I thought I’d have a good story to tell about my NYE or some dope pictures to share.  None of the sort…today was very…anti-climatic.  I went to visit Kelee before she moved back to Cali today .  We laughed and talked and laughed some more.  Then we both got extra soft and teared up when it was time to get in our cars and part ways.  Though Melrose IS NOT DEAD (don’t even ask me the questions!), it still stunk like shit to put a definite crack in the concrete.  Hopefully all goes real well real fast and we’ll be right back on target…with all of us in the same area code.  We got some (legal) work to do ASAP soooo, yeah.

Then I went to the mall to buy an outfit for tonight’s shindig.  As I was looking through the stores, though, I had a strong feeling that I was gonna end up doing nothing tonight, so I left the mall empty handed.  Went home and did my hair really cute for in case I did go out.

Headed to work and prayed I’d get off early because SURELY no one with any type of life would be ringing in the New Year at a restaurant.  Not a bar, a restaurant.  Guess I was wrong, ’cause I was at work til almost 1 am.  Guess I was included in that lump of those without any type of life (lol).  So the only story I have is how I served a dude 4 Asian Pear Martinis in about an hour and the only pix I have are of me, bartenders, and bus-boys.  And I’m now sitting in bed alone, smelling like salad dressing.  Sweet, right?!

Guess it all means I should be working and reflecting (and possibly showering) instead of drinking and cuttin’ rugs.  So what shall I reflect on?  Hmmmm….can’t really say I have many resolutions.  I did well with the ones I made last year.  I’m starting my year off with a 21-day Daniel Fast, so I’m welcoming the clarity, spiritual revolutions, and (vanity alert!) inevitable weight loss .  I’m keeping it 100.  Prayers for a successful fast are welcome!  Other than that….maybe cut down on the cocktails a little.  Stay on the fitness regimine.  Ummm, speak up EVEN MORE.  Get a dog.  Reach out to my fam more.  Write more.  And continue to get closer to God.  The end.

I think it’ll be a good year once I figure where I’ll be living this year (will it be ATL, LA, or back East?).  Time’ll tell.  But I plan on being quite dogmatic this year.  I’m feeling pretty optimistic.

AND TODAY’S MY DADDY’S BIRTHDAY!!!!  HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DAD, IF YOU’RE LOOKING AT THIS!!!  You are the best dad and one of the most upstanding dudes I know.  You did what most men would not, and could not, do.  You took me and my sister and played the role of both parents.  I admire your integrity, your sacrafices, your strength, your talent and your intelligence.  I’m glad I inherited your bomb smile (lol), inclination to music, and cool a** demeanor.  Because you raised me like you did, people can’t get over on me because I know my self-worth and I know how a real man is supposed to treat me.  You the best, man!  Love ya!!!
