12914113, I wore a pair of jeans for 3 days straight.
Posted by Case_One, Wed Oct-21-15 08:54 AM
Real talk I love these Levis 559's. In fact, I have four pairs of 559's, but I seem to favor 1 pair over the rest.

12914144, haha, that aint nothin' out of the ordinary for me.

and i have a favorite pair as well that definitely get more burn than the others.
12914149, i recently wore out a pair of Levis...
Posted by StephBMore, Wed Oct-21-15 09:31 AM
skinny boyfriend cut. I think I was wearing them every day for over a year (actually 4 days a week). I had to make them into shorts. I cut them too short, so now I look like a hoochie mamma when I wear them.

12914131, had a job interview last week..smh
Posted by legsdiamond, Wed Oct-21-15 09:07 AM
it's not my dream job but it's 5minutes from the house and I get to design a few magazines and a variety of other shit.

she kept stressing that it's a mid level position, almost implying that I may be too qualified or bounce on them...

and she is right.

I need to a better job with my poker face in these interviews.

Ironically I just thanked Big Kuntry for links to the Kendrick show. But I'm sure there's someone that was standing right behind him that had to bend their neck and found themselves staring into his screen a few times.

And at some point we're not watching the shows we're at anymore, just trying to be the first to record and upload for clicks/likes.


I'm in Houston this week and stopped by a friend's event on a whim last night, a monthly scratch session and competition. As soon as it started there were at least 5 people that moved right up to the front holding their cameras up. I left. There's already a tripod set up for a good shot of the mixing, everything else is just tacky add-ons at that point.

And it's not like this is something new, it's just gotten old after a point.

I've been trying to participate in inktober and actually keeping up, but my environment has been hotel airplane home for weeks now and all I can think in is gray.

I don't know how to capture that, the lack of inspiration.

Posted by Atillah Moor, Wed Oct-21-15 10:53 AM
Imagine if your job was to help a woman re-decorate her place. That's what working with groups or teams comprised mostly of women is like. Move this over there-- No actually put it over here -- you know what? It was better over there, so put it back there now.

That's what it's like being a dude working with the opposite sex. Work ain't the place for that approach!
12914269, yep
Posted by wluv, Wed Oct-21-15 10:57 AM
I let my dislike of a coworker get in the way of helping him out and doing my job yesterday. Long story short, i have an ongoing personal beef with this coworker for something that happened outside of work, and dude is just a complete jerk, no way around it. But i didn't put that aside and do my job to the best of my ability. Im better than that and I plan to do better with that moving forward.

Had major electrical issues with my house last weekend. Last Saturday, when i woke up i noticed the house was colder than normal. The furnace hadn't come on at the adjustable temperature i had set. On top of that half the electrical outlets in my house was out. So that meant fridge off too. Emergency issue. Didn't have the money to call in a professional electrician so i took a shot in the dark and call a coworker of mine that knows electrical. I had just met this guy only a month ago but that guy came over and fixed my problem just for the cost of the parts that was less than 40 dollars. He saved me big time. Im going to throw him some dollars next week on gp for helping me out like that.

Ive only had time to text with my cougar lady friend lately because i just haven't had time to spend with her. She's not mad though. She's real cool like that. Thats why im glad i didnt pursue something with any of her friends.

Speaking of getting colder, the cuddle jawn search is on for the winter.

Just signed the lease to our 4 bedroom 3.5 bath brand spankin new townhouse in Livermore, CA. 1 year leasing, then we buy!!!! :)

I've fallen in love with East Bay California. Walking down the streets of Livermore, I just felt so at home. :) Then we rolled over to Dublin to the shopping area and it was just beautiful. Had some Thai food that was really good. Went to Starbucks and chilled.

Starting next month, we will be new members of CrossFit CSA. Now, all I have to do is finish packing up the crib by the end of the week so I can paint, clean and get our house on the market by the end of the month. I don't expect it to sell until January, but a girl can hope and PRAY!!!!

I also need to find a job and a good school for the munchkin to attend. I don't believe either one will be that hard, but you never know.

Tonight, I am going to sit back an watch FE+'s tour documentary, and chill. :)

Have a great day, OKP!

- Facebook is not a good place at all. I only go on to like pictures, crack jokes with my real life friends. productive conversations never happen on there

- I successfully scalped tickets via StubHub last month, I profited double what I spent. that may be a new side hustle

- I submitted my Thanksgiving time off request 9/11, I should know if it's approved by this Friday. Like I haven't been trying to purchase plane tickets and look into hotels. my job needs to do better with that.

- paying my taxes and having a 401K is very adult of me

as a cultural institution that is set on collecting and recognizing artists it is unethical to underpay artists. esp when this work is not meant for institutional purposes. they are trying to cheaply underpay me just to say that have something of mine in their collection. not to mention this is a BIG institution. i've also hear some other shady dealing they've done with other artists. the prints i'm selling are meant for personal collections for people who otherwise wouldn't be able to buy one of my works.

I ran it by a friend and he told me I'm undervaluing my skill set and I need to start charging their asses...I laughed it off initially but he's right.

If we're cool and on a similar wave length...bouncing ideas off each other..collaboration..inspiring each other is cool and necessary I think...but people who I don't know like that..or are just cool with people I used to be cool with? Naw..

Posted by MEAT, Thu Oct-22-15 10:07 PM
Found out that someone that put me through the meat grinder as I was leaving Houston is getting a divorce.

I thought a part of me would be happy, that maybe a small part would say "I have a chance", that a part of me would feel "in your face-ish" ... something, anything. I thought I would feel something.

But I didn't, I feel more when someone tells me that it's going to rain, because at least that's going to affect my day.

This didn't and it won't. And that's something ... just not sure what.

with his college girlfriend 5 years ago. At that point we were already 10 years out of school.....And he was engaged to another woman.

When he called me to curse me out last week, unsurprisingly he is no longer engaged or with the chick he was engaged with, and the old ex-college girlfriend is now married and has kids.

It inspired that weed post I made a couple of weeks ago.
