I've been sick for the last three weeks. I went to the doctor last week and he gave me some medicine. Appearently I was having bronchial spasms. I was coughing like crazy. When I coughed it made my head hurt. Thankfully, I'm better now. Being sick really makes you appreciate not being sick.
I found out yesterday that my man Derrick is getting married next year. Congratulations Big D! It's funny because I used to go to school both him and Diana. Diana at Oxon Hill and Derrick at Surrattsville. I'm definitely going to have to throw him the best batchelor party ever in the history of parties.....Oh wait. Am I the best man????

I am the white man's bitch. A relatively well paid bitch, but a bitch nonetheless. If he says "jump!", I say "How high? When would you like me to jump? And would you like a report about the effectiveness of my jump?". I'm not complaining, it is what it is. I choose to be his bitch because being broke is no joke...If I'm so blessed to have kids one day, I hope my children appreciate this shit! I could be living it up in my grandparent's house (speaking of which, I need to call my grandmother) in Jamaica, picking mangos and running barefoot up and down the place. But, I have to make my own way in life, so I choose to wake up every morning and to donate my time and energy to a white man's dream hoping that he'll continue to share his crumbs with me. One day I'm going to gather my crumbs and buy my own little spot in the Carribbean near a beach, where I will spend many a day barbequeing and drinking Smirnoff Ice with with friends, while the children run around and play, hopefully some of those kids will be mine. Thinking of it, makes day go by so quickly...I gotta go jump now. Peace

I am the one you denied
Brushed off every time I tried
But im alright
I'm able to swallow my pride
And put all the bullshit to the side
If you ready to ride
I'm down for a one night stand
I'll accept it any way that I can
Cuz i aint yo man
I'll try for whatever its worth
Just remember who played who first
It's funny how some songs just seemed to have been written just for you...I'm looking for a car now. I saw this Expedition that's at a really good price, I'm gonna try to get it. I have a last driving lesson on Sunday. Everybody's going to Houston this weekend. I wish I could go, but I gotta take care of this license thing first. I know it's gonna be tight because around 15 girls and only 3 dudes are going. It's cool though, because when Memorial Day comes around I'm gonna be riding fly all the way to Miami.

The database is not working properly so I have a little free time on my hands. Free time usually means that I start having these deep intellectual conversations with myself in search of truth and understanding of complex issues...I started thinking about wealth. It seems so simple, buy things that people are going to want in the future. Easier said than done, of course. The way wealth was created when North America was first settled by the Europeans, people would hunt down an animal, skin it then sell the fur. Based on the prices of fur, I'm sure the demand for fur is just as high today. But if I tried to go into the fur business, it's not as easy as going out into the woods with a shotgun....Not that I plan on becoming Davey Crockett or anything, but the point is that roadblocks have been created by the government to prevent wealth building the way it's been done in the past. I believe this is in large part due to lobbying by those who currently make their wealth in that industry to reduce competition. The question I ask myself, can the lessons of the past be applied to other countries? |

I'm glad to see that the elections in Haiti went off without a major hitch. I would like to take a trip there before the year is over. Even though I'd like to go to Africa and Brazil one day, Haiti is a lot closer and is dealing with many of the same problems.
I found a way to get home for only $1.25. It requires that I take two buses and go a long a way. I did it for the first time yesterday. I missed the connecting bus by a few minutes so I had to wait a long time for the next bus to come. It was hella cold but I didn't mind because I know when payday comes around again next week I'll have a few more bucks in the bank account. Now if only I can make this into a habit I'll really can save a lot...After Katrina I think every black person should own a car, because that bus may never come to get you. I can't tell other people to get a car when I don't have one for myself.
I'm starting an organization called the Black Wealth Movement(BWM). One of the things I'd like to promote in BWM is a minumum standard of living (MSoL) for every black person in the country. We would promote companies and policies that help in achieve this standard and we would vigoursly fight companies and policies that makes it harder to achieve this standard. The BWM is not only for those at the bottom of the economic ladder, it will also be a source of information about places to invest & divest money to take advantage of the ever-changing marketplace.
Examples of things in the MSoL:
- You should have at least 4 weeks worth of non-perishable food.
- Every black person of age should have a driver's license and own a car. If you don't have a car you should have enough to buy a car in good enough condition to be able to drive accross the country.
- You should have an emergency fund with at least $1000 in a bank account |

