Really did not feel like going to work today, but a lot of times if Monday is a holiday, then the work week gonna be shorter. Gonna watch Game 1 of the NBA Finals tonight at home, still a lil tried from traveling this weekend. When I got home yesterday, took a nap yet still had a full night of sleep, just didnt wake up this morning to do my running. Pulling for Dallas to win the NBA Championship, but still a Grizzlies fan.
But based on this weekend, Im still stoked that I got to meet my granddad for the first time in over 12-13 years. But I will definitely be keeping up w/ him. Sunday after doing my last blog, I went to a cookout & me, my mom, & my sis got to talk to him more. Tears were coming out of my mom's eyes while talking to him because its been so long since she really sat down & talked to her dad. It may have been just as personal to me; My dad & my dad's dad died before I hit 11.
So Im somewhat in a situation, if I decide to entertain: On my way out of Texarkana yesterday, I get a call from my cousin that lives in Little Rock. She works at a Walgreens there & she telling me that they are remodeling her store so she claiming they are transferring her to a Walgreens in my city, Hot Springs, which is 45 mins away. You just work as a photo person/cashier, there are at least 11-12 other Walgreens in that city, yet you telling me that they are transferring you 45 mins away because of remodeling??? So hopefully, I'll talk to my other cousin in Hope so I can see if there's anything going on that she not telling me about. Chances are she may be lying to have a reason to leave her "fiancee" at home & try to use me as an excuse to get out. If thats the case, I hate it when people stay w/ someone only until they find something or someone else to get into. Should I just call Bullshit about her transfer or let her stay w/ me?? The key thing is if she wants something from me, I want her to be honest w/ me on whats going on.
But out of here, thinking of ordering a pizza tonight.

On this Great Sunday...........
Been a min since I did some writing. Im actually in Texarkana, AR, not gonna be back in Hot Springs until Monday evening. Spending the weekend at my aunt's house w/ my mom & sis, my mom didnt want me to get a hotel room cause she said I had 3 relatives that said it was ok for me to stay w/ them.
I'm here for my great-grandmother's funeral, she lived to be 94, she had a great life & she was a christian woman. She also owned a hair shop for a good number of years. It was my mom's dad's mother, so I met a lot of folks in the family I havent seen since my high school days. I've seen mostly my mom's mom's side of the family, yet haven't got to know much of the other side. My grandmother had 3 kids by 3 different men, my mom was the 1st born. Found out I have all this family living in Houston, TX, also about a handfull in Atlanta, GA, one of my cousins work for a place there called Fiore or I think Bel Fiore. I met 2 of my mom's sisters I never knew about. I also met my granddad, havent seen him in about 12 or so years. Never really had a chance to talk to him, but now I see how an amazing man he is. He is a God fearing man, and he makes sure his children are well grounded, but I also learn that he one of those men that has the ability to really see right through people. He was bugging my mom about when she was gonna visit him in Houston, she doesnt know when she would come down, but I told him that I myself would come down and visit. What I may do is go down & visit Houston in August.
Although this was a sad reason for family to travel & come together, Im glad I got to see my extended family. But it also showed me something else; Alot of the family trees I've seen all have strong foundations. Most people I know have grandmothers & older family that have been hard workers & christians & tried to pass down those principles to their kids. I see today that everyone is just having kids & not having nothing going on w/ themselves or their families. The key thing is you have to be the example you want your kids to follow. I see too many parents these days who expect their kids to be good & be hardworkers yet the parents themselves are about nothing. I know my dad was a hard worker and his dad was a hardworker, so Im gonna be that hard worker & I actually want my child to see me & my family as rolemodels, so I know Im not gonna be lazy, because if I am lazy, I'll be a failure to myself and for my future generations.
Hope you have a great weekend & be careful on this great holiday!!

Just blaze.................
Howdy Doody!!!! lmao
Bored & ready to get off work. Finist going over some files earlier, it just doesnt feel like a Monday today for some reason. I'm also getting on some Neo Soul Music, some mixes good on here:
http://gumbosoulmixshow.podomatic.com/
Have this craving for french fries, may go get some later on, no salt on them buy gonna have BBQ
But yeah, Chicago loses Game 3 & is trailing Miami 2-1 in the series. Its scary: Miami seem like they are actually...................Bonding??? But what got me as well is that Bosh is actually putting up some big numbers in this series, I actually thought it was just Lebron & Wade's team by themselves. Now I want the series to push for that Game 7 just so we would have a heavy game to watch.
But on a downside note, talked to my mom last night, I had a Great-Grandmother that passed early Sunday morning. She was on my Mom's Dad's side, I hardly knew her, my mom said I havent met her since I graduated high school in 02. The funeral is gonna be held in my mom's hometown in Texarkana. The strange thing to me is that this is only May of 2011 and this is at least the 4th death in the family we already had this year. When I got off the phone w/ my mom, I was just walking around in the kitchen, was gonna put the trash out, but was just walking around having all these thoughts going in my head. Seem like yesterday me & my cousins were little & were looking up to these relatives, but now we growning up, some of us having our own families & careers, and all that stuff, and now we are about to be the ones to keep our family going on. I swear Im might be drinking more if this keep up this year, but I might hold off, just gonna be praying more for my family.

