Shheeewwwwwwwee!

     Yesterday, ya' boy clocked 101 miles delivering phone books.  I think it was because of the Super Nutritious way that I started my day off, being I had the rest of the cereal that cereal we had for breakfast, it was Generic Almond Rasin Bran.  The funny thing about it was that when I woke up today, my Roommate got on to me cause he had not gotten to have any of it yet, as I had eaten it all.  I assured him that it was delectable, as he put his hand on his hip, like a girl from the Hood, bout to go off on someone.  I then go to work, 30 minutes late, didn't take a lunch. as to make up the time I missed cause I was late, and traveled throughout Red Bank and Deep Hixson, near Middle Valley.  It was a long day, I came back 30 minutes late also, so Boss manwas kinda not so very happy about!  
     Anon in the evening, once Dan, Karliss and I linked up, we started about our night.  To start the evening, we wnt to Diamond Billards Club, had a couple of cocktails.  We grow tired of the place, and dip.
     Thereupon, we go to my friend Steve's house and watch him blow some glass, which was a neat experience.  Then proceed to Rhapsody to meet my Friend Abby.  At which point it seemed as if the universe was working in my favor.  Everywhere we went, as we left like 5 times and came back, and went to other places and back, and so on and so forth.  Getting back on track, I kept on pulling up and getting Rock Star parking, which was a favorable experience.  We sit there and have a few beers, and see Donia and Roberto from Aretha's.  At which point, I had to go and relieve myself in the lavatory, so I tell Donia and Abby to sit and discuss for a bit.  I do said action, come back to them just chatting away, about absolutely nothing! We then press on to the gas station for get cigs, which our original plan before we saw these peeps.  
     Upon return, Abby and I decide to get a couple more beverages, do so and get into a deep conversation about back in the day and about how much we love cereal  in the morning, and just random convo!  She goes home, as I go to my friends Tattoo studio, 777, and talk to him for quite a bit.  We wind up talking for a long time about this and that, then it turned into a discussion of  getting an addition to the Tattoo he had given me a while back.  After some time, and a lot of hot air,  I progress towards the door.  At that instant, my Homie Karliss then gets to chatting with Brent, the proprietor of this fine establishment and artist of said Tattoo, and I get to talking to the other artist there about the addition to my Tatt, which was going to be a little star above a camel that I have on my left chest, to make it kind of a scene.  However, posterior to the conversation with Homie, it turned into sand dunes, a Palm Tree and a moon with a star near it...plenty more than the original simple star!  I wanted this done last night, as I was feelin' good, however he didn't have his #9 needle, or something of this manner.  
     On the way home, we stop at Diamond's for one last drink, since it is our neighborhood bar.  Here I remember the horrible news I spoke of previously, and ensue mass drinking!  We get home, which is just over the hill, and Raje was home and awake, so we kicked it for a bit, then I went to sleep.  I had set my alarm clock first, seeing as I was supposed to work today, but that's for the next chapter though, I gotta keep y'all coming back....stay tuned!

More Rainy Day Blues...

     After I slept for a long, long time, feeling sick-ish whilst doing so, I finally get up, against my better thoughts, and go check CrackFace, only, then get such a very disturbing message, that I am unable to reveal it to y'all's, as of now, sorry, but maybe later.  Anyways, I get up and do that, then go and kick it at my peeps place for a bit, then to my boys, then go to home to sit there and think about stuff going on as of now.
     Homegirl came by, the one I was speaking of previously, and we kicked it, Dan & Bah came by, as well as I got my paycheck from Homeboy today, meaning that I can pay a substantial part of my power bill tomorrow, because my Boss and his wife, who, not only brought me my paycheck, but also are my Homies from way back when Nappy was as Nappy as a hookers' weave, we drank some wine, parlayed, Trey went to class, and we, being Homegirl and I, went to Diamond Billiards Club and had some food, since neither of us had really eaten all day.  We had the special, which was Meatloaf and 2 sides, which was incredible!!!  I got Mac & Cheese with Mashed Potatoes, and she got Green Beans with the same.  It was incredibly good!  We then proceed to have MORE alcohol, she gets drunk, we then go to another bar named T-Roy's, that is right behind my house for one more drink, and like I say that everything happens for a reason, her and I went there so we, meaning I, could talk out my next, or I guesss first, since I'm back to number one, step in becoming the reason that Chatanooga blows up, Drum & Bass stylee.  Ol' girl just can't hang, I'm convinced of, cause right now, she's asleep on my couch while I'm here babbling to you folk...I'm really just funnin' y'all, she's a big girl, she's just tired!
     Well, I found out that, because I busted my hump so hard the other day, and delivered so many books, I have been promoted, of sorts, to check up man.  I will be making sure that everyone has been doing their stuff correctly, as well as tossing phone books.  The pay will be the same, I think, but I'm cooler!  I think that having done 2 postings today is plenty, so I'll leave you with this...Rastafari stands alone!

