Snapping back to reality

"...Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back..." Those of ya'll that remember the Welcome Back Kotter theme music should've been singing along! And no, I never watched the show...but the theme song was tight!

Ahhh, back at the office after 5 days off. Back in my nice ergonomically correct chair, looking at the 2 pictures of my beautiful daughter on my desk, glimpsing at all the crap I've got tacked onto the walls of my cubicle...YO, WHO DA F*** TORE MY SOCCER SCHEDULE OFF THE WALL AND DIDN'T BOTHER PUTTING THAT S*** BACK?!?!?! "breathing" counting to 10. 1-2-3-4-5-6...WHO THE HELL CHANGED THE STATION ON MY STEREO?!?! AWW HELL NAW. Don't these white folks know that you NEVER...EVER, EVER, FA-NEVER-EVER, touch a black man's radio!?!?! Needless to say, I'm a bit pissed. Apparently the new guy here at the office uses my workstation during the day since he doesn't have a PC at his desk. Look, I'm all for the 'team concept' but RESPECT MY SHIT, SON!!! Sorry, I will normally try to censor myself (I know I'm a foul-mouthed M.F.) but when you disrespect my space...that's disrespecting me. Homey don't play dat!

Now, on to my vacation:

The fam (Wifey, daughter, brother, brother's lady, Moms) and I went to a Labor Day gathering at the home of one of Wifey's Aunts. **Side note, Wifey and I are considered the 'outcasts' by her family because we don't choose to spend EVERY holiday with them. And I've even been accused of brain washing my wife against her family. Yeah, I'm good...but I ain't THAT good.** Anyhow, to make a long story short: we were actually welcomed into the fold, for a change, and had a very enjoyable time. Thanksgiving is around the corner, let's hope for 2 in a row.

Before I go, some random thoughts:

Halle's having a baby...with a white boy. Why am I NOT surprised...

Shaq filed for divorce. Man I don't care what she did...have you seen Shaunie O'Neal? She's had 5 kids (4 with Shaq) and looks like THAT!?!!?!?!?!?!? Unless she shot my Momz, I'm staying with that!

If you haven't seen "Californication" on Showtime, you're missing the best new show of the summer. Duchovny is brilliant.

FOOTBALL SEASON IS HERE...THANK GOD!!!

Big shout out to my good friend in Heath, TX who told me I'd been on 'vacation' too long and to get back to writing!

one more thing: My boy runs THE best hip-hop blogsite in the south...and yes, you may see some ramblings from me there from time to time. Check the link over in my 'stuff I like' section or hit up http://www.bgdboom.blogspot.com/
