Just....Sigh....
Alright! So, the last few weeks, my life has been a swirl of tomfoolery, ballywho, blessings and of course, Hi-jinx. In order to give you the full gamut of my world, I will break things up into categories...
- Housing: So, two weeks ago, I’m in my apartment, twisting my hair, watching desperate housewives and getting ready for the upcoming week. All of a sudden, I hear the dude who lives upstairs come flying down the stairs and he is cussing and screaming. I let out a sigh, and turn up my television. Now, as a sidebar, my reaction to this scene should let you know that this type of behavior is nothing new. So I’m chillen, and all of a sudden, I hear, “well get out the car then...” So, I feel like this might be more then your average situation. So I go to my bedroom, look out of window and I see my neighbor all in the car window of some man who is just trying to park his car on the street. Suddenly, my neighbor opens the guys car door, pulls him out of the car and starts fighting him in the street! The guy gets on his feet and is about a foot taller then my neighbor and gets him in a headlock and is like “what is this? Are you serious? You need to stop!” So my neighbor gets out of the headlock, runs to his car and pulls out some sort of weapon. It was too dark for me to see what it was, but the guy threw his hands in the air in surrender, dove into his car and drove the hell off, driver’s side door open and everything. It was a mess!!! So right afterwards, Crazy goes over to my other neighbors apartment and knocks on his door and says “I know you saw what happened, but I wanted us to get our story straight before the police come...” what? All of my other neighbors were home and we were all on the phone with each other like... did this really happen? So, the crazy man who lives upstairs has taken it a little too far and I really don’t know what it is about me and living with or near crazy people, but I am moving to Oakland where it’s safe....
- Business: So, it’s Friday, and I’m at work, settling in, logging onto my email. I have zero messages. That’s weird because I haven’t checked my email in a day and a half, but whatever charge it to the game. So I log onto my website and some picture of rolling green hills and flowers pops up, what?!@! So I log onto Yahoo and find out that the domain name on my site expired, so they just pulled the switch on my whole operation. No website, no blogs, no email, no life. So I call Yahoo, and they tell me that they have no idea what is going on. So they tell me to call another company that I apparently bought my domain name from. So I call them, wait on hold for half an hour to be told that some other company holds the domain name and I have to email them....okay...I DON”T HAVE EMAIL!!!!!!!! So I had to open up a gmail account, email the other company, and renew my domain name. Let me just state for the record, that technology is not the business. I’ve decided that I am going to revolutionize the entire writing industry and write my next book by hand. Just have 5 or 6 composition notebooks wrapped together with a rubberband and go to Kinko’s and have people make copies if they want to read it! Bump all that! I am so over technology! That’s right! I said it!!!
- Men: Yeah, I still don’t know why they exist, but whatever. My single in 07 campaign is going strong. It has only been a month and a half and I have already made a major career move, upgraded both my living and transportation situations and been overall a very productive human being. I think being single and unavailable suits me.
So, to sum it all up, my life right now is really hectic, but God keeps blessing me, so I can’t really complain. I’m moving into my new, Much safer, apartment on Thursday, my website is back up and running and my blogs have been restored. I know now more than ever never to trust technology and I will continue to be the same old G. Until next time...
Peace Y’all
