can i get some?

wussup ya'll just wrote some shit right quick, so if it doesn't make sense...

just got off of work
and in desperate need
of some of that good stuff,
the stuff that makes you feel good
not talking about that kryptonite,
cause i don't be on it no more
like i used to.
made a nigga feel so good
after a long day of work
like i owned the universe
like the bill collectors:
sam's credit
macy's
jcpenny
marks and morgan
capitol one,
weren't looking for my ass!

but i'm talking about a good drink
something mixed
or maybe something brewed
a good, cold bud light
or maybe a long island tea on ice
some grey goose and juice
cranberry and absolut
sip some paul until i fall
get my head all twisted
and not rememeber what happened
when i wake up the next day.

another day gone by

these days keep flying by me. today i didn't have to work and i didn't have to go to school, so what was a guy to do. i have plenty of books that i haven't read, but i wasn't in a reading mood today. i have plenty of movies that i can watch, but i didn't feel like watching them today. just didn't feel like doing shit! you ever had a day like that?

but we did go to the mall and take a bunch of stuff back from christmas, stuff that wasn't needed in the first place. and it seems like everybody else had the same idea in mind because the damn mall was packed like the line to get in the club before eleven! it was cool though. at least that gave me something to do.

now i'm sitting up in the house hungry as hell, waiting for this chicken to thaw out so i can eat and watching reruns of punk'd. i don't really have anything else to do, and my girlfriend is heading back home tonight so i guess i'll finish up a couple of these library books before the third of january, when they're due back.

i'm actually ready for school to start back. that way i know what to expect in a day (or something like that). it's probably because i know that i'm on my way to being finished. i know that next semester is going to be hell for me, but i'm excited. i passed the exit exam and the only thing left for me is to take these classes. lord let me make it! god bless.

another day gone by...

unwrapping another year

i'm sitting here counting down the days until the new year, and the days aren't going by fast enough for me. this has been a good year for me, but i'm also ready for it to be over. ready for a new start. ready to get my shit together. i'm not making new year's resolutions because they always turn out to be a bunch of lies that nobody ever keeps. i do plan to pay off all of my credit card bills and get everything caught up. once i do that, i'll be good to go. i'm tired of these bastards calling my cell phone asking, "may i speak to greg? what's up man?" you know, talking to me like they know me. that's some funny shit! i'm like, "nigga if you know me, let your boy hold something until i get on my feet!" they're a trip i tell you.

but with 2005 winding down, i can only anticipate what a new year will bring. god have mercy on my soul. i know there will be so many good times and so many bad times, but as long as i'm granted another day how can i complain? i keep getting these blessings that i know i don't deserve, but i just accept them and continue to search for my purpose. there are still so many things i plan on accomplishing and haven't accomplished yet so i'm looking forward to doing so.

i'm grown now. and i think other people need to realize that they're grown too. there's a time and a place for everything. a time for work, a time for play, a time to blaze up a good one, a time to get on that Paul, but it's all about balancing everything out and still being able to come out on top of the game.

life is a gift. another part of it is about to be unwrapped in a few days. do you think you'll like what you receive? i hope so. much love.

a drunken state

she made me feel so good
but i knew it wasn't right
and i tried to put up a fight
but i gave in
to this tasteful sin.

and i didn't stop after the first
because i had to quench my thirst
but it only made things worse-
made my whole world spin.

and i've never felt this way,
for some reason my friends keep calling her Jose'
and now i'm confused
because HER name sounds like a dudes
so i took off my shoes
to think about the situation.

now her last name started with a "C"
and she looked familiar-
she knew me.
so now things are so strange
and I just can't change
the way that things are happening to me.

but it's like we met in another life,
like she was a cuban cigar
and i was the light
and things were just right
from beginning to end.

and then things started coming to me
and i knew that she
had been in my life before.
but i put her down
cause i couldn't take anymore
she left my head feeling sore,
throbbing,
aching,
dizzy
the day afterwards.

but i was starting to realize her name
and other guys said she had done the same
thing to them
when the sun fell out of the sky.
and this was no lie.

her skin was golden
and she had a unique smell
can't explanin it
but i can tell
when she comes in a room.

she puts everyone who touches her in a daze
and you won't remember the next day
at least that's what they say
or that's what i was first told.

but i'm thinking to myself
and wondering how this could be so
and all i wanted to know
is what mom would name her daughter
Jose' Cuervo.

finally over

wussup everyone. it's been a minute since i've had a chance to post, but it seems like everything has been coming down on me at once. i was really stressed during the week of finals because, of course, i waited until the last minute to do a lot of my work. it did pay off though, and i did get a 3.5 for the semester, so i think that i did really good. i could've gotten all A's but i know i'm smart- i don't have to prove that to anybody else...lol...j/k.

i don't think it's really hit me that i'm about to be leaving fort valley state in a couple of months. i've made a home down in that place, but i have to see what else life holds for me! unlike other people, i'm excited! excited to be going to law school, excited to catch up on some bills, excited to start my life again. and it's been a long time since i felt this way.

i went to the A-town as everyone calls it, and i had a blast on friday. i found me a new drink called the Bob Marley (doesn't that sound like some shit that'll get you f*cked up!). it's holiday season and i plan on having a good time, whatever that may consist of. after a long day of hard work, i just want me an ice cold beer or a good shot of hennesy. man oh man. let me stop talking about this stuff before you all think i'm an alcoholic. i do know some potential alky's but i won't call any names, but her initials are DD (lol).

