SNOW DAY!!

well kinda sorta not really.. but why does it feel like when it snows and people don't come to work (or "work from home") it feel like a snow day in the office. Like you don't really feel like doing much of anything even though the load of ALL that you have to do has not lessened... but it's a snow day, right?!? I have been off task since I heard folks weren't coming in. And even in this nice serene setting where I could actually get some stuff done I am lolly gagging...

What I am doing is catching up on some new music. Fusicology is this site that has alot of information of things going on in many areas specifically DMV... mostly DC. For some reason I have been turning the radio on more and more in the car and I sit there and wonder why the heck I did it cause nothing is ever on. And that Trey Songz song... something about some good good love... it is so dumb. the video that I can never seem to sit all the way through is even dumber. Don't get me wrong Trey could get it with his cute little self... but I digress. The music is just so bad on the radio and I feel like I have to get back to my R&B-neo soul-house roots. There is just some really good music out there from people who just don't get the regular rotation on regular radio. So I have to go online. I am still a faithful listener to Handzonradio.fm where all 'my' house DJ's play. But then I also listen to Cyber Jamz and have no good idea what happened to Neo Soul Cafe. That site got me in lots of trouble with the purchas of a lot of good stuff like Sy Smith... Chokolate... DJ Spinna... HEAVy... just so much stuff!! So there is good music out there from people who can sing and write song with substance (not just about the dumb shit Jamie Foxx keeps writing about... I am so disappointed in him... I guess I expected to much from him). I went to see Ledisi this past Sunday. She has always been a great performer. It was hilarious to me that she got a nod from the Grammy's as a new artist even though she already had several independent albums or I guess cd's under her belt.

ok.. i guess I better go do some work now : /

Happy New Year!!

Yeah yeah yeah… I know I'm a little late, but the sentiment is still very much there. I am so glad I was able to make to this year of our Lord and little baby Jesus 2011. The way I was talking about how much I didn't like 2010, for a minute I thought I wasn't going to make it out. Like something tragic was going to happen and I was gonna be a goner. But I'm really a lot more optimistic than pessimistic so… I MADE IT!!

My new year's eve plans were thwarted when those sons of bitches canceled my bartending gig. Which I mean, could I have used an extra few hundred dollars SURE; but I was able to hang out with some of my girlfriends and I really had a great time! The onliest sad thing is I really didn't get my flirt on like a good chick should! The men were either too young or too old OR too already in a relationship; and my goal is never to break up no happy home or kinda sorta ok home. So no good flirterations went on.

I didn't make NO freaking resolutions!! Every year I try and pull that 'oh I just want to be a better me' crap and sometimes I am, sometimes I'm not. But I just didn't make one, either out loud to the world or just to myself. I know what I have to do and making a proclamation is not going to make it happen any faster. I will say this, watching a few shows on the good ole Tee Vee (as Mr Wrong… citypaper's every other, other weekly columnist says) does spring me into action. One show in particular, Hoarders. I don't know how ANYONE can watch that show and not feel compelled to clean and throw shit away. I do think most of those people have some mental issues cause how in the world do you justify not throwing trash away? When people have a collection, like say comic books, or beer cans (that episode was really crazy) I can kinda get where they are coming from for not wanting to throw it away. But just out and out trash is so gross. The bugs and rodents alone should make you want to get it together. And the folks with the QVC and HSN boxes just lined up, they forgot what they bought. It's just sooo sad. The other show that gets me motivated is The Biggest Loser. Now I have never been a little girl; even when I was a little girl I always had a belly and I'm pretty sure I had boobs early on. Even as an adult right now this is the largest I have ever been, but I just don't know how you get to be over 3 or 4 hundred pounds? I mean I guess I do… go to work (or not then you're depressed cause you aint got no job so you have an excuse), come home, don't eat right, don't exercise, drink too much, don't drink enough water, eat too much fried food, don't eat enough veggies or fruit (but drink V8 fusion which is NOT a substitute people!!), know the right thing to do, but just don't do it!! This season there is an Olympian. If you had to get and stay in shape once… you know how to do it again. There has also been ex-military specifically Marines so you KNOW they know how to get in shape.

So in response to all of this, I threw away pretty much everything on my dining room table and I'm taking my butt to Zumba so I can get it in gear.

I am excited for what this year has in store! It can't be no worse than last year it just CAINT!! So here I go on a journey not far far away… but near near LOL ok I'm done!!
