Sweaty

(This low key might be DeVante's best produced song. It's a smorgasbord of noise perfectly crafted into a 6 minute song. )

I hate people people who move their cellphone rapidly between their ear and mouth in order to talk and then hear, and vice versa.

If you do this--I can guarantee that we are not friends.

Lately

(The only Jodeci song that I ever wholeheartedly hated. I don't like any one covering Stevie---not even my favorite group)

Today is my son's last day of school. While a joyous occasion in some regard, it just means that we now have to start our daily routine earlier because I have to drive him farther to his various camps and etc.

When does parenting become fun? *Kanye shrug*

Pump it Back

So I've been having the worst of worse coolant leaks from my beloved Volkswagen POOReg--- For the longest no one could find the leak. One place tried to tell me it was the head gasket but I knew (in my heart of hearts and the depths of my pockets I prayed) this was not the case. I drove the car like this throughout the winter, simply replacing the fluid damn near every other day until this past week. The leak was getting so bad that I would've been better off pouring the antifreeze directly on the ground because that's exactly where it was going.

Anyway---I ended up stopping at this shop ran by a bunch of Mexicans around the corner from the crib. Everything in the joint was in Spanish. The mechanics barely spoke english. I got frustrated trying to explain what was going on.

But guess what? Language barrier aside---they found the leak and fixed that muhphucka. It ended up being a broken plastic clip near the coolant sensor. They also fixed a turbo vacuum hose that they previous owner tried to fix with some silicone.

Now the POOReg is getting exceptional gas mileage and speed.

Zooooooooooooooooooooooooom.

and I got new mechanics that only charged me $60 p/labor hr.


-----------------------

Love U 4 Life


Being that I was almost prepared to spend $1800 to get a new headgasket and what not---Now I can proudly allocate that money to other sh*t. While I was this >close< to getting a new car because I just didn't have the desire to put any more (major) money into the POOReg, I am now gonna get some tires, brakes and a left CV joint and enjoy hitting some open road this summer with my son in tow with the sun roof wide and the air blowing around us.


------------------

Come and Talk to me.

This past week I have had relatives who don't ever call (much less text) send me messages baiting me for money. It all starts out with "Hey Bro or Cuz, What's up ain't heard from you in a minute"
I'm thinkin' to myself here comes the bullsh*t. Sure enough after the pleasantries of 10 or so back and forth messages about how my life is going, how my son is, or when am I coming to visit they hit me with the "Do you think I can borrow/get/have X amount of dollars". I'm going through a tough time. I (A) just graduated from college and I really need to get my hair braided so I can look presentable for interviews (B) My water pump went out on my car and I just paid for your cousin Shan's summer camp. (C) Julius got locked up (again) and if he doesn't get out by the weekend he may lose his job and then I won't be able to pay this rent.


I haven't responded to B or C. The only reason I responded to "A" was because she busted her ass in college, never asked me for anything ever and I didn't make her graduation nor did I send off the check that I had already made out to her as a gift. Seeing that (according to her FB post) she has been hitting the job search with a fury, I tore up the check and sent her the money via paypal with a little extra.

B and C though? They out if they're relying on me.

GIMME FIVE

1 - i'm really disappointed we've only raised $2500 so far with our scholarship fundraising campaign. i don't know how much easier i could've made it for our members to solicit donations. the person in the lead said all she did was send two or three emails and she's halfway to her goal. i need to send a pep talk email but all that's in my head is a go off email so i gotta wait. i could say more but it's so frustrating because tuition is $48K and these girls really need scholarship money. almost anybody can find $10 to donate.

2 - BUT i am forever extremely thankful to the okps who have supported me and this fundraiser year after year. i'm a send y'all some n00dz. (no i'm not.)

3 - i'm treating myself to five guys for lunch today.

4 - while most ppl took today off for the long wknd i took this coming tuesday off. everyone will be back at work and i'll be home impersonating a sloth. can't. wait.

5 - we have lync phones at work now which means they're through the computer. they seemed fine at first but now there's a delay when speaking. i had the most painful conversation with my mother yesterday bc she kept thinking i couldn't hear her bc my responses were delayed. i hate these phones.

______
gnap.

Enjoy your tuesday off fam...I know I would.

Every Moment (yep...)
------------------------------
Charlie Wilson has been killing it as the 6th man on a lot of songs recently. Especially Tyler's hilarious song, "Fucking Young". I still don't know how or why Uncle Charlie agreed to it, but at the song's climax... dude is just on another plane. I can't stop rewinding it.

He's basically the Ghostface Killah to Snoop's Raekwon on that BUSH album as well...


