i think there's about 4 of us around...may as well chill?

i'm going to my first christmas ever tomorrow. well, christmas dinners. two of them! i'm kinda excited.

but tonight i'm chillin'

wassup doe

This kid is lucky I don't do Santa cause his ass would be at the top of the naughty list today!

is he talking yet? i don't really know when kids start talking..or any other milestone for that matter lol

when's your next trip to JA? when can i start claiming it as my 2nd home? i've been 5 times now. soon, right?

this little n-word doesn't STOP talking
he's FULL of opinions and has no problem telling you
the only time he stops talking is when he first meets ppl. he tries to play like he's shy but he ain't. i know you've seen them pics on IG. sometimes i record him doing crazy shit and i'm so sad IG has the 15 sec limit. he cray cray

HA, it won't be for some time. this last trip was a bit stressful so i'm going to chill out on JA. plus family is acting up and i'd rather not be around them. my family got issues and love drama. i do not, lol

i think my next trip will be domestic. maybe the bay or portland.

i've never been south of DC. I really want to check out the west coast. one day.

all my traveling has been strictly socal and one trip to SF

i'd love to see portland and seattle tho

..i don't celebrate holidays.

not a grinch, just not much for the fuss.

i cook, clean, watch a few games/movies/etc.

might even get a lil' work done if i feel motivated.

still, even those that know me like to ask "..so what're you doin' for ____?.."

the answer is always the same: chillin'.


*skatin' the rings of saturn*


..and miles to go before i sleep...

our holidays are so exhausting. i'd opt out, too, if i could.

does your fam live in the NYC area?

..one brother lives near me, the rest are all over the place.

my parents are still in the midwest, though. sometimes i forget just how large my fam is.

since so many people gather/travel for holidays, i use these times to truly indulge in solitude.

*what are you listenin' to?


*skatin' the rings of saturn*


..and miles to go before i sleep...

so yo

are there just literally no cheap hotels in new york, or am i just not looking in the right places?

even stuff in BK is stupid expensive. por que?

..there are plenty of options, if you know when & where to look.

granted, nyc is generally expensive, but there are plenty of ways to cut down on cost.

first step: the details

when you're traveling and what you need while you're here (amenities, location, access, commuting, etc.).


*skatin' the rings of saturn*


..and miles to go before i sleep...

but there were a few times this yr when i wanted to come and couldn't find anything less than $200/night. which is just too much for a lil weekend jaunt.

a bargain? hmm..less than 150/night?

..unless you plan ahead, nyc is always expensive.

you can find cheap hotels (holiday inn ex, best western, etc.) within your given margin, but at that rate you'll likely find a better bargain through airbnb.

you can still find great deals on nice hotels, but you need to plan ahead for that.

*how often do you travel outside of your country?


*skatin' the rings of saturn*


..and miles to go before i sleep...

and two friends asked if i wanted to drop by and i said yes :)

are you not big on it?

I figured Christmas shit wasn't really on the list of things you'd be worried bout this week.

it the way they do & attach emotions to the day...

but i'm happy to share in someone else's culture....

I'd be like fuck it all, but you're obviously a less stubborn person.

culture should be shared, to a degree.

what are your christmas plans (if you celebrate)?

I just buy shit for the household..............and myself.

so we'll open up toys and watch the smiles on the little folks.
afterwards, they're going to my wife's aunt's place.
and I'll be alone to watch basketball.

i dunno what happened to my tolerance but it's gone. completely gone.

when I was in my prime my tolerance was pretty ridiculous. have fun at your Christmas dinners.

one i thought we'd be taking much later in life. sheesh.

thanks! it'll be a good time.

i'm actually toying with the idea of being a pescatarian ...so i'm going in the opposite direction lol...

...don't really celebrate christmas..so daughter has 3 friends over for a slumber party tonite...baked some pretty good (if i do say so myself) mac and cheese for them...just finished cleaning up...about to make sure they shower and leave them to have fun till they pass out...

I'll be downstairs working on a new mix i'm trying to finish for tuesday..

feeling pretty good right now

..and man..if you thought she was looking big back in summer...now??...smh...lol

and full of chat! lol
tell her i said hi

how old is your daughter?

..she's 9 and a half now ..
what u had for dinner?
