After laying around the house pretty much all day last Saturday, I decided to go out. I left a little later so I could watch Parking Wars, and I literally paid for it. Ah well. Club was okay, nothing great. Last Sunday I did nothing at all. I think I watched basketball most of the day. Didn't even clean up around here like I should have.

Really lax week at the office. Too bad it's over and it's "go time" from now until the end of session. It'll be much better for the wallet, I'll say that much. This next check is going to look miniscule compared to the last two I've pulled in. I spent a lot of time writing (the results will be on here at some point) and doing random nice things. Donated blood Monday and went birthday present-shopping Thursday. Things really picked up Friday. First, I was able to leave early. I spent the time on campus (FAMU's) and got in some set time. I may be too old to say this, but FAMU has some really pretty Deltas. Saw Madea's Big Happy Family and then went to a party.

Yesterday I woke up feeling the effects of the previous night, which was funny because I don't drink. Was supposed to go bowling, but that didn't happen because my friend was in worse shape than I was. Caught up with another friend and was going to go to a pool party. Came back here to change clothes but I fell asleep watching Parking Wars. Went to a fish fry and learned how to shuck oysters. Ate a few, of course. After the fish fry I went home and changed clothes to hit the club. Not as many people as normal out there, but did I have fun. It mostly came from playing the role of "boytoy" for about 20 minutes. I'll keep the details.

Couple of friends invited me over for dinner, so that's about the extent of my plans for today. Now I'm going to try to catch up on some of this sleep I've missed the last couple of nights.

Normal week, nothing special happened...oh, I was able to get a UConn shirt for $10 online. That was cool. It'll be worn a lot this summer. What else...that's really about it. Didn't go to Little Black Dress Night or anything. There's all kinds of stuff going on today, but I may just stay in the house. FSU's spring game, the Luau concert, the Poison show...one other thing I can't remember too. I'll just clean up around here. I'm also leaning against going out tonight. I'll be fine keeping my money and watching the season premiere of Parking Wars. Shoot, I need to eat some breakfast. Later, Xanga.

So I did a bunch of nothing for the rest of the day yesterday. Decided against going out yet again. Watched some TV and that was basically it. Went grocery shopping around the normal time and then woke up to watch Joel. Slept for much of the day, although I washed my car and watched some Bait Car until I saw that Tiger was in contention at the Masters. After Charl Schwartzel won I got my clothes ready for the week and washed dishes before cooking dinner. Now I'm taking it easy and I'll lay out for the rest of the evening. Hope everyone enjoyed their weekends.

It's Saturday and I'm here. Turns out office time will be next weekend. Same Saturday as Luau, the Poison show, and the Kevin Hart show....oh, and the FSU spring game. Joy. Nothing really interesting to report, other than the return of Police Women of Broward County. Andrea still looks as good as ever. There's also a police K9 unit show centered in Broward that airs right after Police Women. Home team, all day. Thinking about going out tonight, but I doubt I will. The Moon just doesn't do it, and the other spots are all charging at least 15. Oh well, at least next week the new season of Parking Wars will start. Right now I'm feeling lazy since I put in so much extra time downtown. I put in enough that I had no interest in staying after 5:30 yesterday. I'll probably lay around today and then clean house (and car) tomorrow.

You already know what happened Monday night, so no need to go there. I did go back to commenting on VSB (verysmartbrothas.com - highly recommended read) after the game. How about yesterday morning, though, my power was out. I woke up - and showered and got dressed and all - in total darkness. Even my phone was about to go out, but I was able to get to the office to charge it...well, after I went and helped the NASW folks out a little bit (loyalty matters). Office day was an office day. Went to the mall afterwards and caught up with Romain. It's funny how we won't see each other in months and then completely catch up and not really miss a beat.

Nothing of note today...I just know I'm tired from not getting a lot of sleep and burning the candle at both ends at the office (got there at 7 this morning and left at 6:30). And I'll probably have to go in Saturday. Hope they're prepared for my Saturday vibe because I won't be so corporate. Anyway, I'm going to get some much-needed rest. Hope all is going well in Xangaland.

Yesterday I washed the car and to be honest, that was pretty much it. There was no BBQ and I didn't do anything else other than wash the car. I watched WrestleMania, which was bad at best. Also saw the UConn women lose (sigh).

