Always Something New...

New CD in rotation...

A few days back at the job, a co-worker handed me a CD to listen to. I have never heard of this group called PortisHead. I popped the CD in, and the CD was so smooth and so sensual and YES, so sexy! The rhythm had me in going in circles. A very relaxing and passionate CD. It reminds me of the Soul Quality Quartet CD I have. It is very similar, with a band that is accompanied by female vocals. The album is titled "Dummy", it came out in October 1994. They have some other albums as well. I can't believe that I have never heard of this group. I find my taste in music very universal, but sometimes it happens. I just look at it this way: It took me a little over 11 years to listen to this CD but better late than never...


Unusual...

Not that I am complaining but January has been exceptionally WARM. I don't ever remember January having this many days above normal. I wouldn't complain, but this is how you get sick. With the weather changing like this: warm to cold and back to warm, rain to snow and back to rain, catching the flu is more likely. This is also pneumonia weather as well. So I hope people don't get too comfortable and be wearin' shorts because some people will pull it.

I talked earlier about changing my hair color. I was just bullshittin' but the thought comes and goes like that. Always want to try something new, you have to respect me for that. I know of two tattoos that I want now. I'll get the pictures of both and post them soon.


To all with the PHD's in Advisology....

I thank you all for the advise in reference to the woman that I can get out my mind. The comments, the emails, the phone calls, I thank you all. My status, however, will remain the same, but thanks. I didn't know that many people cared...


Da Sports Column...

I watched most the Bulls game last night. Yeah they blew out the Hawks 111-99. Besides Joe Johnson's 40 points, not much from Atlanta. Today I will watch Suns @ Cavs, Heat @ Rockets and Lakers @ Pistons (ala...Kobe @ Pistons). Steve Nash on National TV, priceless! Keep an eye on Boris Diaw, mad game!

The Super Bowl is next week. Seattle and Pittsburgh going toe to toe for football greatest prize. Around this time of the year, it's just not the game that is exciting. Others may host a party, which I will be attending but don't know which one. Some have money on the game, either football pools or playing the spread. I'll will you a breakdown of the game sometime this week and my prediction, although most people already know who I am going for.

March Madness is around the corner. Unlike last season, this year the field is wide open. We all knew last year it was either Illinois or North Carolina. A little different now. I have won the tournament pool two years in a row, so I will be looking for the three-peat. So the guys betta come with it this year, cuz they know about my madness.

Back in Business...

What's Goin' On DO1?...

I know I havent been on a lot. Been kinda busy with the new job and my computer stuff, haven't gotten a chance to blog or do some of the things that I normally do, but it's cool. I really don't want to talk about the Bears as we all know what happened. Hey, the Steelers won though so that's cool. The new job is cool. It's something for now but I have gotten used to it and it may work out after all. I have been doing collections for a long time and I think that the experience has changed my personality somewhat. I don't want to say that I am mean. Most people say that I am mean, but I just say that I don't take no shit. That's me though and people will have to accept that.

Other things have been going through my mind as well like:

I have a situation where I really like someone, but I feel that there is no opportunity for me to get this person, well at least not now I know for sure. I know that no one is perfect, but I know that this woman is perfect for me. I know that she would bring out the best in me. I am usually good in this situations but I don't know what to do now. I have been so confused lately about this. I have tried to not think about her, but I can't help it. I thought maybe over time, my feelings would wear off, but that's not the case. I have came across many women but not like this one. All I have to do is tell her, but I just can't do it. So I will continue to struggle with this for how long? I don't even know.

Pretty soon I will start swimming at the park district a couple of nights out the week. It's in a good timeframe for me so I will take advantage of it. I haven't swam since the summer but it's like riding a bike, never forget. Also I will try to get into another league. I am leaning towards volleyball. I am a pretty decent player, even though I haven't played since the summer. I'm looking towards the spring to join a league. I think it will be fun.

I have been looking at cars online lately. I plan to get a car in the summer or in the fall. I don't know what exactly what I will get but I have options. My car has been through enough. One more I ask, one more year. I would like a truck, but not ready for it just yet. Maybe in a year or two I would be. It's really no rush.

I have been thinking about changing the color of my hair as well as getitng some tattoos. I have always wanted a tattoo but never knew what I wanted. Now I know. As far as the hair, this is on and off. For some reason, I want to see how it look with brown instead of black. A lot of people has said to don't do it, but I don't care bout what they say. If I choose to do it, then it will happen. I'll see about that.

I want to also spice up my wardrobe as well. Maybe not right now but sometime down the line. I'm not talkin about wearing three piece suit or no shit like that. I mean to just a little funky with it that's all. Reminds me, I need to buy me a wok this week. I am the process to consume more healthy dishes. Just something I have to do.

Sorry no sports column or drink today...

I am very hungry and I have to stop here...
