August 31, 2010: HAMBURGER PHONE!

Location: Newport News, Virginia

Time: 5:30 p.m.

Description: I watched Juno, today, and I must say, it was one of the most beautifully put together films I have ever witnessed. I expected comedy all the way throughout, what with Michael Cera at the reigns. But this story brings you in with it's witty dialogue and colorful characters, and then keeps you with it's embedded message of human morality and decency. I appreciate movies that have action and a good plot, but more appreciate those films that portray real life in a way that one can relate on multiple levels. And Juno does that. Check it out if you haven't seen it.

August 30, 2010: Lemon Pepper TILAPIA!

Location: Newport News, Virginia

Time: 10:10 p.m.

Description: This is step one of something I call "Kaiserlapia!" I took a frozen Tilapia fillet and seasoned it with Lemon Pepper and Vegetable Seasoning while searing it with Olive Oil on both sides. I also added some fresh onions to taste. Once fully thawed and seasoned, I spatula'd them onto a Kaiser Roll. I added a dollop of vidalia onion vinaigrette and a slice of real american cheese, and TO' THAT BAD BOY UP! (no homo).

August 29, 2010: RAIDJO!

Location: Newport News, Virginia

Time: 10:20 p.m.

Description: Pastor Das asked me to help him with a recording for something he's doing. This reminded me of my idea of doing a show on Blogtalk Radio like my homeboy JeMaul. I do need a USB Condenser Microphone, though. I'd hate to use my laptop's microphone and get all that extra sound when I'm talking. It would be an earsore (the ear equivalent of an eyesore). Project M.I.C.A.H. should be coming soon.

M: Music, differnt genres and their influences

I: Innovations in technology, art and design

C: Christ, the center of all things

A: American politics and international relations

H: Humor, cuz life be funny sumtiymez, yo.

August 28, 2010: CORBIN DALLAS MULTI-PASS.

Location: Newport News, Virginia

Time: 7:10 p.m.

Description: Bruce Willis is one of my favorite actors, and one of my favorite movies with him in it was on today. The Fifth Element was on today when I got home from work. I have respect for actors who do well with their roles in movies.

August 27, 2010: ME = REAL.

Location: Newport News, Virginia

Time: 11:20 p.m.

Description: I'm me. And I'm determined. But that means nothing if I have nothing to strive for. It's time to stop being a baby and move on into the real world. No more playing, no more jokes all the time. Time to take initiative. Goals have never gotten me anywhere, so no more goals.

No should.

ALL DO.

Humor is my blessing and my curse, but it is not my destiny.

And whatever I do, it will be unto the Glory of God and His Kingdom.

From today on, I am a different person.

To get where I need to be, I will do what I have to do.

This started when my Dad and I talked about what my long term goals were.

I'm in my prime and it's time I optimize my time.

Optimus Prime.

Haha.

Okay, so maybe a little humor is in order.

Now let's move on.

August 26, 2010: YES WE....UH......

Location: Hampton, Virginia

Time: 9:20 p.m.

Description: I saw this on the back of someones truck, and I thought about the thoughts I have on Obama and his term this far. First off, I'm happy we have a black president, but I strongly disagree with the morals his party has embraced, including abortion, same-sex marriage and stem-cell research. I think that America was too tied up on the fact that a different race was running for president, that we didn't look at how tough the issues he would face would be. Screams of "YES WE CAN!" and "CHANGE!"muffled whispers of "National Debt in the trillions" and "We owe China". So it's safe to say that he has a lot on his plate, but the time must come soon when the Nation requires answers. As far as the debt, Bush left it in a butt crack state, but the Democrats and their lobbyists all had charts of how Obama would have it cut in half by NOW. Second term? Maybe, but it's important that the country truly focuses on political prowess and not just catchy hoodies.

August 25, 2010: A nickel saved.....

Location: Newport News, Virginia

Time: 11:40 p.m.

Description: I'm gonna save money in this jar until it's full and the take it to the nearest Coinstar. Then I'm going to get one of those big bottles from back in the day and fill that up. Yep. one of those clear 20 gallon jugs. Why? Because I always find change EVERYWHERE.

August 24, 2010: It's S-X-E.

Location: Newport News, Virginia

Time: 11:10 p.m.

Description: This is Phillip DeFranco. He is a Youtube Partner and Web Celebrity because of Youtube.I watch his show a lot, not necessarily because of how funny he is or because of how many subscribers he has, but more the contents of his show. I thought about starting a Youtube show, but I have no time. In his show he takes the news and gives his thoughts on several subjects. If I had a show, and a large Youtube following, I'd probably do the same thing.

