My resolution for this year or maybe not so much
resolution as this is how I want to live my life is I want to be able to hear
what people are saying. Sometimes I feel
like my breath is just wasted on folks who only see things one way and not even
consider that there is another option.
That to me is pretty limited and since I can’t change how others do
things, I can change how I do things in my life.
When I go to church… well you know I’m not always a
heathen just most of the time… I pray that I get a fresh new meaning from the
words. Being a church kid having grown
up in the church and conventions sometimes the same old scripture is just
rehashed over again and again. This past
Christmas season I didn’t get much YES we know the Lord got Mary
preggers!! YES we know Joseph went on
ahead and married her anyway cause all the angel told him it was alright! There was more but I forgot!!
There is something very calming about the Bing picture of
the day. I don’t know what it is but it
usually makes me smile!
It is the day before my birthday and I am feeling pretty
good! I think I have done a good amount
of self-reflection and me and myself are ok!
This is good because sometime I feel out of whack. 42 is the answer to the Ultimate Question of
Life so who really cares what the question is!?!?! That is a total nerd thing and as I have
realized I live in a nerd bubble that many folks do not reside. If you care it is from ‘The Hitchhiker’s
guide to the Galaxy’ a movie that came out in 2005. I saw a few years ago. It stars Zooey Deschanel and Mos Def AND Alan
Rickman (they were in “Something the Lord” made the movie about Dr. Blalock
(who by the way got a pretty shitty building at Hopkins LOL) at Johns Hopkins
and the blue baby syndrome yes I have gone off on a tangent because He (Alan
Rickman) is also part of the Harry Potter movie series more on that in a
second) and a bunch of other actors. It’s
of course Sci-fi.
I am now part of a new team at work. They put the 3 (lowly) contractors on a team
of people taken (or borrowed) from various areas to support the main team. The one guy I have noticed because he’s kinda
cute and has this body builder frame which it turns out he WAS a body
builder. When I first saw him I said He
look like Krum… stay with me here because I am on an excessive nerd tangent. So Viktor Krum comes to Hogwarts as part of
the Triwizard Tournament from the Drumstang school (this was an all-boys
school) and all the girls are like in love with him because he is a star
Quiddich player even Weasley has like a man-crush on Krum but then when
Hermoine decides she likes him Weasley is all ‘Krum is dumb’ because he sorta
is a dumb jock. So I meet my new team
mate (full circle moment) and I say to him you know what I thought when I saw
you? He’s like no, what? I said you look
like Krum from Harry Potter so he chuckles but then gives me this blank stare
so I had to wikia Krum and show him and then he turned red!! I was like all the
girls were falling for him because he was a quiddich player…. So you don’t like
Harry Potter?!?! He’s like Uuuhhh
no. I have to remind myself that there
are only a few people that GET IT. My
nephew and new niece-in-law, a guy I went to college with and another guy I
grew up with from church. Only 1 of my immediate gf’s have a clue about it the
rest would give me a blank stare like WTH is she talking about now!?!?! I
really geek out sometimes and get excited about stuff and folks are like
WHAT??! Like ‘Star Wars’ I won’t put any
spoilers here and I would like to see it again.
But I went to house warming and there was a girl there who had just saw
it and we were like kindred spirits! I
had to explain a few things to her from previous movies but there was a definitely
twinkle in my eye as I got to talk about it.
I need a nerd support group I really do.
There is a podcast I listen to, FanBros which is the ‘voice of the urban
geek’. But they do a lot with geek
culture heavy on comics and that’s not the kind nerd chick that I am. I like the Marvel series (Avengers) but I only
go as far as the movies and TV. They recently
did a top 12 of TV shows but it was heavy on British sci-fi and I hadn’t heard
of most of them. Anywho…
It still takes me a lot to see a dude in meggins. I was at Miss Shirley’s this Sunday meeting
my fellow 1/13 birthday chick for brunch.
This really beat faced chick in heels comes in and then the dude behind
her had on meggins. I tried hard not to stare
but I swear I couldn’t help it. I just
want to be like WHY?!?! I mean I get it,
they look comfortable but I can see your junk AND you wallet and anything else
you may have in your pocket. It’s just a
bad look!! There was another family with
the interracial gay couple. I try not to
judge and I’m really not, but I for a second I was like why is this white guy
telling this random black woman that he is getting buttermilk pancakes (oh my
stalking goes deep LOL)? So then I had to just take in the entirety of
the family. There were 2 older women
sitting. They were waiting for Dave who someone
saw with the baby. Dave drops… well not
DROP, puts the baby on the floor and the 2 women are like LET ME SEE THE BABY!!
The baby was knocked out and could not have cared. There was the mom and dad (of Dave and/or his
wife) and then the guy with the meticulous dreds in the very slim levi’s and
the white guy. It was all very regular
and everyone seemed happy to see everybody else and that is family in the
purest form. AW hell now I got a thug
tear threatening to roll down my cheek because I really do miss how my family
used to be. Just close and enjoying each
other’s presence. And not that we are
suddenly NOT close, but it takes an act of congress for us all to be together
on purpose. So they got called and went on their merry way. Then there was a table of what I think were a
bunch of my undergrad Sorors. I kinda
recognized one. They had so much weave.
Again not judging I to have what looks like a weave (no spell check I don’t
mean we’ve) done at the good Braiding House at the good Security Mall where not
1 but 2 people zipped through the halls on their hover board because that’s how
they live their lives. It took 5 hours although I thought it was only gonna
take 2. Thankfully I didn’t have
anything else to do that night so it worked out.
**this is so random I don’t even know why
ALERT**
Part of a Dave Chapelle joke is that a man on the beach
asks the women if they want to suck his balls because he has had cosmetic
surgery and they are as smooth as eggs!?!?!? I just youtubed it!! Um yeah this
is how I live MY life!!
