Sh*t I'd Post On Social Media If It Wasn't Lent

"So, SAE..."

"My goddaughter just started crawling and but if you stand her up and hold both hands, she walks. Well on her way to being the #1 pick in the 2036 WNBA draft"

My hair is official the longest it's been all my life.

"So we clowning at Rock The RED again this year? #squadup" *tags my gangsta boos*

"D. Rose needs to do yoga."

"If we can just get Karrueche, Chris Brown, Tyga, all of the Kardashians and Wiz Khalifa the fawk outta here for the rest of the year..."

"Time to go sniff my g-baby."

"Why are Lebron's shoes $200? I'm not paying $200 for no hooping shoe, dammit!"

Had to buy some basketball shoes in kids sizes because Nike doesn't wanna make my go-to shoe in my size anymore. Well, whenever I get upset, I guess can just look down at my bright auss feet and smile. 

"Last time I got down with my boo PATrick RONald for a day party, I woke up the next morning in pain from all the dancing. So, what do I do different on Saturday: No drinking or no dancing #realissue LOL"

Bring dat sexy auss here!

"Nick Gordon sounds like he's crying throughout this interview...and not one tear has fallen. Get this nigga some help!"

March Madness...or som'n

Can you believe it's already March?? I swear, 2015 just started!

Downside: I have another month and a half to pay 2014 Indiana county taxes since my employer is in IL and those taxes aren't deducted from my check. *shakes fists* How the hell am I supposed to buy that Bentley now!?

Upside: I'm officially halfway through my certification program. AAAAANNNND My bff is home for good!!! Guess whose g-baby is used to her, now?

Will I be writing Babysitting The G-Baby Chronicles?
Will I ever be able to watch TV on my couch without falling asleep?
Is Jamal Lyons on "Empire" really that girl's father?

Stay tuned for the next episode of "Bish, whet?!"

Questions - 2.21.15

**Written on Saturday.**

This blogpost could have been written while I was on the train, heading to work. But because I'm torn between doing homework and taking a nap...here I am. I randomly decided before falling asleep on Mardi Gras night to give up all social media for Lent (along with candy). So, I use some of that idle time that was spent on social media to write in my little notepad.

Geez, what a lame.

j/k

So, in honor of Vibe magazine and indecisiveness...I present to you 20 Questions.

1. Why can't I sleep past 9a when my alarm clock is off?
2. Am I old?
3. Did they ever find out who let those dogs out?
4. Whose version of "Creepin" is better: Luther or Stevie?
5. Is Lil Wayne ever gonna release Tha Carter V?
6. What do my neighbors "like" me to blast more: "Songs in the Key of Life" or "Innervisions"?
7. Why didn't Drake give us a date and time so we'd know if we'd be late? 
8. Why aren't there are more recreational basketball leagues for women? 
9. Who told Nike to stop selling my fave hoopin shoe in my size?
10. Who else is ready for Winter to get the hell up outta here?

**OK, so I could only think of 10. Maybe I should take that nap.**

Becuase it's almost February...

...and I didn't want January to go by without me posting something, I am sharing with you a cut from an album I've been playing all week. I bought the album on iTunes, but I'd love to find the vinyl for this.

Happy Friday!

#MusicMonday - OK, I get it.

I've chronicled my thoughts on Jhene Aiko in prior blog posts. Looking at my history, it seems I've touched on the topic of her music every year since 2012 in the following posts:

• Unpopular Opinion
• Unpopular Opinion pt. deux
• Randomocity - 2.11.14

In the "Randomocity" post, I stated that she was growing on me. I was listening to a couple of Stacy Barthe mixtapes and it was something about her voice that reminded me of Jhene. So, I'm like "If I dig Stacy, then I have to give Jhene another chance." So, I started adding "Sailed Out" in my rotation and I dug it. Then she released "Souled Out" and I really liked what I was hearing.

This past Saturday, I attended a concert that she headlined. Her opening acts included The Internet (Already loved them), and SZA (I LOVE her stage presence.) Jhene comes out and the first song she performs is "Limbo Limbo Limbo." I turned to my girl and said "I'm going to like this album more after this concert." Sure as sh!t stinks...

I can officially say I am a Jhene Aiko fan. I said I wouldn't give up on her...and I didn't.

Bliss

I've had some great birthdays, but something about yesterday's birthday was different. It was more than joy...yesterday was full of bliss. From the moment I woke up till I went to sleep.

Like I've stated before, this certification program has made me more aware of what's going on around me. When in undergrad, I made plans up to the age of 30. Here I am at age 32 and none of the shit I planned in undergrad has come to fruition. But my life has still been so gat damn dope due to other unplanned occurrences. Through all the heartbreak, a quarter-life crisis (oh, it's real!), stupid decisions...I am still here. That thought crossed my mind yesterday morning and tears flowed.

Here's to another year of dopeness!
