Sometimes....I may seem a lil distant...

-- tea is better than coffee...I'm AWAKE!!! LOL

-- Jeremih's album is like a baby version of a Dream album...

-- ...with MUCH better singing...

-- I just realized...I'm quite a secretive person...

-- ...it tends to be a gift and a curse...

-- a guy who is concerned about you even when he can't see you often, is a guy you keep around!

-- the wine festival couldn't have been any better this year! Even though it was packed like shit and it took us forever to get there, I'm glad I got to go and bring my closest friends! **pics on FB**

-- kickboxing???? HMM...maybe...

-- I need to bounce him out of my life...I know I know...obviously we can't be friends...

-- I have the ability to bring the *5 year old girl* out in a man...that's definitely a curse I'm going to break....

-- ...excuses are like assholes...

-- 'In the future...everyone will be famous for 15 minutes' *andy warhol*

-- maybe I should take the field position...

-- think positive....and positive will be returned...

-- think negative....and negative will be returned...



*peace*love*music*

I need a SWEET ESCAPE....

-- sometimes....I want to write nasty blogs....

-- I did my poor *Panky* so wrong...and now i'm paying the cost for it...to the tune of a few hundred bucks...

-- driving thru ditches on 395 == BAD IDEA

-- you can't have your cake and eat it too...please remember that...

-- now that my ability to chew has returned and i'm dealing with all this bullshit, I deserve sushi...

-- ...a lot of sushi...

-- once it's done, you won't have to worry about it again for a long time..

Today's color to fill in life's spaces: grey....

** I actually miss Michael Jackson now...

** Off The Wall == best MJ album

** I'm open to opposers...

** Thank goodness for TVOne marathons...late night television is so much better...

** I'm mad everyone is shit talking...it's cool, it only fuels my likelihood of doing the complete opposite...

** ...and we're not even gonna get started on all the cows you know...

** ...I'm just sayin...

** ...don't be mad if you look up and I'm gone....

** I swear, if Clovis sticks his tongue in my ear again, I'll chop his lil limp manhood off! Don't you ever think that it will ever be the way it ever was...

** ....but your friend was fine as hell though!! Do me a favor?? Pass him my number. After you do that, delete it out your phone...

** Stop making bets on my womb!

** I got mad cooking to do when I wake up...

** I was so craving sushi at 1:30 this morning!

** When am I not craving sushi???

** I can't wait til sunday...




*peace*love*music*

Ha.....I accept your challenge. You don't even know what the challenge is, but I accept it nonetheless....

Found it...

*The end of my post from earlier*

**I don't know what's been going on lately but something is in the air that is causing death. Like forreal. The metro crash claims 9, farrah fawcet succumbs to cancer, and Michael Jackson just suddenly dies of cardiac arrest?? Now, Ed McMahon died this week too...but he was maad old and that one wasn't such a surprise. But honestly. It's like we tapped out for a week for vacation and the whold world falls apart! What the fuck...

...I don't think the world is going to recover from this period of mourning...

**I need some catch up....

...back to the real world...

...peep vacation pics up on Facebook in the next few days...


*peace*love*music*

SHITTTT

My fucking phone cut off half my email and only half of my last post was posted....

oh well...

night

*peace*love*music*

And as it began, so shall it end...

**i'm sad....i'm sitting in the airport getting ready to leave florida...

It just wasn't long enough...I wish I could be laying on the beach a few more days...just a few.

** I went jet skiing and parasailing yesterday. It was fun. A bit overpriced, but oh well. They should put a warning sign on the jet ski stand that says you must do stretches before going out. That ride was s fucking intense! I was sore all day yesterday. And today I woke up feeling like I had been stuffed thru a grinder. I can barely move!

Parasailing...was...an experience, to say the the least. I can't say its something I am willing to do again. They took us on a ride thru a channel out to the sea. In this channel are some of the grandest houses i've ever seen. Like, these house easily go for $10million or more. They shoed us this little house that was for sale:$4million. I'm be like that one day...big ass house on the water worth a huge amount of money. Once we got out to sea, it started getting windy and they were hesitating to put us up in the air...but they did it anyway. We got up there with parashute #1 and they said it wasn't sitting right. Mind you, we were about 300-400 feet up in the air. Not cool. Then they said they were going to take us back to dock cause it was too windy, and they instead broke out another parachute and put just me up in the air. I was all cool with it at first, then it was shaking and did a lil dip...over ocean...deep ocean...I wasn't feeling it after that. When they finally pulled me back in. They told me I needed to go back out because my friend was too light to go by hisself...hmmm....whatever. Well needless to say, I was motion sick and I too thru with parasailing after that ride

I knew it...

