So the other day, I bought a body pillow. Man, I have missed the support and embrace of that wonderful device. Put it in between your legs and arms; it will give you the support my body has longed for in a couple of years. I remember the first time I had a body pillow.....
I heard some guy in Korea married his body pillow. What the hell is wrong with people. I just shared my love for body pillows, but I would never go that far....or maybe
What I love about life is that we are constantly learning. This weekend I learned the space between your genitail and anus is called the perineum. Slang terms its the grundle or gooch.
It got me to thinking about the things between all of us relationally. The obvious is always the sex thing. Billy Crystal said, " Man and women cannot just be friends because of the sexual tension." (that is not an exact quote). I always found that true. We could be friends like lets eat dinner and stuff, but not everyday talking on the phone or meeting up all the time. We can't be close friends. I know there are exceptions, but I think this is a general statement.
The other relationship that has intrigued me is the heirarchy at work. We really can't have be friends with our boss. We always have the separation of "damn, this guy pays me therefore he kind of owns my life." Its a good separation. Bosses shouldn't be like Michael Scott from The Office. I see one of my bosses at work. He is nice and friendly, but he has the aire of distinction. Personally, I would never want to be friends unless we were equals. Plus he seems like a dick sometime.
Can we ever get past those things in between us? Should we try? Do I even know what the hell I am talking about? Probably not.
Yesterday, we had a meeting at work to go over somethings. This guy lets call him Jimmy. Well Jimmy is a who does have experience and is good at our job. Hes not the best, but certainly not the worst. He is also a pretty good guy. Heres the problem. He just will not shut the hell up.
This guy in our meetings, where we have no where to run or hide, will keep talking. The managers do interupt him, but he has advice to give us everyday. At one point your like, "Shut the Fuck up!" (sorry for the vulgar language, but I feel its appropiate)
I got kind into it with this guy yesterday in the meeting. He says something and I was like no your wrong. The manager takes the approach of "well your both right". After about five minutes, Jimmy tries to defend his point he said earlier. He asks me a question. I say "Are you asking me?" He nods. I basically told him, "I dont want to get into an argument. Let's keep this short"(in a condescending way, people laughed and I made him look stupid. By that time, it was already an hour into the meeting.) He was quiet the rest of the meeting.
This morning a co-worker asked me "Is it just me or do you feel like shooting yourself everytime Jimmy talks?"
Shutting the face is hard for all of us. Many times we go a little too long. We need maybe a shot clock sometimes or the wrap it up box.......
Adele has come out with a new album. She is a white girl from England, who sounds like a black girl from the South at least when she sings. Her last album 19 was pretty good, which included an incredible cover of Bob Dylan's Make You Feel My Love . He new album 21 is better. No sophmore slump for her.
I listened to the album a couple times in the car and her voice echos through your soul.By far my favorite song is "He Won't Go", She paints a vivid picture of a man and a woman needing each other. Almost brought me to tears, but Im a Man and men dont cry or have feelings.
This album is well crafted and worked. The production is great and I really enjoyed it.
Heres the lyrics to "He Won't Go".
Some say I'll be better without you, But they don't know you like I do, Or at least the sides I thought I knew, I can't bear this time, It drags on as I lose my mind, Reminded by things I find, Like notes and clothes you've left behind, Wake me up, wake me up when all is done, I won't rise until this battle's won, My dignity's become undone, But I won't go, I can't do it on my own, If this ain't love, then what is? I'm willing to take the risk, I won't go, I can't do it on my own, If this ain't love, then what is? I'm willing to take the risk, So petrified, I'm so scared to step into this ride, What if I lose my heart and fail the climb? I won't forgive me if I give up trying, I heard his voice today, I didn't know a single word he said, Not one resemblance to the man I met, Just a vague and broken boy instead, But I won't go, I can't do it on my own, If this ain't love, then what is? I'm willing to take the risk, I won't go, I can't do it on my own, If this ain't love, then what is? I am willing to take the risk, There will be times, we'll try and give it up, Bursting at the seams, no doubt, We'll almost fall apart and burn the pieces, And watch them turn to dust, But nothing will ever taint us, I won't go, I can't do it on my own, If this ain't love, then what is? I'm willing to take the risk, I won't go, I can't do it on my own, If this ain't love, then what is? I am willing to take the risk, Will he, will he still remember me? Will he still love me even when he's free? Or will he go back to the place where he will choose the poison over me? When we spoke yesterday, He said to hold my breath and sit and wait, I'll be home so soon, I won't be late, He won't go, He can't do it on his own, If this ain't love, then what is? He's willing to take the risk, So I won't go, He can't do it on his own, If this ain't love, then what is? I'm willing to take the risk,
Charlie Sheen is amazing. I love that he is just telling it how he thinks it is. Hes winning.
