1. I saw a Shakespeare production last night that was really good! I wish more people (black people) were in to Shakespeare even just for the sake of being able to spot a Shakespeare reference in modern day entertainment (like Empire). I went alone, but going alone is always better than dragging someone along who doesn't want to be there. Who laughs inappropriately, doesn't get the actual humor, and complains. Especially since Shakespeare productions can be so long. Are you in to Shakespeare?

2. I doubt I will get any of these new streaming services. Here lately, I just watch whatever I can find on regular TV or Netflix. Haven't turned on Hulu in months. Between those three and the website you gave me last year .. I am good. I don't even watch TV that much anymore. Plus, I can see this whole streaming industry going from being a cheaper option to being a situation where people are forking out the same amount of money per month, but to several different companies. Did you sign up for Sling TV?

3. I have been on this thing where I want to separate food from celebration, just because I don't want those things associated with each other anymore. I don't like going out to eat for birthdays, or even dates really. But that is counter to the society we live in. I also don't like going out the lunch with folks. You want to get together, then lets get together and DO something. Doesn't have to be expensive. Hell, meet me at the park and lets take a walk together. But again, people respond unfavorably to that stuff. How would you respond to someone suggesting you meet them in the park for a walk?

4. I don't pay for shit anymore and I like it. I read some of the strangest things because the books are free for download on websites and list serves I subscribe to. Some of the books have been really good, but most are just weird. What the most recent free find that got you excited?

5.The next 5 days are going to be really busy, but it will be better than sitting in the house depressed. It snowed overnight. I came down the steps this morning like "what is that white stuff on the grass?" Then I was like "it muthafuckin snowed in April! Muthafucka!!" Then i realized it wasn't April yet. How often does that happen?
