and I’m not mad at it. You have to push buttons to change from Parking, Reverse, Drive... shit is weird but also convenient.
Kids love it. I think my next car will be an SUV but it needs to be electric or hybrid.

2020 is off to a rough start but I’m not going to let it fuck up my vibe. I’ve been killing it at work. Any bad news I just shrug and push thru it because what else can I do? Trying to get my wife to do the same. She did a great job bouncing back from a setback. Crying and self pity doesn’t solve shit. Work on the solution.

I’ve finally hit my goal financially but I want more.. like 30K to 40K more. Have to go to bed earlier and wake up earlier so I can dedicate my mornings to my grind while the kids are still asleep.

having cars break down as soon as I got word of a raise is some typical shit.
My kids love riding in SUV’s. I like the space and being up higher.
Not much of a GMC fan but between this truck and the Jeep unlimited I rented fro work I ain’t mad.
Think I’m going to to test drive every SUB on the market before I cop. I like the look of the new KIA and Hyundai.. and that Mazda model looks nice too. I don’t think I want a luxury brand tho.. the service charges aren’t worth it.

every time i got a raise our expenses would go up or a big expense would fall on us.
ive said it before but dont overlook the chevy traverse/gmc acadia. very practical, if youre looking to move people and their things theyre hard to beat. if you need towing then it might not be the best choice but still would be decent.

dude at the dealership said “you can’t see it from the inside”
I will probably get a Toyota before a Lexus tho...
I like the way it drives tho. No complaints. She barely drives it now. She got a shitty smart car As a toy to get around since it’s a beach community.

"Dope" by Johnny B. I was using mode which i like but didnt really like how it dried up at the end of the day. not sure if this will be better on that but i do like the scent.
kinda weird though, its mostly solid in the container, was weird to apply it.

i work in an office.
my wife and the family moved so we're living out of boxes.
my expensive ass "buy it for life" rowenta iron took a massive shit.
I'm the type of dude who irons every damn morning.
I trust no other barber to touch my hair except the one I've been with for 5 years.
My wife is incapable of lifting the kids due to an injury. So, no matter what, I gotta leave the office, at five. HARD OUT so I can't just pop on over to the barber on the way home now that my commute is all the fuck out of order and dude is in the completely different direction.
So, I aint had a haircut in damn near two months and all my shit is wrinkled.
I work in the most corporate of offices. I mean, one of the partners has a nappy ass afro and one of the associates has braids, some brothers here have locs. BUT STILL, I need a fucking trim.

I’m super busy right now at the house, but when I’m done with that stuff I’m going to commit to ensuring that I’m around until she goes to bed. Which will mean logging off and out, but that’s not a bad thing.

16. "ive never been into working out" In response to Reply # 15
i think i am going to start working out at home at least on the weekends though. i dont see myself as ever going to a gym but who knows.
>and I need to find one day a week where I do some me shit. > >I’m going to see if someone is holding an art class or a >model and by bust out my sketch pad. >
thats an interesting idea. had not considered a class. its been a minute since i draw and im kind of getting the itch but i figured i would just do it at home. i kind of want to try a drawing tablet. i was thinking of using my phone for that but its just so small.
right now the first thing that pops in my head is to try making beats. ive never seriously messed around with it but im pretty sure i would enjoy it.
being around some people might be good though lol so that class idea has me intrigued.

They love them some daddy so I get no chill time at home. My name is “Daddy Iwant”
I tried drawing with a tablet.. it sucks.
Beats are a good idea. I used to get it in and sometimes I think about making a new beat but I spend enough time looking at screens.
and the gym, it’s not because I like working out... I just need to exercise more since I got young kids and been chilling hard.

>They love them some daddy so I get no chill time at home. My >name is “Daddy Iwant” ha, i remember sitting in the car for like 5 minutes before walking in cuz you just need that break sometimes. i definitely understand this need.
> >I tried drawing with a tablet.. it sucks. i really like the concept...not really a tablet but drawing on the screen directly. cinteqs?? are those things still super expensive? im going to look into it and maybe when that bonus comes in i might take the plunge.
> >Beats are a good idea. I used to get it in and sometimes I >think about making a new beat but I spend enough time looking >at screens. thats a good point, it wouldnt hurt to do something that takes me away from the phone and screens. im thinking i might look into some woodworking class. i do want to get into that and a beginner class would be kind of smart instead of jumping right into it. its been over a decade since i did any sort of workshop stuff.
