Monthly Archives: January 2009

Sidenote:Someone tried to put me on to extemporaneous speeches the other day. She felt real special that she was telling me something new. I let her have her moment but honestly, it was the first thing they taught in Mrs.What’s Her Name’s Communication 101 class.

My weekend was a pretty decent one all things considered.
-I regained my touch in pool, I had fallen off recently and was beginning to lose just a bit too much. Once I get in that zone though…GOODNIGHT, thanks for coming, better luck next time.
-I also went DVD shopping and bought nothing but comedies. I have way too many serious movies in my catalog. Everything is some thought provoking drama or mafia movie. It felt good just to laugh and chill. “Hitch”, “Along Came Polly” and “Meet The Fockers” were some of the titles.
-Swore to myself that I’m done with my bakery addiction. It makes no sense to go 21 years without ever drinking or smoking but you can’t say no to a chocolate chip cookie or a blueberry muffin. If not for pastries I would probably be in Spartan-like shape right now. I’m taking it one day at a time though. Hopefully I don’t relapse.
-I got in one of those zones this weekend where I’m ready to make some more changes in my life. I’m never ever satisfied. Happiness is fleeting. You don’t just catch it and hold on to it forever. It’s something you have to work on constantly. Don’t know what’s going to come of the new changes but I just know a couple of adjustments must be made. I’ve been stressed out more days in 2009 than all of 2008 combined.
-I think the cause of that stress is because last year I just worked freely without pressure. This year I’ve put tons and tons of pressure on myself to accomplish certain things in a timely manner. Unfortunately when you’re surrounded by people who don’t share the same “fierce urgency of now” mentality, you have to wait…and wait…and wait some more. In school I was always the person that would do the whole groups work as opposed to risk having some slacker mess it up. Some teachers commended this “go getter” attribute while others encouraged me to “be more of a team player”. I’m still confused till this day.
Sidenote:Michael Jordan once said “there’s no I in team but there is an I in win”
-There’s a good chance I’ll be waving goodbye to DC some time this summer or maybe even sooner.
#1 Reason:I’ve operated from the same 10 mile radius for 12 years straight. If not for the exposure from going to George Mason for those 2 years, I would be an around the way n*gga…we all know how that movie ends.
#2 Reason:Financial.
#3 Reason:Everyone I look up to historically always made their biggest leap career wise after changing settings. Even if it’s just for a year or two.
#4 Reason:Mrs.Phella is somewhere on the road. I’ve always known the final person I would settle with would be from out of town. Just not sure where exactly, but I’ve had the premonition already.
#5 Reason:I’ll be able to play songs like “I’ll Be Gone Till November” and cry.
-I learned something really really insightful and it just escaped my mind as I typed this. See why I like blogging from the phone? It was a gem too that I really wanted to share, oh well..maybe I’ll remember another time.
-In other news, The Famous Firm has a big February in store. January started off very strong and the second month of the year should will be a bigger one. Expect a multitude of surprises.
-If you look to the right of this blog and scroll down a bit, you’ll see I have a CBox now. Basically you can type random short messages and stuff there. I’ll be using that to basically microblog since everyone doesn’t have a twitter.
-Steve Nash got dunked on so bad. My GOD!!!!!! Stop taking charges Steve and move out the way.
