My life is not really that hard, it just seems that way sometimes. I'm just a poor black man stuck way too far down south trying to make each day a little better than the last.

Well, How was every ones Thanksgiving? Mine was pretty good I hung with BooBoo and his family for the day. We had fun( his older brother's a trip), ate way too much. Personally I'm not really big on the holidays anymore. I could just as well have cooked for myself and chilled at the house, but apparently OTHER people don't like that so......

I think I'm going try to go home to St. Louis or visit my younger brother and sister in Cali this Christmas. BooBoo and his family invited me back for Christmas. Seeing as the 25th will be our 1st anniversary I considered it but I have not seen my family in awhile. Yeah, I'm going home. Speaking of Christmas. Has ever one finished there X-mas shopping? I haven't even yet. I've imposed a $40 limit per gift for everyone on my gift list except BB. Man. I've gone broke for these leeches in past years. Not this year. No sir!!!

I'm back at work now after an almost 3 month vacation. SUCKS!!!! Since the hospital is still closed I'm working in one Training group offices. This shit is awful. I literally sit around playing on the computer or reading from 7-5 everyday. The Air Force decided I need to be something so I'm doing something. I feel bad because I'm not trained to do this job and don't plan on really attempting to learn how. What are they gonna do fire me? So all I can really do is answer the phone and hand it to someone else. However since I'm the highest ranking in this office I guess I'm supposed to be somewhat in charge. That's where they are wrong I'm just here helping out where I can. I have no plans to take any kind of responsibility for this office or anyone in it. About to make me have a "nigga moment". Evey one watching The Boondocks?

The Boondocks

Has everyone seen the first episode of The Boondocks?

I thought it was pretty decent. I think grandpa was the star and funniest character last episode. I also don't like the voices of Huey or Riley. They sound like little girls in fact I think that Regina King is voicing one of them.

I am so tired of people looking to me to solve their problems for them. I'm done!!!! Everytime someone has a problem. Call Larry !!! Jeez!!!

I just got off the phone with my mom. Her car was stolen outside of her Church. Sad right? She has my sympathy. I know she needs to drive like a hour to get to her job( by the way she got a job, I'm proud) and now that's going to take even longer on the bus...... In the winter. I feel for her...Until she asks to "borrow" money for a down payment on a new car( did I mention she has no insurance). Now I know what borrow means in my family....Give. I tell her I don't have that kind of money. She goes into how she's going to lose her job and end up on the street....blah, blah and other things to try to guilt me into doing something I can't afford to do.

My younger brother doesn't renew his license/ buy tags six months ago like he was supposed to, at least this is story he told me. Anywho. His car gets towed and he needs to write a $700 check to get it out of impound. The only problem is....HE DOESN'T HAVE $700. So of course he calls me. I told him he was shit out of luck and got off the phone. He's 24 years old he should know better.

There are a few more examples but I think you get the picture. Ugh!!

This just in "I'm still mad at BET". That's all.

I want to watch Noah's Arc soooo bad. I seriously doubt any cable networks in southern Mississippi will be providing LOGO anytime soon. We don't even have UPN.

BooBoo was supposed to come down and spend the day with me, but something came up at the last minute. Sigh. I'm heading up to his place tomorrow. We're supposed to be going to his old high Schools homecoming. "that's Awesome" what I said , not how I feel. His mom invited me to church on Sunday. While I'm tempted to say thanks but no thanks I think I'll go. It has been a minute since I've been in anyone's church. I'm just happy to have some plans. I'll let ya'll know how it went.

It's BET

So, I just finished watching the big BET 25th Anniversary Show. Um....Yeah. OK. I didn't really get it. It was supposed to be a tribute to BET but often didn't seem to be about BET at all. It was more like a 25 year tribute to black folk. That's pretty much the best way I can put it. There were a few decent musical performances:

New Edition pulled off a very energetic if vocally off performance. Bobby ...Um...Was Bobby.

LL while looking good seemed a bit dated. He licked his lips a lot though. Probably should have lost the shirt.

John Legend covered the Luther tribute singing "A House is Not a Home". It was decent I mean he's know Luther but it was cute or whatever. He really should see a orthodontist if he's going to continue to sing with his mouth all open like that.

Nelly performed something or other. I wasn't really paying attention. At least his naked upper body kept my attention away from Paul Wall. I really don't like Paul Wall.

R. Kelly as usual was very lively. I really wish he would have chosen to perform two or three songs instead performing one or two lines from half his catalogue.

Alicia Keyes performed Unbreakable. I'm beginning to really like that song. "We can fight like Ike and Tina".

Why they didn't have artist performing some hits from back in the day or anything I don't know. It' BET.
