Chicago raised, living in Georgia of all places 🙄
Tennis, comic books, 80s/90s music, and minding my businesses is what I do and who I am.
Is it just me or do the golden Oreos HIT more than the regular ones?

Have you ever loved somebody, secretly loved somebody who didn't know?
Have you fell in love with somebody, deeply loved somebody who didn't know?

The reasons for my life are filling all my spaces
Like rushing waters flow they carry me along
Twisting through my memory to pull free from the load
The reasons for my life are more than I was told
But oh the sweet delight to sing with all my might
To spark the inner light of wonder burning bright.

"Could you take me as I am?
I'm just a scarred man.
These hands need your guidance
Take me past my circumstance.
Perfectly blind..."

How many versions of "All I Want for Christmas Is You" are there? My job is determined to play ALL of them except the original by Mariah. 😩

My paycheck (or I'm guessing my retirement or Social Security) from October 20, 2081 posted today. Let me go buy a car. Lol.

Speaking of Tamyra Gray, she is/was absolutely GROSSLY underrated. I'd never seen this performance during her American Idol journey but this was amazing!

Personal issues aside, Color Me Badd was actually a pretty solid group, vocally. I hate they're mainly reduced to two songs.

An aside: is the Kenny G looking guy still married to Tamyra Gray? Lemme find out.

Two strangers, not strangers, only lacking the knowing.
So willing, feeling, infinite growing.
While we're here the whole world is turning.
We should be one fulfilling our yearning.
You can see inside me; will you come inside me?
Do you wanna ride inside my love?

I have to learn to stop going to McDonald's after midnight, if at all. I've been sitting in this exact spot for at least fifteen minutes. Maybe I should learn to just drive the extra ten minutes to Wawa this late.

Well, now I'm in a whole 'nother room since no one can get into my original room. At least the hotel is pretty much taking care of everything financially. But I want my stuff lol
Or, let's just wait in the lobby until the manager lets me into the room since nobody's keycards work. 😩

Apparently since I don't drink beer I'm gay too.

Oh.

🤦🏾‍♂️
Damn, is EVERYTHING gay?

It used to just be who you sleep with.

Now it's:
What you eat.
What you wear.
What color you like.
What you watch.
What you say.
How you sleep.
How you sit.
How you breathe.
How you sing.
Where you live.
What you drive.
How great your skin is.
How you smell.

Is that all?

Another underrated song from En Vogue's underrated album Masterpiece Theatre.

The way this song craftily lays out the clues of a cheating spouse by the days of the week is brilliant to me.

This song and album are so underrated.

I can officially say, "Bye Florida!"

It's been a great 25 year stay (lol) and while I loved this last apartment and its views, onward and upward to new beginnings.

“A part” and “apart” are not the same.

Reading this morning: “That’s a big apart of my dream.”

Immediately annoyed and not moving forward rn.
