I Love It When We're Cruising Together...11 days and counting til the peace and quiet of the open seas! I am looking forward to not doing anything but eating, sleeping, loving, sunbathing and reading trashy novels.Our ports of call are Belize, Honduras, Grand Cayman and Cozumel. GABUNNY!! Can you suggest some great beach reading for me? Nothing taxing. I don't want to think about theme, characterization, the elements of fiction and any of the other shit they pay me to teach the kids.
"The most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you find someone to love the you you love, well, that's just fabulous." -Carrie, SATC... this is one of my favorite quotes from a show or movie. I'm well aware that I am staring 30 in the eye. At this point of my life I am so THRILLED to be at a point where I am satisfied with my career, my house, myself, my life, and my relationship. It's almost Valentine's Day and for once I am looking forward to the simple holiday and I am in a way better situation than a year ago.
My favorite white boy pulled it off...While I was a smile turned upside down when the beloved Pats lost the AFC game, I was thrilled that Peyton Manning finally made it to the SuperBowl. My favorite white boy, two Black coaches and Black History month? Well hell... color me PURPLE...so I have been in a Prince redux lately. Diddy and Keyshia Cole's "Last Night" has been setting me off. The beat is so reminiscent of Prince, you know the song "Wendy is the water warm enough? Yes, Lisa." Anyway, so I have been annoying the cuddlebunny by calling randomly and singing snatches to him. He's learned enough to just sing along with me. So we had a Superbowl gathering and the cuddlebunny and I brucked out our Manning jerseys. I sang and danced to Prince. He encouraged me. A match made in heaven, i tell ya.
And February...can i just say that 21 days to go and we can stop faking the funk with Black History Month?! I am so sick of advertisers thinking they can reach the coloreds by having some slam poets in a commercial. I HATE SLAM POETRY and SLAM POETS...NEWSFLASH...YOU ARE NOT THAT DEEP! All that snapping and incense-burning, and half said phrases, shit just because you are being obtuse doesn't mean you are smarter than the average bear. JEESH.
I am 100 percent certain that I am forgetting something that I wanted to talk about, but I'll have to talk about it after the cruise. Ta-ta.
Heffa, this cant be categorized in the Tragicomedy file if you are talking about going on a cruise. I'm excited for you! (And more than a bit jealous) This sounds like the exact same cruise that G-Rock and I are doing this summer. Make note of everything man, I will need recommendations and suggestions when its my turn to bounce.

You know, you may be right! LOL, I'm not used to being happy!! I am one behind you and Gmoney on the cruise thing and I'll tell you all the places to have sex and not get caught! Maxamillian is coming too; we're getting his passport tomorrow! You know I'll have a bottle of liquor for you from an exotic locale.

I SUCK, SUCK, SUCK! I just fell of the face of your earth for quite a while. Of course, it looks like you fell off the face of your earth as well since it has been several weeks since you have posted. :)
My life has been a whirlwind of turmoil but let's wrap up the events of the past six weeks to say that I am resigning my current job on Monday and taking a new position as and EDITOR of a MAGAZINE!!! SO SO SO EXCITED!!
Now, you know the score - it ain't Vanity Fair or People. Hell, it ain't even the Enquirer, but it is a nice little home improvement magazine that I have been freelancing for for about 18 months (forgive my grammar!) and they are expanding their market and want me to be an editor! I had to take a little bit of a pay cut but it was so worth it because this is what I have always wanted to do and, at the worst, it will add another skill to my resume.
Hope your trip was as awesome as it sounds and you found some suitable reading - sorry I was not there for you. And I have read some good chick lit recently too - it is all I have time for - nothing to heavy to tax the brain.
Love and kisses from the Big J aka gabunny =:-)
