After a great weekend in Atlanta. Every time I go I get reassurance that I need to move there...or move somewhere. Anywhere but here! Nope, I will not make this entry about how I hate it in Greenville. I talk about that way too much so I will just chill on that.
Instead, allow me to reminisce on the little things that made my weekend a lot of fun.
-Finding $5 parking when I was expecting to pay $20.
-Sitting right across the isle from Jilly at the concert.
-Forgetting my deodorant but still having a good ass time in the hot ass club.
-Enjoying an Icee on Auburn with 50million black people around.
-Getting lost on the train but getting a glimpse at 'Soulja Girl'......i think.
-Toquitos and Vanilla/Cherry Pepsi from the QT.
-Eating that shit with someone I really care about.
-2 movies for the price of 1.
-Piedmont Park on a beautiful Sunday.
-Conversations with someone special all the way home.
And that was my weekend. Pretty much. Good Times!
in other news....I am afraid that my mom may be making a financial mistake. but at the same time, I dont know if it is my place to really discourage what she is about to do. I mean, she is a grown woman. She knows what she is doing!
So anybody that knows me knows that I don't ever make any big financial decisions on a whim. I am all about the budget and I encourage all my friends to be about it also. You wanna get a new car, do the numbers and see if what you bring in can handle another expenditure. It is amazing to me how many people don't do this. Living life unconsciously, they just spend without regard to the bigger picture.
Anyway, mom is about to move in this new apartment but I am just concerned if she will be able to handle the monthly for the apt and the money she spends out monthly for her new car. I am real scared for her but then there is a part of me that says she is a grown woman who has lived life longer than me so i assume she knows what she can and cannot handle. The reason i think i worry is because I have already had to move in with her before and take over the bill because she was about to get evicted and I am not willing to go there again. I am about to move!

How My Life Is Going
This morning I had to go to the county tax office to pay my car taxes and as I pulled out of the parking lot of my place of employment, the sun was on my face and I just felt good. Sure my seat is broken and I suspect the people at the ford dealership did it in an attempt to make me pay the $800 they said it would cost them to fix it(suckers!!! I got one at the junk yard for $125!!) and yup, I missed the deadline to pay for an extended warranty on my lap top which means I gotta be extra careful with my baby until I can come up with a plan b, but I feel good. I feel Good today.
First off I feel good because even tho I got to pay for my seat and I had to pay those taxes, it's cool cause my back account is on swoll. I have been aggressively saving for my move and it feels good to have the money to do the things that i need t do. I swar i was tired of living chech to check and even tho I am still not where I want to be, thank G-d I am not where I used to be.
I also feel good because I took THE TEST the other day and I failed. I was scared as a mug because last year i did some dumb stuff and I just knew it was gonna get me. But I am cool and that is great and i swear form now on, i am extra careful.
I feel good because i really feel better about the person that I am becoming. I really dont give a fuck about who knows that I am gay. I finally understand all that jazz that I have been talking for a while about living in the truth. I cant help but wonder if the fact hat I have been absent from church for about a good 5 moths has anything to do with my position? I just feel like all the noise is gone and I can finally hear G-d.
And I am happy that I am on the road to a meaningful relationship. Sure, Shanen has some issues that worry me but who doesn't. I got issues too but maybe we can walk them, out together.
anyway, a brother is happy today. I hope this feeling last for at least the rest of the week.

some things
I really need to finish my short story. I am halfway through but it seems that I have met some sort of block. I just bought that computer thinking that it would motivate me to write more but instead I have been playing around on the dayum internet. I was off this weekend and the plan was to hold up in the house and finally finish this story. Did that happen?......NO! Instead I wasted most of the weekend doing a whole lot of nothing. Saturday night I really did try to do some work but the most I got done was one sentence and some editing. This shit has to be turned in by May 15 and right now I am walking around as if I have nothing to do. I must have this done by the weekend!
So after all this planning and stuff, this dude is talking about he is about to move back to VA, save some money, then move back to ATL. Shit makes absolutely no sense to me and I have told him this. He says that I am being unfair. I told him that if he moves back to VA, he will not be coming back to ATL therefore I will be moving to NYC.
That's right folks, NYC. After much thought and many conversations with friends I have decided that NYC will most likely be my next place of residence. ATL is still the other choice but i would rather do NYC. I know this will make some friends of mine upset but it is what it is. This is not just a move.....this is my life!
