worked. came home. took a nap. was asked to saute some collard greens. so i did. they were so yummy. if you wanna try it out. its SIMPLE. saute onions and garlic in a pan with olive oil. add greens. add chicken broth. season to your liking. cover and let simmer for 45 minutes or until tender. and EAT! nom nom nom…
and they are all gone.
who came up with “keeping up with the joneses”? why must it be the joneses…why not the browns or the poindexters or the rockefellers or the gates’? i have always wondered this…maybe someone can tell me…..
why can hookas that aint got no ambition or drive lay on their backs…bust a million nuts…have babies and get to sit home ALL DAY…have no rent…get free medical care…get free food…and in some instances free cash…man im FINALLY convinced that i chose the WRONG path in life…i shoulda just been a LOOSE COCK WHORE and had babies…
has a guy ever came up to you when you were going into a club and tried to convince you NOT to go in by saying the following…”hey shawty…you should let me treat you to a nice candle lit dinner at the waffle house cause they charging bout 30 dollars to get in the club and ain’t nobody in there gonna pay attention to you like i will”? does he NOT KNOW that OUTKAST said that…and i KNOW music…so the ISH is even more funny…po thang…STEP YO GAME UP…fo real…
interesting day. boring picture. on the phone before bed. looking a mess.
today i went to a Relay for Life event that was held here in my city. for those that dont know. Relay for Life is an activity held by the American Cancer Society that offers EVERYONE in the community a chance to participate in the fight against cancer. teams of people camp out at a local high school, park or fairground and take turns walking or running around a track or path. the purpose if for people to get out, have fun and raise funds to fight cancer and raise awareness of cancer prevention and treatment.
according to the Relay for Life website. the event represents the hope that those lost to cancer will NEVER be forgotten, that those who face cancer will be supported, and that one day cancer will be eliminated.
i lost my grandmother Cynthia R. Presley to cervical cancer on May 15, 2003. she is my favorite person EVER. when she passed i went through a very rough DEEP depression. i was a mess. i fell apart. i became a person that i didnt like. i was ANGRY at everyone. anytime i saw people with their grandmothers, i was JEALOUS. it is almost the six year mark and this is the FIRST year that i have been okay. when her birthday came around February 7 this year. i was not sad. i didnt cry. i didnt hide from people. i was celebrating her. who would have known that it would take so long for me to FINALLY be okay.
anyway at the event today i snapped a few pics. these pics are of nothing in particular just random crap.
for starters today was a BEAUTIFUL day.
this is the cake that was there for participants to eat. i didnt get any, but it was very pretty. to me at least
olive garden catered the lunch
i met this officer and his partner. he is the “pot” cop. ha ha ha ha ha. he and his partner are made up of flower pots. i thought this was too creative. it was a center piece on one of the tables. i was even able to bring the dog home with me.
this was the lap of survivors; people that had been diagnosed with cancer. got treatment. and are still living. this has nothing to do with survivors, but there was a lady there whose husband passed away TWO DAYS AGO from prostate cancer. my heart ached for her. there was also a lady who was sitting at the lunch table with us whose husband was a survivor of bladder cancer. got sick thought it was just a cold. finally she convinced him to go to the doctor and they found out that he had lung cancer. by the time they found it it was already stage four. he passed away three months after that. and this is the kicker. there was a lady there what was a lung cancer survivor and she was smoking cigarettes. that broke my heart.
here are more survivors. if you know me, then you know i have no problem walking up to a complete stranger and engaging them in conversation. talking to so many of the people made me happy to know that they survived but it also made me very sad and somewhat jealous because my grandmother didn’t make it. i felt like a selfish brat for thinking that way. and kicked myself in the temple (yeah i know, im flexible) and said “snap out of it, this is a celebration; stop tripping and enjoy yourself”
i dont know this young man but seeing his picture and KNOWING that he has a potentially terminal illness made me tear up a bit. by the way, the youngest cancer survivor at the event today was a 12 year old.
i thought this was too cool. so cool i made it my picture of the day. whomever debra is, God bless her heart. this took A LOT of patience.
i dont know who told this person that this was cute. but i HAD to take a picture of it.
i have mentioned to people that i live in the country and i have the ULTIMATE proof that its SUPER country. where else in the world would you find this? a POOL full of HAY. ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. now if that isnt country, then i dont know what is.
saw this at an event that i attended today. i thought it was SUPER COOL. i love art and creative people.
this is a TOTALLY random post. its all over the place and has nothing to do with anything. thats just how i roll.
my friend mike got some good news today. dana (DNA) says he IS NOT the father. ha ha ha ha ha.
anyway. a co-worker of mine wants to see this. so this is for you Todd.
i just have one question. well actually two. why didnt someone stop her. and why are they encouraging this behavior. WE have got to do better.
anyway.
i came across some random pictures that i snapped with pinky (my sony dsc w50) and no its not pink, its actually silver. i am a very odd person. not that everyone didnt know that already.
this first picture was taken in the restroom of a restaurant.
one day i came home and emptied my bag onto the floor because i couldnt find something. and this picture showed me just why i was having difficulties finding what i needed. and YES, those are wife beaters IN MY BAG. what do NORMAL people typically keep in their bags?
once again. i worked today. came home. went to bed super early at about 9:00 pm. i took my pic before i went to sleep but didnt post it. its now 2:48 am. and i am awake posting my picture. nothing special. just a photo booth pic of me laying in bed being DUMB.
