Life-ism of the day

Don't force the purchase.

*This life-ism applies to so much more than just shopping.

Thank God for "Weird" People

Sometimes I feel a little (read: a lot) out of place...Then I meet someone that is WAAAY more left field than I am. That makes me feel good. Like I'm "okay"....and I still have room to turn it up a notch.


Don't mind me...these are just my random thoughts........

Mmmmm beefy....

I stopped eating pork about 4 years ago. The toughest part was giving up bacon and Honeybaked Ham (during the holidays).

Turkey bacon was a reasonable substitute but recently I discovered beef bacon. This stuff is God sent!

Its great. Amazingly great.

If you live in Cleveland, you can get it at the Westside Market on W. 25th. I don't think I've seen it in any stores.... Either way, its worth the trip.

My Favorite Things - Bloc Party

Bloc Party is a London-based band that I discovered at Lolla this past summer. Over the months, they have grown to be one of my obsessions. I heart this band and their entire discography.

They will actually be in the U.S. on tour in March. I'm going to catch the show in Chicago on March 28th so if you'll be in the city you should definitely come. It's like a week after my birthday so it's automatically going to be a good time.

Oh yeah, I just discovered today that Bloc Party is on Twitter. Don't be afraid to be a follower.

Best Morning BBM Ever

"Wakie wakie eggs and bakie"

:-)

It's Friday....

...which means it's only 2 days from Monday.

Look At What I Found....

I was watching perhaps the worst documentary ever last night. It was about the mixtape industry and its rise. Some of the info was decent but it was poorly constructed overall.

But I digress. I'm watching, watching, watching and... *BOOM*

A very young, very New York SICKAMORE is on my laptop.

And who knew he was an artist???

Peep the still shots.

Just keep pouring salt...

There was a package waiting by my door when I got home from work today. I like mail. So, naturally, I was excited.

I opened the box to find my shipment of study guides for the CFA exam.

The suckage continues....

Being a Good Houseguest 101

Last Friday my homie DJ O Sharp crashed at my place the night after he dj'd the Biggie event at Touch Supper Club.

I was thoroughly impressed that he brought his slippers. Very posh.

O, you're welcome on my couch anytime!

IM Etiquette

I'm more "Hahaha" than "Lol".

But that's just me.

This Morning....

I woke up with a whole new attitude. It's like Regular-Me-On-X.

Stay tuned. You don't wanna miss what's about to happen.....

A Day With The Fam

As I get older and my life gets more hectic, I have to specifically carve out time to spend with my family. (I'm actually posting this from my BB at my parent's loft.)

Today's plan was to go furniture shopping with my mom and stepdad. Unfortunately, Old Man Winter decided to rain (or snow) on my parade (see previous post)....but I'm no quitter. So we packed up the Rover and headed out.

I copped a couch (chocolate and wheat microfiber/leather) and 2 chairs (mint leather) for my random room for the lowski.

We then headed to the Westside Market. I have mixed emotions about that place. Its pretty cool and a good experience but I have no patience or desire to haggle over lamb chops or pineapples. Some people buy prepared food and eat it on a catwalk above the market...freaky. I did, however, discover a candy booth. Candy and caramel apples. Assorted flavors of popcorn. Various types of cookies. It was great.

I bought a cherry candy apple to split with my mom, a dark chocolate mint covered Oreo, and a mini popcorn ball.

Pictures are below.

Little baby Jesus is not pleased with me.

IB3 ~ Cheat On You

I'm not really into posting random songs that I hear out in these streets (or out on this Internet) but if I like something, I support it b/c I want you to like to it.

The Houston Homie IB3 has a song called "Cheat On You" that I think is pretty dope. (Yes, girls cheat too.) Check it out HERE.

If you're not already checking for IB3, you should be.

You never know.... maybe you'll hear a collab one day. IBeezy does have a song called "Party Animal" in the works..... maybe she'll let me feature on it.... After all, NO ONE parties like me. No One. :-)

Insight on Life

People that leave life up to chance deserve everything they don't get.

Sh!t That's Never Gonna Come Out

I think I'm going to post snippets the stuff I've done that:

• I like
• I think you might like too
• Is NEVER coming out

Enjoy

Ringing in the New Year

After deciding not to go out for New Year's Eve, I booked a hotel room with some leftover Starwood points I had. I spent the evening in solitude, ordered room service, read for my CFA, and relaxed.

12am: Watched the ball drop in Times Square.

12:30am: laid down to go to sleep

2:12am: phone rings; I send the call to voicemail.

2:13am: phone rings; I answer.

Apparently my 86 year old great-uncle and his 76 year old wife went to a NYE party. She had been drinking. She drove. She hit a car in a gas station. That car happened to be an unmarked RTA police car. The officer gets out of his vehicle and shots her tire out. She hits another car. The real police get flagged down. She is arrested.

I have to go pick up my uncle and bail her out of jail.

She's so drunk she was throwing up, refused to get finger printed, wouldn't take her mug shot, and was passed out by the time we got to the police station.

Keep in mind that I had picked up my brand new car the day before. I don't like her and I had decided that if she threw up in my whip, I was going to put her out on the side of the road.

Luckily she didn't. I got them home safely. She reimbursed me for the bail money. I got back to my hotel room around 5am.

So much for a peaceful, rested night.

Happy new year to me.
