All I'm going to say is that I'm preparing for April 10. I'll be back with more news.

In the words of my manz Tha Victor, "I got gas but it aint petroleum." Call it a sign of getting old. I don't know what it is. I eat the same things I've always eaten and my body reacts in ridiculous ways. I've had so many embarassing moments at this youth center with my flatulence--well they should be thought of as embarrasing--that I don't even bother to think about it anymore. I just let her rip. I have moments where the kids sitting next to me during a game scream out "Eww who cut the cheese," happen at least twice a week. Cunningly, I ask the same question and nonchalantly shrug it off until that one bold child says"I think it was Mr. Gordon." I slyly turn the tables on that individual and get the kids to rally around me as I accuse the bold child of cutting the cheese. Despite attempts to prove me guilty, my persusive, silver-tounged characteristics always win people onto my side. The staff and I joke about it all the time. Come to fi...

It really must be a cold day in Hell because I came to work mad early. Have you ever been in a place where you put 100% effort just to realize you get the same result as you did when you put out 0? Yeah, it's a sad phenomenon, but it happens. I've always been able to maintain my save the world, buck the system, social justice mentality, which I must say I have never lost. However, life has a way of bringing you back to reality to understand that at the end of the day some mad unfair and stupid stuff happens to individuals that hold the best intentions and strong ambitions for life. I had a really good weekend. I went down to Blacksburg to visit my alma mater for Black Alumni Weekend. I graduated last May with my Masters, which I took on straight from undergrad. So after spending about 7 years in the area, I didn't think enough time went by for me to want to come back and visit. Also mind you, my current job is definitely not where I want to be and the purpose of alumni func...

So today I made a kid cry. Not intentionally though. I'm not even sure if the other staff was aware of what happened but here goes. One of the kids fell out of a tree the evening before and suffered a fractured left rib and a severe gash on his arm on the same side. I knew this but I completely forgot around the time I made the mistake I'm currently explaining. This is one of the kids that I joke around with a lot. So after a serious clown session during an activity, I started beat boxing a Barney Song. Three other kids, including the one I made cry, joined in with very little beat boxing skill. They were spitting more than beat boxing. So the kid I made cry is beat boxing away and he spits on me. We are all joking, so it is all in good fun. I tell him that he's spitting not beat boxing. He laughs it off and keeps doing it his way. The he lunges this massive rain shower of spit on my arm. Of course I feel it and I take him by the arm and wipe my arm off on his side. The ot...

All I can say about this one is BHAAAAAAA!!! The Landlord from Will Ferrell

I got a serious kick out of this video. It is videos like that this that make me upset when I meet an Asian that dances awkward. I have plenty of Asian friends so what I just said is something that I have said in their presence and it's only meant to be silly.

After a long day at work, I pulled up the strength to complete a job application online for a government job. I was finished but I was 1 minute shy of meeting the deadline. The application didn't go through. I'm pissed baby. I could have been asleep two and a half hours ago.

I've been in a funny mood lately. When I saw the link to this on my friend's page I knew I had to share it with the rest of the world. Too bad I'm sharing this for all the wrong reasons. Dere it go!