My Inner Asshole
So everyone is accounted for on this Sunday, where is Herald Camping so I could holla at him for a min.................
www.youtube.com/embed/8I8vBbDM6Co
So I saw this video on Youtube, another favorite vid blogger, and he just got me thinking. I really do need to exercise my inner asshole. Just thinking back in certain stuff, including relationships & other things in life, I may have been too nice. Women have been arguing about there is no good men around, yet are women more entertained by the good guy or the guy thats the asshole?? Women can SAY they want a good guy but actions can speak differently especially w/ choosing a certain man. Women can blast men all day long, but who's choosing them and not really getting to know them before laying w/ them?? Women, why do some men become bad?? Because some of us notice that we can have sex & get other stuff w/ certain women sooner as being bad than being good. And I have notice that somehow the good man is looked at as the backup option instead. Here's a story that happened to me a couple of years ago:
I was cool w/ a girl named Samantha in high school, she was a grade under me, but then she moved to Kansas City w/ her family. Fast forward to 2007, I saw her on MySpace & she now a model, I was gonna visit her city because of my frat's regionals, send 2 msgs to her, yet never heard from her. Then around late 2008/early 2009, Sam hits me up on facebook. Now she talking about how she had a crush on me when I was in high school, and she was having problems w/ her babydaddy in KC. I should have been like why didnt you hit me up in 07 but I listened, but now she hasnt said much to me anymore.
But thinking about it now, maybe I really didnt use my inner asshole to save my last relationship. I was accused of being boring, and a lot of stuff I talked about went over her head. I dont really talked to my ex anymore because if she felt I was boring, then she doesnt have to worry about me anymore. Im just working on my inner asshole, still gonna be me, but not being a fullblown asshole, but to where I can be unpredictable & not a walkover.
But being an asshole doesnt just go for relationships or meeting women, but also other aspects. Going to the Univ of Memphis, Coach Cal was one of my favorite coaches on the scene. On campus, a lot of people said Coach Cal was an asshole to people, but he got the job done w/ the bball team.
OK, Im done & Im out, The Bulls better win this game tonight, not really a Bulls fan, but Im just pulling for them in my predicted bracket. Listening to some Gary Taylor to ease me up a bit.

Waiting for the END.............of May 21st, 2011 lol
Just here bored today, all I can really do is eat, workout, read, & clean up. Whats worse is that theres really nothing on TV to watch. May just make it a movie & food night.
I just went on Facebook and saw Lydia Cotton, one of my favorite blogger, showing a video about a writer from New York name Janet Mock, doing a video, admitting she was a transexual. Now seeing her, I thought she was gorgeous, but seeing that she was born a man, I think she still gorgeous, but I most likely wont date her. Im comfortable in my sexuality as a straight man to admit she was fine, yet I know not to mess with her. But the key point of the video is she is living her life to the fullest and she is not being fake about who she is, she's comfortable w/ herself. The one thing about the BGLT community we could all learn from is that when society wants us to be a certain way, we have to be brave to just be ourselves, even when we get criticized for being different.
So they say that today is the day the world is going to end. Notice in the movies & TV a lot of world-ending stuff happens when theres a black president of the US. I can talk all kinds of crap about it, if it happens, it happens, if it dont, it dont. My thing is I feel that God usually deals with us as individuals more than as a group. It just feels like a tarot reading, we want to know when our time is up rather than just let it happen when it happens. I know God has a plan for all of us, but I know God wants us to live life to the fullest, not having to worry about when we gonna die. God wants us to follow him but it dont mean he wants us to stop living period. What if this "warning" never happened?? Oh, you want to see this as a way to get right before our time is up. The thing is we are supposed to be good people this whole time, not when we might face death.
No matter what happens, I'm still gonna be Jarrid E. Johnson, doing what I can to live a positive life & be a positive influence to the people around me, and if people dont like it, thats OK, at least God like me for it....................

