Oh My God
I'm going to be 31 in exactly nine days. Trip out! I remember 21 like it was yesterday. Is it time to start counting backwards yet? I still get carded everywhere I go so that's a good thing. People tell me I look 20. This is a good thing too.
Incognegro
I spent this entire weekend undercover. Late Friday evening I turned my cell phone off and I didn’t turn it back on for the rest of the weekend. It felt good not to be in touch, to just do what I wanted to do. I’ve lived by that cell phone ever since I’ve had it and this weekend I decided that I’ve had enough.
Why is it that people feel like your cell phone is their personal tracking device for you? I’m sure we all have at least one person who calls repeatedly if we don’t answer. They will leave a voice mail but still continuously call back. I will sit there watching the caller id, letting them make a fool of themselves. Why are you blowing my shit up like that man?
Not to mention that nine times out of ten, when something is going on, everyone wants me to drive. I get tired of that shit too. So I dropped out this weekend. I wasn’t reachable for anyone and I felt like I had been let out of prison or something. I think I will turn it off more often.
Aside from that, I rarely give my home phone number out to anyone. It’s always the cellular. The cellular has caller ID and I label your number the first time you call me. That way, any time you call me after that, I always know it’s you. I’m free to send you straight to voice mail if I feel like it.
The Weekend
I spent the weekend in seclusion. I kept to myself and I liked it. I fell asleep on the Harry Potter movie. It looked like it was pretty good but I was very tired from the past week. I needed that rest and I rested the entire weekend. No partying, no hanging out, just me and television and books I’ve been meaning to read. I’ll need all the rest I can get since this weekend I will be in L.A. celebrating my birthday with my sister.
Why I don’t Like to Sign On AIM
Lately I’ve taken to only signing on AIM when I’m trying to find a specific person that chat with or get information to. It’s really hard to maintain multiple conversations. Even though I sign on hoping to chat with one or two people, a million people send me messages. I’m not ungrateful; being acknowledged by your peers is a good thing. Sometimes, however, you just want to chill out and not be into the scene as much. It’s hard to concentrate on ten conversations at once believe it or not.
I am a hypocrite however. This doesn't apply to me bugging you. :o)
The New Coach Bag
Um yeah. I am loving this purse. It has a pocket for my cell phone, a pocket for me to put my calculator in ( i often balance my checkbook on the go) and it’s just all around cute. I know I look good carrying it and people have been commenting on it. No buyer’s remorse over here!
Ghetto Karaoke
I’ve recorded myself singing/peforming the following songs:
Mariah Carey’s Breakdown
JJ Fad’s Supersonic
Chaka Khan’s version of Sweet Thing
Kelis’ - Get Along With You/Saddest Story
Destiny Child’s version of Emotions
Prince’s Irresistible Bitch
I’ve decided that I am going to do a remake of Irresistible Bitch. Anil’s going to do the production and I’m going to make a lot of money. You watch.
Damn You, HBO
Hey, why didn’t the Wire come on last night? Why wasn’t there a new movie on HBO saturday night? Did you know Sex and the City returns next Sunday? Why do we have to wait until September to see the Sopranos? When is Oz coming back?
I was so pissed when I saw that the Robin Williams thing was 2 hours long last night.
Ugh...and besides that, I'm pretty sure he's not funny anymore and is just annoying.
I wanna hear the recordings!!
actually he was pretty funny. but that still doesn't take away me missing a good show. just when i got all caught up on everything too.
and damn, i left my phone off all weekend and check my messages this morning only to hear one from George who is definitely not a bugaboo.
Cellphones are evil, a "digital leash" I call them. If its the last thing I do, I will be the only person in the free world without one.
Turn off the cell! It's so much better that way! My friends are always annoyed with me because I am "unreachable". Tisn't true! I just pick and choose who to reach! LOL
man, sometimes i want to do away with the celly, AIM, and even email. and i have the nerve to use a two-way too. just too many ways for folks to contact you. it leaves no time for sleep, or work, let alone a personal/social life. i gotta kick these gadgets to the curb. thanks for reminding me to shut everyone off. but i gotta admit, if it weren't for the celly, i'd never talk to anyone.
