Random Question

Is it wrong or selfish to stop giving advice to a person? Especially if you don't have the desire to be bothered with 'em at the moment?

A thought for Friday...

Hush...it's a blessing!

I told a close friend this last night when he was shocked by how fast his latest creative endeavor has taken off. When something is going good for you, enjoy the ride, don't take time to question your success. If anything, build on it!

This Shirt Is Very Cincinnati

It's a collaborative effort between the companies Rogue Status and Unheard of, which is based out of Cincy.

Nice to see Cincinnati getting recognitions for something positive for once...

Thinking of You

I may not mention it much, but I really do miss my Dad. Today more than usual - he would have been 60 years old. It's been about 7 years since he passed - that 'anniversary' will take place on October 25th.

Mom is going out to his cemetary plot today. She goes whenever she can get a ride. Even if I had my liscense I'm not sure if I would go out there that much; if I can visit once a year that's enough. On that note, I've filled my quota for this year. It's way too emotional for me, just a constant reminder that he's not here with Mom and I. It's bothersome enough to see her in tears when she thinks about him, so I try to hold back and be strong for the both of us. That plan doesn't work all the time, I have to let the tears out too.

So far it's a calm day, a usual work day. There should be enough assignments for me to work on so I won't have to reflect on how my Dad fought to survive. I know in my heart that he wouldn't want me to be worried about him or just in a worrying at all. He's in a much better place I suppose.

Looking Boy!


This video right here, just plain ol' silly!

Lookin Boy - Official Video from Raydio G on Vimeo.

"Being Sick Sucks" or "Thank Goodness for Benefits!"

I was torn between two titles. :) Sue me.



A week ago today I was sitting at my desk at work after lunch and began to felt woozy all of a sudden. Like almost to the point of loopy if that makes any sense. My body got hot, cold, then hot again. My throat began to hurt worse than your typical sore throat and ached terribly. Somehow I managed to sit there for the remainder of my shift and went home to attempt to take a nap. That didn't work at all, I spent the rest of the night burning up. The only reason I stayed at work the rest of the day was to meet a deadline, which didn't work out well since I was working at half or even a third of my normal speed.


After spending the night roasting and trying to attempt decent sleep I came into work on Thursday and proceeded with my looming deadlines, hoping to get something accomplished before the day was through. I felt like crap before I even got to work and tried to schedule an appointment. All booked, and the one available one was off the bus line. Crap. So I had to wait until noon to get an appointment at urgent care, which didn't open until 5:30 that evening. No big deal, I wanted to attend my community council meeting to be nosey and to also pitch an idea for my job. Got that off the list - done & done. Finally went to urgent care and I was told I had strep throat and a fever of 101! I'm still trying to figure out how I functioned all day like that and able to look normal for two friends that stopped down to my job during the day. Higher powers, stubbornness & denial I suppose.

The doc recommended that I stay home from work on Friday and start a round of antibiotics (ew, and I'm still taking these pink horse pills!). No big deal until I got up Friday morning. I went out for awhile shopping and what not. Did the same on Saturday for good reason --- Mom and I went to my best friend's baby shower. She's having a boy, it's an exciting time for her & the hubby and the rest of the fam. Her delivery date is near my birthday. :) He would be a nice birthday gift! :) My friend's younger brother was trying to put the baby hex on me, I practically squirmed out of my chair and under the table shouting "nooooo!" and kept to my commitment of getting a dog or a fish bowl first. As selfish and stubborn as it may sound, I'm not ready for kids!

Out of guilt, I spent my Sunday indoors laying around doing a whole bunch of nothing. Attempted to go to work Monday and Tuesday but lasted only through lunch. Still got my priority projects completed somehow. Today was my first full day back since last Thursday.

This past week has been a serious reality check. I haven't been this ill in a long time, if ever. Man I'm getting old! lol
I felt uncomfortable taking that many days off work, and not being able to sit still long enough to rest up, but good to know that I had some sick hours stacked up to cover me. Yes, I'm very thankful for sick hours.

Catching Up

-I got a promotion at work (really I applied for a full-time gig in my field...and got it!) No more working weekends, unless it's a special event.

- I did that 5k, in the pouring rain! Who cares, I got a medal to show for it! First 5k
I would like to do another one real soon.

-Still no L's, not yet. Gas is expensive, but I'm really want to drive to IKEA which is not on the bus line, and out of town for that matter. A road trip sounds so good right now.

-Loving the music thing! My friend Jayce Miguel had a showcase this past Saturday and the people came out & supported! Lots of love to all those who came through, including my cousin & her friend who went along with me to the show. So far 2008 has been a good year for N'Depth recordings, with lots more to come!
take one - not quite ready
Best pic of the night at the May 31st showcase. Candids=hilarious!

-I was a bridesmaid in my friend's wedding. Another friend & one of my cousins who attened said that I'm going to be like that chick from 27 Dresses. Damn y'all, where's the love? LOL


-My official birthday countdown begins: 1 month as of today June 2nd :)

-A great friend of mines is for California this week to work in his field. I'm gonna miss him. I want to tell him in the most loving way possible "Don't come back!"

Considering it's about 3 minutes until 2/14...


I can be moody about this day, but I'll make the exception for this song, Happy Valentine's Day by Outkast (Andre 3000):




My favorite lines:
-When arrows don't penetrate / See, Cupid grabs the pistol
-Ya won't believe in me / but you would fancy leprechauns or groundhogs / No thank you, Easter Bunny!
-Everyday the 14th!


Andre 3000 is the ish for this track!

Happy 2008!

Blowing the dust off this blog...

Looking back at last year's post some of my goals remain the same.

-Network more
-Exercise some
-Eat better
-Avoid drama
-(finally) get that L's

But new ones to the 2008 list:

-Take the GMAT exam & look at business schools
-Work smarter, not harder (a new colleague of mines just dropped that gem today)
-Walk a 5k! I already have one picked out. That's going to be one long weekend. I'm working at the full marathon the next day!
-Get this music stuff underway. I'm working with two artists right now and I'm definitely looking forward to the great things to come from that.
-Watch my finances closely. Even bought a new bank to put my change in. Meet Hoots:
Photobucket
Cute huh?


I've been looking forward to 2008 for a couple weeks. Just ready for that fresh start to get more goals accomplished and crossed of the list. Let's go!!!
