Speaking of which...
Ayy yo,
I'm finally back from a little self-induced hiatus that I'd like to think was a vacation but was anything but. While I was away I took my kids to see that new movie, Toy Story 3. Not bad I must say; but I'm hoping that those fuggin toys finally get it through their brightly painted vinyl heads that they are just toys and that the time spent with the kid that plays with them will become less and less a priority over time as those same kids eventually grow up and grow apart - just like most Black love relationships.
Yeah, I said it...
Anyway, while I was away I also peeped that new Karate Kid flick starring smug azz newcomer, rich-kid Jayden Smith and Jackie Chan. Now that's just the kinda of realism that we need to see on the big screen, Yo - a black kid moving to the hood somewhere in East Asia thinking that he will fit in with the "boyz from the hood" and not get his azz kicked repeatedly each and erry'day until he learns how to fight back their way. In my warped opinion it totally mirrors what happens to us cocoa-flavored folks coming into corporate America all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed fresh outta college. Where was Mr. Miyagi when I needed to learn how to work the copier huh or the single-cup coffee machine? 
My few days away weren't all about movies and indepth real-life analysis though. I actually took some time to smell the roses and walk barefoot in my backyard with my shoes off so that my toes could feel the grass and earth underneath. Too bad stepping in all that bird poop and Canadian Geese **** made me put my shoes right back on after soaking and scrubbing my tootsies with bleach. I sat out in the sun and worked on my tan, read a few trashy novels, and even did a crossword puzzle or two. Everytime I got stuck on a word though, the answer was either "bastid", "mawfugga", and 
"****I-don't-know." Ahh... nothing like a little relaxation to calm me down.
So let's not have me monopolize the conversation, BAF. How have things been with you in your hood or J-O-B lately? Holla at your boy.
Hey Mr D_A! Two movies I plan to see. Thanks for the reviews, lol. For frugal mindeed me (aka cheap), one will wait until it hits the $1.99 movie theater.
My word of the moment is STRESSED but I will not let it steal my JOY. I'm going to make good things happen this week. Have a good one!

V'N MY RNY. WORKING FOR ME BECAUSE I WORK FOR IT.
Heeyyyy!
Well hey yourself, Homie! 
If I start venting, I may never shut up!
Personally, I'd rather ya vent it out than keep it pent up. We get less gray hairs that way. Find a friend, buy some drinks, and repair what's broken. 
I'll just say that I am still among the living so, I'm thankful. Yeah, I'll leave it at that.
I hear ya. Great posts lately for those vets that have been gaining weight and the support you provide within.

Haven't seen you around these parts in a minute and a few Sunday's yourself there, Rebbum. You must've been on vacation too. 
I've been working a part-time job the past 2 months WOW. Someone on this site once said two jobs is one job too many and that is the truth!. It's a good paying part-time temporary gig that will be over the end of July. The opportunity presented itself and I thought it would be a good idea to do it and save the money. Damn you talking about one tired azzz sister I'm too old for this foolishness; but I started it so I will complete.
You know this is an interesting season for me....I'm reminded of Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man. After my weight loss it's as though I am now visible to people that I was previously invisible to. I don't know if I'm carrying it with a new attitude or what but damn it's as though Bewitched twinkled her nose and folks can now see me. Opening doors & holding them if I'm several feet away, turning around to take 2nd & 3rd looks when I'm going down the street, going out of their way to speak. I'm not sure if I'm pleased by all of this new attention (I've always thought I was a bad biotch) but I now think I was the Invisible Woman prior to WLS. Deep
I've been rather busy lately haven't felt like sitting in a movie theater & the cable company has found a way to digitalize all of their channels so my bootleg connection of 10 YEARS! is gone so a sister has no****ched much of anything..........waiting for the bootleggers to get some mo educamation I'm sooooooooooo spoiled :)
Peace
Change is a Process Not an Event
Ain't nuttin to it; you know how I do it.
It's all good in the hood. I'm glad somebody got a break and was able to slow down and smell the roses.
The Good Lawd moves in mysterious ways and I'm so glad he decided to make my manager approve my vacation or I'd have no need for BAF inside somebody's correctional facility.
Other than some long weekend trips I doubt if I'll get any real time off this summer considering I was out for over 6 weeks after surgery and layoff's are looming at my work hood. Damn, Damn, Damn,
(doing my best Wilona Woods impersonation) I hear ya, Flo. Chile, now I heard that yo' James done faked his own death after hitting the numbers jackpot down at the car wash; not wanting to share with the you and the rest of the family, while Michael, Bookman, and Ned the Wino all ran away together to an island to be in love. Is that true?

I hear ya, Yo. I'm too old for that kinda foolishness too. Working two jobs is not for me. Good luck in your endeavors though.

Great book.
I highly recommend it.After my weight loss it's as though I am now visible to people that I was previously invisible to.

Yeah I know it's amazing right how much changes within us and around us after WLS? Now if I can just get those pesky Catholic priest to stop whistling at me when I walk past Our Lady of Sardines.

You stoopid, Cole.
