PIECES OF A BLACKMAN

5.9.13 (random list of thoughts)

• I haven’t done a list in a long time.
• Crazy how fast this year is going already.
• It just felt like it was 2012, and now we’re almost halfway through 2013.
• I’m taking a break from practicing on this guitar, and browsing the web, and listening to music.
• Listening to Prince’s Gold Experience LP, and “Eye Hate U” is on right now,
• I love that song.
• Growing up I thought Prince’s “Gold” music video was the greatest thing ever… I still do LOL.
• All that gold glitter made that video cool!
• I’m back on twitter again… I think.  My twitter is @somecallmeToine Follow me if you’re interested in my boring life.
• I was hooked on twitter around 2009/2010, and then stopped using it.
• Twitter was great when I first got on it, and I met so many cool people, it’s pretty much how I survived when I first moved to Dallas.
• I was going through my old tweets from then, and damn I’ve grown up a lot since then. I’m so glad i’m not like that anymore.
• It’s 2:49 already, and I still haven’t eaten breakfast or lunch, or even left the house!
• I might go get some Chinese food at this little spot down the street.
• I had a dream about Andy Allo again, and this time Blu was in it.
• From what I remember in this dream, I was hanging out with Blu most of the time, and Andy made an appearance.
• I’ve been sippin’ on a Cayman Jack Margarita while typing this.
• I like it… and it taste and has a feel of a margarita, but in a bottle.
• I actually just learned about it last night, when going to the beer store last night.  
• Lately, I’ve been drinking more casually than before… I think I was influenced by my last gf.
• I was never much of a drinker before last year, and would maybe drink once or twice a year (even went like 5 years without drinking anything with alcohol), but when me and her would go out, we would always try different drinks, which now has become a part of my routine when going out to eat.
• I drink to relax, never really to get drunk, though I have let lose and got drunk a few times, but I’m pretty good.
• I dig red wine, and it helps me sleep.
• When I do buy alcohol I rarely get carded these days…
• It’s a little sad, because I remember back when I use to get carded just going to a rated R film.
• I’ll be 28 in a couple weeks…
• It’s bittersweet… I’ll soon be two years away from 30.
• Speaking of Birthdays, I just found out my oldest brother was born in 1974, and not 1975 like I thought for all these years!
• My parents lied to me telling me he was 10 years older than me, and the other day I was looking for my birth certificate, and found his and it said September 12,  19 muthafuckin 74!
• I confronted my mom about it, and she was shocked that I had found out about it lol.
• She never gave me a reason why they said he was born in 1975 all these years…. But I think I know why.
• My Girlfriend and I broke up.
• It was a couple months ago though.
• I honestly don’t know why I’m bringing it up, because I don’t think I ever mentioned any of the 6 months we were dating.
• I thought I’d be sad about the break up, but It didn’t really phase me much.
• I never really thought much about the relationship since the break up.
• We dated three different times, and that will be the last time, so that chapter has definitely been closed.
• I don’t understand why people care about Jay-Z and Beyonce or Kanye and Kim’s baby.
• I honestly don’t give a shit about them or their babies, or any other celebrity relationships.
• My guitar teacher asked me if I was a religious man a couple weeks ago, because I never curse during guitar lessons haha!
• I told him I’m not religious, and I do curse, but around elders I don’t curse.
• I saw Shabazz Palace’s last thursday, and I definitely needed that.
• I don’t go to as many shows as I use to, and this was my first show since late March/early April.
• I went alone, but wound up running into a lot of homies I hadn’t seen in a while, and even made some new “friends”.
• I really need some new friends, because the people I associate with don’t like doing jack.
• I’ve been thinking of joining a couple groups on Meetup.com, hopefully to find some cool and adventurous people.
• It don’t matter the race, ethnicity, sex, age, or whatever, if you’re cool and like doing different things, I’m cool down.
• I’ve realized over the years most niggas don’t like doing shit, and limiting myself to only hanging with them has limited so much.
• It’s so hard meeting new people when you get to your late 20s.
• I want travel and do a lot of different things, but for whatever reason when I put the idea out to the people I’m around they show no interest.
• I dig people who are spontaneous. 
• I’m working on a trip to either DC, San Francisco, LA, or Atlanta this summer.
• I met a new girl, she’s pretty cool… I like her.
• She’s been teaching me the Amharic language.
• I call her Konjo… which in Amharic means “Beautiful”.
• She just text me.
