Four people You'll Tag

Pissy tagged all the ppl i would've tagged, so i gotta think about it...Any volunteers?

The Roommate giveth and the Towman taketh away

Yes, The Roommate Guy paid me my money yesterday. We went to lunch, he gave me $500 and paid for lunch. I was so happy, since i only ate one slice of the pizza he bought, I gave the other to this homeless man I always see hanging outside the subway station. I quickly deposited the cash full of glee. Little did I know, something had happened that would undoubtedly ruin my happy demeanor.

After work, roommate guy and I met up and rode the subway home together. Since he was dropped off at the station that morn, I offered to give him a ride. But since I wouldnt get out of bed yesterday morn, I had parked at The Mall (Blvd at the Cap Center) parking lot for the 2nd day in a row.... We walked to where my car should have been, all the while I'm hitting my alarm button. But no chirp, no car....I had been towed. Upon contacting the tow company I was informed that it would cost $180 to get MY CAR and of course they dont take credit cards, cash only. HENRY'S TOW COMPANY is the Debil.

So I took a cab ride to the Roommate's car and he dropped me off at the tow company. They asked for registration, as if I would know to be looking and happen to have the keys for a car that's not mine.....But i didnt have it....(Back drop: I got a ticket one time and havent been able to find my registration since)....Then they asked for insurance papers, which i thought i might have a old one ( I never remember to put my insurance papers in my car), it was a good thing I did because they wouldnt have given me my car and my ride had already left.....

So I got $500, Spent $3 at the ATM to get MY MONEY, had to spend $180 to get MY CAR, and was 20 mins late to my second job. At least I'm still $300+ in the positive. I was proud of myself cause although I was mad I didnt let it get to me. Hell, there was nothing i could do about it. There was no need to get mad. I'm trying not to stress myself over things I cant control. Whenever you stress it releases a chemical in your system.... Think about that the next time you get mad over uncontrollable circumstances, that shit really is bad for your health...

Update on the RTNW and other ish

The Roommate that never was (RTNW) finally moved his ish in on Sunday. Well a few clothes and his TV......umm but his ass nor his money been there since....On monday he said he was gonna drop off the dough, no show, no call, no nuffin.....He didnt call yesterday either..So i call him today, he says: so when u get off, me: 4, why...I wanted to meet up with you to give you the money.....*rolls eyes* So i asked him to buy me lunch, we work a metro stop away from each other, i aint takin no chances i'm gettin my money now...The thing is he's only doing a 6 month lease, if he had of moved in when he was supposed to, next month he would be moving out, yes, i've been gettin the run around for 4-5 months now....I'm surprised i've managed this long...At least now i can get on my billl pay off plan : )...

other ish....Um that nicca done ripped someone else off for their dough....apparently, he borrowed $100 from a friend of a friend, with the promise that he would pay him back the following day...but of course he didnt, like he's done so many others these past few months...so this guy goes to his cousin to find out where that nicca staying since he ducking calls now....and that nicca's cousin spilled the beans, told him where to find him, i hope he dont get iced ova no $100, but i knew he was bound to fuck ova the wrong person eventually.....Just a month ago he managed to convince someone to give him their personal info, with the promise of getting their cell phone bill taken care of every month....what did he really get, a higher bill..that nicca purchased a phone using his account.....I'm so glad i got out when i did...........I just got to get the legalities all finalized, no looking back, that nicca crazy, i wont say he's on crack, but he sho is actin crackish

i've created a monster

Ok for those that dont know i purchased a townhouse in September 05. The person who helped me obtain the financing, i call the financer guy. While i was getting my home, he would call me out the blue, for no reason just to talk....He would not make any mention to my loan or my house in these calls. He's African, btw..... He tells me how special I am to him. I just brush him off. I mean he barely knows me, how am i so special....i havent talked to him much, since i got the house.....So he sends me a christmas card, which i just opened last night, (what!!!!, i knew what it was and figured it was one of them form letter cards...i was right)...and left a message on my work voice mail on 12/29. But i was on vaction. When i returned to work on 1/5, i returned his call to thank him for the card. He proceeds to tell me he misses me, its been too long since he's seen me, how he wants to see me, and that im very important to him....

