i was looking for a good title... random shit it is!!

When you go into the bathroom and you know instantly that she didn’t bothered to practice courtesy flushing.  And then the woman looks all guilty cause SHE KNOW she the one who made it smell all bad. It’s just not that hard ladies.  We all have to do what we have to do but COME ON!!

When you do Facebook stalking be sure to NOT like any pics and if you do cause you know fat fingers or whatever, unlike real fast and pray they don’t get a notification for everything that happens on their page.  I remember one time I was getting a notification for everything which can get real annoying and I mentioned that I saw what I know he had said on my page but then deleted it.  And then he tried to act like I was crazy.  NO FOOL I saw what you said and it’s not a big deal (cause it really wasn’t) but what you won’t do is act like it didn’t happen when it really did.

So of course I was doing a little Facebook stalking and got a little caught up in my feelings of nostalgia.   It used to be so much easier and I long for those days. Now it’s just hard!! Getting on the same page is near impossible and there are too many games that I just don’t have time for and too many babies and mamas to think about and schedules that don’t sync up and everything else in between.

WHY is there hair on my shit that aint mine!! AND WHY does that little girl have on DOUBLE platform shoes at work?!?!? Why does the mail dude always look a lil… off?  and lastly WHY is the first thing I see as I leave is the security guard's big butt?  Cause I like big butts and I cannot lie!! 

I don’t like busy bodies and to me that means folks (usually women) who are just always in everything when it does not concern them and/or they are always trying to be the center of whatever which is usually MESS!

I put the cat food upstairs because my finicky ass cat decided she couldn’t eat while someone else was in the room and here lately there is always someone in the room.  SO now this fool rushes downstairs and then is like OH SHIT my food is upstairs!!

For the life of me I do not understand why it is so hard for people to do their job.  I have had 50eleven jobs and I have always done not only what was required of my but sometimes I went above and beyond because that’s just what was called for. Now because of the environment I am in, folks are SOOOOOOOOOOO fucking busy all the time.  And y’all know I hate that as an excuse.  SO I ask you a direct question for information that should be at your fingertips but you want to send me to 2 other locations that I have to do the research!??!  NAH son... I'm good. I don't even need the info, this was for the director.  SO in the back and forth emails of you telling me what YOU not gon do, you coulda just gave me the damn information.  Let's see how accommodating I am when you need something from me... 

The reason for the blog today.  I have moved from my 'who gon check me' mode because really WHO IS gon check me? to 'How is that my problem?'  Lately it just seems like people have so many excuses that do not affect me in the way in which it affects them.  Your emergency is not MY emergency nor my priority!  And while I don't lack empathy, I'ma need for you to do what I need. For instance, my mom (aka the roommate) was just recently at a rehab facility that in retrospect didn't do much rehab at all, but anyway she was getting pain meds round the clock.  On a particular day i went to check with the nurse to see if he had given her the meds.  His response was well I am really busy and all these family members keeps asking me questions.  So you know I did a quick jerk reaction and I stopped just short of saying what the fuck do you mean?!?!  Instead I said EXCUSE ME? I AM a family member and my mother is in pain and you being busy  is not really my concern. His poor planning and not reading his notes led to her getting her meds 2 hours later than she should have.  so wait maybe that wasn't a good example... But ok (LOL) here is a better one, again dealing with the roommate, I have several caregivers because even though I have multiple skill sets, getting the gown over my mom's tight right arm has proven to be near impossible FOR ME!  These women come in here and have her dressed in 5 minutes.  So anyway the other night one of them said she needed to get here at 8.  I said well the hours are 7-7 so if you can't make it then.... So she proceeds to say OH BUT I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER HOURS!!! if it were on another day then I could do it.  The whole entire time she is talking I'm like How is that my problem?  I am all for people going back to school (which was her reason/excuse) so that they can do what they need to do in their lives.  But MY need is for someone to be at this here house in downtown Woodlawn from 7pm to 7am.  So no... not my problem.  

even when the condition is critical, your living is miserable, you position is pivital, I aint bullshiting you!!

NOW, why would I lie? just to get by...
My titles continue to be song lyric even though I am utterly convinced only a few know what the hell I'm talking about.  I saw this video the other day.  And Talib Kweli is on the talk show on HBO right now... Bill Maher so I knew this title was correct and right!

