I'm just saying; Volume 3
Glamour Magazine’s Latest Sensation
Okay, so a few months ago, my girl Jill and I were walking down the street and we were stopped by this girl who said she worked for Glamour Magazine. So anyway, she interviewed us and took our pictures and left it at that. About a month and a half later, I received an email from Glamour asking me about the meanest thing I have ever done. I thought about and I have never done anything overtly mean before, so me being the creative genius I am, made up a story. After a few email and fax exchanges, I didn’t think anything about it. So yesterday, I was in the grocery store and saw the September issue of Glamour staring at me from the shelf. I grabbed it and shifted through 7000 mascara Prada bag advertisements and didn’t see my picture. So I bought the magazine and gave it a good going through when I got home. I still didn’t see it. A part of me was irritated because I was lightweight amped to be in this magazine, but a part of me was relieved because the story I made up was completely untrue, and really quite mean when you think about it. LOL! So I was flipping through the magazine once again, just looking at the varying types of mascara ( I mean who knew) and lo and behold on the bottom of the page, is my smiling face and my completely fabricated story. LOL!!!!!!! I’m not sure how I feel about it, but it is cool to say that I was interviewed for Glamour Magazine and that I have officially broken into the magazine world! They are not ready!!! LOL!!. Holler at the September Issue, page 246, and no the story is not true! LOL!!!
The Bay Area…
Listen. I love the bay, I really do. But all of this schizophrenic weather?! I can’t take it! Even the trees are confused thinking its fall, changing colors and dropping leaves everywhere! ITS AUGUST!!!!!!!! It should not be 24 degrees outside in the sunshine. If this is an indication of what winter is going to be like, I’m moving! Y’all don’t know me!!! I did that whole coldest winter ever thing and I’m cool! I’ll move to Hawaii or something…fly south for the winter. Don’t play me! Lets warm it up out here bay, okay…lets ixnay all of the fog and winter gloom and save that for the appropriate months…kay? Thanks!
Skip- Bo
Anyone who truly knows me, knows that I am extremely competitive about two things. Cal football (GO BEARS) and card games. So this weekend we had students come up from southern California for a program we were having and any time you have 40 black people and some down time, its either going to be cards or domino’s. We had both. So all weekend, I was killen’ em with the Gin Rummy and J Stunnas could not see me on the speed! I was going. So the students broke out another deck of cards that I immediately thought was UNO, another great classic of which I am THE REMAINING PARKER STREET CHAMPION…THANK YOU…(sorry, I had to bang on people who don’t remember the statistics…I told you I was competitive! LOL!). Anyway, this particular game was called Skip-Bo and it is so much fun! It’s a little more complicated then UNO, but just as fun! I’d never even heard of the game, but man was it fun! I’m all about it!! So, a big shout out to my EB students who hipped me to the game!
Peace y’all!