My girlfriend tells me, girl he got money....there's nothing wrong with getting wined and dined....shyt i dont wanna lead this man on, its obvious he gets in his feelings quickly....now i've only called him for mortgage related questions and never showed the slightest interest....can u imagine if i actually went somewhere with him, how he would act.

anyway as i was saying i created a monster. every since that return call, he has either emailed and/or called me everyday...Here's today's email (of course, i removed all names)

Doing fine. Missing you.

thats what i get for being nice...Pissy always tells me I'm too nice....but how do u tell a guy you're not interested, especially when he technically hasnt asked the question yet, with out sounding like a bitch....he's nice and all, but he's not my speed, im not remotely attracted to him....plus im as Pissy would say "Too strong" for him...I know its a sterotype, but being an African man, he does not want no loud moufed american women, he wants that docile women who will cater to his every need...and that just aint me....What to do, What to do????????????????

I got some new eyes

Ok so i finally got my new glasses, : ) the first time they gave them to me, the perscription was wrong, now i got them and they still dont look right, i mean i cant see right, they kinda blury when i look far away compared to how i see when i use my old glasses.

So here go the pics, my first webcam pics of 2006 : ) i know its a lil hard to see with the bright lights and all.....But what do ya think?















Thats too dark, try these instead:

2006

My first entry for the new year, i guess it should be profound......dont count on it....lets back up


Christmas 05: Spent christmas day at home, cleaning and doing laundry...until Bree insisted i come to her house for dinner, well not insisted she tempted me with her mama's green beans, (mmmmm good).. I have no idea what her mom does to them green beans, but they damn good. The next day drove to Va Bch, to be with mama......I got her an ipod video 30 gig for xmas, she was thrilled, made her cry....now u know why i cry at the drop of a dime, i get it from my mama....

Gift Talley:

From others: 4 cards, 1 NY & Co track suit, NY yankee earings ( dont ask me why but the secret santa at my 2nd job got them for me, some ppl say i sound like im from NY some times, other than that i have no idea why she thought NY was for me....but im thankful nonetheless), and a rug for my house....a modest gift exchange in deed..it sucks not having a man around christmas, im used to being drapped in jewels...oh how things change.....Pissy now you see why i bought myself so much stuff before the holiday's i knew i wasnt gettin much....

From me to me: IPOD video 60 G and clothes. Can't wait on others to do what u can do your self....i'm pretty proud of the fact i kept my ass out the jewlery store this year..although i did see this movado, im kinda digin.


New Years: Left my mother on 12/31 to spend new years by myself. The party i thought would be on friday, was on thursday, heard it was good too....I stopped by a couple ppls house, but was home by 11:30.....thanks to mama and her menopausal self, i got a cold (she kept her house entirely too cold for me), so after midnite, i took some nyquil and was out....today is my first day back to work

Plans for 06: I wont bother make resolutions i wont keep, but i will state my plans...

1. To loose some more weight, i'lve been maintaining, but i want to loose about 50 more pounds, so its time i get back on that....So i will use my blog to track that, including embarassing before pics....oh lord, carmel's gonna hold me accountable for this.... thanks ma

2. Study for, Take, and Pass the CPA exam. Its time i get refocused on my career and my future.

3. File for divorce. I have the papers, i just need to file, that costs money, but hey i'll just charge it like every thing else i've purchased for christmas.

4. Pay off unnecessary debt. This will start with my tax refund check, i will pay off everything i can, then devise a plan and stick to it, for paying off any remaining debt....

5. Love. will not look for it, but won't turn it away. First and foremost, i will defenately start loving myself, projecting that love through my actions. No more destructive behavior for 2006. Things i've done in 2005, will have to cease immediately. They were very unhealthy actions.

As for a 2005 reflection, I'll have to get to that later, im about typed out....Happy 2006 Everyone.
