Even number years are never very good for me for whatever reason and this was no exception.

I mean don’t get me wrong, it didn’t suck as much as 2002 for instance. No one close to me died, but it wasn’t a cakewalk either. I was pretty selfish this year. Alot of things were all about me. I tried to be happy for my friends, hell I was HAPPY for them, but inside I felt like a failure. A real, true failure.

Now this year approaches with a great deal of uncertainty. I mean on one hand I have something REALLY positive on the horizon, at the very START of the year no less. Then on the flip side, I don’t know how I’m going to make it financially past the first month of the year.

I’m sitting here watching The 40 Year Old Virgin and the chick just admitted she was a grandmother. How weird was that?

Anyway man, I realize that even when I try to be frugal I waste too much money. When I try to be nice, I end up pissing folks off or getting screwed over. Whatever my intentions, I end up getting the opposite result. I feel like George Costanza!

I’m going to watch season 2 of the Wire!

Man, the best thing about the holiday season is getting up with your friends and talking about old times and new times and just generally shooting the breeze. That’s what went down last night.

Well that’s not ALL that went down, but it was for damn sho the highlight!

Last night the old crew known as the “four flats (and a spare)” which consists of the homies Nile, Maurice, Reggie, Smallwood, and myself achieved an official quorem (any 4 of the 5) at the Hooters on Peachtree.

Our waitress was OUTSTANDING, she was what you think of when you think of hooters, from pouring our drinks to making small talk to even crackin jokes on the sly about ONE of our sweater vests (I’ll leave him anonymous).

We talked about progress on my book (oh yes there will be a book) and the fact that I’m considering tapping out of “the game” completely. Chicks frustrate me and take advantage of me and well….I’m tired of it. I would elaborate, but honestly it’s the same old story….the chick….isn’t even worth mentioning further here….it just made me realize how futile it all is.

Anyway, thanks to Baby J who was the first to realize this joint was down for awhile….that’ll prolly happen again around the same time next year!

I guess I just watched too much TV….

Roller Coasters are one of my favorite things in life. I can’t believe that looking back on my life there was a time where I was AFRAID of even getting on them. They bring me so much pleasure now.

For some people it’s the ups and downs, the twists and turns, the loops that thrill them. For me the most thrilling part, the part that absolutely TERRIFIES me, is the lift hill.

Yeah you read that right. The lift hill is when I close my eyes and when my heart pounds and when I’m the most anxious. As I climb higher and higher, I think, what if the coaster gets stuck ALMOST at the top of the hill and I never get to experience the rest of the ride and I’m stuck up here all day and god forbid the workers have to climb all 123424texas232 of these steps and manually get me off.

As I get strapped in and they give the all clear to send us out of the station, that’s when my heart starts pounding because that’s when I relinquish control. And then it’s up, up, and away.

And when I finally come off of the lift hill, I enjoy the rest of the ride completely, balls to the wall. I let loose totally because there is no more anxiety, just the fun and wind racing into my face.

Then I end back up in the station house, if I like the ride enough I’ll get back on for another adventure, if it gave me a headache I’ll move on, but at least I can say I experienced it. And on and on it goes, but ultimately I’m in search of the perfect roller coaster, the one I could ride again and again above all others. One that isn’t SO far like the Millennium Force or X at Magic Mountain. No, one a little closer to home like the Goliath at Six Flags Over Georgia. I mean I guess I could move to Ohio or to California eventually, but not for a ride you know?

I mean at this point, I’m not in a position to travel and live life like that riding every coaster in the country, but when I can, I do you know?….if only I can get past that lift hill.

Roller Coasters are alot like love…..

You know how it goes down, I ask the questions…and by this point in doing this thing I know they are hard no matter HOW easy I think they are….but you know…those are the breaks….

Since I have to manually approve comments ANYWAY, I will just wait a week before I post ANY comments whether the answers are right or wrong. (If this is your first time leaving a comment, DO NOT be alarmed if it doesn’t post or even if you don’t get a notice telling you it will be posted….IT WILL, just trust me) If you are REALLY pressed I’ll reply with an email, but then again if you are pressed about THIS, you need to prolly examine some things in your life.

You win…the satisfaction of knowing you are as much of a couch potato as I am….for whatever that’s worth…

Good luck, and once again, leave the answers in the comments section and don’t worry if it doesn’t show up immediately, I will post them a week from now!

For years, I’ve touted the Wedding Episode of A Diffferent World as the best episode of a television show I’d ever seen. I mean if you think about it, years of storylines culminated to one event that was satisfactory to almost every faithful viewer of the show. It was perfectly scripted, perfectly played out, just perfect….and I never thought I’d see anything else in my life that gave me close to the feeling I felt and still feel when I watch it.

That is until tonight’s season finale of The Wire (Episode 50 OnDemand….it airs for everyone else with HBO on Sunday at 9 PM and I’ll be watching it again probably for the 5th time).

The Wire has been one of my favorites since I discovered it and watched a whole season in a day. The level of quality to the episodes and the series has been high from day one, and everytime it ends you wonder how they can top it.

Well this particular season finale transcends all episodes of the show. Seriously, it’s that good. It’s THAT good.

I got chills as I watched it at points. I’ve never really been one of those to CONNECT with a character or characters on a show, but I genuinely care(d) about characters on this show.

Each episode this season has ramped up the suspense, but also ramped up the quality and thereby my expectations.

From START to FINISH this episode was PERFECT. True the outcome wasn’t as I would have written it, but it was even better. There were moments that made me smile and warmed my heart, and then there were moments that I wanted to cry.

I’m almost afraid to watch “regular” television now. My only silver lining is that we get a fifth and final season of the show next year. I don’t know if it’ll be as good as this one, I hope it is, but I don’t see how.

The closest feeling I’ve ever felt to this was the Braves winning the World Series or the Falcons making it to the Super Bowl. It’s a mix of “damn that felt great” and “now what”. I never thought a television show could make me feel that way!

I know things are going alright in Killaville when I’m having good dreams. I swear even if I can never make these dreams come true about this chick, the dreams are ALMOST enough…ALMOST. I don’t think I can stand to dream about her too much more though.

Anyway, Thanksgiving was great. It was great seeing the family again. It’ll be even better when Christmas rolls around. If you can find my or Che’s facebook pages you might even be able to see some pictures from it!

Yesterday against my better judgement I ordered some Chinese food. I was craving it, even though I know that the sesame chicken was probably NOWHERE NEAR chicken, it’s all good, if cat or rat can taste like that then maybe I need to broaden my horizons. Okay….I even made MYSELF sick with that last statement, maybe I’m taking it too far.

I’m going to a sports bar to check out the football games today. Hopefully they’ll have a beer special because the Killa can’t afford to spend ANY money!

I know the Falcons better win today or….well….I’ve already got my fan resignation letter ready, let’s put it that way.

This is a glorified random entry….I know this….just hang in there with me for awhile longer.

I don’t remember whether I purchased two years or one for the domain, but I think it’s about time to check. I don’t want the site to go down again like it did last year!

How young is too young? Legal? BARELY legal?

Hahahaha, what a note to leave off on!