**i'm heading back to Ft. Lauderdale from Key West....mission accomplished

We had plans to go on an all day water tour *kayak, parasailing, water skiing, and snorkeling* but the key west weather decided it didn't want us to do that. So we had breakfast at some really nice local restaurant *I had a seafood omlette...delicious* and now we're headed back.

**i'm having a GREAT time!! I've gotten almost everything I wanted do in *with exception of the booze cruise and winning money at the casino*

**side note** when I mention that i'm on vacation, I'm usually not concerning myself with spending all my time on the phone getting to know someone new. If I tell you I will hit you up when I return, I mean it. You don't need to hit me up days before I return and proceed to reprimand me on not contacting you. Not only is it making a *BAAADD* first impression, but its a sure sign of future insecuities. Never come at me like that and expect me to want to get to know you better. I answer to NOONE *cept God* and I do whatever the fuck I want. Can't handle it? KICK ROCKS **that is all...management**

**if you're over the age of 20 and you still whine, pout, and complain like a childish bitch, you are in serious need of some therapy. Life is too short to spend it complaining and whining. Gotta live life before it lives you!

**billy's birthday is tomorrow...and I might just be more excited than he is...he might even be mad that i'm mentioning it here...sorry. Everyone's birthday gets posted here.

**TT and EJ look at me crazy cause I am deathly afraid of needles...lmao! I'll add them to the list of people! I don't know what it is, when it comes to doctor's needles...I panic. I can handle tattoos *you don't see the actual needle* and piercings *some I saw the needles, others I already was prepared to take it*, but not doctors' needles...I chalk it up to bad childhood experiences...

...I wanna get another tat...

**I should have packed some tea. Do they not drink any in Florida?? I swear, i've yet to see a tea bag down here and i'm craving pomegranate white tea and yogi detox tea really bad!

**I'm out...until my next destination...

*peace*love*music*

I'm in Miami Bitch

Yes folks, it's been awhile and yes, this postis coming live from the sands of South Beach Miami.

OMG its hot as hell down here...I haven't been checking the weather report...but i'm sure the temperature is at least 90--all day.everyday. I'm used to getting in the car and not having to put on the air--just put the windows down and just drive and catch a nice cool breeze...NOPE not down here...A/C is a must!

I've managed to do everything I wasn't supposed to do so far and we've only been down here for like 4 days...its like Vegas though: whatever happens here stays here...bur somethings cab be spoken on...in due time...

..but for now I'm trying to talk about swimming in some of the clearest, most beautiful seawater i've ever seen in my life. I must have been a fish in a past life I swear it!

*peace*love*music**and all the beaches of South Florida*

-- Musiq 'halfcrazy': 1. It's currently spinning on the PoddyPod 2. It makes me think of all the 'maybe' points in my life. Not like in a 'we just didn't work out' sense....like a 'we can't be together' sense...

*peace.love.music*

Last night I had a dream...of a beautiful day...

--apparently cause you're balling out of control, that's excuse enough to drop $2000 on VIP every weekend...

--...apparently not all of us realized that was unattainable/stupid right out of college...

--...TRUST, I can do that no problem....but wtf...EVERY week?? What the fuck for? Ain't nobody impressed...but maybe you...and if it was pulling you that much pussy/dick, you wouldn't have been in 18th street NW arguing with me and others....

--....ball outta control on that

--I love jumbo slices, but damn if they don't give me heartburn

--I feel so old when I mention heartburn

--Shu Shu drives wayy too fast

--Ugh, I hope i'm mostly packed my tomorrow night

--And I hope to never have to move again for awhile

--you can't play a player...and you can't bullshit a bullshitter...

--'Minority Report' was a good movie

--I wonder how the Drake performance was?

--Tabi Bonney was just walking down the street tonight...I guess he doesn't see himself as much of a celebrity as I do. And that's a good thing.

--I was reading about accepting that there is a higher power and forming your own concept of what GOD is...what is your concept?

--GOD is a woman....bam. That's all I got....

note to self...

