Something Old ( well sort of), Something new ...

Yup. I disappeared again. Not that I am still in my slump, but because I have a new addiction… yes folks, it’s true I have been cheating on my Facebook game addiction with DANCING! Oh, but not just any dancing but SALSA dancing!!!


It all started with a friend of mine that runs a lounge…

I got a facebook invite to attend an International night at the lounge I use to frequent quiet often. At first I check of yes I would be attending, then a week later I change it to maybe. (I changed it to maybe due to the weather.) So my homeboy that runs the place sent me a message asking why I changed my response. (Dang I didn’t know people monitored that…lol.) I sent him a message back saying it depended on the weather. The following week the roads cleared, I got other requested to attend the event so I did.

Now growing up in Chicago I grew up around a lot of Latinos, I grew up listening to there music, eating there food, I can even remember the first time I ate guacamole as a child. To this day I LOVE MEXICAN FOOD!!! Heck I had a nanny from El Salvador who fed me crazy corn, and real pork tamales, and ect… (sigh… I miss that woman) Anywho, I had a best friend named Vanessa Marquez and her family always threw parties, and these weren’t just any parties…oh, no, no, no, these were CELEBRATIONS!!!! Like when Katt Willams joked about Mexican dancing all night until the next day, he was speaking nothing but the truth…lol. Vanessa’s step dad taught me basic salsa moves, amongst other Latin favored dances I was probably 9 years old or younger around that time.

So here I am years later taking salsa classes. It is trip, some of these move are hard, like as I type this my shins hurt, I haven’t the slightest clue why…lol. So I am currently taking the classes 3 times a week Sunday nights, Monday nights, and Thursday nights. I am giving myself about 2 months before I start actually going to salsa clubs :) .

Men in the classes…
This past Monday was the first night I went to the Monday class. It was a few cutie pies there :) , and there was this lil cutie pie with long dreads there as well sitting at the bar staring me down. ***cocoablushes*** Like homeboy really was breaking he neck watching me. So by 11 pm I was heading out to make my way to Marvin (cool lounge on Ust) , I headed to coat check and the lil cutie pie asked me to dance. I agreed, and the lil cutie pie is an awesome dancer, he was doing moves I haven’t learned yet. As we dance I was hit with this wave of musk! My eyes stared to water, and my poor, poor nose :( . It was my dance partner. Sigh. I am going to go out on a limb and say he is a “natural” guy. It could be a number of reason his under arms smelled like raw onions,

and none of the reason will be acceptable in my book. So as soon as the song ended I jetted.LMBO!

So yes dance has entered my life I can’t wait to see my progress… I may even have some video up soon 

Valentine's Day

I don’t remember ever having a romantic valentines day, I planned one once years and years ago, but everything that could go wrong did go wrong… lol. I was dating the handsome Larry (he is Black and Asian, with long locks…sigh…lol) I made a few Lobsters, with stemmed asparagus, a shrimp salad, and strawberry short cake (his favorite, I never cared for it, but what “my man” wants, "my man" gets). As soon as I finished cooking he called to tell me he couldn’t come because of work. As I sat on the phone with him all I could think was “I thought this only happened on TV”, Larry went on and on about how “we make everyday valentines day.” Then he told me he wouldn’t be able to call me later because his phone was about to die, but he would be able to text me… (side eye) That’s when it hit me “something was up”. I got off the phone with him and enjoyed my dinner for one, and called up my girls friends. The power of the girlfriends combined with 3way is something a man can not mess with….lol. Talking to them was just like adding fuel to the fire…lol, they all came up to the same conclusion I did “something was up”. I sat on my couch crying staring at the beautiful flower arrangement he had delivered to my job. (sad huh) I just couldn’t figure out how he could have time to be seeing me and someone else at the same time??? He was either at work, at school, or with me… I was stumped.


