Missed You

I’m back! I don’t know if you all missed me, but I missed you. I took the week off from my desk job and I find it to be very difficult to blog from home.

I have had a series of random thoughts this week. I hope to discuss some of them in depth, but here is a brief overview of last week.

1.       Eddie Murphy has pulled a reverse Michael Jackson. The richer he got the bigger his nose got. How does that happen? It almost looks like a different face now. I think it started happening right around “The Distinguished Gentleman” days.

2.       When did I become an emotional eater? It is like a vicious cycle. I am upset and depressed because of I haven’t lost the baby weight. I eat because I am upset and don’t really want to deal with it, which makes it even harder to lose the weight.

3.       I have started watching way too much television. My DVR was at 88% this Friday. I got it down to 72%, but One Life to Live is 3% per episode.

4.       Remember when all you had to do was buy a television, bring it home, pull it in and turn it on. I wish someone would have tried to charge my grandparents $200 a month to watch television.

5.       I still remember the first time that I realized television went off at night. I was so disappointed.

6.       I don’t trust married people who only hang out with married people and/or who seriously consider their spouse to be their best friend. I love Husband and he is always my first choice to share things with, but the reason he is not my best friend is because he is my best trouble and I vent to him about him. Yes, I understand you have to be careful who you share with because if you tell your mom she will never forgive and forget, but a friend will understand when you fight and support when you make up. If you don’t have a friend like this and your spouse is your only outlet, get help NOW!

7.       Is it a vacation if you have spent the entire day cleaning your house?

8.       I saw part of the Hip Hop Awards and let me just say that LL made me proud to be from Queens. Lecrae made me proud to be a Christian. Busta Rhymes made me proud to proud to be full of anti-establishment righteous indignation, but the rest of what I saw made me want to give in my “Black Card”. I am so tired of ignorant, butt-out, monkey see monkey do nonsense. It just makes me furious. So I left the room. I just hope it got better than what was going on when I left. (Do it. Do it. Boy. Boy. Boy) I mean, REALLY?

9.       Why was Chris Brown better in the cypher than the 3 rap “stars” that went before him? I don’t care if he wrote his 6 months in advance. The others did not sound spontaneous either. Next time step your game up and practice before the R&B singer embarrasses you.

10.   It is never ok to bring a pre-written rhyme into a cypher. Never!!!
