November 30, 2010: I AM FREE by Kelly Wilson

Location: Newport News, Virginia
Time: 11:50 p.m.
Description: Ya'll check out my friend Kelly's skills. I have always loved, written and showcased poetry. I think It is one of the most beautiful arts.

I AM FREE
Holding the rope for you, that's what I do
My love for you is true .. But can I count on you?
You want to know what's inside , can you handle the truth?
The secrets I've held inside of me , can you be my diary? You want to see the inner me shine through.
How can I? I'm tainted.
Heart is heavy, so much to bare .. In this world and all of the cares .. Who can I run to?
Never forgetting where I come from , I hold my head high. I tuck my shoulders back ..
That first step I take, it leads to my future...
No turning back now , when I was down I lost sight.. Now I have risen , and I'm ready for the fight ..
I can't contain it ; My strength, I carry my own cross ... My vision , I see it .. It is no longer lost .. My heart, its no longer tainted . I have the power , I can endure .. This I know for sure. . .

I am free , no chains holding me . Here I am, standing tall, I look as if I was never flawed. Through it all .. I am still ME , This is not an ACT , this is who I am.

-Kelly Wilson

November 29, 2010: HAVE YOUR DESSERT AND EAT IT TOO!

Location: Newport News,Virginia
Time: 10:00 p.m.
Description: THIS IS THE BEST GUM EVER. EVUH EVUH EVUH? EVER. I love gum. I think whoever came up with the idea should get like 1 million more dollars, even though they're probably dead and filthy stinkin' rich. But, in retrospect, I think the person who came up with these Extra Dessert Delights flavors should get a billion dollars! Idk, today was a loopy day, which explains my being silly. Anyways, gum is awesome.

November 28, 2010: SUCC355?

Location: Newport News, Virginia
Time: 3:20 p.m.
  1. Description: What's funny is that the guy in the car was on his phone while driving and also bumping loud rap music . I dunno, what do you think about these dudes with their big Jesus pieces and gold grills (he had both). Is it one of those things where if you got it, flaunt it? Or is that just furthering the stereotypes set against our race and culture? I know if I had money to buy bling and grills, I'd spend it on clothes, but only to look professional. What do you think?

November 26, 2010: After African-American Friday.

Location: Newport News, Virginia
Time: 10:00 p.m.
Description: I opted to stay home after working today. Today was Black Friday, and the keyword was multi-task. Members need this, a cashier needs that. What's the price of this? Can you go get me another that? But all in all, it was nothing compared to the peace I found when I decided to come to church to pray with my dad. I expressed my heart to the Lord, and I really feel like he heard me. It was so peaceful, and it really blessed my heart. Thank you, Lord. All today's worries faded away in your presence, and my heart rejoices in your love. I need to write a song. LOL

November 25: Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Location: Richmond, Virginia
Time: 4:50 p.m.
Description:

I'm thankful for my family and close friends and how God has kept them thus far. I'm thankful for my sister finding a place to live. I'm thankful for food, clothes and shelter. I'm thankful for God helping me to graduate and my promotions at my job. But most importantly, I'm thankful that the Lord showed me that even though I'm blessed, it's not always about me. Humility is a powerful thing. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.

November 24: 2010: Wally World

Location: Newport News, Virginia
Time: 11:20 p.m.
Description: I thought about how hectic Black Friday will be. Then, being at Wal-Mart, I realized how hard they will be hit. Dang. I have nothing to complain about. I guess the reason I never complain is because someone always has it worse.

November 23, 2010: The Robotcalypse is coming.....

Location: Newport News, Virginia
Time: 8:30 p.m.
Description: I'm pretty sure the slogan is used in a cheerful manner, but could this also be borderline subliminal? In a way, leaps in technology are made every day. Could this be foreshadowing for the near future? Tasks, errands and even jobs all handled by a computer does nothing for human productivity. We're moving into the age of tech, and a decent grip on reality will be very rare. This is not to scare you, but to inform you. Yeah, the iPad is great, but it may put you in the unemployment line. <-----Broad, I know, but very deep as well.

November 22, 2010: Martha and Ceej!

Location: Newport News, Virginia
Time: 9:40 a.m.
Description: Connie: CJ, what are you thankful for this Thanksgiving? CJ: I'm thankful for life, thankful for a job, but most importantly, I'm thankful for the woman sitting next to me.

