Chatt-Town, Memphis, and the whole weekend in one day

Well this was suppose to be the weekend filled with work ,work and more work. The days of the red and khaki are ending for me. The moments are numbered and I am slowly counting down. I erased the Saturday moments to spend time with one of my new home girls. We will call her young B. Young B is cool. Always speaks her mind and doesn't hold back for anyone. I respect that about her. She always has a story to tell and for once in my life I enjoy listening to someone Else's antics that mirror mine so much it's unreal lol. She knows more about me then most. I can be myself around her which in this world is hard to find sometimes.

She is like the mirror image of my besti. She can hang with us even though she isn't the same age and her age doesn't matter. We kicked it yesterday to take the mind off of nupe phi nupe. A small trip but a much needed one. She got tat-tat-tatted up lol. I am afraid of the whole tat thing. Doubt I would ever get one. But I really did think about it yesterday. I got to see my play lil brother. Who at one point in life I thought would really be my brother in law. But that is a whole another story within itself. He has a girl now( for a minute I thought basketball would always be his girl). But he seems really happy and I am happy for him. He introduced me like I was important. Made me feel special lol. Of course he spoke to young B ,who was having flashback central while in the tat place. It was crazy how many people were in there. All different backgrounds looks and sizes.

Chatt in some ways reminds me of Memphis. Hood in some places nice and simple in others. It is like going from one world to another ,by just traveling down one street. So we spent the whole day in Chatt just having fun. It is amazing how you be together with a cool person and just have fun. On the way home I just got into my slow jam mix and just rode. Thinking about life and where I want to be by the end of the year. It is a look deep within inside me that I started at the beginning of last week,when I turned in my two week notice without even knowing where I would work or how I would survive when that last day came. Needless to say God shows up not when you want him to but when he needs to. And that happened that day. I stepped out on faith and he answered me. Because I knew he would cover me. And I am blessed to say that I love the Lord and everything that he is doing in my life. I am blessed with a new job and new friends. It is great to be me.

Chicken..weddings...and Girls

Well world I went back home to Memphis this weekend. It was a much needed getaway. Not thinking about work,bills or anything else that stresses me out on a everyday basis. I stayed at my aunt and uncle house which is always an experience every time i come home. They were happy to see us(me and the roommate). Everything seemed to be going well until I found out that my room was no longer my room. The children have moved back in and well needless to say ,I have no room anymore. But it was cool, I just need someone to lay my head.Well it was also my family reunion(which i knew nothing about). So the house was full of chicken,chicken and more chicken. And to two people who have been down on their luck,getting free food was an extra bonus. lol. I had so much chicken this weekend I really felt I was going to turn into a chicken,lol.

My uncle is catering now. So that is why it was so much chicken. It is nice to know that he is still working with what he loves. He has always been about chicken and is going to forever be about chicken. He has his own recipes and his own talent and it makes for good eating. I hope to one day be able to truly do what I love and still be able to have the life that I want. Nothing has stopped since the family business left and I am good with that. He also helps take care of my grandma,which I am grateful for because I could not do it on my own. So I thank God for family.

That night saw J. No baby this trip but it was nice seeing him. I'm glad that the three of us have mended our fences and can actually be around each other and not fight. It is a good thing. Plus it was nice to help him get out the house for a change and it not be a family function. Pretty much didn't do anything but family time the first night. Got to get that in every trip or heads will roll. By the way did u see the Celtics comeback the other night??More to come on that later....

Well Saturday comes around and we get up to go to the mall. Had to get the fits right for the occasion. A 30 minute trip to the mall(which hardly ever happens) and we were good to go. Went to my sister's house to see my dad. I haven't seen him face to face in almost two years. And we only stay 3 hours away from each other,something is wrong with that huh?Well with the cost of gas these days it might be another two before we see each other. Anyway it went well,he even gave my roommate a hug and a kiss. Which startled me . He never showed affection to anyone around me. HHHHmmmmm. So we move along to the wedding.

Now I knew this young lady from college. She is a Delta . Crossed with my roomie. Needless to say I usually don't go to the delta functions because I get left by myself. But I went to this one and I am glad I did. Not only did I get a good trip home but at the reception I saw a lot of people I had not seen in a long time. A.T. a good personal friend of the family as well as a Delta. My girl D. Track from high school. Had not seen her since we went on our separate ways to college. She is doing well just like everyone else and we spent most of the reception catching up on us and everyone else we talk to from high school. It is nice to know that everyone is doing well. I couldn't ask for more as a leader of my class. Then the music!!! We had all the Memphis throwbacks and it was cool to get "crunk" at least for a little second before leaving. I love my black people. We do know how to have a good time. lol

Now on Sunday was father's day and the big dinner. Finally got to see my sister and even more time with the niece and nephew. My sister and I finally got a moment alone and I told her about my bisexual life. To my surprise she already knew. In her words "I'm your sister" "if i don't know ,that would be bad on me". So there you have it. My siblings now know and don't care. In fact they love the girl that I am in love with. And that is all right with me. So that lifted a weight off my shoulder. And once she said that the way my dad was acting I think he knows to. He has never been a father that stopped me from doing anything as long as it didn't hurt me. He has always let us make our own decisions and for that I am grateful and well I think he is cool with my lifestyle to. Cus if sister knows,then I know he does.

So Memphis was cool , I might go back 4th of July and I am actually excited about it. More to come about the trip to the M!!!!
