The After Party

“All that counts in life; all that counts in the end; and all that you’ll ever be judged on are:
your relationships, your word, your work.”

~Some cat in a bar.

Is this true?? I think spirituality has to be in there somewhere. And what work are they talking about? If I were to bite the bullet right now and these were the things used to determine if I get into the sweet spot, how would I do? (more…)

From the very start, school stuff was easy for me. Don’t believe me? Call my mom. She’ll tell you. What?? Don’t make me have to post my mother’s number on this joint!

When I went to kindergarten, I wasn’t supposed to be there. We were moving from NY to Detroit. I remember it like it was yesterday. I was sitting on my mother’s lap and the lady asked how old I was. I said five. Thing is, I had just turned five that month. This is a great time to remind people that it’s THAT time of the year again!! My birthday. Amazon Wishlist!!!!!!! Anyone who knows anything knows there’s a cut off date. If a child doesn’t turn 5 before October or November (differs from district to district) s/he is placed in the lower grade. I wasn’t supposed to enter kindergarten because I’d just turned five. But I guess all that didn’t matter because I went in for the second half of the year and still managed to color and share circles around those future short bus riding kids! Hence my being named valedictorian. Again, don’t make me have to give out my mother’s number online! (more…)

This shall serve as my obligatory relationship post for the week…Only because I give the people what they want! *eyeroll*

On NYE I was chatting with one of Manfriend’s friends. Let’s call him Richard. Richard had to be the only man at the party without a wife, fiance, or date. Somehow, as we discussed his bling and his lack of date, I told him (yeah, I’d been drinking) that he clearly is dealing with Tier Two and below women otherwise he’d have one by his side. In typical man fashion, he disagreed and went so far as to flip open his phone to show me the ‘dimes’ he had access to. (This will mean something later on.) To make a long, slurry story short, I clarified by saying that if he had access to a woman he thought was fabulous enough to have around his friends and bring in the new year with, her ass would be there.