*never impart words of wisdom on people that either don't deserve it/don't want it*

*a 9-5 Ling is a cranky Ling...steer clear, or head for danger...*

*when you get an office with a door, either get a fan or a headset. Don't be loud and ignorant...talking as loud as possible on speakerphone, turning it all the way up, and leaving the door open...that's why you get the office...PRIVACY*

*NEVER drink coffee on days you wear light colored pants....*

And I know what to do wit it...

1// this warm weather has me feeling so good. Even though it's been hot as hell the last few days, i'm happy to feel the sun on my brown skin...

2// ...well, at least, on the way to work...

3// ...man I miss being in hampton on days like this...the beach was down the street...I didn't have a job, but I had gas in my car and plenty of time on my hands

4// I'm about to be on the ultimate lockdown for pay...new project at work...

5// I'm really trying to get into this new Asher Roth album...idk. It sounds like a compilation of a bunch of mixtape tracks with some new tracks sprinkled in...

....I think I've just been spoiled by 'the greenhouse effect' mixtape...

6// ...sorry Asher...

7// I just bought a ticket for the Incubus concert in August and I am uber excited! I have been trying to see the in concert since I was a freshman in high school. They better not cancel this concert!

8// What the fuck is 'swine flu' and why the fuck is it a worldwide epidemic? They are talking about world markets being drastically effected and people all over dying...over pig contact??? Forreal?? Well I guess the whole world is gonna die...cause as long as there is a need for bacon, pork chops, pork loin, etc. There will be people coming in contact with pigs [whether it be to wrangle, slaughter, whatev] and they will touch peole with they dirty hands...they kids, other farmers, customers...and it will keep spreading....

9// I bet the demand for pork prouducts have been greatly reduced...and you can't even catch it by eating it...

10// People always said swine was dirty...glad I don't eat it...but I'M STILL NOT SAFE!!!

...fucking pork eaters....

11// I had a lady call me 'shy' yesterday*tuesday* for the first time ever. I always try to tell people I'm a shy person and NOONE believes me! I'm glad someone finally recognized it...lol. Why shyness is a great thing, I don't know. I mean, I do have moments when I'm just like 'fuck that shit' and do or say whatever the hell I want, but I'm not like that all the time....lol

12// K-Os' new album *Yes!* == good shit

13// I'm sorry....I don't know about you, but i'm just not a big fan of conversing in the bathroom...especially the bathrooms at work. I'm in there for a personal moment to myself. I'll smile, maybe a quick little 'hi'....but don't expect me to see how life is, how your project is, what color your pee is...no

This lady *who I just met yesterday* ended up in the bathroom at the same time I was in there. When I came out, I smiled, but I guessed she missed that. I was washing my hands and she had just finished up...and she just blurted *with attitude and stink eye* 'sooooo how's it going???' So I turned around and smiled AGAIN and was like 'how you doing?'....this bitch didn't even give a response OR look me in the eye, smile back....NOTHING....piss, wash your hands, leave...I don't even talk to people I know in the bathrooms at work...

....bitch....

14// What is with the new Orbit gum commercial? A british rapper? A whole music video? ....ummm...okay....

15// Big men wearing big, colorful scarves == NOT sexxi




*peace.love.music*

I got plans...I got a certain lust for life

1// sometimes they just don't get it

2// i'm the fuckin BOMB *like tick...tick* I don't wait around for ANYONE. If you decide not to call, text, send a smoke signal, or however you do it in over a week...consider yourself CUT OFF. I've gone thru too much of that shit before....

3// and don't think you can pull a fast one on me....

4// ....EVER....

5// I saw someone mention earlier this week that 'it's safe to say R.Kelly's career is over'. In all honesty, I think it was safe to say that the whole 'Trapped in the Closet' saga was the official funeral of the career of the infamous R-ah...and thank GOD for that!

6// thank god for virtual fridays

7// I'm sad the Suns didn't make it to the finals....

8// ....but I'm still keeping hope alive that they will WIN next year!!!

9// in the meantime, i'm rooting for the nuggets and the hornets in the west...which is hard considering that they are playing against each other in the first round...

10// and the celtics in the east...

11// we finally found an apartment....it's not in the hood *shu, mommie, billy harris*...and it's a decent price...and uber close to the city...anyone wanna come help the movers move our stuff out? Lol

12// kid cudi got a new mixtape out *dat kid from cleveland* is available on www.datnewcudi.com ...I don't think it's as good as the last mixtape *a kid named cudi*...but I LOVE anything Cudi puts out...ANYTHING

13// according to the dude sitting next to me, its stinks really bad when women give birth....ummmmmmmmmmm....why he felt EVERYONE within earshot *which is this whole floor cause he screams on the phone* needed to hear that, I will never understand...

