if u need luv, im luvin, if u need a thug, im thuggin, if u need a hustler...whatever u need.

So I have been workin out lately, and really feel more energized. I swear I have gained some arm width....


Old arms....

New arms....

ok not really,...but I do feel more energized and determined to do other stuff in a more legit manner...

(i hate the word "manner" btw)



Restaurant Review:
Thai Ocean on the corner of 8th and Vermont...i took a picture of the food, but it aint even worth it for me to put it up on here...wasnt horribly nasty, but was lame, boring, and bland. I support family-owned small businesses and all that snoogle joogle, but just try to perform at a rate that impresses simple ol' me...Im not that hard to please. 3rd time with Thai food for me, and i think i have come to the conclusion that it is not my cup o' tea...i might as well have paid to get served an order of peppered water...not the bees knees.

I hate to bring bad news to you guys, my faithful readers, but truth is what truth is...RAW!

Get a good nights rest everybody (good morning to Obs and Abungu in Paris). And remember it's still BHM! Celebrate while u can!

I made a chicken salad today for dinner and this picture I took awhile back reminds me of chicken salad (and Thailand, even though Ive never been there, for some reason)



probably my third or fourth most favorite song of all time, beezy...

tomorrow: exercise, shower, eat, work, study, eat, class, work, eat, study, class, eat, study, shower, bed, do it again...




The moom moves slowly, but it crosses the town.

faith has brought us here, and we should be together, but we're not.

have had the apartment to myself since Thursday, tis lovely. Hope everyone's St. Valentine's Day was good to 'em. I got two candy "gifts" for the love-filled holiday, both from students that I tutor. (sorry kids, but i didnt eat that ish) Here's one of em...I have no idea what it is, but it looks kinda neat...I can kinda imagine what it tastes like, and I dont tink Id like it that much......


(wth doez Pulparindo mean?)



Speaking of things consumed, I'm going to attempt to eat healthier foods again, it's hard...


It's food like this that gets me confused...you know those meals almost on the verge of being alright, but then it's an element or two that just messes it up for the whole meal....


A part of me just wants to say eff it, and take in everything I see that looks tasty, but then I think about why almost every person over 35 in my family has high cholesterol, high blood sugar, etc....and I realize I gotta try out this thing called "moderation"

K guys, gotta go, I can hear somebody arguing outside my window and I wanna go listen....they are LOUD!


When spider webs unite, they can tie up a lion.

wanna see MY old neighborhood????

It's hard to explain car culture amongst African Americans in Texas, because it sounds like one is always exaggerating....but thats NOT the case...everyone, and i mean everyone fixes up their car...I have been all over the country and have yet to see another area with nearly the same amount of customized cars...it's amazing, it really is....

(You may think to yourself, 'wth?...this is a dumb post.' But please try to realize that I try to give as much of me as possible without you delving deep in my personal life, and felt this little tidbit of a video may give you a glimpse into my life outside of USC.)

sheesh

Hey yall.
Cross your fingers and pray that I dont get fired from this library job of mine. I have to work early mornings, and sometimes I just don't go.
I have a really really really bad problem when it comes to getting out of bed in the morning, no matter how much sleep I have gotten...I just cant get up.
And that was the case this morning....I just couldnt get up...and I didnt go to work....
I exaggerated some symptoms of sickness I had to my boss so that maybe he would feel sympathy for me....blehhhh



If anyone has a remedy to my oversleeping/morning-laziness, please let me know....

facebook video comments...

...have changed my life...got me out of this state of mind i been in ..kinda.




Im a little disturbed at my university for labeling February "Diversity Month" and putting up flyers all around for it. As most people know, it is CLEARLY Black History Month, or as my friends call it "BHM". USC could do two things imo 1.) recognize that it is BHM and do watever to bring it to attention or 2.) not recognize it at all, and stay quiet about it. Once again, I'm a little upset over the flyers I have seen around that have been labeled for "Diversity Month"....wth?


USC has no right to take our shine like that....how can one just change up HISTORY that has been in place since the days of Carter G. Woodson? cmon, ..really? They could at least have the noon-time bells play "Lift Every Voice and Sing" once or twice.


GEEZ.



Carter does not look happy right now....
