Money Make Me Come



So I'm reading another blog that I follow and it was basically talking about getting money. My New Years resolution last year was to try to save more money and pay down my unsecured debt. I really didn't do a good job of it till the end of the year. Seeing as I didn't do a good job of really keeping my resolution, this year I'm just gonna call it a goal (I know its really the same thing). My first goal is to stop treating my money market account (MMA) like a step child and try to deposit as much money as I can each month. By this time next year I'll hopefully have enough expendable cash saved up to deposit it into a certificate of deposit (CD).




So the lesson for today is stop wasting money on frivolous shit. Its a recession.


Took quarter water sold the bottles for Two Bucks
Coco-Cola came and bought it for billions. What The Fuck?
Have A Baby By Me Baby, Been Millionaire,
I Write The Check Before The Baby Comes, Who The Fuck Cares?
I'm Stanky Rich, Im'a Die Tryna Spend This Shit,
Southside Drop In This Bitch


~50 Cent, I Get Money



Even though 50 cent is a great businessman, he'll have you believe that his funds are limitless. Like I said earlier. Its a recession. Popping bottles of champagne is dumb as fuck just about as lame as making it rain in club. So people lets be smart about our money.

Getting Old




I know in reality I'm really only beginning my life but today I feel old. The reason you ask. Its because of the guy pictured above. That's my youngest brother and today is his 18th birthday. I remember sitting in the waiting room of PG County Hospital playing hangman with my other brothers when my mom was birthing him. Now he is legally an adult. Damn. I'm that much closer to 30. I need something to make me feel younger. LOL. Before you know it I'm gonna be looking like this guy.

Sonic



There are fast food chains where I like to dine (McDonalds, Burger King, Popeyes, KFC, Taco Bell, Wendys, etc.) and there are ones that I've eaten once and will never eat again (Krystals, White Castle, Mrs. Winners, etc). Now there is one fast food restaurant that holds a special place in my heart. Sonic. I hate their food. There is really only two things I like about Sonic, a. their drinks and b. their commercials.




Anyone who knows me, knows I watch A LOT of television. I mostly DVR my TV shows so I can fast forward through commercials. Whenever I see a Sonic commercial I have to watch because they crack me up. If you haven't seen any Sonic commercials you can catch a couple here.

Potlucks




So today the Cancer Biology department at my school had our yearly holiday potluck (don't ask me why we decide to do it 3 weeks late). I like potlucks but at the same time I hate them. I got harassed by our departmental secretary about what I was going to bring. At first I wasn't going to participate but then I decided to bring in some BBQ chicken that I bought from Kroger. Now in our department only about 20 people brought in a dish but currently about 70 people are grubbing on food that they didn't participate in (mostly medical students). I would feel kind of bad about eating food at a potluck when I didn't bring any food. Either way most of food was good and I ended up eating a lot so I'm stuffed.

Tabi Bonney and Wale laid the groundwork for rappers in D.C., but Tai Slumz is definetly going to put the DMV on the map. Oh did I mentoin that he's my brother. LOL. Shout out to Slizzy Slumz and Career Crookz Entertainment. Check out his work >here<.

Watch Your Back

I'm listening to music on my laptop and its on shuffle. The Watch Your Back (Interlude) off the Ma$e Harlem World album comes on. I used to find the exchange between Ma$e and this dude funny and I still do. Mainly because I've been in a similar situation or two or three before where some girl was feeling me and her dude came at me sideways. My thing is if your girl is feeling me, then that's an issue you should be discussing with her and not me.



Ma$e: This Ma$e, what up?
Jealous Boyfriend (JB): Yo Ma$e I'ma make this short and to the point. I'm a fan of yours, you know, my kids like you, they dance to you. You know we like what's goin on wit you. All I'm sayin is don't give my girl your number no more.
Ma$e: What?
JB: Don't give my girl your number no more man
Ma$e: Who your girl B?
JB: Listen man listen. You wild easy to get son, you know what I'm saying. I've been to jail twice man and I'm not scared and I love and I want go back. You understand what I'm saying? So, don't give my girl your number no more man.
Ma$e: Come on B wit all that yo
JB: When the smoke clears man, Puff Daddy and all them niggaz you runnin with man. They ain't gonna be there man and neither will you man. So I'ma close it off like that B you know what I'm sayin.
Ma$e: Whatever B
JB: I'ma leave it like that son
Ma$e: Aight man

So dudes out there, if your girl is interested in another guy there is no point in beefing with said dude. You have two options. 1. Take up the issue with her and then step your game up because you're obviously lacking something. -or- 2. Let her go.

Under the Weather


So this morning I woke up feeling like shit. Scratchy throat, runny nose, headache. Really not cool. I know the drill. Get rest, drink fluids, etc. But I swear what works for me is going to gym and sweating it out (or drinking plenty vodka).I already went to the gym today, now all I need is some Stoli in my life. Anyway I don't get sick often. My white blood cells are soldiers. lol. On the off chance that I do get sick I'm usally better in a day or two. Hopefully by Thursday I'll be feeling better.