14// I haven't heard any 'new' music in weeks...i'm starting to go thru withdrawal...

15// ...but going back in time and listening to stuff I haven't heard since I was little sure has been fun!

16// i'm debating on whether or not to go to *Rock The Bells* this year. I know it has potential to be one of the best festivals of the year...but...idk. I might go to the Roots Picnic....*sigh*

17// I should have saved my PTO for summer concerts...

18// water under the bridge...

19// I can no long drink my beloved Potomac River Tap water *PRT*. Ling says companies have been dumping various prescription drugs in it and it is definitely in the drinking water. IDK...I grew up on the water..shit...we drink it everywhere we go[restaurants, ice, etc.]...I guess that's why i've loved it so much...anywhoo...better safe than sorry. I bought mad water in jugs at the store. 82¢ for *glorified* Potomac River Tap....

20// my mommie told me today that I treat her like my child...lmao...well, I can't help it, she's my mommie and I'm a big girl now, so I take care of her. Oh, how the roles reverse when we grow older. It's only right since she always listens to me...no matter how crazy I am...or whatever...

And I know what to do wit it...

1// talkers/criticizers and drivers don't mix...

2// while I'd never risk messing panky up *and myself for that matter* I'd be more than willing to do that shit if you bother my while I'm driving...

3// that's why EJ and I work so well together....he knows I won't crash..and to just shut the fuck up...

4// this tub water is soooo warm right now....

5// i'm sorry I don't write my blog for the masses...

6// ...I write for myself and if you read it you read it...

7// ....I clearly have no kinda writing skills...

8// ...but I thought I made all this clear in my blog title...

9// ....guess not...

10// ...now you know.

11// Love was so wack tonight! I'm glad I didn't pay to get in!

12// Slick Rick at Love for a 15 minute set? Well worth the free entry. Poor thing. He really thought people were gonna hype up seeing up seeing him perform...sorry, bruh, I was more excited seeing Biz Markie spinning in the DJ booth.

13// McDonald's is so bad for you...but damn if it don't taste good as hell at 3 am!

14// hopefully this man will be speaking the right tune tomorrow, cause if he not, he better give me my fucking money back and shove that apartment up his ass

15// one day, Love gonna be less famous for their celebrity sightings and more for the hot wings sold right out front...

16// I crave them...and I don't even eat meat

17// they should rename Easter 'Heathen Visitation Day' cause everyone I saw tonight will be in there Sunday...but no other days following...

18// ...and guaranteed there will be 3 holy ghost catchings, 6 falling outs, 9 recommittments, dozens new followers of christ, and about 5 new members of the church...

19// ..and none of them will be christians come monday afternoon...

20// I'm just sayin...

*peace.love.music*

Never ask for permission just ask for forgiveness...

1// well aparently I need to take my own damn advice...yet again...

2// I need to take other people's advice as well..

3// Sometimes it's best to not say anything at all » Shu

...Shu sits around so quietly...just 'peeping' the scene...or something...I always wonder what she is thinking about and why she is so quiet...I wish I could be like that...

4// I'm trying to look at life les pessimistically and more optimistically » TT

...now, I have managed to take this advice more often than not....but one of my friends finds a way to see the negative in EVERYTHING and wants you to know EXACTLY what she is complaining about. *ugh* did we all used to be like that? If we were, please forgive me...

5// Being an asshole is cute and funny all the time, but there is a seriously fine line between being an asshole and completely disrespectful

6// When I tell you something as mean and harsh as 'do not talk to me anymore', I mean that shit. That means don't call/text/IM me. If you see me in the streets, act like you don't know me. I thought I made myself clear. If you're that worried about what i'm doing and why i'm doing it, you're acting bitch made...and I don't have time for that shit anymore...

7// If you're that in need to see/hang out with me, you make the plans! If I wanted to hang out with you, I'd make the plans myself. I HATE that! Obviously i'm not that pressed...and you need to get your life together...

8// EJ is a fucking soldier...forreal

9// I have just as much of an addiction to midwest men as I do to DMV men...yumm...lol

10// Bumping UGS??? Wow...and La'rae says I only know ebonics...

