Keep It Down.

The title of this blog is brought to you by one of my favorite songs off of the album Tasty, from Kelis.

So far, this month has been filled with work. I have been working pretty much 6 days a week and I have barely had enough time to clean my room. Going from having 3 days off a week to just one day off a week is kind of taking its toll on me. My patience is very short and I really don't feel like entertaining anybody's shit right now. This blog can get really long because I have a lot to say...so I will bullet some items to make this a smoother process.

*Money. I am on greed status, so I will continue to work my ass off thru September.

* Friends that act brand new: If you don't have time for me now, then I will fall back and make sure not to include you in what I do. If you decide to have time for me again, I still will most likely not include you in anything. I used to have this friend who would always act like he had no friends when he was involved with somebody else and would show up when they were having problems or when he was single. I cut him off because I didn't need fair-weather friends.

Flash forward to now, and another one of my friends is following in my previous friends footsteps. Men like that are usually weak minded/needy and for some odd reason lose site of their friends and surrender themselves to who they are with. Its like this new person is some sort of savior.

Fool me once, but not again. I aint got time for that shit.

*Im still single, but I have been spending my nights for the last month on the phone with somebody I like. Not sure how to take it because there are so many negative variables. However, I have been very honest with this individual and he knows that I am not looking for a relationship. He is very sweet and adorable...a shorty too. I got mad love for the shorties. ;)

*One thing I don't believe I have shared before is that I recently saw a specialist for ADD. So, what I have always known is true...I have ADD. I am now taking the proper steps to dealing with it in a more effective way.

*I went to a ball yesterday and brought Jesse (the girl I took pics of with the blonde hair) with me. She took a look around and looked at me...paused..and said, "Mikey...you don't fit in. What are you doing here?" I laughed it off, but she was right. It is time to leave that behind me as well. I judged and once my duties were done, I left and felt very confused. Honestly, I have no business being in that scene anymore. I am loyal to my House so if I ever make it to NYC, I will rethink my decision, but for now, it stands.

*I have some trips laid out,
September: Atlanta.
October: Virgina.
November: New Orleans.

I have a lot more to say but I am bored of typing already. Maybe its my ADD...lol

These are some pics from the ball and also some pics of a dinner date that 3 lovely coworkers and I had a few weeks ago.













Thanks for getting this far.

So It's August...

And...I ended up getting the job that I applied for awhile back. This is my third week going into that job and I am still in awe that I got it. Not because I am getting paid a shit load more or that it is going to make my resume look amazing...but because this is what I have been planning for the past two years. I have been a career gypsy since I started my employment history and when I left my previous job (the worst job EVER) I told myself that the next job I get will be different. I was going to get a job that allowed room for growth, and I was going to take any opportunity I could get. That is exactly what I have done. This is the second position I have gotten here and also the job I wanted the day I figured out this position even existed.

It is not the best position nor the job of my dreams, but it is the job I wanted and I am proud of myself right now. It wasn't easy and its not going to get any easier but it is an accomplishment. With this new position comes a lot of change. Its also a different schedule and different location. No longer am I close to the trendy shops that made it (too) easy to spend my money. I am in the middle of nowhere with nothing to do but my job. Its whatever...I need this. Its focus time.

Well...after I splurge for a bit. I need a little bit of Marc Jacob's in my life.

Speaking of which...I am going to switch up my style again. I cant look like this anymore. All of these fun clothes have to go...I feel like a damn eyesore.

More serious clothes...not too serious...but some serious elements. I always play with fashion and last year and made it look fun. But now its time for winter couture! Grrrrr

lol ok..enough. Im getting ahead of myself...I dont even have money for half of that shit...lol

I may have another photo shoot this weekend. Cross them fingers!
