Thou shalt not post when thou hast nothing to post about.
Damn you bloggie.
I am in a music-y mood tho.
I think what i love about music the most is the fact that someone - the songwriter- is able to put so many feelings..so many shared feelings into words.
If i like a song, sometimes even if i dont...i try to learn the lyrics so that at least if my voice can't do it justice maybe my remembering all the words will :)
And it makes for some pretty nice karaoke performances
Anyway...here is a list of my ten--ahem..i mean 100 all time favorites...as in stuff i hear and i can't help but dance, or sing along, or bang my head..etc
...it's uploading
While we wait

The Dynamic
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When you were young
And your heart was an open book
You used to say "live and let live"
But if this ever changing world
In which we live in
Makes you give it a try....
Say live and let die!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So, i was having three whole conversations on MSN yesterday..yes this is my life what do you have to say about it..it was 16oF(maybe oC...) outside what do you want me to do go out? So what if i was supposed to be working...do they pay me overtime? :D OK..i digress
I had a really nice MSN convo with a friend who dropped some interesting knowledge on the whole friendship-relationship thing between guys and girls. And wouldn't you know it..i totally forgot what he said. He said something and i forgot it! I was really relying heavily on me remembering it because i thought it was really perceptive and it put a lot of things in perspective. I'mo ask again..see if he remembers..or maybe it will come to me in the middle of the night...daggone old age and ish! Shout outs to dude for putting me onto Dat Nigga Raw! Lol...
I was also having a convo with my sporadic acquaintance...i think she's cute as buttons! She was talking about expectations and how she didn't see herself getting married or something like that. We talked about long distance relationships..and she wasn't feeling that either. Ok..so in my mind i had chucked it up to her being young..but when you're young, doesn't the world just seem open and filled with possibilities? When did we...ahem..these young kids get all jaded by life and love? Na wa oh.
Ok...i admit, everybody's journey is different, i guess I've been lucky not to have come across too many unserious ppl at a young age who just want to mess around and break hearts and leave me jaded. I think life has left me more jaded than love thus far..which is just scary because that either means I'm blessed/lucky to not have had that experience and i never will...or that experience is coming. D'ah well...bring it on I say.
The third convo was with my gal paul as my dad says...LOL. We talked about marriage and rings and stuff but not really...and she claims I'm a different person.."what have you done with my friend?" I guess i can see where she's coming from and i think age definitely has a lot to do with it...but in addition to age..being removed from the whole school scene and being immersed in this 2.5 family having town...there's definitely a mind-shift thingie that has happened to me. If i was out partying every night bar/club hopping...i probably wouldn't be in the I'm ready to settle down in the next couple of years frame of mind. Add that to age and having a firmer grip on what you want out of life and feeling like you're on that path kinda...God willing, then there's that innate urge to want to move on to the next level.
***next post** maybe tomorrow? on marriage as the next level..but i need a sexier title than that!
Shout out to my two readers!

*Insert title here*...ok Random
Ooooh...i really had something bloggable yesterday, when i was at work and not working, but i um...like you know forgot.
Uncharacteristic of 2008, i decided to write down my goals for 2009.
No..not resolutions just things that i would like to accomplish this year professionally, financially, educationally, personally, emotionally etc.
Oooooh...you know what else. JACK's back!! wooo woo! We love it...we love it. I hope we still love it....mmmmmm, i think we will still love it.
Really i honestly wish i had things to talk to you about. I'm upset that this doug williams dude cannot speak proper english.
have i blogged about the fact that my president is black and my lambo's nonexistent but if it wasn't, it'd be blue?
Man...i really miss reading interesting blogs..everybody is privatizing or not writing in their blogs anymore..what is really going on?
I miss... Femi's Diary, i thought about it today...very talented writer...nice chick too.
I dont like unkempt beards...like overly long taliban type beards..uggh.
Havent read any good books lately...like soooo goooooddd make me wanna cry books.
sighs...
My new infatuation is my oregoogoo...my lil neph..the cutest thing since the beginning of time. Loves him...loves him to pieces..
And i'm out

And the beat goes on da da dum da dum da da.....
Most people enjoy spending time with their family and friends..and I do too for the most part. However, I was kinda dreading coming home cuz normally, a fight usually occurs at some point and I can't wait to go back to my own little world where i can shut out all the drama and just focus on things that make sense.
It's Day 2 and I'm happy to report that no fights/arguments/misunderstandings occured, which is great. I hope it stays that way.
Outside of the fam, i had a very illuminating day...
I realized that there is entirely too much going on here and not in a good way and I don't think I'm ready to come back here to live, not this year, not next year not in this capacity.
Everything just struck me as "affected" or "trying too hard".
Driving through my breeding ground, i had a lot of nostalgic moments of this is where i worked for 5 years and this is where we stayed...etc
Part 2:
I guess I must have been a terror in college because in the last 24 hours, i have been regaled with tales of my tyranny and physical and emotional acts of aggression towards ppl who years later are still my friends... Let me start by putting all my apologies for whoever i wronged out there in the universe...
At first I was slightly amused maybe..because the way things play out in my head is obviously not the way other ppl see it.
But at some point, I started thinking and two questions...maybe rhetorical, maybe not came to mind.
1. If I did/do all these mean, horrible things to ppl..why have i not lost any of these ppl as friends? (maybe i lost one, but in that case i would argue that we probably weren't friends to begin with...hmmm)
2. When all these my actions occur, do ppl even try to understand where i'm coming from?
And God forbid you actually change or mature because that person you were in college is the same person you'll always be.
I guess my bottom line is like staind says "I only know that I can change, everything else just stays the same"....so the only way to fix that, is to keep moving forward.
And we haven't even gotten to the party yet.
So much for Happy Holidays...is it 2009 yet?

Patience is a virtue...etc
One of my vices..one of my many vices, but the one that gets me in trouble a lot is impatience.
I want answers right now..solutions yesterday and results today.
So when i pray, one of the main things i ask God for is patience.
The ability to wait patiently for things to work out the way they are meant to.
Of course as a thinking, feeling being, it's not always easy because I feel it then i think about how to solve it and then i do..or try to.
However, I'm learning that, some situations would never occur if i had been patient enough in the beginning and let things naturally unfold as they are supposed to.
My prayer for myself this new year, is to be more patient and to consciously recognize when I'm in situations that require me to be patient. Like today.
More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.—Romans 5:3-5
But at the same time, i feel like a failure. Like i told myself that i would try...and try..and try until i either succeeded or couldn't try anymore. So i'm at a point where i'm questioning whether i tried hard enough. But like with all things..a go/no-go decision has to be made..when enough is enough and i'd rather be unsuccessful now than in the future...i guess.
