You know sometimes you just have to write when you feel like it….

- I think sometimes I can be a real asshole, like walking around with headphones on to avoid conversations with people that I don’t feel like talking to….sometimes I’m not even listening to anything….

- I think there is no better sound than Chaka Khan on Through The Fire…except maybe Whitney Houston in the last 40 seconds or so of I’m Every Woman….

- I think I’m going to utterly dominate at least 2 of the 4 yahoo fantasy leagues I’m a part of this year….

- I think I’m not lacking for self confidence lately….

- I think these dark times me and the homies are going through right now are a precursor to some fucking fantastic shit….just you wait!

- I think if you are missing my musical notes on Facebook you are missing some of my best writing in a long time….

- I think I need to figure out how to import those bad boys to the home base here….

- I think Facebook needs to stop showing me these former crushes on the “people you might know” list….I don’t wanna see her…or her…or her!!

- I think Usain Bolt is kind of scary….

- I think our gymnasts got robbed….

- I think I watched WAAAAAAAAAY more olympics than I planned….

- I think Jo Fenn and Jade Johnson are my two favorite discoveries of the Olympics….to borrow from the late Bernie Mac….CLAUDE have mercy!

- I think I HATE corny dudes….

- I think Twitter is officially my new addiction….

- I think I shouldn’t get my hopes up too high….

- I think it’s hard not to though….my nose is so wide open….

- I think this is a good place to stop….

I think because it’s Baby Che’s birthday, but I was reminiscing something serious today!

Like I pulled out my Senior Yearbook from the Lake as well as my little Senior Memories book and read my various notes from people and looked at pictures. So many memories of things I had forgotten about! So many notes that had hidden messages that I’m JUST NOW beginning to understand. So many missed signals and chances, oh well, damn you cryptic women!

It’s funny how many people told me to keep in touch, and how many of them I’ve COMPLETELY lost touch with. People that were REALLY my GOOD, CLOSE friends back then, merely afterthoughts. Even now as I type this entry, the words they said float like so much smoke in the reservoirs of my mind.

I guess I should be extremely thankful for the likes of Elenda and Nile who I pretty regularly keep up with.

So to bite from Peter King on CNN-Sports Illustrated….

9 Things I Think I Think…(hope he doesn’t have that copywrited!)

1) Upon further review and evaluation, the Class of 98 still wins for highest quality AND quantity of females…though I realize that 95 appreciated pretty well in a few cases….I still wonder if she really did make him skeet to the ceiling!

2) I wish I had a PS3 right now, because I’d definitely be in line to get GTA4….and Rock Band! They say it’s the best game ever. Like EVER, ever! I don’t know why, but I believe them, whoever they are!

3) I can’t be any more excited about going to North Carolina this weekend! I’m so proud of Nina P., I don’t think I can overstate this! I think this weekend is going to be one of those that goes down in history.

4) The only thing Falcons Draft related that I’ll say is that I really hope we don’t look back at this draft and feel like we should have picked Glenn Dorsey over Matt Ryan when he gets a 3 sack day against him….I really hope that doesn’t happen….oh, also, I’m tired of the up and down with the Braves right now, but I guess that’s part of fandom….and I’ll take that win over Boston! Wasn’t expecting it, but I’LL TAKE IT…and now I want more!

5) “See it ain’t nothing wrong with dreaming but (sic) girl don’t get me wrong/cuz everytime I see you it lets me know just how strong/that my love is for my baby/but emotions just don’t lie/well I know I’m alot of (sic) man/but not enough to divide the pie” - Sometimes I’m just in a Next Lifetime mood…

6) I can’t wait for the next live performance of Small Axe….I really enjoyed that Saturday night! I need to get out and see live music more often.

7) For the most part I was raised right….unless your name is Boogs and you are still holding a grudge even though I apologized! Check out what the Very Smart Brothas have to say about chivalry!

When my thoughts become more coherent about the upcoming bloody summer in Chicago and the Sean Bell Verdict I’ll write about them each…right now I’m too flustered about both to say anything meaningful!

9) Roll call! If you read this rag, just say hey!….don’t be shy!