The next day I was getting ride home from work, and got into a car accident. ONLY ME! I finally get home, and called him… and I get he’s freakin’ voicemail. So I text him and he texted me back asking a thousand questions. REALLY!!?!??! I couldn’t do it. I laid in bed that entire weekend, aching over, I got online and had an email from this girl asking about who??? You guessed it folks Larry! She explained to me that she was away at school this whole time, and came up to surprised him for Valentines Day. She asked me to please call her. (Apparently she saw the pictures of us together on Black Planet. (If that is any indication of how long ago this took place…lol.) I called her, she didn’t act a fool or anything, we had a civilized conversation. The killer part was the fact she was at his house the whole time we talked on the phone…lol. Homegirl locked herself in his bathroom…hahahahahahahaha. When he knocked on the door he asked her what she was doing and she said “oh I’ll be out in a minute, I am talking to your other girlfriend Tiffany.” WOW! LMBO! He started calling my other line and texting me, I wouldn’t answer. Sigh.

Today Larry and I are friends surprisingly. We chat online, and even call each other every blue moon. Before you ask, how could I be friend with him after that? It’s simple, he confessed his wrong doing, and whole heartedly apologized to me. It was that simple.

THIS YEAR

This year I had 7 Valentines  Ally, Anise, Alesha, Antionette, Adien, Christina, and Melissa. I threw a “Single Ladies Brunch” we had a ball! Good food, good company, fun times. I got a few Happy Valentines Day text from some ex’s and jokers …smh.

I haven’t given up of having my one romantic Valentine’s Day, but for now, I’ll wait 

Mind Rambling

Soooooo …

HEY YA’LL I have missed ya’ll…lol. I still don’t feel 100% but hey I’ll give it a shot. What been going on that me???? Hmmmm… I had jury duty for 3 day about a week ago, it was interesting. Is it weird that I miss some of my fellow jurors? It’s a shame we didn’t get to exchange info with each other, we were so happy to finally be done with the case we ran straight out of the jury room…lol.

I haven’t been really dating… I have hung out with a guy I have know for awhile a few times… we are friends I guess… I am still thinking up a nickname for him (it's a chacarter from space ghost that reminds me of him...lol I will have to Google his name). We went to see the movie “It’s Complicated” (which was hilarious by the way). But yea, he is pretty slick I must admit… by the time the movie was over we were cuddling and holding hands… I don’t even remember it happening…lol. I get confused when I talk to him because he is very even toned, I can’t tell when he is serious or playing lol. Then there are time when he just stares at me real hard, like he want to fight me or something...lol I don't know what that is about.

I recentlyed learned something (from watching Queen Oprah) that will give me some closure about Darrell's death.

The Cutie Pie recently told me he wants other shot ***side eye*** ummm...

I have new pet peeve: why do people text you asking you to call them... if that isn't the dumbest thing!?!?!?!?! Grand dad keeps doing that ... noooooooooooo I will not call you... you can call me.

Glenn and I chatted a few days ago... he told me he is dating...yet again. I can't say I wasn't bothered, but then I started to feel sorry for the girl... whoever she is. Maybe he has finally found what he has been looking for. *shrug*

Someone makes me smile alot... and I do mean alot. It's not romantic or anything, it's just something nice. I may write about it I may not.

Oh yea before I forgot... I am revamping both blogs… so stay tuned.

Were I have been...

Where have you been? Are you going to blog again ...lol. I took a little break. I do have alot to write about, but I will be taking baby steps.

My aunt lost her husband recently, suddenly, and quickly. I heard her yell out in pain, I sat and watched a woman's heart break. There was nothing I could do to stop her pain, it broke my heart to watch her. I watched a few tear drops fall. She tried to breath life back into her husband, but he was gone. I watched my aunt be strong. I love her so much. I got my dimples from this woman, but I haven't seen her normal smile lately. My aunt is a busy body, and shop alcoholic... lol I hope she remains that way. Will she ever be the same? I am not mad. Should I be? God needed a new angel. That puts my sadness at ease.

I have been with my family. I don't normally spend alot of time with them, I don't know why. My world just doesn't seem normal anymore. Everything feels somewhat like a dream. I feel disconnected from somethings. I am finding my passion for things again, I am finding my inspiration to write again. I am just waiting to feel like me again.

I was gonna name him Cat Daddy but I opted for ....

Granddad!!!! I went on a "date" last night with Granddad. If you remember my blog/rant about men giving out cards... welp he was the one that yelled at me as I was going down the staircase...lol. Yup I called him.

