Didn't I



I spent the entire Memorial Day Weekend at work until about midnight. Still managed to head out and enjoy the weekend though. From the late night bar b q's to the few hours i managed to scrape up on the sofa at the lounge. Good Times. This weekend, as well as the past few, have showed me that everyone has a purpose and a reason for walking into your life. I lost a long time friend recently over some petty foolishness but seems to have gained a handful of career minded, health conscious and fun ones..lol.

Ive been in the gym every day this week as well. That is even on those long work days. then trying to squeeze in a few brainstorming ideas on top of my everyday responsibilities && trying to show up at these events and priavate affairs becomes a tad bit tiresome. Good thing i have today off, that'll be spent looking for another job and cleaning my home. Ive been kinda avoiding a call from this potential business partner for the last few days, ive just been a lil overwhelmed and its not purely because im not in the mood for conversation but that i get the call at the most inopportune times: during work, late at night, or early in the am, and i do mean EARLY.

I have not gotten as much physically done as i'd have liked to this weekend but i did get alot of spur the moment ideas down on paper, concepts and roughdrafts as well. All the while this weekend my playlist was set to repeat on Leela James, Ledisi and some earlier Keri Hilson tracks. Felt good, took my mind off of alot of the goings ons around me. Maybe not the wisest way of dealing with everyday work related issues but it darn sure felt good.

The Imagintion Factory

I've been working on a few designs for the past few weeks and i find myself continously torn, especially with the intended audience. I mean i have so many ideas going though my head day in and day out. Consider my brain the imagination factory. So much so that when i find myself close to finalizing a particular concept I think of a new pattern, cut or color id like to incorporate. I'm an artist. . .

im sensitive about my ish.

When The Weekend Is Done: Good Morning


The time is now a little after 5:3o in the am. Today was a long day starting early in the morning, me sleeping well. I woke up on the right side of the bed and everything, all felt good until I tried to call my mother then T.Mobile slapped me right in the face with a phone services is disconnected recording...smh. Needless to say I was hella pissed. This has never happened to me, and this was not my fault, that makes it that much more irritating. Take a note folks, this is why you dont have anyone els on your line BUT YOU. && family are some of those people that you dont let on your line. They are the reason I cannot make outgoing calls until further notice-very embarassing.

Later on in the day a few good good friends of mine went out to a nice dinner for his birthday. It was a very nice and intimate affair at the chinese bistro P.F. Chang's. Laughter and spring rolls, and can someone please tell me whats the difference between egg rolls and spring rolls? If its the obvious answer that one has egg in it and the other dosent im going to scream...lol. Our waitress Karyn was quite a character, take Angelina Jolie-Pitt's looks and the personality of a saturday morning cartoon character. She was so ditzy and funny, had us laughin all night-and not intentionally, she was just really that funny. If you ever get to P.F. Chang's please request Karyn and you'll see why.

After dinner was over and the long ass highway ride[that wouldve been much shorter had we've just taken i75 like I suggested but im over it...]. I got a call to come up to Blake's so that I could roll on the floor laughing my ass off. && when i reached Blake's..boy did I laugh. There were so many fools and drag queens performing like you wouldnt believe...lol. I took a small cup of vodka and cola and the fun was amplified[Now in case i havent stated it already, I am not a drinker or smoker, i can hold my liquor but the instances where i drink are few and far between]

Honestly ALOT has happened over the last few days since ive posted. In short-im sure there're things im going to skip over and possibly touch on in a later post. Not too much more to report, well there may be much more. im just a lil tired and the sun is playing peek-a-boo with my eyes, either that or the liquor was stronger than I thought it was.

Good Morning

brb. . .

Thinking about taking a trip.
Online looking for a cheap ticket.
While playing on Twitter.

I suspect that I am making this harder than it needs to be.

*sigh
