Today when I got home from Pathology I felt exactly like Stimpson J. Cat. I saw a note on my door indicating that Federal Express had been by to deliver my computer and it was waiting on me in the office. I opened the box and at first I was nervous, as there were no recovery disks of any sort, then I read the instructions and you actually BURN the recovery disks onto DVD-R’s! How great is that?
So yeah, I’m feeling pretty good. I want to wish a happy belated birthday to the homie Tasha. As I told her yesterday, she doesn’t look a day over 19. I hope she recovered okay from her first ever tequila shot last night.
This weekend I’m going to clean up! No excuses. No more delaying. It has to happen now or never!
Anyway here are the Friday Five….the best in awhile….
You have just won one million dollars:
1. Who do you call first? My mother and/or my sisters….
2. What is the first thing you buy for yourself? (after immediately paying off my student loans and any future Meharry money) A BMW 528i.
3. What is the first thing you buy for someone else? I’ll buy my mom a new car so Che can get the Explorer.
4. Do you give any away? If yes, to whom? Yes, I’d give some money to Morehouse and to my childhood church and I’d put aside money for my godson P.J.’s college education.
5. Do you invest any? If so, how? Whatever’s left after the above expenditures I would invest in some nice safe mutual funds. Nowadays, a million dollars isn’t NEARLY enough money to stop working or anything like that.

First I call my wife, then my mother.
I buy a house. Next, the 2004 4.6 Range. The difference between that and the 4.0? Ask the Jigga!
I buy my wife a 500 series luxury Benz. The difference between the 500 and 600 series? Shiaaaat.
I give 100k to my mother, 100k to my father, 100k to my brother. This is assuming I get a full 1million. If I have to pay that gay ass gift tax, then it’s 50k a person. Then I put 100k away for my kids. Actually I do that first, then go on down the line.
I invest most of the rest and put some in a checking account for everyday use. I should have about 300-400k left to invest and do what I want with, so that should be plenty.
On a completely different note-you should appreciate this Cal. I was watching The Cosby Show, and it was the one where Rudy got her 1st period. Well, she’s talking to fine ass Phelicia Rashad and is like, “Today was the most embarrassing day of my life. I was sitting in the middle of class, and the teacher is going over punctuation, and I get my first period.”
I should be fucking smacked, because after all these years, I just NOW paid attention to and GOT that joke. Of all the humor in the world to skate over.
One.

One Million huh?
First I’d call my husband and my parents (probably 3way)
Then, I’d go for a new construction house
Then I’d get my husband a car, so that I can have mine back. Something family-ish, but not a mini-van
I’d probably fix up the Cam-cam,Lord knows it needs it
Then I’d take PJ on a shopping spree
I’d give my folks 250,000, and/or the trip to the Carribean my mom’s always wanted
And I’d invest in,guess what? Real estate, so that my husband can live out his dream of being the Black Donald Trump. Hopefully, that would pay for PJ’s college education and some.