So we were supposed to go out this Monday, but I canceled because I was sick as a dog. He was really understanding. He evened called to see if I needed anything. Awwwwwww....lol. So we rescheduled for Saturday. Yup the day of the Cowboys game...lol. SO. I called him Saturday, and he told me he wanted to watch the game, I asked him "do you want to see me before the game then?", and he told me "Oh no, you are coming with me." WORD!?!?! LMBO! I guess he realized that he sounded bossy, "oh man I wasn't trying to stay you had to, if you want to do something else we can." LOL! I told him it was fine, this man is too funny.

So he was was late, then i was late then we finally got ourselves together...lol. So I get in the car, and then he tells me we are go anywhere since we missed the beginning of the game. Cool with me... until....

Just fast forward the 3:40

minus the coupon.

I could have died laughing then and there!!! The sad part is, while I was waiting him to pick me up their commercial came on, and I thought to myself "I could really go for some cheddar biscuits." LMBO!

We get the restaurant and I tell him we can sit at the bar to watch the game. He looked at me like he was in love...lol. So we sit at the bar, he does most of the talking which I don't really mind, he is a very interesting person. I think I was in the game more than him...lol, he didn't seem to mind. I notice two chicks get across the bar kept eyeing him. Oh really tricks? It made me laugh. I went to the restroom and came back, and he was having a conversation with group of people that was sitting at the bar. "Awww he is cute." I thought to myself ...lol.

Overall I enjoyed myself. The two tricks kept trying to get his attention, all I have to say about that is, they are lucky I am saved. *blank stare* But yeah, I had fun with him. He was a complete gentleman. I honestly don't see anything happening with him. Not because of his age. I just know he isn't looking for anything serious. I would hang out with him again, he has already told me that, that was going to be the first of many dates. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we shall see. Lol.

I guess I should reveal his age now... he is.... ***drum roll*** 50.

Pastor Pimpin'

If you are friends with me via facebook or twitter, you may have heard me mention the guy I have dubbed "Pastor Pimpin". Pastor Pimpin is a guy I when to school with, who is now a pastor. The "pimpin" comes in to play, due to him giving off the "playa, playa vibe". *blank stare*

Pastor Pimpin isn't really a bad guy, and no I am not saying that because he is a pastor. He has some good moments with me. Pastor Pimpin has this thing where he thinks he is sexy or something. *blank stare*, he is a big guy, not to say that big are sexy, because there some very sexy ones out there ***flirt, flirt, wink, wink*** it's just that Pastor Pimpin' isn't one of them.

It all started via Facebook, he would send me messages asking, "when are you going to let me take you out?", I would tell him "wouldn't you have to ask me first?". This is a typical converstation between us. Then I remember the night of the Inguaration he calls me asking what I was doing, I tell him I had to work that night. Pastor Pimpin' then tell me "Yeah, you know I wanted to see what you were doing cause I am with some of my boys, and I want to see if you could get some of your girls so we could all go hang out." OKAY DIDDY!!! For some reason that got me in a bad mood... I told him "sorry, but I am working all night."(which was true) then Pastor Pimpin' tells me "Well, okay, you know you can call me sometimes." Sigh. I tell him "Oh. Okay. Thats good to know. Well, I have to go talk to you later. Bye."

Pastor Pimpin continued to keep in contact with me via Facebook , and asked to take me out for breakfast one day. I said yes, I mean whats the worst that could happen? So we go out to breakfast one Saturday morning, it was cool. Pastor Pimpin' told me about his health issues, and why he gained so much weight, he told me about he church, and other things. I have to admit I enjoyed myself. Pastor Pimpin took me home, we said our goodbyes, and that was it. I thought to myself now that wasn't so bad. Maybe, just maybe I was too hard on him.... until I got a phone call from him. Sigh. Pastor Pimpin' called and asked
PP: "hey what are you doing?"
ME: "nothing much sitting here reading a book."
PP: "You know it would have been nice of you to invite me in."
ME: "Ummm... why would I have invited you in?"
PP: "You know we could have watched some movies or something."
ME: "I don't really have men in my apartment like."
PP: "But I am not just any man."
ME: "But you are a man."
PP: "You know I wouldn't try anything, I just thought it would have been nice to spend more time with you."
ME: "Well, maybe next time. But, I am about to do some cleaning, I will talk to you later."
See Pastor Pimpin just had to mess it up...lol.

Pastor Pimpin recently sent me a message on Facebook, asking if I could help him with some ideas for his church. Sigh. I agreed. Pray for me ya'll!