You ever want somebody to catch a break? Martha and CJ aka Ceej are two of the most humble, loving, friendly, caring, funny and cheerful people I know at Sam's Club. I can't put into words how sweet they are. But I do know they are good people. Hard, earnest workers that do their job to provide for their family. I wanna be like them when I get older LOL Plus, Martha told me that she enjoys reading my blog and looking at my pictures. You know she got cool points for that. Ha!

November 21, 2010: GAW-SPUL!

Location: Newport News, Virginia
Time: 1:30 p.m.
Description: One thing I love about Beulah Tabernacle is that they sometimes revert back to older gospel songs I was raised on. Nostalgia never sounded so good, especially when mah Deedy has a solo! Sing Deedy!

November 20, 2010: BIG BLUE, WE LOVE YOU!

Location: Newport News, Virginia
Time: 11:20 p.m.
Description: THIS IS BIG BLUE. Big Blue is a mixture of the most comfy memory foam pillow and the softest pillow cover! Today was my first Saturday off work in a year and a half! IT WAS THE ULTIMATE RELAXATION DAY. SLEPT. ATE. WATCHED TV. CHECKED FACEBOOK. ATE. DRANK. TALKED TO THE LORD. LISTENED TO MUSIC. SLEPT. Like I said, I'm a simple guy. I never really need a big vacation because I like working. But this day has been blessed. And BIG BLUE WAS A BIG PART OF IT! WE LOVE YOU, BIG BLUE!

November 19, 2010: Mother Lewis, I love you.

Location: Newport News, Virginia
Time: 9:30 p.m.
Description: My church celebrated my Godmother's Mom's 90th birthday 2 years ago. I have always loved Mother Lewis, for her strong disposition and her encouraging love. I make it priority to greet and hug her every chance I get. She has been one of the only people outside of family that ever told me they were proud of me. I don't know why, but I LOVE when someone tells me they are proud of me. So many people said congrats, but only she and my parents made me feel accomplished. Plus guys, she's 9-freakin-2! Get on her level! Age-wise, son! Learn as much as you can from those who have lived your life more than 4 times. NEVER TAKE THEM FOR GRANTED.

November 18, 2010: On Earth, as it is in Heaven.

Location: Newport News, Virginia
Time: 11:30 p.m.
Description: I never noticed how many doo-dads and knick-knacks with scriptures or encouraging messages there are in this house. In the living room alone, in each corner, there are at least 2 plaques or aluminum structures, that talk about God, reiterate a scripture or encourage you in a awesome way. I think when I get my own place, I'm going to buy thing like this, just to keep a certain "spiritual ambiance". LOL

Description: It was my nephew AJ's 10th birthday today, and I bought him this cake and a football. I also bought this awesome card that makes noise when you open it.

November 14, 2010: HUNGRY MUNGRY!

Location: Newport News, Virginia
Time: 11:20 p.m.
Description: I was reminded of one of my favorite poets, growing up. Shel Silverstein has always been a big inspiration with his silly nonsense poetry a,d the vivid picture he brought to young imaginations. I loved this one, especially. it's called "Hungry Mungry", about a boy who swallows the whole universe. I want to write crazy poetry like that, and maybe I still can, But it's all up to what the Lord wants for my life.

November 12, 2010: CHELLY G IN THA PLACE TA BEE-HEE!

Location: Hampton, Virginia
Time: 11:00 p.m.
Description: Michelle, me, Mike, Tierra, Teyquana, Thomas and Stacey all went to Spare Times to celebrate Michelle's birthday. Michelle is a true friend for life, because she's a real person. Real people are people who don't just lay down when they see something wrong, they confront it. Even things with the church that aren't right, they don't just accept them. Real people don't play, even with fake super spiritual folk. That's rare. I love you, Michelle. You and your hilarious brother. LOL

Location: Newport News, Virginia
Time: 11:30 p.m.
Description: Another snack you guys should try, CHEEALSA is a new creation I started yesterday.

I spooned a little cheese sauce in the bowl, set it in the microwave for 1 minute, added the salsa and chips and DUG IN!!!!!!!!!! DELISH! GOURMET AS I WANNA BE.

November 9, 2010: Frodo, don't wear the ring!

Location: Newport News, Virginia
Time: 10:10 p.m.
Description: This is a comedy folk group called Flight of the Conchords. My boy Gabe put me on to them, about a year ago. They make comedy songs, and sing them with their guitars, and they are sooooooooo talented! I always thought about playing a musical instrument. I had an electric guitar when I was younger. I never played it. I'm contemplating picking up an instrument, though, and if i can learn it well enough, produce my own songs.

November 8, 2010: FWEEPY!

