My second set of school loans just kicked in. Glad I got all that traveling out the way, cuz I’ll be on lock down from now until further notice.

 
I even gotta downgrade my cable and cell phone services. *sigh* I guess I didn’t really need the We channel, Animal Planet, Showtime/HBO (I interchange depending on which shows are airing), and all those Music Channels.

But I’ll still have ESPN, MTV, Bravo, Lifetime, and my HD stations, so……I guess I’ll survive. I can’t downgrade further than that tho. Basic Cable??? Eck! Standard is bad enough.

So that means I gotta watch all I can by tomorrow. And my DVR is 92% full. I have a busy night ahead of me.

 
I’m secretly back on Weight Watchers. I’ll let yall know when I drop 20 lbs. If you don’t hear from me by Christmas……just wait longer.
 

 
I bought a treadmill. Damn thing tried to kill me when the weight loss program decided I needed to run. Bastard. But I ain’t no punk. I’m hangin’ tough. Though I just got my hair did, so I might not be runnin’ quite as hard as before (I know Dr. Ian said that I need to get over that hair excuse, but dammit, he doesn’t have to deal wit it or pay for it! - Lord knows I wish he DID tho!!!).

So the pseudo and I had a big fight, and I finally drove it home that I don’t wanna be his boo. Non-romantic acquaintances……perhaps. But I’m not ready, able, or willing to participate in the full on partnership that he wants.

My 10 day vaycay was right on time. We (I) definitely needed the time apart.

I saw him yesterday. He asked me if I still felt the same as I did before I left. I told him yes, but that lil sneak went and got his hair cut, lined up his beard, got some new jeans, and did some push-ups or somethin. He was lookin MY-T-FINE! He knew what he was doin’.

But I’m still not entering the partnership.

He’ll be back today.

 
I went and acquired some new music today.

 
I love this album! And I loved his last album (Street Love). Didn’t really catch onto the first one, but I might go back and revisit it.

 
I didn’t want to admit it, but I’m becoming a fan of Lloyd’s music. I don’t know what it is, but its catchy and cool. And remarkably, he doesn’t sound like anyone else out there.

 
I do have one question, however, regarding this new album……

……WHY (oh why) is Lloyd begging some girl to “please have his baby”?

 
Talkin bout how much he loves her, she’s the only one for him, don’t think he’s crazy but……please have his baby. UMMM!

 
And then on another song he’s talking about “this is the year of the lover, lets make a baby, lets do somethin crazy, lets reach out and love one another”……

Lloyd, what’s goin’ on?
Somethin’ you tryna tell us?
Somethin’ you wanna share?

Is having someone’s baby the ultimate symbol of love?

Ok ok, I know it is (supposed to be). But that’s almost a laughable statement considering the state of the parental society.

 
While the melodies and thoughts behind the songs are “nice” in a general sense (as a competent adult, I can appreciate the music and the loving sentiment behind having a child with the person you love)……I just hope these “kids” don’t go out there listening to these songs and get inspired to start continue procreating all willy-nilly.

Otherwise……

 
……I really enjoyed this album. Have a listen! (click on the pic above)

DAYUM!

 
Easy Jazmine……eeeeasy……

I get chills everytime I hear this song.

Her voice……whew. It captures the very essence of love and pain.

(not to mention, the joint is just HOT)

Real talk ladies……who’s been there before?

Who’s there NOW???

Hmmm, maybe you shouldn’t incriminate yourselves.

I have yet to (seriously) attack someones property for being an ass to me. But MAN! If I could do it and get away with it……and if I didn’t think it would come back on me……

Wooo CHILE!

Now……I don’t condone such actions……

……But I DO understand.

*sing along*   “I bust the windows out your caaarrrr……”

I got that “Storm” by Glenn Lewis on repeat.

So, a friend decided to “throw me a bone” and offer to come watch the Final Four games with me at my place.

I had previously pointed out to them that anytime I wanna hang out, I always get a “no”, so I was gonna stop asking. This was/is their attempt to “make amends” for neglecting me. While I should probably do a cartwheel at their generosity, I’m cool on being somebodies charity case.

 
Neglecting me? Oh goodness, how pathetic am I? I wasn’t tryna send anyone on a guilt trip into hanging out with me.

 
I reacted somewhat strongly to these words, because I don’t want someone just doing something with me because they feel bad. I’d rather you do it because you actually want to. And I kinda knew they were tryna “make it up to me” when they made the offer, and I was set to go along with it until they actually said that was the reason.

 
And maybe I shouldn’t be like that. If I wanna hang with them, maybe I should just say “Thanks, see ya tomorrow”. But……welp, that ain’t me. Too stubborn, I guess. Too proud. Its all apart of my self-sabotage thing I got goin’ on for myself. I’m pretty good at it.

 
Of course I let them know that while I appreciate the gesture, it wasn’t necessary for them give me a courtesy visit.

 
And now I guess I’ll probably be watching the games alone. Way to go, B. At least I still have my pride right? Whatever.  

 
Maybe one day I’ll get over myself, and accept the wimpy handouts kind favors.

 
Maybe not.

I’m really hurt that Glenn Lewis didn’t release another album, well, more like couldn’t release another album. Curse the demon record label execs! I heard a single from him on his proposed second album, “Back For More”, but nothing more came of it. And I found out that his project has since been postponed indefinitely. *sigh*

His first album was and is ON POINT. Its been playing in my car for the last couple of weeks and I can’t bring myself to take it out just yet. If you haven’t had the Glenn Lewis experience, I implore you to take a listen.

 
Glenn also has a couple of myspace pages showcasing some of his newer songs. Oh, they just make me long for a complete album that I can rock.

The closest I can get is this playlist.

 
I hope you all enjoy Glenn Lewis’ music as much as I have.
