JMJ asks.... Sooooo what is a man to do when he's robbed at gunpoint on the way to work for an honest day's pay??!! BULLSHIT!!!

KH at 11:52am
Wat who this happen too........

JMJ at 11:53am
Me... At about 10:15 today...

DA at 11:53am
What the hell? Umm... JMJ, I hope that this didn't happen to you!

TS at 11:58am
Dude are you serious! Where were you?

TB at 11:59am
Damn thats crazy. But hey if u still wanted to try what we were talkin bout (beyonce tix everyone's trying to get)u can do it today. Let me know if it works

JMJ at 12:00pm
Down the street from my house... Don't try calling my phone... They took it. So, if u want, either just send me a message, or hit me up on Yahoo Messenger. TB I don't have the necessary amount in my acct right now. But I'll try anyway. I want to go to the bank... But, u know.

TS at 12:00pm
Did you report it to the police?

SG at 12:01pm
Darn cous, srry to hear that. Better your phone than you though!!! glad you are ok

DA at 12:02pm
Damn, this is really fucked. Exactly what all did they take besides your phone? I really hope you reported it to the police.

JMJat 12:02pm
Yeah. Luckily, there's a police station right up the street. I was literally right around the corner from there when I was robbed. And they said it has happened two other times from the same guys.

DA at 12:04pm
Well that's good at least. I hope they catch these guys. And if your card was taken, you need to call and cancel it.

JMJ at 12:04pm
My phone, my carmex(DAMN MY LIPS R DRY!!), 12 bucks, some pens and my headphones. They're not exactly good at robbing people cuz if I was in their shoes, I woulda searched the person. But I still have my wallet, camera, and house keys that were on me. I still have my card.

SG at 12:05pm
not the Carmex !!!!!! LMFAO

DA at 12:06pm
Oh okay, goody! It still sucks that they took stuff from you, period! And I already know how you're feeling with the phone... and especially the carmex. Lol! I'm just glad that you're safe most of all. It could've been worse. Hope you get another phone soon.

TS at 12:08pm
I agree

JMJ at 12:08pm
Yeah. If there was only one of em, gun or not, I probably woulda fought him... It might be stupid, but I woulda been workin on impulse.

KH at 12:16pm
Im sorry love im glad u safe...........

JMJ at 12:24pm
So am I

DAJ at 12:31pm
So you're telling me that more than one person robbed you at gunpoint and only took your phone, $12, some headphones, some damn pens...and your Carmex??? What the fuck is wrong with our people! That's it... I'm Native American. We can't even rob right anymore. This confirms the vast downward spiral of the black community.

JMJ at 12:33pm
Lol right... Cuz he made no effort to check for my camera, my wallet with my bank card, or my house keys... Though he didn't know where I live... Point is, he coulda got more for his pathetic display of justlearninhowtostealness.

DAJ at 12:34pm
You should have asked his dumb ass if he wanted your socks too.

JMJ at 12:35pm
lol he probably woulda taken em. Then my feet would be uncomfortable.

DAJ at 12:36pm
Ha! Well at least he wasn't a complete fool and you're alright. Now you can go to work and be a bitch at RT! Yay!

JMJ at 12:37pm
Nah, I was on my way to work. I called them while I was at the police station, and my gm told me it was kool if I didn't come in.

DAJ at 12:38pm
Ok good. They should pay you for that day seeing you lost money... but that's just asking for an arm and a leg. You should get a gun.

JMJ at 12:39pm
Lol why would I get a gun? Totally outta my character.

DAJ at 12:40pm
Because guns are cool... duh!

JMJ at 12:44pm
ATTENTION EVERYONE!! I STILL HAVE MY CARMEX. THANKS.

DAJ at 12:45pm
Woo moist lips! [nohomo]

JMH at 12:47pm

A fence called Jesus

These are the texts I sent La at 1125-1130 PM, July 3, 2008.



*Oh God someone is singing and my mp3 player died. He's apparently singing about an "ice cream girl" and asking people what their flavor is. And now there's people playing his song!!! Oh God! This must stop!



