Do Some Ho Shit!

I'm wired off my 3rd extra tall glass of iced tea and watching Paul Mooney laughing my ass off trying not to wake everyone else in the house. There is no real reason for this post except I wanted to show this youtube clip...



I've been in a laughing mood all damn day.


Without Permission,

Its June and I'm fucking great!!!

My birthday has come and gone and the idea of 23 is a reality I am more than ready for. I realized that my depressed like state was self induced around my own twisted view of success and social status. For a 23 year old to work part time at a restaurant while trying to finish his under grad degree is a fate that very few are lucky enough to experience. While this road has had its share of set backs it is the one that’s best for me. I see people that I graduated high school with who have babies, and husbands, and mortgages and live in this world that is still so foreign to me. And to be completely honest I still don’t believe I’m ready to. I like my life. I can say that today without a hint of sarcasm. Of course there are things that could be better but that will always be the case. But I’m happy. Because honestly…How many people really get the chance to take a year off school and throw themselves into the work world for 4 months then another 4 months just reading and writing and trying to perfect their craft. Through all my depressed “I wish it would change” rants I missed how fortunate I was. Really, when I start school again in August (and I’m still not sure whether I’m going to fully re-enroll or go part time), I’ll be ready to do WORK!!!
I’m also waiting to hear back from AAA-Mid Atlantic, I interviewed with them last Monday and I feel really good about it. I am hoping to have good news to share with you before the weekend.

I make no apologies for the place I come from, the road that carried me or the place I currently live.- Bassey Ikpi
