I'm better...

... than yesterday at least. I'm working on the situation that had me bummed yesterday, and I got some calls from 3 of my closest friends ANY OLE WAY, and their crazy behinds made me feel better. Especially Tyrice. I think he was drunk or something close to it ( but let's be clear, he's not a lush... just had to clarify). He called me after he'd gotten home from an after-work party at a real nice club in NYC whose name I am now drawing a blank on. Anyway, he called me talking loud, laughing, and singing the songs that had been spun at the club. After a few minutes, he pumped up the music in his crib and started dancing with me, but over the phone. I know that sounds weird, but his energy was so infectious I had to get up and dance with him. We do shit like that sometimes. I need friends like that.

My other two friends made me smile too. Asia, because she's just silly and when she first called she was sitting in the park and there was a man playing a trumpet and his song was so soothing, that I felt better after just a few bars. I was like, "Dag, girl, let me find out you got a band following you just to give our conversations a soundtrack!" She's the bomb. She's also gonna send me a little something something to wear as a belated birhtday gift. She makes clothes, and she is fly as hell! I love her sense of style, so I don't even to have to ask what it is, or what color or anything. I know I'll rock it with pride. I'm gonna catch up with her though, I bought a sewing machine the other day and I'm awaiting its delivery. *rubs hands together evilly* I gotta get back to Philly and go shopping with her again though. When I was there a few months ago, I copped a fly suede jacket for 10 bucks! What! What! YOU CAN'T STOP A WOMAN FROM SHOPPING!

Meagan was the first to call, and she's going thrugh her own thing with a very recent breakup and all, but she's still crazy as hell. We're gonna take a trip together in the coming months when my money is looking better. Right now I'm looking at "back to school" shopping, my baby's impending 11th birthday, and holiday gifting ( although all gifts will be made, not bought). In other words, no matter what I'm doing for money soon, a nigga gon' be struggling for a minute! So yeah, back to Miss Meagan Schmeagan Coheagan... she and I will be taking a trip away from BOTH of our respective resident cities to we can wreak havoc on another. Our choices are Orlando, Miami, Philly, L.A., and NYC.
We're both leaning towards NY though. Me, because it's basically home for me, and I am thorougly homesick. For her, it's because he last trip there was a bust and she KNOWS NYC is better than that! We're still open though. We'll make a decision when she gets back from her trip next week. She's going to Senegal. I think I'm going to have to arrange an international trip amonsgt a few of my friends soon. Can you imagine what kind of mischief we could get into? Of course you can't. Most of you that are reading this don't know me that well---yet. *impish grin*.

You know, I must apologize for my rambling style of blogging. I sometimes forget or all out ignore the rules of traditional writing, so I know iit might be frustrating to read sometimes. My bad! Yeah, so anyway, all of the above was my little way of writing an ode to some of my peeps. As anti- long distance relationship I am... I'm doing it faithfully anyway, just in a platonic way. I so wish I could see my friends all the time, but I'm no closer than 4 hours to any of them. I LOVE THEM THOUGH! I feel it right here! *points to heart*


Oh, one more thing. I'm meeting someone I met over the internet today! Clutch your pearls later... it's a very old experience for me, lol. I live in a pretty wack city, or at least culturally it is. ( read: the Black folks here are generally not progressive, ad are content with being ignorant and are not used to having nice places where it's mostly us there having a good time.... and ESPECIALLY w/o Lil Jon and 'nem being played every five minutes. WHHHHHHHHHHHHAT!!!! OKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYY) Anyway, she's a transplant from ATL, and we will be celebrating her daughter's birthday, who is very close to my daughter's age. I think it'll be a good time. I'm SO looking forward to making friends here. I've been here as an adult for going on two years now, and I don't go out unless I go with fam, because it's hard to meet like minded folks here. Wish me luck! I have a good feeling about this though.

See ya!