*I wish I was lying. Now he's dancing! This is fooley Wang to the fullest!



*And people got the nerve to wanna join in! I hope you're not asleep. I can't take it Jesus.



They eventually left and came back singing a "love in the club" remix. Trust I got video. I'll have it up here ASAP. Just to clarify they texts, apparently I thought he was trying to sing/ hit on a chick, then his homey came up with the casio joint playing the song, and another dude had a camera... Apparently this will be on youtube tonight so if you see a chick with an afro, a frown, and a wife beater, that was me just trying to make it home from work cuz that Negro was in my face. His name... Was SKIIBO. No lie. Can't make it up.



This is just why I takes my camera everywhere.



Jesus, you were a carpenter, now please be a fence.

liberation

You ever just hear something that gets you so deep? I almost want to just bust out singing or crying on the train right now. Cee lo's part is it though... "my feet feel like I walked most of the road on my own." I think my MP3 player is trying to tell me something. So far I've heard the carpenters' "yesterday once more, timbaland's "miscomunication," and stone temple pilots' "interstate love song." by that I glean that maybe I need to go home.






Liberation Lyrics

it aint always easy...

so about a year ago, i started this blog in the hopes of becoming a better person. through that year, alot has happened which has helped and hindered this goal. i feel i am more the person i need to be, but in some areas i still need help. i started off on this journey because i was afraid of being the reason i'd lose the best thing that ever happened to my life, and lose the future we were making for ourselves. with that said, here's a look at my progress.

me pookie... hi.
him shup. what you doin?
me nothing. definitely not eating. just laying here thinking.
him bout what?
me us. how good you are.
him freak.
me not like that! i been thinking with all the shit going on with me i might not notice if something was going on with you.
him so what you saying?
me i dont know. maybe i'm not paying attention to you. i wouldnt know.
him what made you think about this?
me i dont know. just watching you make music today. and last night you were telling kit you werent inspired to write or something like that.
him well recently i been feeling a little looked over as far as my feelings about doing things.
me what you mean?
him like me not wanting to do something isnt valid anymore. like with the burger king situation.
me i understand. its just hard to see why that would be such a problem if we were going that way. but that's just that situation.
him i really didnt wanna go there. i told you that before. but we did anyway and my brother ended up being late for work and i was feeling anxious and rushed.
me sorry...

we further debate the lack of food choices...

me and i'm generally stressed and get my mind set on something that'll make me feel better.
him but we could have dropped him off and got you something.
me but when i'm told i cant have it i feel bad cuz it doesnt seem like so much to ask for. like the turtle thing. yeah. i'm a brat.
him it isnt. its just that you come at me with this vibe that puts mad pressure on me. its hard.
me i'm sorry babe. i'm a jerk.

i secretly start crying.

him i know that its not that serious but i hate being thrown off by something so small.
me ok. i'll try to do better.

we continue im-ing and joking around. but i dont necessarilly feel settled...

me how will you live with me the rest of your life? i'm crazy. and lucky.
him what you mean?
me i just am. you think growing up in a big family would teach me how to treat people.
him i'll ignore you when you act crazy. learned that from an old couple. in big families everyone's fighting for attention.
me that'll work. i dont know. i just cant get over how absentmindedly i do things.
him yep.
me i just want our relationship to be like new all the time. and i dont want you to feel something and not tell me. i mean, what if i hadnt asked?

i start to cry again.

him then i'da thrown you down some stairs, lol.
me lol. seriously babe.
him yeah. i woulda said something at some point.
me ok. i just want you to be happy with me.
him are you happy with me?
me of course! you make me feel like... i dont know. i didnt used to think i was supposed to be happy. youre my reward for all the shit i endured. i cant fuck it up.
him lol.
me i'm serious. i'm over here hyperventilating over this. i need you.

pause.

me. this is where you say you need me too...
him lol why you hyperventilating?
me i was crying. alot. my nose hurts.
him lol i do need you baby. now stop crying. i thought you was gangsta!
me i am gangsta! i'll cry and whoop your ass while doing it.
him doubt it.
me its just when i think about losing you it really fucks me up.

we continue to talk and joke. we ended on a good note and i'm glad we did or it would have just ate away at me.

so i think i'm getting better. i'm not totally caught off guard by my bad behavior... now if i could only stop it before it happens. this past week i've taken it as a lesson learned and i feel like we've grown. still waiting on that turtle.

i really curse alot huh?

i forgot the best one!

naturally...