I sit at the 'crossroads' of the outer cube nation and the region which I have named the cube village. Smaller than cube nation but not quite big enough for a city... so village it is.  Folks come at stand looking hella lost usually because by the time they get to me they usually have come too far and need some assistance.  If they give me eye contact I usually will help them including the janitor who had the vacuum strapped to her back looking like a Ghost Buster!  I still don't know if someone got sick or what because I got so tickle by what she looked like.  And her English is not on fleek so it took a second for me to understand the location she was looking for.  
i like saying something is NOT on fleek because it's so funny to me.  His English was not on fleek.  Her driving was not on fleek... maybe because saying ON FLEEK is such a silly term to me.

I can't even remember when I wrote this so lets just act like it was yesterday...
I need for this woman to not only stop clomping past my desk but also STOP TALKING TO ME!! 1^st I always have my headphones on so I can never hear you.  2^nd you walk past my desk a bazillion and one times every day WHY do you think we have that much convo, we really don’t. 3^rd you have told me you are not busy, but that doesn’t mean I’m not.  LEMME LONE!!

Last night School Daze was on.  I loved that movie as a kid.  It definitely cemented in my brain that I needed to go to an HBCU so that I too could have that experience. I was struck by a few things. 1. Greeks are crazy!!  Meaning they (we) do some real questionable things in the name of love for the frat or sorority.  Looking from the outside in why WOULD you want to get your ass beat to belong to any organization?  
I had more thoughts... but like I said this was a few weeks ago. What I was thinking about also was sex scenes that changed my life.  Well you know as a kid when you see people having the secks on the big screen it affects you.  SO I was like 13/14 when School Daze came out so when I saw Tisha Campbell licked ALL over Dean Big Brother ALL-MY-TEE, I was like are you supposed to do alladat for a dude?  Cause I just don't know about licking his head AND brands.  That's a lil nasty!  And even today at 41 it's still a little nasty.  I'ma leave that right there.  Another scene was the barn scene from Purple Rain.  I was a little younger and a little more impressionable and my sister convinced my mom that it would be ok to take me but my little eyes almost bugged completely outta my head when Apollonia was having the secks with Prince!  Prince is 5 foot nothing and he got ALL the girls and I understood right then and there why he did!! All I remember thinking was OOOHHH!!!

The roommate chronicles continue but they are little less funny than they were before.  Mainly because the decline has been severe and rapid.  What I think is funny now might not be to others, but laughter cleanses the spirit.  Like the time I tried to change her gown and i just couldn't get it over her right arm so I said fuck it and threw a sheet over her.  The aid was coming in a few hours and it's summer so she wasn't gonna freeze.  I have 3 African angels that see my face and know I don't know what the hell I'm doing and just care for my mother with such gentleness that I don't even think she appreciates but I SOOO DO!!  And then I also have a Baltimore angel who talks my ear off cause she is my might person but she is a sweetie pie and has a genuinely good heart.  I have a team cause I know I can't do it alone!  Things are really going well so I can't complain.  

I witnessed some road rage that was freaking hilarious last week.  So they are redoing Red Run and McDonogh near my job.  Whoever job it is to paint the lines didn't do a complete job.  There should be 2 lanes making the left onto Red Run, but some folks got confused and decided to make the inner most non-lane a lane and that created some issue.  So the BIG truck was in the wrong but the little Fiesta (any car that's a lil ass hatchback is a Fiesta to me) got mad and they were fussing back and forth through the window.  Dude in the Fiesta told the Truck guy to PULL OVER SO I CAN KICK YOUR ASS!!!  Well truck dude was all mouth cause he just kept driving and keeping pace with the Fiesta dude and I couldn't get around.  Alls I wanna so is get home at this point but these 2 idiots are trying to see who is bigger CLEARLY the Fiesta dude cause he was ready for a fight whereas truck dude made a left into Foxridge and then Fiesta dude drove away. It was funny because nothing really happened.  I usually just fuss in my car at whatever dumb shit the person in front of me or beside me is doing, but I'm not sure what I would actually do if I was challenged.  That's like George following the guy all the way to whatever far off borough because he though the guy gave him the middle finger when in actuality he had a cast on his arm and the middle finger was placed in an up position.  Goerge was SO MAD but then he felt silly after the fact.  Road rage can be dangerous so I think I will stick to fussing at people from the car.  OHy ou gon get called a few choice words and that makes me feel better about my life!!