Get On Up
------------------------------
After months of pacing back and forth, and "test runs" of the most difficult parts, the Volvo has a new car stereo. But not just that, I dropped flush mount ports for USB/AUX/HDMI in the center console under the arm rest. I had to open it all back up yesterday, because the left side USB/AUX port was wobbly and I needed to secure it. Only thing I couldn't get to work was the steering wheel controls, but after my 3rd call to the shop that sold the box to me, I think I should be ready to go with that again today.

Except for the fact that the stereo can't be turned off except by the ignition/key, and that stupid nag screen every time you turn it on, this thing blows the old one out of the water. Those long road trips are gonna be GDLK.

I've been installing my own stereo in this car since I got this one Sony deck that did Bluetooth and iPod, but this one, I'm proud of. I know how to take apart the interior like a Volvo master tech now, LOL.

It's Alright
------------------------------
Too much of my clothes look like a kid trying to wear his dad's clothes lately. I need to seriously clean out the closet. I went out to pick up a few things yesterday and I had to keep adjusting the collar so my shirt didn't fall off.


Incredible
------------------------------
People are complaining about the first digit of the high temperature in May being a 6, but as long as it's blue and clear like it is right now, I could not care less...

Better this than 80 degrees plus...


My Heart Belongs To U
------------------------------
I hope I get to get out to a few cities/towns I haven't seen in the last few years. The "Out of Hibernation" tour is about to be for real.

This is exactly an idea I was trying to pitch to someone. All you would need is something that had bluetooth audio or AUX in. Then you just mount the tablet somewhere like you would do a phone. NAV and music right there.

yeah it's holding me over until i get a new deck.

1. The munchkin is learning Spanish..."Gracias for cleaning my vagino, Mom!": Yes...my 3 year old actually said this!! New blog...The Munchkin Chronicles: Sh*t My Preschooler Says coming soon. I gotta make some coin off of this because she is just too hilarious!---------------------------------
So yesterday I walk into the gym lobby and the sh*t is on 11! Why?! J.Cole was in the building. And I, being focused on getting my Body Jam on (the only cardio workout I like doing besides running) was on my Roger Murtaugh. But later on that evening, I said something about it via Facebook. And my cousin said something to the effect that she had a "friend" who was an NFL player (though she didn't know until he told her). I asked who and she couldn't say. And I need prayer yall because the first thing that popped into my mind was..."Oh Lord, my cousin was a jumpoff of some Chicago Bears player!". Pray for me.


2. Mom, that's extraordinary!!!! Or, "That's Stupendous!":
I have no earthly idea where she heard the first one! But the fact that she used it in the correct context just boggles my mind. The second is from her watching Angelina Ballerina.
-------------------------------------
The sky is blue and the grass is green. I think today I am finally going to take the munchkin for a ride in her wagon. After I get my to do list done.


3. I go into the bathroom and I lock the door. The munchkin proceeds to come in through the adjacent bedroom's entrance into the bathroom (I forgot to lock it) and screams out in a house full of people..."Good Job MOM! You went tinkle and boo-boo! Yay yay!"
-----------------------------------------
Now that we've gotten potty training out the way, we are really focused on handwriting. There is an app called itrace that she's been working with this week and it seems to be helping. I want her to keep working with it for another week or so and then I may try another paper and pencil test. But she's been doing really good with it and even learned how to spell a few words. And she's been practicing how to write her name (she already knew how to spell it).

4. I try not to swear so instead I say "crap!" The munchkin stubs her toe, she says "crack!"
-------------------------------------------
The hubby is working hard and it looks like his hard work is paying off. But I swear that some of the people in his company are walking HR violations. I know an intelligent black Male in the software/technology field is like a freakin unicorn. But you would think that people wouldn't expect my husband to talk an idiot. The "he's just sooo intelligent" and "speaks so well" comments are starting to wear thin. And when they saw he was black it was like he opened people's world to a black America they had never seen before! It just lets me know that even in the most progressive cities, they still think we all talk like, "i's gonna drop me a bomb today!"

5. Whenever she thinks I'm upset with her, "mommy, are you happy?!" (Usually this calms me down and keeps me from flying off the handle.) This also shows me just how calculated my 3 year old can be.
--------------------------------------------
This week I just put down my down payment for my 20 year high school reunion cruise. I'm excited. I'm also intrigued. I mean I haven't seen a lot of these people since I graduated. Yes, I am friends with a lot of them via Spacebook. But to actually sit down and talk to them face to face after years of not doing so is going to be interesting. But the cruise is going to be a 5 day out of Miami. Grand Turk, Nassau, the Carnival private island are all on the agenda. My hubby will know a lot of them from high school and college so he'll be cool. Luckily I didn't date any of the guys in my class so I won't have to deal with any drama there. And since I have absolutely no ill will towards any of my classmates, I'm sure we will enjoy ourselves. The reunion isn't until July 2016, so I would love to go somewhere else this summer or fall. Maybe Japan...finally.

Memorial Day weekend and all.

I have a 400 year old chip on my shoulder.