"you go to bed with an itchy butt, ya wake up with stanky fingers!" a poker playing guest, to which my supervisor replied, "i hate when that happens."

and honorable mention:

"i skeet devon all the time." my other manager today in a meeting. skeet is the noise she makes when she doesnt agree with you.

work-isms

just a few things that cracked me up on the 3 to 12...

"no ma'am." nadia's boyfriend over the speaker phone when she asked him if he would come get her.

"what floor is that on?" many a guest when told we're located on the garden level.

"uh uh boo." me to the loud drunk guests.

"sometimes i wanna kiss her, and sometimes i wanna kick her in the back!" b telling me about his ex, who also works with us.

"i got five kids!" denny anytime people ask her about money, life, general well being...

"i dont do 9 am." me.

"i guess i'll be alright." the guest who BLED ON ME!

"ya'll should stay open til like 3 am." a narcotics anonymous guest when told we'd only be serving coffee until 11.

"sang it, damn it!" a coworker mocking my mother in law.

"you know, i work for the president." a secret service worker who hit on me and subsequently made racist comments about my friend and me.

"who else got a pole in their room?" my supervisor, who has grandkids, and can eat a banana whole.

"6.25?! you take visa?" guests buying cigarettes.

"all the rooms should have one!" a woman mad at the lack of fridges in the 1700 room hotel.

"it's a fantabulicious friday!" My 'not gay' male coworker answering the phone.

"the first man to touch me was an old white guy! i was so confused!" bri talking about her first trip to the gynocologist.

and there are many more...

while you losers are watching the super bowl...

we'll have red lobster all to ourselves. i will indeed not be at work. no matter how they presume to schedule me for this sunday, they can sit on it.

on to the post's purpose. kesi's and my anniversary is sunday. And i want a lobster tail and some blush. so i'm going somewhere classy. ok, i'm going to the place for "seafood lover in me" but that seafood lover is fat and must be satiated.

last night was the anniversary preview. i made fried chicken, (which i havent done in almost a year. it was bangin though) and we watched My Name Is Earl and a documentary on multiple birth families. this may not seem like a fun date to you, but i had a great time. all i wanted to do was make sure my man relaxed, which he did, in many ways, and it culminated in this texting to lauren:

me: i'm trapped. he fell asleep. and his feet smelled. i made him clean them before we did it.
her: Lmao!! hands down the funniest text i've gitten in forever. Ew stinky feet. thats real love.
me: it smelled so bad. apparently he'd gone right to sleep after he got home last night and since he was supposed to take my mom somewhere early this morning he never changed his socks. so it is a result of hard work that he stinks and is asleep.
her: still gross no matter what the explaination. spray him with something. or... cut off his feet.
me: i will not Kunta my man. he'd be really pissed. and then i'd have to wheel him around.
her: but you wouldnt have to deal with his feet. and arent the vows all about in sickness and in health?
me: yeah, A, i'm not married. and B, the vows say nothing about violence and maiming.
her: youre as good as married. and i mean, be original. must you take the same vows as everyone else?:-p
me: love cant survive attempted murder. i'm not a hillbilly.
her: are you sure? if anyone could its you two.
me: i know. we're so strong. he moved! i'm free! he was sweating too. i cant win...
her: eww youve officially shared too much w/me. so really what youre telling me is that you smell like a sweaty sex foot. niiiice.
me: this is an indeed accurate description of the woman you read before you. and i had chicken, if you wanna add that in. but above all, i'm satisfied.
her: must you taint the chicken that way? yuck.

one of the funniest convos we've had in a while. after we finished texting, i watched him sleep and ultimately cried, which always happens around this time of year. he just looked so peaceful- like a baby. i told him later how lucky i was to be the only one who gets to love him like i do. i really am. despite his stinky feet.
