.

Stay tuned in the mad real world.

Okay I Think I Have Narrowed It Down.

Alrighty it seems as if everyone (except Zed) thinks I should treat myself to a good ole' spa treatment. I like that. I've also come up with a few ideas myself.

1. Spend money on shit I need like: a new cell phone, glasses (all I wear are contacts), clothes, etc.

2. Spend money on shit I don't need like: a bass guitar (I already have a lead guitar), a PSP...Playstation Portable for those who don't know the lingo...lol, sunglasses, a.k.a. fly shit.

3. Buy myself a ticket to go see the play Wicked.

4. Get Drunk and watch "How To Lose A Guy in Ten Days" butt naked on the couch...lol

5. Find me a nigga and bang the hell out of him...in a sexual manner...lol

6. Rent a fly ass automobile and stunt for a few days like I could actually afford that bitch.

7. Go to some "classy" restaurant and eat a "classy" meal with friends and family. That's just classy...lol

I just don't know what to do with myself in the mad real world.

February!!! Already?

10 days....10 days....10 days until my birthday.

I have no freakin' idea what I am going to do for my birthday. I was thinking of going to Vegas to get crunk but my money, the airlines, and the hotels can't agree. See my money says one thing and the other two laugh. So I will definitely be in Chicago for my birthday.

Now I turn to you my blog buddies and ask WHAT THE HELL DOES ONE DO FOR THEIR 24th BIRTHDAY!!! Sorry, didn't mean to shout. I'm very honest with my blog so y'all know me pretty well...give me some suggestions. I always have a hard time with my birthday because it is the day before Valentine's Day. Everyone is feeling all lovie dovie and I am trying to party...womp womp.

Another issue is that my birthday is on a Monday...I will probably have to do something on Sunday.

Anywho, you all know the problem...so who's got the solution, all suggestions will be considered in the mad real world.
