so I’m driving down 695 yesterday and for some reason Michael Baisden is playing something WHACK! I mean I like old school just as much as the next late 30’s person, but if he play ‘Square biz’ by Teena Marie one mo gin I am gonna scream! So then I start my radio shuffle and start with 1 which is 92Q (yeah I give people grief about listening to this station but every once in a while they play some non rap) So on the station they are playing go-go and to be more specific Chuck Brown. And I’m like hole UP… do I have the right station, so I look down and yes. Hmmm WHY are they playing go-go on 92Q?!?!? What the heck is going on. and then the announcer comes on ‘R I P Chuck Brown!’ And I’m like wait WHAT?!? And then I hit 2 which is 95.5 they are playing Chuck Brown, I hit 5 which is 93.9 THEY are playing Chuck Brown. Then I go back to 3 which is Majic 95.9 and Michael B is talking about Chuck Brown. AWWW HELL and that’s when the water works started. And it’s not so much that I was a huge Chuck fan and I used to always joke that he was 150 yrs old, but it’s like EVERYONE is just dying and I can’t handle it. I can tell you where I was for everyone this year... Whitney: I was folding clothes and got a text from my sister and call from my girlfriend who was DISTRAUGHT. Heavy D: I had just got off 695 and was going to another girlfriends house to make sure her trash can was in her yard and then my sister called and the water works started because my dad liked Heavy D (it was a random thought but he really did and since he’s gone that made me start thinking of him). Now Dick Clark I saw something on FB about Chubby Checker (and his afro wig or weave LAWD I don’t know what is on top of that man’s head) and then my little baby cousin said YOU DIDN’T HEAR!?!? And nope I hadn’t. And those are just the celebrities. My girlfriend’s mother just passed away a few weeks ago and she was devastated. And as much as you say to someone it is not their fault and they did a good job as a care taker, people think what they are going to think and it is a process of mourning and grieving when you lose someone close to you. I have had several vendors who have had to stop work because of funerals. It just seems like here lately not a day has gone by where someone has not been affected by a recent death.
I don’t know why this is a recent epiphany or as Oprah would say, an AH HA moment, but I really do not like when people think I don’t know what I’m doing. I had someone ask me if I knew the difference between a month and a quarter and I think if that prick was anywhere close to me I would have beat him within an inch of his life. NO SERIOUSLY did you just fucking ask me that?!? So you think I don’t know the difference between 1 month which is 30 days and a quarter which is 3 months and about 90 days??? I am still a little hot about that whole situation ESPECIALLY since I didn’t do anything wrong and the information provided was correct both in MONTH and QUARTER form. I hate being in proof mode where I have to prove it to you. AND WHO ARE YOU!? I know this is an insecurity I have to get over and not be so emotional about. But some days it just be like that. AND ANOTHER THING I do not have the gift of sight. I can’t read your mind I JUST CAINT!! So stop saying things like ‘if I forget something you have to remind me’ because that doesn’t work for me. If you forget something then you are SOL cause you sure as hell didn’t bother to tell me so how am I supposed to remember?!?!
I sit in an office in the back of my office and even though I know the mailman is an older gentleman, when he comes in and starts talking I always want to get up and see who it is. And then when I do it’s like ooooohhh.. : / He’s a nice guy, but he has kids my age so I need to tell him to have his son stop by LOL.
I just got an impromptu rendition of ‘don’t nobody bring me no bad news’ which was kind of rough so I won’t mention no names to protect the innocent. But I am right now in that mode Don’t nobody better bring me no bad news!! I mean it!! I can only handle good news right now. So if it’s bad… tell me tomorrow.
I have come to the realization ALL cats think they are invisible. For some reason there are a gang of cats that strut about my community like they are paying mortgage. And honestly if they are taking care of the critters before they enter my house it’s all good in the downtown hood! But last night I opened up my back door and this very orange Garfield looking tabby stops in her place an looks at me as if to say ‘you can’t see me so stop looking at me bitch!!’ But I had to bust her out I said OH yes I can see you YOU’RE ORANGE!! The grass is green, you don’t blend sweetie!
Ok the new pest control guy is kinda cute MARRIED but still kinda cute, which is good seeing as how we did not get the cute UPS driver today. I always check the ring finger like so if he wasn’t married were we going out a date tonight?!?! Well I’d like to think I have enough mack diva skills to pull that off, but I don’t know LOL
NO NOT DONNA SUMMERS!!! Oh LAWD… I caint take no mo!!