As far as today, what a day. Had a lot to do, still even more on the plate. Nothing too crazy at the office, but afterwards...man. I went to the NASW pre-Lobby Day conference (loyalty is king) and then came back here. What's on deck? Well, there's the post-WM raw. There's DWTS, which I'm watching now. There's a certain basketball game tonight. Since I have much to do/watch, I'll stop short.

Sheesh, a week and a half? Well, a large part of that is due to the fact that my flash drive broke (greatly reducing my opportunity to write). Actually, I haven't been writing much of anything lately. What have I been up to? Work, and lots of it. I logged about 8 hours of OT in the previous two-week period and I've already got 7.5 this week (had 2 hours both Monday and Tuesday). That hasn't allowed me to do much of anything (which means I don't have much to write about), although I have worked out. Anyway, last weekend I was all ready to go out after UConn made the Final Four...but the club changed the pricing without telling anyone. Not cool. One of the DJs tried to talk me into staying, but I left on principle.

Never got a chance to catch up with my friend, but I'm not sure why. She said she was leaving Sunday, so I texted her Saturday. Still haven't gotten a response, although she and I have talked via FB comments since then. She hasn't explained, and I haven't pushed it since it really doesn't matter. Ah, speaking of woman trouble...

...last Sunday I was scheduled to go out with this girl - oh yeah, she pushed our outing back from Friday since she had to go out of town - but then Sunday morning she pushed it back to 6. Problem: by that point I'd pretty much lost interest in her and quite frankly would have preferred to simply stay home and watch the game. She said she'd call around 5:30. Call never came, I watched Kentucky/UNC (while still getting over the shock of Kansas losing to VCU) and that was it. Neither of us has attempted to contact the other since.

Normal week, except for my actually going to Little Black Dress Night on Wednesday. It was cool: not my type of vibe, but cool. There were a lot more men than I expected, which of course was not the business. I also was reminded of my fear of falling. The event is held on the 8th floor of a hotel and I had to walk really close to the edge. Given the relatively low height of the wall (about four feet) and my high center of gravity, I was not comfortable at all. I probably looked like I was walking in high heels. I felt like I was nervous, and I felt myself looking like I was nervous.

Friday I went on campus and this girl called me "sir". Given the fact that most people have said I look young for my age ever since I was 17, I was taken aback. I then decided that I'm going with the bald look (down in Lauderdale we say "rocking a zero") for the foreseeable future. I can't do the "sir" stuff, I'm sorry.

Yesterday I somehow kept myself busy all day - oh yeah, I caught up on music - until the basketball games started. If you care about the results, you know them already. Obviously I was very happy. Waited in line at the club (different than the one from last weekend) for over an hour. After they held the line up to ridiculous levels - if you get in a line of maybe 50 people at 10:40, not getting in before 12 is ridiculous - I went to a house party that I only heard about because the girls in line behind me were talking about it. Of course the cops shut down the party just as it was taking off. Oh well, such is. At least I got to celebrate somewhat.

Today I've just watched Joel so far. On deck? Washing the car, a BBQ, the UConn women, and WrestleMania. There may be some other stuff too. Just playing it by ear and living life. Oh, I almost forgot: I weigh more now than I ever have before. Between eating at the office and working out, I've put on some pounds. This is a good thing, by the way. I want to start running again, but I don't want to lose weight that I've gained. It will make me healthier, though, and give me more stamina (not that it's needed for anything) so that's a fair tradeoff. Oh well, by ear...like everything else.

One last thing: so I figured out how to solve this moral dilemma I've had. Ever since a harrowing experience here, I've distanced myself from one of my friends. To not go into too much detail, he did something that I just can't vibe with on any level (if you're a regular reader, you can probably guess what). I had an epiphany last week when, as I was eating breakfast, I remembered the phrase "hate the sin, not the sinner". Ever since then I've worked to apply it. There's also the "all sin is sin" part and that which says that we're not to judge one another. I'm not perfect, so me holding someone else's imperfections against them is unfair to say the least. To top it all off, Joel's sermon this morning was about helping others. Somehow his messages always apply to something I'm going through at the particular time I hear them.

Okay, I'm really done now.
