Friday March 30th

I woke up this morning and I was in a GREAT mood. As I write this I'm smiling and very happy. Maybe because its payday..lol.. I'm not sure but I hope its a feeling I will have all day. Maybe its unspeakable joy because I can't explain it. Traffic was great this morning. I'm leaving work at noon today. I think I'm gonna buy a new Easter suit. LOL.. (y'all know you gotta look sharp with something new on Easter Sunday). The sun is shining this morning and I feel completely blessed.

Not sure why this is the TB of the day....but it was hot back in 1990 and I'm feeling powerful today

10 Things That Aggravate Me At Church

1. People who over use the tambourine. Everybody isn't meant to beat it. When you don't do it right it is truly aggravating and a nuisance. Keep still and sing like everybody else during the slow songs.
2. People who fake the spirit. Just cause your friend caught it don't mean you did too. If you running around the church and you stop out of breath after going only half way around we know you haven't been touched. SIT DOWN
3. People who constantly holla something to the pastor all during the message. We don't need a comment from you after every sentence he makes. We know he's "preaching" and we know he's talking to you." SHUT UP so I can hear him talk to me too.
4. People who constantly go to the bathroom. Nobody has to use the bathroom four times a service and you're clearly not on a date. SIT DOWN.
5. People who can't control their kids. If little Jay Jay is running all up and down the aisle and going back in forth to the bathroom then you need to learn not to SPARE THE ROD
6. People who take "Come AS YOU ARE" to a whole new level. I can understand if you going through. But if you got a fresh pair of
JORDANS on and a t-shirt there's a problem. I'll have to ask you to invest in some dress clothes. Since when is it OK for men to wear hats in the church and wear their pants to their ankles?
7. People who bring food to church. If you brought your little baby a little snack and you eating it dropping crumbs everywhere that's a problem. Take that Oreo and little Raekwon outside.
8. People who come to special church functions and criticize. If you standing in a corner gossiping about how you could've did a better job at something and you haven't volunteered to help with anything and haven't showed up to any invitations to join a ministry I'm a have to ask you to SHUT UP
9. People who obviously show they don't like you. If you
don't care for a person too much for whatever reason at least put up a decent front to look past it and act right in church. Don't cut a fool with your evil faces and smart comments.
10. Finally, parents that dress better than their kids.
If you come in looking like a model for a fashion show and little Ashley is dragging behind you looking like she belong on a Feed the Children commercial you are DEAD WRONG. Give your child a Just For Me perm, wipe your kids nose, comb your kids hair, buy them something decent to wear.Don't come out the house looking like a MILLION BUCKS while your kid looking like a FOOD STAMP.

It Was the Best of Times-1988-1990

I think I'm depressed again....lol

I have really been thinking back to when times were good.(like I always do). I have always stated that I think my favorite time in life had to be when I was in middle school. I can't really explain it other than it just was. Some of the best music in R&B came out from 1988-1990 when I was in the 7th and 8th grades respectively. That era is commonly known as New Jack Swing. Keith Sweat(say what you want but Keith was the man), Guy(best new jack group),Troop(owns my favorite song of all time),Karyn White, New Edition was reborn,Bobby Brown, Al B Sure,Christoper Wlliams, Janet Jackson and so many more just made the time period a CLASSIC. I think I may own every mp3 that was out during that time period(seriously). I got to meet so many new people in middle school. It wasn;t until 8th grade that I met my forever homie KK and we trip ALL of 8th grade. It was there I met David,Randy and so many others fellas and we just tripped out ALL THE TIME. Then something happened... I passed to the 9th grade and entered high school. The music was still great but the good times I had experienced in middle school weren't that great in high school. Honestly much of my time in high school was a blur....many of my friends I had in middle school either moved away(shout out to my homie Diral) or they didn't take advance classes and if they did we didn't have the same period. So in many ways I had to start anew and make new friends and that was hard for me. Also this was a time when I really had to mature and I can't say I was 100% successful. I didn't reach a 100% until college. It was just a weird time...LOL. I was academically fine in high school and socially ok but it lacked something. As I write this I'm still not sure what was missing in high school that didn't make it so hype for me.. On June 6,1994 high school ended and I couldn't have been happier. Again I didn't hate high school I just didn't have fun like I did in middle school. Even senior year wasn't exciting (even though the Class of 94 was da shit!!...lol). I'll be back with part two of my reflections on the next time the good times rolled for me....lol