August 23, 2010: It's not called department training, it's called department MASTERY!!!

Location: Newport News, Virginia

Time: 5:30 p.m.

Description: Wish I had more time to take a better picture, but I was in a rush to get this ticket to the COS podium. TODAY WAS NOICE! This is my first sign-up for a Plus Membership as a front-end associate! It was my first day, and I got 2 of these! Plus Memberships cost $100, so I did my best to sell them to members that wanted to save money. As far as the Membership Desk, I learned a lot today. I really got a lot of help from Tieara, Kyle, Monique, Nancy and Annie. The job isn't difficult, it's just a lot to remember. I like what I'm doing though, and I plan to MASTER it.

Location: Newport News, Virginia

Time: 9:00 p.m.

Description: Ah, Grocery. Today was my last day gracing your aisles, finding shirts in your freezers, and dealing with people who are confused by you. I now take on a much better challenge and promotion. I dedicated 2 1/2 years to you and if you have taught me anything, you taught me that it is important to know your department, be nice to people even if they are a (EXPLETIVE) to you, and most importantly.....................................SUGAR IS ON AISLE 16!!!

August 17, 2010: SUSHI!!!

Location: Newport News, Virginia

Time: 12:30 p.m

Description: My friend Rob bought a sushi tray from my store a few weeks back, and let me try a piece. I don't think I had ever tried sushi before, but it was really good, so I bought one today. I really thought I was up for it, but I could only eat four before I returned it. It wasn't bad or anything. I just couldn't hang. Got full in like a second. LOL Delicious, tho!

August 16, 2010: UH WELL WE'RE MOVIN ON UPPPP!!!!!!!!!

Location: Newport News, Virginia

Time: 8:40 p.m.

Description: This is my new 15-page instruction manual. I'm moving from the Grocery Department to the Membership Desk. I have to learn this just to be ready for that front desk. I am focused on getting this learned. I will not waver. I will not fail. I will work hard for this 20 cent raise. LOL

August 15, 2010: "That made my life!"

Location: Newport News, Virginia

Time:12:10 a.m.

Description: I LOVE JADE! I know in my heart that I will be best friends with this girl till the casket drops! She is like one of my favorite people in the universe. She's one of the few females I know who will always keep it 100 with me, and I love her for it! She cracks me up, and we really click because we're opposites. I'm the calm, collected, laid back brown skin, and she's the energetic, "hol' up!" inquisitive, loving light skin! We're two peas in a pod and I love it! Love you bestie!

August 14, 2010: BLASPHEMOUS CONTRADICTIONS!!!

Location: Newport News, Virginia

Time: 5:20 p.m.

Description: I HATE THAT STUPID ADVERTISEMENT BAR ON FACEBOOK! ESPECIALLY WHEN I SEE FOOLISHNESS LIKE THIS! It might as well say "Lusting after the girl next door? Come and divulge in your favorite sin on our website!!!" This doesn't hold a candle when I saw the ad up there that said (and I promise this is what it said, no lie) "Find Hot Busty Christian Girls in your area today!" SMH

August 13, 2010: FRIDAY THE WORSTEENTH!!!

Location: Newport News, Virginia

Time: 5:40 p.m.

Description: Today at my job, I was given the opportunity to learn the ins and outs of selling Sam's Club Member Credit, as part of my training. I am going from the Grocery Department to the Membership Desk in a week, so I need all the training I can get (yay for the raise I get!).And I know it's Credit, so people usually stay away, but I can honestly say, I have never felt SO REJECTED IN MY LIFE. It was never even this bad when I witnessed to people. I mean all the smirks, mean-mugs and stink faces you can imagine, as person after person rejects what I'm offering. It reminds me that in these last days, this is how it will be before the end. I just have to be ready. Thank God, this was only to help train me and not the job I'll be doing. I would be so depressed!

August 12, 2010: Jesus loves the little children.....

Location: Newport News, Virginia

Time: 10:10 p.m.

Description: My mommy keeps this picture of me when I was 4 months old in a chest near her room door. She found it while going through some of her things in the house. I obviously LOVE IT! It shows my obvious innocence and dashing cuteness. I think I just look as fresh as I wanna be!

August 11, 2010: SHAGALICIOUS!

Location: Newport News, Virginia

Time: 8:00 p.m.

Description: @work, I like to show stuff at my store that I find interesting, and it just makes me wonder what the company was thinking when they gave the product this name. Yeah, this one's up for interpretation. Good luck! :-)

August 10, 2010: Hair cont'd!