anyway, i'm about to get at you all later. about to check out Mr. and Mrs. Smith, which i heard was good. and it turns out that my roommate caught Nip/Tuck on sale at Wal-Mart! i may be up all night, plus i'm off of work tomorrow. so now i'll just mix me up a drink and start washing some clothes that are long overdue.
peace and love

dilemma

he tried to bring me down
but i never frowned
i just smiled
because i knew all the while
that it would make him mad.
people looked on in awe
like my actions were bad
but honestly
all of them can kiss my cheek
or should i say ass?
so he made a comment
and went on with what he was saying
but i really don't think
he knew who he was playing,
or should i say fucking with
cause i really don't play that shit
will twist things around smoothly
and make you feel like a limp dick-
soft,
in need of determination
knocked down and unable to get up
now what's your motivation?

see i try to be a good guy
but it would be a damn lie
if i told you i didn't cry
hurt or seek revenge,
lost a couple of my friends
and never tried to make amends,
cause i didn't need fake people in my life.
they say i'm a rebel
because i go against the rules sometimes
but honestly that keeps me from losing my mind
most of the time

damn

had to take a moment
but i'll get back to my story
paused for the cause
because that shit was mandatory
like the rent-
that's due on the 1st of the month
a nigga always dress nice
but it's just a big front
or put-on,
whatever phrase says it best.
but I look out for self 1st
and then family comes next

not accepted by my kind
cause my skin's too light,
not accepted by the others
cause my skin's not white.
so i guess it's kind of hard
but i'll pull through-
rising to the top
with or without you.
i stand up to ignorance
and seek knowledge with my mental
can make a nigga feel small
with the stroke of my pencil
used to smoke,
still drink,
but you'd never know
unless i told you so-
unless i wanted you to know.

don't like people all up on me
and yeah sometimes friends are phony,
cause some people that are my enemies now
i used to call my homies-
but back to the dude
i was talking about at first
he thought what he said was a gift
but now that shit is a curse
not trying to threaten anyone
cause i don't practice voodoo,
yeah there's a nigga inside me
but there's a nigga inside of you too.
he had blue eyes
and told nothing but lies
adopted a little girl that was my color
so he thinks we have family ties

BOY STOP

you could never survive what I've been through
would kill yourself easily
if you had to take a walk in my shoes
so i'll push your power off
like a city that was hooked up at the circuit
cause the more i think about it-
man, you ain't even worth it

mental notes

my mind was truly on a mission of its own yesterday. here are a few things that were going on inside the brain yesterday:

4:30 p.m.

man, if these damn people from marks and morgan call me again about this payment shit i'm gonna just let them have it. i already told this bitch i wouldn't have the money until january and then she gonna threaten me and say she'll come take her jewelry back bitch please! i would like to see her take the watch off of this arm. i guess i'll just shoot them these $60 to keep them from calling me the rest of the month. (goes inside the store, pays the bill, headed to work). damn, that was quicker than i thought, and the guy in there was cool too. that's wussup. but now i don't feel like going to work and then my manager is closing tonight so i might be late getting to the club and shit! fuck man! but i need the money so i might as well go ahead and clock in.


5:30


damn man, it's only five thirty! that means i have another hour and 1/2 to go before i can take my first break. then these people are getting on my damn nerves. what the fuck does this lady want and why is she standing behind me? doesn't she see that i'm doing something right now. i should go ahead and take my break and act like i don't see her ass since she's acting like i'm supposed to acknowledge her. folks these days! then she's looking for this talapia that's right in front of her- this the shit i be talking bout (and yes i did mean to use incorrect english on purpose, remember these are mental thoughts).


7:00


whew! i made it to break time. i really don't know what the hell i'm so excited about because i only have a dollor, but at least it's enough to get me one of these cinnamon rolls and and a dr. pepper. i should come up with a drink and name it professor salt, but mine would be clear. hmmmmm! damn this soda is strong, but i need it! fuck man, my break is over already?! i think i'm gonna take another five minutes. we better get out of here on time too because i gotta meet my people so we can get to the club before they stop letting n.i.g.g.a.s in for free. i need all of my dollars to buy me some drinks *brain fart*.


9:00


damn we got off of work early. i guess they knew i had plans tonight and if one more person stops me while i'm walking to my car i just may drive back up here and run over their asses. don't they see me walking swiftly? don't they know that when someone does that it means that they are in a hurry? maybe it's just me. i gotta shower real quick when i get to the house cause i smell like freezer/cooler and i gotta get me a shot of that Paul before we leave. can't spend all of my damn money at the bar!


12:30

oh man i think i'm gonna have a hangover in the morning. oh shit, let me move out of the way. it's funny how these girls go crazy over this stupid ass laffy taffy song. but what the hell, i may as well go out here too. besides, all of my friends are out here and i'm not about to be stuck in the middle of the dance floor. this is a good party song though! lol.



2:30


oh man i think i drank too much being that i have to get up in the morning to make it to my 9:00 class. and i'm hungry as hell right now! i wonder what we have in the fridge. i might as well get some of this red kool-aid and call it a night. it's been a long day already. plus there isn't anything on tv anyway.


2:45

*** sound asleep ***