11// Of all the music that I received this week, the one album I keep listening to has been on my iPod for months and I never gave it a chance...until I heard a song on a mixtape...and go figure: a bitch happened to use one of the lines from the song on me last week...now I can't stop listening to the whole album...

12// seems like any and everything can give me heartburn nowadays...i'ma have to keep pepto on hand from now on...

13// Sometimes I wish I could flashback to days when things were soooo simple..

14// Itching is soooo contageous!

*peace.love.music*

I don't *heart* mondays...

1// NOTE TO SELF: screening new albums while tired at work....not the best choice...

2// What exactly is Charles Hamilton trying to do? He went and cut his hair, put on some nice clothes, and stopped whining *for the most part*...then put out a new mixtape. And it actually sounds pretty good...wow...cause his last few mixtapes were not as good as people made them out to be...it's nice he is trying to grow up a taste...

3// ...now if only he will stop trying to sing...leave the singing to Brandon...he's so much better at it...

4// ...I should have slept in this morning...

5// this waking up early thing is for the birds

6// air conditioning in the workplace is a pretty stupid concept...

7// ...and why does my desk always seem to end up right under the vent?!?!

8// I miss DC soul artists...

9// How does a 13 year old manage to make it all the way to Texas from VA in a big ass pick up and trailer carrying 2 horses? One: it had to take him over a day to get there. When he stopped, why didn't anyone ask how old he was and why his parents weren't with him? Two: how big is this 13 year old? He has to be a big lil bastard to not be caught driving all that distance. Three: who taught this lil bastard to drive? Shouldn't his parents be arrested for teaching him to drive? Video games couldn't have taught him to drive like that....

...I swear kids are growing up entirely too fast nowadays...

10// ...wow...i'm listening to the Jetsetters mixtape and and I swear I just heard Drake rap a line that sounded exactly like something a bitch ass n**g@ said to me last week...smh...it's sad he couldn't even come up with a decent excuse on his own...well that's to be expected from a bitch...

11// ...that Drake song was good though...

12// I have a thing for midwest rappers...

13// If you feel you need to tell me how to achieve my goals and you just met me, it's not going to work...

14// I keep losing all my lip chap...

15// The cherry blossoms are so pretty...but what is the point of a festival? They had absolutely nothing going on yesterday and yet, people were out in DROVES! Idk...I would definitely go out there and take lounge under the trees on a warm day...but everyone was out there just walking around like they had never seen trees before...smh

16// la'rae snores so fucking loud...lmao

17// it seems like people pack into Ben's Chilli Bowl hoping to see Obama walk in for lunch again..as much as I love him, I'm mad he made my favorite place in DC so damn popular

18// the African Art Museum is a lil hidden treasure within the Smithsonian system. That's a museum that I could stand to go to over and over again...

19// all this new music is making my monday seem a bit better

20// FLA in t-minus 2 1/2 months!!!

*peace.love.music*

And I don't need no hook for this SHIIIIIIIT....

1// it's 5 am and i'm writing this blog....HHHEEEYYYY!

2// I have managed to learn so much over the past few days alone...

3// I *heart* my new phone! Buttons!!! Nothing like it! Touch screens aren't as flyy as everyone makes them out to be. I can text and drive safely again...

4// EJ's birthday was thursday...whoooo! He's old! Like 30 or something....lol...nah, he's like 23-24...

5// I've come to the conclusion that I really need to stop dating until further notice..like forreal. Apparently I break hearts, I get my heart broken, and it's just a no-win situation all around for all parties involved...

6// So if I've dated you in the past...or if you see me in the streets and your name isn't *EJ*TT*La'rae*Vonneezy*Billy* then do us all a favor and lose my number and forget you ever knew me...

7// ....thank you....

8// 'Leave It All Behind' is one of the best albums I have in my collection right now.

9// I got my own, boo, I don't need none of yours...

10// Apparently I'm fast...and mean...

11// ...not even...on both accusations...

12// I just realized i'm completely over the club scene...cept Adams Morgan...

13// i'm so glad it's getting warm!

14// i'm just saying...BEEP BEEP!

15// ....8 am wake ups to drive a spritely recovered drunkard is not what's poppin...

16// 2-3 hours of sleep would never make me that peppy

17// today is shaping up to be a nice day

18// I'm thirsty...

19// ...why is 'Pimp My Ride' on my television?

20// I'm going back to sleep...
