Holidaze, circa 2009

Posted in Life with tags , , , on November 29, 2009 by a.don.is

I always approach the holidays with a small sense of dread.  I dont exactly know why.  It’s almost like I expect something bad to happen.  It never really does, but it dosent stop me from feeling that way.  It’s not like some tragic thing has even happened to me during the holidays.  I dunno…

Anyway, this turkey day went rather well.  Aliyah and I took a drive over to the D to spend it with Mom, Zo and Deon.  Got up there just before noon Thursday, which turned out to be perfect timing.  Helped Mom finish preparing and set the table.  Of course we were waiting on Zo to show up.  Finally about 1:20ish he pops in.  Surprise surprise he’s got yet another “new” girlfriend.  Some chick named Ebony.  With three little kids in tow. Sigh. I dont know what makes him do it LOL  This chick, Ebony, at least seemed cognizant of her surroundings. She could hold a conversation.  And she seems to have established discipline in her kids.  Mom kind of played her blase but thats Mom for you.  Zo seems happy so thats all I care about.

Food was awesome of course.  Very traditional fare.  Turkey, ham, candied yams, baked mac & cheese, cranberry sauce, dressing, greens, corn bread, rolls, the works!  Afterwards we all hung out just chit chatting, catching up on things, cracking jokes and what not.  Zo and his “crew” skated out early of course.  Still it was a good evening…

Don’t know whats up for Christmas yet.  Probably wont travel.  Depends on the weather mostly. We’ll see…

Wow!  I had totally forgotten about this blog LOL  I was doing a search on myself ( i do that every so often.  Good to know whats out there with your name on it 😉 ) and it popped up.  I didnt even remember having a blog on WordPress, but hey it’s all good.

I think I’m going to actually give this thing another try.  Althought between Twitter and facebook, I dont know exactly what I’ll have left over to talk about here LOL

So anyway, this is the return of my blog.  Huzzzah! LOL

Life…in general…

Posted in Life on March 26, 2009 by a.don.is

Sometimes I sit and think back on the many things that have shaped my life and made me the man I am today.  I wonder who (if any) different I would be if I had made choices other than what I did.

I mean, there’s not too much that I have done in my life that I really regret, other than my failed marriage.  I’ve had my crazy highs and lived through some depressing lows but overall I think I’ve led a pretty decent life.

I think wacthing my grandmother go through physical therapy as she trys to recuperate from knee replacement surgery has me thinking about my mortality.  Not being fatalistic by any means, its just that I have so much more I’d like to do with my life yet.  So much more I’d like to do with my kid.  So much time I’d love to devote to someone who loves me.  Gads I’m sounding like a Lifetime movie LOL

I’m really starting to think its time to seriously think about “settling down”.  Man what does that mean?
