13273281, ** CONFESSION WEDNESDAY **

13273312, i had a week where it was just me and my older son
Posted by KiloMcG, Wed Jul-11-18 09:03 AM
and i loved it. we were on vacation at the beach for most of it, which certainly played a part. but we also had three nights at home where it was just us. everyone came back home last night which includes my wife, younger son, MIL, and SIL. i was overwhelmed. i had grown accustom to the peace and quiet, nobody being in my way, being able to do whatever, etc. so the rest of this week will be an adjustment of getting back in the groove of family. don't get me wrong, i was VERY glad to see everyone again. it had been a long time, but i really truly value being alone so much more now as an adult then i ever have before. sometimes that scares me because i don't want to get to a place where i am seeking to have time alone that i push people away. i think another thing about everyone coming home was that signaled the end of "vacation" and now we have to get back to focusing on the stressors that were present before we all went away. i like it when life is easy. this is my confession.

When da wiz goes on a short travel stint,...dare I say...it's somewhat chill. Even though I have the kids, not having to share that mental space just for a little while, lends itself to some relaxation. I've found that I REQUIRE just a few minutes (like 5) to myself...before I jump into, "Daddy can you" mode. Doesn't always transpire, though.

Why? Because why the f not. If it doesn't take off at the very least it will be a learning experience.

My last creative project wrapped up and I think I am addicted to being in charge and doing my own thing so might as well pursue and idea that I have been kicking around a few years. I've seen less talented experience people pull it off.

Then I am going to write a comic miniseries. I have a script for the first issue and it's rocks.

I don't think I will become an expert or great at any one thing but I do want to be that dude that did ALOT of different things because I wanted to.

hearing people say they enjoy being single {when you're older} is strange to me. If I had it my way it's not something I'd choose...

My cousin passed away on Monday...well, that's when they found him. He was on the floor with his phone in hand. We think he may have been trying to call for help. One of my fears is that happening to me. He was a favorite cousin too...joked a lot, always came over for holidays and babysit my brother and I...in our youth. during my first thanksgiving down here, my son and I had a fish fry rather than a turkey dinner because things just weren't the same without the rest of the family. My cousin called like, "look, if you're struggling down there you need to move back home". LOL. All because me cooked fish. He was the funny cousin, the send a card on your birthday cousin. Not too much older than me...

funny thing, I was just thinking about how I should call him. I'm heartbroken that I didn't.

I told my son, "make sure you check on me"

give folks their flowers while they're here...

13273401, few things
Posted by legsdiamond, Wed Jul-11-18 12:24 PM
I cold crushed a phone interview for a senior graphic designer position. Amazing what a few interviews, some notes and confidence can do for an interview.

Still nervous about this new gig but their design and marketing is damn near non existent. I know I can have an impact and get some experience on their dime to level up in another year or so

its wild seeing people shit on UX/UI Designers

Just finished listening to Good Kid MAAD City and that shit goes.. still my favorite album. Shit is perfect.

13273756, already got a call back for an interview at coprorate
Posted by legsdiamond, Thu Jul-12-18 11:02 AM
I know it would be foul to bounce on a gig I just got but if they can pay me 14K more.. gotta do what I gotta do

nigga is hot right now.

GET DIS MONEY!

13273489, couple things.......
Posted by WarriorPoet415, Wed Jul-11-18 02:32 PM
Glad i'm on track at work, but goddamn, I have a coworker, sorta a team lead that really lacks in personal communication sometimes. I don't think our director sees it though.

I'm numbing myself with sex i think after my last break up. I probably need to let all the jump offs go and probably just go celibate for a month or two or 8. Dunno. Guess it's a residual effect of my last break up that's been flying under the radar.

13273651, Rest In Peace To Sean Haley aka Discodj
Posted by Dj Joey Joe, Thu Jul-12-18 01:36 AM
Sean hasn't been on these boards in a long time but he was still OKP fam regardless, found out he passed away today from a heart attack, it was just a few days ago he replied to a post on my timeline on facebook and vice a versa.

Damn, another OKP gone, but not in my heart. :(

13273693, Trying to stay encouraged while working on this website
Posted by tully_blanchard, Thu Jul-12-18 08:00 AM
"No Ideas Original"-Nas

It's a trip, cause I'm noticing shit that I wanna do with this website I'm building that I'd never noticed before...like..it's already been done, lol. I have a few personal touches that I hope will give mine an edge..iono...we'll see.


It's hard watching your kids fail. The two stepsons..they're both living with decisions that they made, and it's tough. The younger one...there's still time for him to recover. He's "Capricorn" enough to take charge of his life and pull himself out. The older one? He just turned 27 and I do not see the "Cancer" in him allowing him to look in the mirror. This shit sucks....

Work is....work...having to train somebody who has been here a full year longer than I have, because they were somehow allowed to do nothing all day is a trip. I don't wanna treat dude like a straight dummy, but I kinda have to.


Looking forward to St. Augustine in a couple of weeks...need, need, need to see some water.

Posted by SP1200, Thu Jul-12-18 06:29 PM
Started a late overdue spring cleaning and it feels fantastic!

Much needed especially for traveling record collectors like myself.
Things can get out of hand lol.

I thought a trip got canceled and I was really wishing it was. Tired
of traveling til I have my projects finished and ready.

Self is the biggest battlefield when trying to level up and achieve a
game changer. Slowly but surely.

Came back from NY energized and ready to finish some plays I started.
Working out well, a meeting tonite and tomorrow that will lead to more
paper.

In a good space. Getting back organized, increasing paper, finishing
everything I started and hit roadblocks on. Only thing is my designer
has been BULLSHITTING all year. Dude used to be a beast, dunno what
happened. Guess his workload got crazy and I became 100th priority
smh. Horrible timing but still gonna make it pop.

Got into it with a promoter from back home when I was out of town.
dude got all in his feelings and was really being a hater. He'll be a
local sucka the rest of his days.

I really don't like flaky people and folks who don't communicate and I
experienced both in DC. SMH always the one's who talk such a good game
be some real life weirdos smh.

She hit me up before I left town to go out when I return. That's
definitely a good thing.

I'm so glad I found those couple items I tore up the house for lol
clutch.

Shorty is a weirdo who I gave another chance. I'm not hopeful, but
it'll be interesting just to see how it plays out lol. Lotta weirdos
out here.

Next week things should be right back to normal with that.

Right now everything is as it should be, wrongs made right, new
beginnings, everything in it's right place.

13274103, I saw an OKP in NYC last year, but didn't feel
Posted by isaaaa, Fri Jul-13-18 11:09 AM
like talking, so I didn't. This happened twice in NYC, both times I was already with an OKP that had no idea we walked passed some OKfam.

I will not let that happen again, I'm speaking...life is short.