Rainy Day Blues...

     Well, I went to sleep last night, eventually, after chatting with my Homegirl, on FacedBook.  I then proceed to go to bed at about One Twenty-something am.  I was ready for bed having seen the day that I had incurred!  Not that it was physically trying or anything, but still, nonetheless, I was tuckered!
     Oh yeah, things I left out last night, Dude is 35 years old, had all kinds of things, such as cancer, amongst other ailments, and not only beat them all, but he also owns tons of things, like this Green Pages thing, I think a Vinny & Joe's, and other things of that nature, so if I bust it enough at this job, it may get me another job with ol' boy, who is a self made Balla', and has tons of stuff going on for himself, as I do want another job!
     I woke this morning at 8 and got myself readst to get at it, however when I get to Bob's Storage place, I get a text from my Homie telling me not to come cause of rain.  What I fail to see is why we cannot deliver these things in the rain, they have protecting plastic thingys over them, for just such an occurrence.  Well anywho, I get there, having just received this message, and tell him that I'm there.  He tells me he will holla in a bit and we gon do some office type junk, I may need to go and break knee caps, not Peter's, nothing to do with him actually, but we will see how this works out!
     So here I am awake this early, and not doing a damn thing!  I may go back to sleep, but this FacedBook game will not let me go!  I gave up on the diners, gardens, all that junk, but now there are puzzles and card games, there's always something.  I hope y'all enjoyed my snippet of reality, and continue coming back for more!  I did find some speakers that I can plug my phone up to and listen to Pandora though, so at least I have music at my house now, that's a plus!
    To top it all off, I got a sinus infection like a mutha'!  But I am supposed to kick it with my Homegirl today at some point, when she gets finished with school, or I with my stuff, either way, it's word!

Great Golly Green Things, Batman!

