American Avarice

I'm going to do a documentary on Americans and free stuff.. I think it needs to be a weekly show. I'll Follow around people who stock pile food.. Maybe put an ad in the paper for a free gallon of milk or something and watch how people react.

My brother's friend went to popeyes the other day when they had the 8 piece for 5 dollar special... well, he took advantage of the special quite a few times at many different locations!! Something like 48 pieces of chicken... Who can eat that much chicken? and WHY?  Not to mention the 20 bucks in gas he's out from traveling the tristate to collect his chicken.

These last few weeks there have been lots of free food specials- free ice cream cone at ben & jerry's, discounted popeyes chicken, tomorrow there is 1 piece of kfc baked chicken with no purchase necessary.. It's brought out the worst in people. I intend to document it!!

Fine Brotha cologne?

I'm convinced. There is a certain type of fragrance that great looking men wear. Not sure what its called, but it smells GREAT. I'm also convinced that is only available to men who look a certain way.

Here's the scenario:

Fine Man enters Macy's and walks up to the fragrance counter

Fine Man: Good Afternoon, I'd like to buy some cologne

Sales Associate (Female): Certainly! *does double take* Sir, Is that Swagger I sense? *presses button under counter that activates secret door* Sir, step through this door I have just the scent for you

And in this secret room are 3 exclusive colognes that smell like heaven on earth and don't involve "musk"

Just a thought

I'm sure of it though! Fine Men Smell FINE!

dating advice...

It's funny to watch friends that are younger than me, become me. They really do look up to me, they copy my style of dress, and adapt similar attitudes toward issues. I guess I should be flattered. I don't really talk to them about dating, I'm kind of private when it comes to that. I just reappear after 6-9 months with an ex.. lol

I gave my first bit of dating advice to a friend and she didn't take it which reminds me that she hasn't fully evolved.

She went out on a 'date' with a man the other day. She was upset because she didn't pick her up, his car was in the shop. She met him at the club a few nights before and didn't really get a great look at him. When she saw him in the daylight, she wasn't satisfied with his appearance to say the very least. So, she had to pick him up, and they went to the mall, to the movies and then he suggested that they go to a buffet for lunch. All of this, she was dissatisfied with.

He called her later that night to say that he had a good time. She didn't answer. He called her again a couple days later. She didn't answer. Her approach: ignore him and he will go away. My advice: You need to tell him something, because #1 you may see him again, and #2 even if you don't see him again, its just the right thing to do. I hate having to figure things out on my own. He deserves closure.

I had a situation (totally unrelated to dating-- it was actually in my professional life) and I had to figure out the bad news on my own. As the pieces of the puzzle came together, I almost wanted to die. I swear, figuring out bad news on your own must be what dying alone feels like. It's the worst!

In this situation, it's probably not that serious but, if you are going to date, like an adult, you have to face the music, be open and honest and not just let things linger. You can eat at the buffet and watch the movie ON HIM.. at least say something..  

That's my opinion.. Xangans... What do you think? Closure... or let things linger until the poor sap figures it out?

Its such an exciting time for our country. Many are shouting hope change and progress!! But I cant help but feeling hopeless forlorn and stagnant. Ive been in what has proven to be more than just a passing mood.I feel this way in my personal, and professional life. im feeling underappreciated, taken advantage of. DUe to the economic situation everyone is working 2 times as hard as usual and the official communication is that there will be much less money and many more layoffs to come.Beyond this, Im so tired of fighting for things that I am entitled to already. Im completely past the point of listening to 'that person who tries to be the voice of reason' say that I should be happy to just have a job, your health and strength. True. I could be worse off. I could be better off.

I usually start to reflect at this time of the year. I think about those resolutions I made and didnt keep and I say next year will be different and its always the same.... I think about all the people I used to care about but cant any longer. failed relationships, broken promises, small victories that proved to be just small wins with no victory in the bigger battle. I think about those missteps, slip ups, all too numerous to name. Wasted time, wasted money, wasted emotion, wasted hope... all this to be disappointed again at year end. Im wondering if this path im forging is a shortcut to hell.. or if Im on my way out of it.. or going in a circle. It could be worse but It could be better...
