Black Tie Lounge

I had an awesome time Friday night and dinner with the family on Sunday was a great way to close things out. I still have to finish all the countdowns on my previous blogs but that will come soon. Thanks to everyone that made Friday Oct 21st a night to remember. Thanks to all the people that have crossed through my life that have made me better. Here's to a great year ahead of me and the past behind. GMC

Today was good. Maybe it's just because I'm feeling good right now. Whatever the case, I'm doing well at making this a memorable week. I'm going to really take the time and respond to every Facebook Bday post. Watch me. Today my parent's woke me up with a call, which I really appreciated. I had lunch with a new friend, which was cool. Had class, which I ended early. Then hit up Bar 7 with a few friends. I had a good time. I had a good time. I made it home safely and here I am. I have nothing poingnant to share. Thanks to all those that sent me a birthday shout out and even if you didn't it's all good. I feel the love and I'm moving into the place called better. My Countdown to 27 continues.

I can't get enough of this song!

So far the only thing that is good about this week are my blog posts. I spent all day trying to wire money to a friend who was in trouble over seas just to find out it was a scam. I know, I know, I usually don't fall for crap like that. I don't know why I didn't think to call and find out or even ask a mutual friend. The good thing about it was that in hind sight I saw the attempts to block the transaction. I didn't send the money. I can't believe I was so stupid. Ain't that funny, which brings me to my subject. Laughter is good. All the time. And all the time, laughter is good. I woke up and bust out laughing out of nowhere. That inspired me do this blog. 27 things that I laugh about still to this day. 1. I won't let that happen to me thoooooo. --Boondocks, the episode with Usher 2. Performing at the Dream Talent Show. I'm with Mike, Willie, & Brandon playing like we had a real gig when all the other contestants were under the age of 18. WTF. ...

I want this to be a memorable week but there was really nothing memorable except a whole lot of hassle. This mornings I spent useless time searching for a Western Union, which I've never needed to use. I find it and I don't have cash. Later on I feel like I left a bad impression on a job lead. I didn't get home until after 10:30 p.m. then I remembered the reason I went to Western Union in the first place. Still no cash in hand, I searched for Navy Federal ATM over DC. My GPS gave out on me. I go on a wild goose chase to get some cash. I get the cash and the nearest Western Union was too many miles past my house. Ugh Life doesn't always have to feel good in order to be good. Speaking of good I've made some headway into telling 27 people how I appreciate them. There are way more people that I want to tell this to so I don't think I should limit myself. The goal is 27 but if there are more I will do so. I reached out to my parents, of course, and two people I ...

This is going to be a good week. Today kicks off my birthday week. I'll be turning the big 27 on Wednesday of this week and celebrating big on Friday. The funny thing is is that I don't ever remember celebrating my birthday big. This is the first year that I'm throwing myself a party--a party that has turned to a joint party inadvertently, but a party nonetheless. This is the first time that I'm actually taking a solid week to enjoy myself and I'm going to make it good. To be honest, I'm not really feeling my best, but I'll muster up enough life in myself to make it all worth while. Today, after a photo shoot with Ministry Mindset, the team headed to Friday's to celebrate one of our group members' birthdays. I have nothing but love for all the October birthdays. For those that celebrate their birthday in October I make a serious effort to reach out. I guess it's my duty as a Libra. To be honest I have nothing to talk about. This is going...
