R.I.P.

Steve and Sarge who passed 4 and 1 year ago today, respectively. Yall are greatly missed. Although taken from us much too soon, we know yall are no longer in pain and in a much better place.

Goals

That's my goal to be able to recreate that pic, without having to cover up fat rolls. But I dont think i want to be that greasy, lol. I worked out yesterday, and let me say making this goal is filled with pain. I can barely lift my arms. I called myself lifting weights yesterday (after 30 mins on the treadmill), so i can get rid of this wing....u know what im talking bout, that lil flap of skin under the arm that just flaps in the wind. I cant stand that. My upper body strength is piss poor, i could only lift 30 lbs on the machines i was on. But I can lift 180 plus with my legs (well using the leg press i can). I was proud of myself yesterday, i went back to my standard settings, of 3.0 speed and 6.0 incline. I dont run on the treadmill, i would jack my knees up. So slow and steady will have to win this race. Besides i burn more calories with that combo, than if i had a higher speed lower/no incline. Some ppl think they doing the damn thing running and ish with no incline, but they could save all the huffing and puffing, if they just lowered speed and increased the incline, more calories for your buck....

But i'm no where near to burning the calories i need to burn per week. For every 3500 calories burned you loose only 1 pound. So when i was hitting the gym hard, the goal was to burn that per week on the treadmill and lift weights. That way i was guaranteed to burn off at least one pound per week. other calories would be burned from other activities i couldnt track, like weight lifting and aerobics classes. So that means my happy ass needs to be on the treadmill damn near everyday....the only prob. is I know the treadmill at home doesnt give accurate readings since the incline isnt automatic.....(i stick the pins in it to change the incline.) I need to sell it and get a different one....its gently used anyone interested.

oh and 24 and prison break were off the chain last nite. Everyone should know not to fawk with Jack. He will treat anyone, including someone he loves like a terrorist in a heart beat. Then kiss you once he realizes you are telling the truth. Cant wait for next week's episode...Looks like the personal assistant bout to spill the beans........Micheal needs to watch it, he done burned off his map and now got that nosey ass doctor investigating this shit. I knew it was their father to drop off that info at the last min.....i guess the vice pres walking round with no teef or that analysis is dirty, cause i know damn well that wasnt him in that grave. I dont understand why all of a sudden they (girl-friend and lawyer dude) are walking around like noones tryna kill them.....

Q/A

Ok, I know I'm late. But am I the only one who thought it sounded weird when Meadow said, "why you bustin my bawls???" last week on Sopranos. I know she's Italian and her father runs the mob....but it just aint sound right coming from her mouth

And that dude, I think his name is Paulie, am i the only one who thinks he looks like grandpa from the munsters.





AJ you aint wacking no one. sit yo ass down some where.....leave the mummy be...

Friday

First let me thank those who've commented for the first time yesterday...Bobby Brown Jr and Chele. Hope yall find your ways back. And thanks Laa and Tiger for making a return visit. And of course the original crew, as always i appreciate your insight on my daily ramblings. And yall are getting better, i don't have to send the go read my blog emails as much, lol....Its good to see yall related to what i was saying.....

Now that that is out the way...lets get to it......................................................

I hate riding on escalators you always end up with some strangers butt in your face

Somehow this local man forgot his child in the car, when he got on the metro yesterday. I wonder what the hell was on his mind for him to forget the baby.....

I found sumpnspcious on the metro yesterday....(def. any unattended bag or strange person---hey i didnt make that word up, its posted on the metro) ....I guess all is well the station was still there this morn

anyone who's used this phrase, please explain it to me....."I don't drink to get drunk." That's what alcohol does. So why not drink juice/soda if you don't wanna be drunk. Why do you drink then? Nobody sets out to get sick when they drink. They just overestimated how much they could handle and of course some handle their liquor better than others. And if your anything like me, your limit varies. sometime i get sick off one drink, but dont get sick when i have 6-7...go figure...And in regards to acting silly/stupid/embarassing....i'm naturally silly, so alcohol magnifies that and of course makes me sexual...but whats wrong with being silly...