      So, last night, Trey and I sat up talking, or I was sitting on the computer while he was making drunken noises, that I kinda was listening to, but not really, as I fell off the train back when he was talking about Black Suicide, and how he was RAGE, people don't know what's up with RAGE!!!!!  To which my response was, you mean Raje, spelled R-a-g-e, but with an accent over the G.  From here on out on this Blog I will refer to him as Raje, which I know sounds kinda Indian, and he is far from that, as he is Gay and Black.  Moving on, I went to bed about 5 am, losing track of time whilst surfing the web, messin' with this blogs' settings, and FaceCrack, and what not.
      Well soon comes 8 am with Raje beating on my door yelling, It's time to get up.  He's a wonderful alarm clock!  Well, I get up, eat 2 bowls of cereal, then get safety supplies and get out about my journey of the day.  Today was a great day!  I drove around in the sun all day, with the sunroof open, bumpin' Drum n' Bass, tossing phone books at mailboxes, making sure not to throw them in any inappropriate places, such as the middle of the drive way, where they will serve no purpose but a tire mat, as you will do nothing but run it over every time you pull in the driveway, eventually ripping this nicely made and covered phone book to shreds, and it never getting to be used to its fullest ability!  What a shame, yesterday when I was there, the owner showed up and showed us a ripped up one that he had found somewhere on someones route.  He looked so disappointed, not really, but he didn't look pleased and I want to please this guy, cause maybe, if I show hard work here, he may find something else for me to do in his multi faceted corporation, of sorts, after this is all over, since none of the other Red Bird ass Thugs are doing Jack!
      So I bust my fanny today, delivering an entire crate of phone books, Green Pages, as they're called, which is an Eco friendly Yellow Pages, meaning it is made on Recycled Paper, and other friendly junk like so, to over 80 miles of Hixson, TN, grossing $80 today, and probably about $40 yesterday.  That's $120, in 2 days.  Totally fine for me, more than I was making at Blue Plate, and I actually had fun today!  I just drove around from Red Bank to way out in Hixson, all alone just zoned out on D n' B.  I just filled my front seat, level with my head, of phone books, and the entire back of my car was loaded down with books as well.  My strategy was to instead of having a passenger, I would fill up the area with books, albeit helpful in tossing, in the long run a hindrance, because you will have to go and refill the car more often, than with my technique.  You see you can carry more books, as well as get good at throwing them, as I did!  I got rid of an entire crate today, which most of those Birds couldn't do in a week, cause they tryin' to ride the clock.  You see I ran a business for my folks, back before I embarked on this quest for realness, that I am on now, which means that I know how business works.
      Since I deleted my previous blog, which had all of this information on it, I guess I need to get y'all's up to date.  You see, my life was extremely different!  I ran my family business, or I more or less was an overpriced  Babysitter for my folks, so that they could keep tabs on me, at their Dry Cleaners, named Champion Cleaners which is located at the foot of Signal Mountain, if any of you kind folk live near there, or even do dry cleaning, then you mos def should try them out, as they are and were voted Best of the Best in Chattanooga's something or other.  They're good, so try 'em out!  Well, tired of being treated as I previously have stated, an overpriced Babysitter, and being told different...I bolted!  Now this action extremely scared these Parental Units of mine, as I had no job, training, or anything much more than an extreme love for the earth, wink, wink.
As I was saying, I quit the job in the beginning of December and had no job, nor hopes of getting a job till January, since nobody would be hiring till then anyways.  So with high hopes, I went out trying every restaurant in Chatty, knowing many of the people running them, and there was nothing.  Well I eventually get a job at a boushy place and I didn't last a month, or about a month.  Then, discouraged, I go talk to my folks about coming back to work nights and weekends till I find a job, but they say they need me to come back and they then proceed to tell me why, and a bunch of other crap, that made me think I was in the Twilight Zone.  Well I finally burst out and go talk to people, take pictures, and enjoy the nice day.  Then happen upon a job at Blue Plate, which is a very nice place, but I then realized that I need not work in a restaurant any more.
     As you may know by now, I'm a firm believer in everything happens for a reason, and well I awoke one morning, supposed to be at work, and through all of the haze of the night before, I remember my Homeboy Peter telling me of this phone book job, so I call him to make sure that I have a job before quitting, yet another job, without having a job.  He assures me of this job, and I proceed to have a long, quittin' my job weekend, and don't make it to work in the morning on Monday, but do eventually get my car back and get there to work with this Bird, all talkin' that N***a word on the phone to his, white, Cousin.  Now I love Rap as much as the next guy, but dude, learn your roots, it's not your word!  I'm not gonna get into all of that, but dude sucked!  So I go back home and come in today, after having had 3 hours of sleep, and clear a whole crate, that's like 1000 books, and more than any of them Birdy Birds have done yet!  Now we're back to current, and I'm gonna go kick it with my Homeboy Karliss for a bit on the porch.  Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed!

Too Late for This Pilgrim...

I'm tired, but I had to start this new account so that something would work for me on this Blog, but here we are. I hope that you keep reading, even though the address has changed. Well now, moving on I arose this morning to my friend Abby calling me asking if I still needed a ride to my car, in which is at my ex-girlfriends house. The reason of this is that we got twasted, came to my house, to grab things, i.e. my Maui, went back to her house, kicked it, then back to my house, all by cab of course, then she took my car, along with some personal belongings, and left.
I awake, in a haze of course, after like 12 hours of sleep to Abby calling me asking if I still need a ride, we had chatted over FacedBook IM about how I need to get a ride to my car, cause ex-y lifted my junk. She said word, and called me in the morning, and at first I told her that I was not going to need a ride, got off the phone, then instantly called her back saying that I needed one. She told me that she would be over in about 30, and I went back to sleep for a bit. Woke with about 10 minutes to spare, threw on some clothes I found on the floor, then she arrives, with wine.
As we proceed to have a couple glasses of wine, we then leave and go to retrieve my vehicle. We get there and I must hike the stairs to her place, I walk in get my keys and dog, then proceed to my car. Arrive at my car, down this incredible flight of stairs, still in a daze mind you. Saturday night was crazy!!! Drive home, meditate and regroup, then embark about my day. Consisting of going to my Green Pages job, which was the ultimate. I was paired up with this bird named Jimmy Dean, and drove around listening to Drum & Bass, whilst throwing phone books from my window, strategically so that the books were facing front up, by the mailboxes.
Tomorrow we go and walk through Colonial Shores and place them all on the front steps, face up. I'm getting irritated at my roommate being crazy drunk, plus I must wake at 8 to do this Colonial Shores thing, so I'll leave you with this. Thank you all for reading and I do hope that you continue!
