Going Back Home...Pirate Roundup

A friend has pretty much scolded me for not keeping up with this blog, so I figured I better get typing before I get reamed for real! A lot of good, positive things have been happening for me, which I feel good about. I got a chance to go back home (Wash. DC area) to see Moms, my bros for life, and just take it easy. My mother was quite happy to see me, as well as the boys. We didn't get into too much trouble lol!! It was just good to go back to where it all started, reminisce, and appreciate the current stage of life you are in.

The power of the mighty internet...There is a new alumni website for my college called the pirateroundup.com. Whomever created this addictive website, knew exactly what they were doing lol! Overall, I think it is a wonderful idea, and I have gotten the opportunity to reconnect with my peeps that I have lost touch with over the years. It is so interesting to see some of your friends all grown with families, responsibilities, etc. There are some folk on there by which I wasn't happy to see, but I won't go into that...

Well, I am back, and I going to make a more conscious effort to stay consistent on this thing because it really clears my mind in the crazy world we live in these days!!

Coming Up: If this isn't a recession, what do you call it???
Take it Easy!!

Spring Is Here!!

Finally had to go outside and cut the grass. I didn't want to be "that house", who still hasn't cut their grass! Cutting the grass is always a crap shoot because you never know if you have gas in the mower, or even if the mower is going to work. I don't know what's going with me but since I went out there and cut the grass, my skin has been itching and I got a little sunburned. I really don't understand that...but along with the allergies, weeds, bugs, and longer days...I am still glad that Spring is here. I guess I will finally have to get some sunblock lotion. I have never used that ever in my life...when I get that, maybe I will invest in that George Foreman outdoor grill, and start really enjoying the outdoors!!

Marvin Pentz Gay

Today marks the birth of one of the greatest Soul singers to ever grace us. Marvin Gaye has to be one of the smoothest brothers to ever go behind a microphone. Even though his life tragically ended by his father, his music still lives on today. "I Want You", "Let's Get It On", "I Heard It Through The Grapevine" and "After The Dance" are some of my favorites. What are some of yours? Any true singer in today's music scene always say that this man was a major influence. Marvin Gaye, we miss you brother!