If when you assume you make an ass out of you and me, what happens when you presume.

How come men get over someone they claimed they love so damn quickly?

Is it possible for exlovers, to be friends when one person still has feelings?

Ok LL, if you insist, I'll take the flowers..... *blush*

Nastiest pics I've ever received in an email.....*warning not the safest for work proceed with caution* Since I dont want to be reported for objectional content, i will only post the link and not the pic....Consider yourself warned.

I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not sure.

Catch me I'm falling

What's" Your Power Color?

well thats enough randomness for now, feel free to add your random thoughts

Tell me a lil about yourself Thurs.

Let me clear up some things about myself that will help us to better get along....

1. Just cause I'm cussing does not mean I'm cussing at you. It means im angry. Everything is not about you.
   
2. When my voice raises in a conversation, I am not yelling at you. Again I am angry. As with all my emotions i can not hide my anger it is evidence in my speech and facial expression. Everything is not all about you. (Do you see a pattern here?)
   
3. If I say leave me alone, let it go, I don't want to talk about it, or I'm ok (when obviously I'm not...Like i said my feelings will be all over my face.), let it go drop it. Now if you choose to continue asking me, after the 4-5 time, when i kirk out on you and raise my voice....its your own fault, I gave you ample time to let it be. I do this to keep from saying things I don't mean. I can be very verbally abusive when angry. Although I appreciate the concern, it'll be better that we talk about it, when i calm down....Trust me....
   
4. If you don't want to argue in public, then don't address me in public. I will give you the #3 warning. I advise that you back off.
   
5. I am not a Bitch, but I am moody. I can be the nicest person in the world till you cross me. As long as you stay on my good side, you won't feel my rath. But I dont hold grudges, so after I tell ya how I feel, I can let it go, if you can.
   
6. I am not you, so I dont think like you. I will take your advice, but that doesn't mean I will follow it. So don't get in your feelings, when i do me.
   
7. Despite my attitude, I am very sensitive. I may read somethings into what you say, that you did not mean. I can't help that. So when I ask for clarification, just give it to me. So I'm not mad or hurt for no reason.
   
8. I ask a lot of questions, because I'm nosy and interested. If you dont wanna answer just say so. Dont lie to me, I hate liars. None of your business, is an applicable response on any day.
   
9. Sometimes I just ask questions to hear your response, if you avoid the question (as opposed to telling me, you dont wanna answer), it makes me more inquisitive and you look suspect.
   
10. I also ask questions I already know the answer to; that way I know when I'm dealing with a liar. I won't call you on it, or make a big deal out of it. Its enough that I know you're lying, you can continue to think you're running game if you like.
    
11. I only answer questions that are asked. Its not my fault you asked the wrong question. So if you really want to know something, I suggest you use the right words.

Old Skool Parenting

Inspired by my girl Dat BK Diva,

I know yall remember them beatings you got from your mom/dad for something stoopid you did and thought you could get away with. But your parents were a lil bit smarter than you. Already knew what you had in mind. Share your most memorable beating story.


I remember several beatings i got, that were boderline child abuse...but i had enough sense not to call social services on Mom, cause she would've beat me till they got there.....The phychological aspect of the beating making me go pick out my own switch, knowing i would stoopidly get the smallest stick thinking it would hurt less, walking around with welts all on my leg and arms, when i stoopidly tried to block a couple licks......and my mom didnt use a belt, she had what looked like shoe strings braided together....now that left marks

One beating i remember off hand, i got for a dumb reason....Mama Dukes was in the military, so they taught her how to fold a certain way, so of course i had to fold this way too.....i was folding my underware, but i couldnt remember if i needed to fold the crotch in first then the sides, or the sides then the crotch, now mind you mom was siting on the floor right in front of me and poppin me everytime i folded something wrong, all the pressure had me nervous and confused, i couldnt think about anything but getting popped. I guess the undies was the straw that broke the camels back, cause ma excorted me to my room then proceeded to beat me, and when told to shut up and i didnt i got popped some more, ....i dont understand why the person beating you things you can stop your hollering and crying just casue they say so, that ish hurts, but i did some how managed to stop.....although one beating i stood and took it like a man, a few tears flowed but i wouldnt give my mom the satisfaction of me parting my lips....i called myself being tough

well thats one of my stories, what's yours....and if for some odd reason you didnt get beat as a kid, (yeah right) tell me about your worse punishment....

