My Routine Check-In

It's been a minute, but not for any particular reason.
I could say I've been busy but that's a lie.
I could say I forgot about you  . . . .that's another lie.
I've just been a shitty blogger. Point blank period.

I'll put blog writing back on my list of "Things To Do". That's the only way things get done around these parts.

So let me tell you what I have been doing:
  • Not updating my blog;
  • Trying to be a superstar at work;
  • Giving valuable time to work;
  • Being too DAMN nice to people; &
  • Trying to meet new and worthwhile people.
Out of the above list, the majority have been epic fails (excluding the work items). What a way to spend 2011, right? I've got to do better.

I meet some people but only a few who I would like to continue relationships with. The two ladies I have met are cool as al get out. I could definitely see having a rock star night with them. Of all the guys I have met, only one seems cool enough for me to keep his number. He's been looking out for me since I moved down here. Nothing more than offering advice and a listening ear. But damn, I couldn't imagine if he hadn't of been there to offer that much.


DATING SUCKS!!!!!
Why didn't anybody tell me it was going to be so lonely here?!?!?!?
Being lonely is EXTREMELY dangerous. Sometimes I look around and say, "Baby, this is not you! STOP IT." Maybe I did make a dumb decision to leave him behind. Temptation can be one hell of a beast. Especially during the cold seasons. See, my coworker warned me about that. He said "CUFFING" season is about to start. You need to get your team so you will be okay during the fall and winter. My reply is easier said then done.

I don't think I ask for too much. I really don't. Honest and good times. That's it.
If we're "just friends" then let's do that. We can hangout, catch a flick, go dancing. No problem. If you want to be more than friends then say that upfront. Maybe I just haven't had much experience with guys because the dudes down here say they want to be friends and then push up on ya like you're their only boo. Now, there isn't anything entirely wrong with that except . . . .we both know you have boos. So do you and let me do me. Whatever, that's a whole new entry.

MAKE THAT MONEY HONEY!!!!
So work is cool. I'm working on my promotion. Wish me luck and watch me work. :-) Throughout the year I have been giving my 110%. I feel stupid because I always tried to follow the rules. Dummy me. People don't do that anymore. Hopefully someone acknowledges me for what I have done and tied to accomplish.

FRIENDS . . .BUT MAKING ENEMIES IS EASIER
I've thrown embarrassment and fear out the window. Hell I had to if I didn't want to sit in this house for another year by my damn self. Sitting alone for too long makes the voices get louder. LOL

So I've attended happy hour...by myself.

Went on a dinner cruise . . .by myself.

I'm going to a play, FELA (so excited)....by myself.

I would go clubbing by myself but I'm not to sure how that will end. The last time I went out some guy asked me where I dance because he would like to come see me. Took me a quick minute to process that one.

I've gone to single meetups but the attendees are always older than me. The women give me that eye. As in, why are you here distracting the men from my age range? I guess guess guys in my age bracket go to the club and I have to be satisfied with what I fins in there. NO, NO, NO! If that's the case, I'm doomed.

I'm going back to the online dating. Not that I found anything amazing over there.

Finish Line Reached.
I think we're all caught up for now. I'll be back much sooner than later. Maybe I'll just tell you about my commutes to work. Those are always interesting.  So let me leave you with a last little tid bit.

 On Friday I caught the train to work like I usually do. In the process of trying to sit down the train started moving and I almost fail head first into some man's crotch. It was cool though 'cause he was cute and ready to catch me. I thought it was funny.

In The Morning

Gone but not forgotten. I was still in the process of trying to find myself. I've been juggling a new job, new city, new housemates, and a new found me. I must say, things have been working out fairly well. A couple of blips but okay for the most part. Ahhh.... no complaints. Since I've been down here I've been consumed with this culture and I'm loving it.

Like, can I get an hour to talk to Wale? So serious. But not on some groupie -ish. Just to have a meeting of the minds.


I think this man in pretty damn wise and he is truly doing his thing in D.C. Any man who can deliver well thought ideas/verse while still portraying to be rough around the edges is some kind of sexy. I love hearing this man's voice and interpreting what he's saying.


And then there are the men. My first love!!!! Suits and locs ...Yesssss!!!!! A man who is about his business while staying true to himself. I'll support you in your endeavours forever honey.

I also like the music. I always loved B-More club (RIP DJ K-SWIFT) but GOGO isn't so bad either. If I hear UCB's "Sexy Lady", I'm autmoatically put in the zone.

I'm still working on finding authentic D.C. food. I've been to "Ben's Chilly Bowl" but I didn't get to order. Since it's good enough for POTUS, then it's good enough for me. So I'll get there eventually.


Quick Side Note: While down here I've explored the scenery. Not much though. Just enough to get my feet wet. From what I'vee seen, the answer is YES number 10, you can. ;-)