Location: Newport News, Virginia
Time: 2:20 p.m.
Description: This is me tired at work. I really need to change my sleeping habits. Late nights can't be the norm forever. It's where I do a lot of planning and imagining. It's so calm, peaceful and serene, but it doesn't help me to be well rested for the next day. I once thought I was a night owl. I was terribly wrong. The last straw that signified that I needed to really buckle down was my boy Hamilton pointing it out to me. When you hear it from someone else, it hurts. Ha.

November 7, 2010: I REALLY DON'T KNOW!

Location: Newport News, Virginia
Time: 10:00 p.m.
Description: This is a great show! It really makes you think! They set up hidden cameras around an areas and use actors to act out real situations. For example, one of the scenes was a child stealing a secured bike from a bike rack. They set these scenarios to see how people react. Some people just walk by, some say a few words and don't really intervene, and SOME REALLY DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! Sometimes, they confront the people with cameras, and talk to them about why they did what they did, even leading some to tears. It's interesting because it DOES make me think what I would do in certain situations, and it also shows me that that is how I should live my life for Jesus. People are watching me, and I have to make an account for my self when I get to judgement. In every situation, it's important to ask yourself, not just what would Jesus do, but WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

November 6, 2010: Barnes & Noble!

Location: Newport News, Virginia
Time: 10:30 p.m.
Description: The calmness of Barnes & Noble has captured my heart. Peace and tranquility is the song and B&N, it's muse. Vivaldi softly playing in the background, no loud members or machines, comfortable chairs, a sweet Frappaccino and a interesting book are all the joys of this sanctum. I have GOT to start coming here more often. I have never been so able to hear myself think. Ahh.

November 5, 2010: Mead being more preferred.....

Location: Newport News, Virginia
Time: 10:40 p.m.
Description: I found my brother's composition notebook near his backpack, and it brought back a million memories. Initially bought for school, I had like 10 of these notebooks. I used them for everything except school. I used to draw my superheroes in them, write poems, songs and stories, and make to do lists. I even had one that I used as a journal, so I guess you could say it was my first attempt at blogging. All of mine were Mead Composition Notebooks, and I may one day resort to using them again.

November 4, 2010: ANGELIC SOAP!

Location: Newport News, Virginia
Time: 11:40 p.m.
Description: THIS IS THE SOAP MADE FROM THE FEATHERS OF HEAVENLY ANGELS! lol Honestly, I enjoy the clean feeling of this soap, because instead of drying your skin out, it seals in the true moisture your body produces. It's awesome because you watch every instance of dirt that may have accumulated on your body, spill into the drain. IT'S AWESOME! My dad put me on, and I always listen to him now. He gave me tips on how to step my freshness gizzame up lol

November 3, 2010: Omelette du fromage!!!

Location: Newport News, Virginia
Time: 8:30 a.m.
Description: Son! I went to Golden Corral for breakfast (because I personally believe breakfast is the most important meal of the day) this morning and asked the chef guy for a cheese omelette. Omelette DU fromage! lol He used just a drop of oil, fresh eggs, fresh sweet peppers, tomatoes, olives, and onions, and threw it on my plate. OH LAWDY! That thing was soooooo good, but it was huge , and i couldn't finish the whole thing. I asked if I could get a doggie bag, but the waiter said no. I watched the chef make the omelette, and with this newfound knowledge I aspire to make my own gourmet omelettes!

November 2, 2010: VOTE OR DON'T!

Location: Newport News, Virginia
Time: 7:00 p.m.
Description: Only my second time voting, I went to the polls less informed than I would have liked to be. I didn't really have time to research all of these candidates, so that I knew what their stances were. The most I knew was their different parties. I also didn't know that there were going to be Constitutional amendments that I needed to agree or disagree on. This is similar to how it was a big surprise to me that more than just Obama or McCain were on the poll. There was Bob Barr and Cynthia McKinney, and a few other people I had never heard about. I made a vow today that from now on, whenever I vote, it will be an educated vote, with thorough knowledge of each candidate and issue. By the way, just so you know, I always vote for Jesus.

Description: After a hectic day at work (first of the month), even my snacks have to be gourmet, because hey, what can i say? I'm a gourmet kinda guy! First off, this popcorn is dirt cheap and frikkin delicious! Not too sweet, but very satisfying. And you drink grape juice, but I drink 100% Blueberry juice, yo! Blueberry juice, you've made my daaaaaay!!! lol A bowl and cup of this stuff, and ya boy is good to go!