I just came back from lunch with my boss and a co-worker. We went to a thai resteraunt nearby. I always order the same thing, Ka Tiem, it's a marinated pork with rice. Yum! It's weird because my co-worker has a daughter that's my age and another that goes to college with my brother...my boss, he's the a finacial analyst that probably makes well in excess of 100K a year and he has wife a couple of kids. It was hard finding things to talk about when there is such an age difference. I can't talk about my kids, because I don't have any...that I know of. They aren't that into sports, so the superbowl conversation went nowhere fast. How do you engage people who don't share your interests? I really am tired about talking about the weather.
It's been about six months since I last took a good look at my finances. My net worth has grown $4573. Which is not bad, but I can seriously improve that by not spending so much. A simple statement, but it's hella difficult to do. I no longer have money going to my 401k, my company has moved me from the for-profit magazine to the non-profit association. So, now I have a 403b. I just started it, so my actual total is closer to $200 but I'm not sure what it is yet. I'm not too happy about this, even though the company match is the same I have a more limited options when it comes to investments. My dad recently came into a chunk of money so he's looking at buying a house in the Atlanta area, I think he's willing to let me invest in it with him. That'll be great because I've been wanting to buy real estate for a long time...I messed up my credit awhile back so hopefully having a house will make it easier for me to have access to capital.

I want so very badly to be a leader, a revolutionary, a man of grand ideas. I'm hindered by my need for acceptance, my fear of lonliness, and a lack of focus. I have to figure out a way around these things. How can I turn nothing into something? How can I make myself more valuable tommorrow than I was yesterday? How do I convince people to follow me? How can I be better? |

My Jamaican friend, Winter came by the office yesterday to pick up some money. She joined the army and hurt herself so now she's on disability. She brought her little sister with her. She has custody of her because of a lot of stuff that's been going on in her family...We just had our holiday party. Today is my last day at work for the year. We all got $1000 bonuses, what a great way to end the year. I would like to give a shoutout to Lila! *muah* 2006 is going to be a great a year!

Model Accused Of Hiring Hit Man To Kill For Cheese
Police in Memphis say a woman mistook a block of white cheese for a cocaine stash and tried to hire a hit man to kill four men and steal it.
Police say Jessica Sandy Booth was mistaken about the hit man, too. He was an undercover policeman.
Booth is 18. She's charged with four counts of attempted murder and four more of soliciting a murder.
Authorities say Booth was in the men's house recently and thought a block of queso fresco cheese was cocaine. The cheese is used in cooking.
Police say Booth, who is an aspiring model, told the hit man she needed $7,900 to pay a modeling agency. The undercover officer was recording Booth's conversation and police say they have her saying any children old enough to testify would have to be killed as well.
People in the home gave police permission to search it. They found only the cheese.

It's so cold...Man...it's so cold. I woke up this morning and it was 20 degrees outside! That's 12 degrees less than the average low. Yesterday I met a really cool chick, Bran'De, she recently moved here from Massachusetts. She was mad because she thought she had moved away from the cold. I personally think she brought the cold with her. |

I have the last two weeks off from work. I usually don't take vacations but I had a few days that wouldn't rollover to next year so I wanted to take it instead of losing it. These are what I want to get done during those two weeks:
1. Go to driving school. I'm too old not to have a license. Plus, this will give me motivation to buy a car.
2. Run a lot. To nowhere in particular, I just need to start running to get into shape.
3. Visit my new brother in New York. Babies faces change so much in the first year, I wonder what he looks like now.
4. Find someone really sexy to kiss when the ball drops for the New Year.
5. Promote some of the business ideas I came up with.
6. Research the different schools in the area. I need to stop avoiding the system and dive back in head first.
7. Pick up the monies for my charity, Pennies for the Poor. (If you want to help, start collecting change in a bottle and let me know when it's full)
8. Go somewhere I've never been before.

Some time in the 1960's, in the heart of Africa, a new animal was introduced into Lake Victoria as a little scientific experiment. The Nile Perch, a voracious predator, extinguished almost the entire stock of the native fish species. However, the new fish multiplied so fast, that its white fillets are today exported all around the world.
Huge hulking ex-Soviet cargo planes come daily to collect the latest catch in exchange for their southbound cargo… Kalashnikovs and ammunitions for the uncounted wars in the dark center of the continent.
This booming multinational industry of fish and weapons has created an ungodly globalized alliance on the shores of the world’s biggest tropical lake: an army of local fishermen, World bank agents, homeless children, African ministers, EU-commissioners, Tanzanian prostitutes and Russian pilots.
**************
The world that you know is not the world that is
Women walk the streets looking for a man
with a hard dick and full wallet
Police massacres, glue sniffing kids
European children eat till their stomachs are full
African children stomach distend due to hunger
Hunger in countries filled with food
UN planes eventually leave
People will die
Who will remember them? Who will care?
Slavery has not ended, it just has a new color

I came up with a business idea and ran an ad just to see if could get any response...I was pleasantly surprised at the positive feedback I've gotten. A few people thought it was too good to be true and others commended me and asked for more information. Now I have to work out the details before I start charging folks. |