Location: Newport News, Virginia

Time: 11:40 p.m.

Description: This was after my haircut the other day. You can actually contrast it with the other picture, and see what I'm talking about. When I was younger, I always wanted to be on one of those posters or in one of those magazines that have numbers by hair styles that the barbers let you choose from. It was a dream. SCRATCH THAT. It still is a dream LOL

August 9, 2010: Piece of CRAP Wireless

Location: Newport News, Virginia

Time: 11:40 p.m.

Description: So I guess I'm stuck with this phone from Piece of Crap Wireless (Virgin Mobile) until my phone upgrade in October, where I will be going for the EVO. I guess it's not that bad, seeing as how it kind of teaches me that I don't need the most expensive phone available. No touch screen or super big multimedia capabilities, but it does text, call and "surf the web". Maybe this won't be so bad.....maybe.

August 8, 2010: MY FIRST BIBLE!

Location: Newport News, Virginia

Time: 11:00 p.m.

Description: This "My First Bible" has been in my possession for many many many many many years! My Mom bought it for me when I was four and I loved it! Vibrant colors, sight words, and cute animations make this the perfect start for any child you want to learn the word of God. It's still in great condition after all these years!

August 7, 2010: ANDROID!

Location: Newport News, Virginia

Time: 11:50 p.m.

Description: I am seriously debating buying this shirt just because I love the whole Android Operating System over Apple. In things like wars between companies, Android is the up and coming underdog. As far as apps, with Apple, you have to download them from iTunes and they are all iTunes apps. With Android, any developer can make an app, and you can download them right then and there! GO ANDROID!

August 6, 2010: WIX!!!

Location: Newport News, Virginia

Time: 11:30 p.m

Description: If you ever wanted to make a professional website, and you didn't know how, you need to go to Wix.com. I truly believe, it's so easy, my 11 year old brother could make a professional website with it! It's that easy! I used it in my Web Design class at NSU and got a 100 Honors A on a website I made in one week. My teacher said it was not perfect but definitely professional work. Try it today! It's really a lot of fun!

Location: Hampton, Virginia

Time: 5:00 p.m.

Description: What-a-burger, eat your freaking heart out. I went with my friend Sherwood to help him find a job, and we stopped in the Coliseum Shopping Center. My Dad told me about how great this place was, and so I had to try.

MAKE NO MISTAKE, FIVE GUYS HAS THE BEST BURGERS IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSE. I'M SERIOUS. THE BEEF WAS TOUCHED AND BLESSED BY OUR CREATOR.

Never have I witnessed such a medley of delicious flavors and aromas in my life!

August 4, 2010: I AM NOT MY HAIR!!!

Location: Newport News, Virginia

Time: 11:00 p.m.

Description: I really love my hair, and I'm getting it cut tomorrow. I think about the pros and cons of letting my hair grow.

-Keeps my head warm in cold temperatures.

-Absorbs sweat.

-Cushions my head if I ever hit it.

-Feels comfy, like a pillow.

- Cheaper to let it grow.

CONS:

-Looks better if I get a cut for grooming purposes.

-Is ALWAYS unruly, no matter what I use to groom it.

-Can become itchy.

-Gets nappy overnight.

-Doesn't bring out my waves.

August 3, 2010: TICKTON! LAW!

Location:Newport News, Virginia

Time: 11:40 p.m.

Description: I was working on cleaning my room, and I passed over this notebook with my papers from the most difficult class in the major of Mass Communications at NSU: MASS COM LAW. Dr. Tickton is no joke, and I thought I was going to get an easy A in the class because my Dad had him when he went to NSU. BOY WAS I WRONG, AND I PASSED BY THE SKIN OF MY TEETH (THANK YOU, JESUS). The class is not exactly hard in material, but very work intensive. Scooter will tell you. Dominique will tell you. The class is a mother. Mass Com heads, BEWARE. (Yes, that's a D and I worked hard for it!)

August 2, 2010: ANGEL SCHMANGEL!

Location: Newport News, Virginia

Time: 10:40 p.m.

Description: I STRONGLY DISLIKE THESE LITTLE STATUES. I DON'T KNOW WHY. I JUST DON'T LIKE THEM. TO ME THEY ARE CREEPY. YES, I KNOW, THIS ONE IS AN ANGEL. BUT EVERYWHERE I GO I SEE THESE STATUE THINGS AND I CRINGE! MAYBE ITS WHAT THEY'RE MADE OF, OR MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE THEY LOOK LIKE LITTLE CREEPY PEOPLE, BUT I CAN'T STAND THEM! lol