speaking of punishments, my mom took my privacy away one time, slam took my bed room door off the hinges, i dont even remember what i did, lol

Picture That

Ok yall know I can type a hole in your screen. But today, Ima save the words and just post the pics I've been promising for the last month or so....I'm sure Mr. I Aint Getting No Blog skimming self will appreciate that.

My new ride: 06 Altima


NY: My B-Day 06.
Yeah I took a self portrait of me fawked up, lol...



Bree's Bday at Ozio's


Miami





OK for some reason, this dirty old man kept hiking up his swim briefs in his ass. We were rolling.....

Did ya miss me,

Probably not, but im here anyway, so there (sticks out tongue). UGGGH i hate my posts in white, im glad i can change the color now....

First of all, let me send Mama Dukes, AKA: Cuddles, (yes my momma's nickname is cuddles, you got a problem with it....) A BIG HAPPY B-day....Yesterday she turned the big 49.....

I sent her this, although i ordered yesterday at noon, she got it at 6....

I told YOU she would get it on time, you shouldn't doubt me, last min. ppl like myself know how to work the system....

Now remember i told yall, i saw Hulk Holgan driving his Caddy up the strip, well i ran into his miniture at Cleavelandar's the day before we left...There was this dude dressed like hogan, im talking the rip away shirt, the yellow briefs, head band and all.....he jumped on the stage and put his hand to his ear, just like hogan, unfortunately he was immediately escorted off the stage....30 minutes later he jumped back on the stage again, but this time b4 security could get ahold of him, he jumped in the pool below the stage...so they kindly escort this 109 lbs, soken wet, holgan off there premises, while all the patrones booo....damn im mad i aint get no pic.....It was a sight to see

Spots I hung out in Miami you may wanna check out...... Cleavlandar's, Fat Tuesday's, and Mangos......In Hollywood, FL we went to The Hard Rock Casino, they have several clubs, shops, and resturants, on the premises....

Other ish..

This morn roommate guy got towed, I started to knock on his door to let him know i was leaving so he could move, but opted to look out the window, i saw no car and ASSumed he had left,

his dumb ass, instead of parking in the driveway or on the street, parked at the end of the drive way in the yellow. Said he's been doing it all week, so he wouldnt trap me in, what an idiot, plus it wasnt his car, all he had to do was park on the side street, im only 3-4 houses from the street, not a long walk at all....plus it wasnt even his car....it was a friend's car who just bought it from the auction yesterday....

I sent out my CPA application before i left, they cashed the check, looks like ima have to get my study on, like now....I'm just awaiting my NTS so i can officially schedule to take the exam in May, wish me luck.

Tips. Is it just me or is tipping getting way out of hand. Senario...While in the hotel i ordered some food. After they called to let me know the food was ready i went down to pick it up. I gave the cashier a couple extra bucks, so i could get back a $5. she proceeds to place the $2 on the counter and get me 3 ones out of the register, so i ask if she had any $5. So either she thought I was giving her a $2 tip or couldnt comprehend that i wanted a $5 and had no idea why i gave her 2 extra dollars.....Why would i tip you, you didnt deliver my food and you did not serve me...

Then me and bree order food from Friday's TO GO from the bar. When our food arrives i pay with my card, Bree asks if im paying the tip cash...I look at her like she's crazy, i'm like for what, we didnt even get drinks, she says thats what you're supposed to do, altough i disagree, i give him a 10% tip, damned if he was getting the 15-20% tip out of me, for doing much of nothing. So i ask her do you tip @ the fast food joint, cause he didnt do anything more than they do...she had nothing to say...but tried to say why do you tip a waiter than, im like cause he/she services me for my whole meal, it just aint the same, now am i wrong or is this tip thang gettin out of control.....Would you have tipped the Friday's bartendar in this scenario?