Thought this painting was cool. Its called Venus Envy. I guess its saying that women have the privilege of giving birth.

I saw this article and thought, "Man, even this guy could get married!"
A happy ending to farmer's anus woes Source: Global Times [20:27 February 27 2011] Comments
A farmer from Jiayu county of Hubei Province has lived 55 years without an anus, after being born with congenital anal atresia in the Wuhan Union Hospital. But now doctors have reshaped a new fundament for him in January.
Wu previously endured a 0.5-centimeter diameter surgical hole, or stomas, near his urethra for excrement, through which he could squeeze stools out with his hands. Wu had to pay attention to the food he ate, avoid constipation and was a frequent user of laxatives.
The dilemma left him very thin but it did not prevent him getting married and having children.
As his economic situation improved, Wu went to the Wuhan Hospital at the end of last year, where Dr Li Zhibiao examined him and framed operation plans. Wu accepted an artificial anus, and three days later, could excrete like normal people.
We have become a nonconfrontational society. It is taboo to confront someone especially in public. We have become a society where men are not men anymore. Men have become a shadow of what we use to be. We have become people who are afraid to say no to someone.
The computer has placed a big part in this. The computer is great for most things like looking up an address, seeing who that guy was in that movie, stalking a girl and etc. It has made us scared and we are not able to express our emotions in public as well as we use to.
E-mail has hurt us. It has made people more cowardly. I got an Email one time from this guy saying he didnt appreciate what I did to him. I apologized, but I had to ask, "Why couldn't you just tell me in person?" With our friends especially, we should be able to express our feelings in person. We should have a bond that is deeper than Facebook Chat.
It has made me more timid. I feel like I shouldn't tell a person this because it might hurt their feelings. Should we live that way....Probably not.... We have to live boldly and not be afraid of confrontation. Many times it will hash things out and make us stronger people.
Real talk: Maybe we should just have some intestinal fortitude. Another word: Grow some balls.
Some days we just have to go HAM(Hard As a Motherf****). Life as an adult is pretty monotonous. We go to work, go home, maybe do something at night and then we wake up the next day to do it again. It feels like we are stuck in a Groundhog day. Life gets boring or it just beats the crap out of us. It makes us so weary and I feel that sometimes we can lose ourselves. We have to go HAM.
Every now and then we gots to get a little bit crazy and wild to keep our sanity.
Sometimes I just feel like yelling. Its just this primal urge to just yell. Ill go to some place where nobody is and just yell. Same with hitting stuff. Its very cathartic.
I urge everyone to go HAM and as Roscoe Dash (rapper) says in the song "No Hands" "ill be going ham, upgrade from bologna." You guys can shake your head at that for being so corny. My bad.
My family came down to visit me this weekend. It was kind of a last minute thing. My uncle and cousin , who is like a brother to me, fly to Philly and decided to drive down with my mom and grandmom. Its a 12 hr drive. My uncle gave the rationale of "meh... what are we gonna do in Philly"( he lived there before).
Thinking about family, its just amazing. The fact is that you can choose your friends, but you cant choose your family. You cant really get rid of them either. Even if you hate them, they will always be a part of you. Even looking in the mirror will remind you of at least somebody there. We can fall away from our friends and break up with our spouses, but we will never get rid of our family. Many times we treat our family members like shit, but you know what its ok. They will always be our family.
My family is a little crazy..........Yeah and thats all I have to say on that.
One of my fondest moments of family was three years ago during the week of Christmas and New Years. My twin uncles, cousin, mom, grandmom and I were altogether for the first time in like 10 years. We just hung out with each other. Yes we did get into a fight and yes we did have arguments. But it was also one of the best times in my life. Family makes you want to kill yourself and also makes feel blessed to have people you love so much.

Things that make me want to kick people in the Face:
1. Turning or merging into my lane without using the turn signal. All you have to do is move your one finger and hit the thing. Dont be a jerk just do it.
2. Black people who always blame racism for a problem. How come asians and mexicans don't use that excuse, because were too busy working.
3. The stupid basketball player- has all the skills and atheletism in the world but is there shooting 3s.
4. Girls who look nothing like they do in pictures- I give you a lot of credit, but I hate being fooled.
5. The guy who goes eats your food in the company fridge. Come on you know which one is your stuff.
6. The older lady who wears clothes that belong to 20 yr old girls. Stay in your lane homie.
7. The person who created Peeps, cause I love them and they make you fat.
