I'm takin' my 45-yr-old butt up to the park to exercise! I always feel so good afterward. And I don't mind the way it makes me look, either! Push-ups, here I come! :)
Last night I watched the "Dancing With The Stars" finale. The musical guest was, Whitney Houston. I've said many times before how much joy her voice has given to me. And I'm talkin', real, tangible joy. Just to see her stand at a mic and open her mouth used to make me feel like one of the happiest dudes on earth. Her voice was that mesmerizing to me. Last night, however...well, last night, her performance made it abundantly clear to me that she should never perform in concert again. I don't see how she could. Her voice is ravaged. Absolutely gonedifferent! What I wonder, though, is how she truly feels about its loss. I mean, surely she, too, goes to YouTube -- from time to time -- and listens to the majestic tone and range she used to have. Well, luckily for me and all her fans the world over, we have YouTube. 'Cause the Whitney Houston of today is a stranger to me. I don't know that woman's voice. And, quite honestly, I never want to! I choose to remember her when she SANG HER FACE OFF...
Several of my best friends and I have embarked upon LIFE-CHANGING decisions. TYSHAWN is going back to college for a Computer Science degree and going to a school to learn to produce hip hop songs. My dear friend, MADELINE, is going back to school for a graduate degree and starting a new job at her children's high school. I, on the other hand, will begin a one-week gig at a ritzy, country club, working as a...well, I don't have a title. I'll be hovering over all the rich and/or famous clientele who will be there, attending a golf tournament; making sure their every whim is fulfilled. After that week, I'll continue working on a writing project. All in all, I see I have to get out of this apartment in order to affect, real change. And this, I shall do. Wish me luck!
It took him a minute to grow on me, but I'm hooked now!!! Jimmy Kimmel's monologue is the highlight of my friggin' late night!!! Damn clever!!!! Give him a look-see!
Thanksgiving Day, instead of eating delicious food with my beloved family, I'll be serving dinner to rich people. I need the money, so I'm doing it. I'm not proud of it. In fact, I feel a lil' put off by it. But, in all honesty, I have only ME to blame for being in this position. If in my youth I had done what I had to do, to do what I want to do, I'd be eating with my four sisters and one brother! Where I truly belong! Hear me, Universe, when I say this: THURSDAY, NOV. 26th, 2009 will be the LAST Thanksgiving I'm not spending the day with people I LOVE! What I have to wear to serve these people is probably what gets me the most. For some reason, the white gloves really make me feel some kind of way. I give gratitude for the pay. But WILL live the life I want by NEXT Thanksgiving! PERIOD!
I'm 6'2", 175 lbs, 31" waist and one of my favorite shows is, NBC's BIGGEST LOSER. Truth be told, I just find it soooo damn inspirational! Watchin' it as I type!