My bad........TODAY is the 20th, not yesterday
I somehow thought that yesterday was the 20th, threw myself & some peeps off. But really, glad its Friday, got nothing much planned, but my homeboy wants to go out this weekend because we didnt get to go somewhere last weekend when he graduate. Im still waiting to hear from my co-worker if she still gonna hold a bash this weekend for her son's grad from high school. I went to dude's house last night because he wanted to give me pics from last weekend, ended up playing Tekken most of the night. Already told him we brothers but the key diff between us is that he likes fighting games, I like sports games.
What had me thinking as well from last night was dude told me he had another friend, and this friend like big white girls, really, specifically big white girls. I dont know why, but if we all kick it this weekend, I'm going in & asking him why. If you don't know, my city does have a high amount of interacial dating, but dude said big white girls. We also talked about my homie STILL goes on Blackplanet. I clowned him right there on the spot, mentioned that Blackplanet not holds some of the most ugly people on there, and he telling me that the only reason he about to get off is because transexuals are on there trying to hit on him.
Today, I was checking out www.djdimepiece.com to see whats good to download and I saw an interesting article. Kobe Bryant's wife wants to have a reality show because of Khloe & Lamar Kardashian (Yeah I said it!!!), I know Im late on hearing this. What else does Vanessa want?? She married to Kobe & hardly has to work, not to mention the $1M ring she gotten from him.............
I also have been questioning about something: Would you go on a date w/ someone if that someone's mom wants you to date them?? I've been having my mom's friend trying to drop hints that she wants me to date her daughter. She not cute but not bad looking, yet she had a baby by a friend of mine a few years back. Here's another thing: The mother has 3 kids including the daughter, the daughter is single?? w/ a child, and the two other kids, a son & daughter, are both married to white people, and someone told me that the mother said "she wouldnt mind having a black inlaw". But maybe all this stuff going on, I may just back off & let time tell AND I did say at one point I wasnt gonna date the girls here in this city.
But yeah, Im hungry & ready to go, thought I was gonna go to Oaklawn for Happy Hour but weather's funny & forgot that happy hour specials were from Mon-Thurs only. Have a good weekend & let me see what trouble or sleep I can get into.

Happy 5/20 *puff* #Dontjudgeme
Just want to go to bed for the rest of the day. My old high school is having their graduation tonight yet Im debating on going, my former coworker's son is graduating, he going to HSU, I would tell him to go to my school Memphis, yet I know they keep hiking that tuition up.
I read some of the articles on Arnold S's (I said Arnold S's because Im too lazy to type the cali governor's last name) issues w/ the child coming out the woodwork. I was wondering: The child is about 13 or 14 yrs old, why they wait to say something now?? Did someone just getting ahold of the story??
Honestly, I dont know how his wife feels, she may have a smiling face now but what does she feel behind closed doors??
It just makes me think of all those wives who have important officials & even famous athletes as their significant others. Some cases the guys will be found cheating and the woman may either take them back or split. My thing is: If you gonna try to work out a relationship after someone cheats, dont try to do it for the wrong reasons. Some women may not split not because they love them, but because the man is famous & became dependent of the other person to where they cant handle being alone. Also, they may worry about what the public thinks, a man that is famous & has money could easily pick up someone else even if he has those "minor" problems. The thing is, if someone is doing you wrong over a certain period of time, you might need to leave. If they continue to have problems being faithful, dont stay. I feel sorry for certain wives of certain officials and athletes, you know your man is cheating but you finding every excuse not to leave. I remember when Kobe cheated, he got his wife a $1M ring just to say Im Sorry, but was that because there may be an idea of her being around just as a trophy & all she cared about was the money?? I mean, how many people own a $1M ring??
I feel there are at least 3 reasons someone could be afraid of leaving a relationship:
1) Fear of being Alone
2) Fear of losing certain things (money, fame, etc............)
3) Fear of Blame ("I dont get dumped, I do the dumping"). I always felt that sometimes a problem last longer than it should because neither side wants to look like the bad guy
But another thing I wonder is if do some of these special wives actually get freaky w/ their husbands. Some seem to act too fancy to throw down in the bedroom, maybe its just me. I also felt that Michelle Obama might be one of the only famous wives to please her husband, I havent heard anything of the prez cheating yet. But these women need to remember, what they wont do, another woman (or man) may do...................
Just me being random, this may sound off in some areas, yet just tired. Feel like making some chicken fajitas from the leftover chicken from last night.

May 18th 2011-izzle
Good Day today, got a lot of stuff done today. At home tonight baking chicken & deciding what rice to cook. Saw a newspaper ad from the Oaklawn racetrack that they starting up their Happy Hour: $1 drafts & $2 wells, so I might talk to some friends on who want to go to that.
Game 2 on deck w/ Miami & Chicago, still pulling for Chicago in the series. Saw last night that Cleveland won the 1st overall pick in next month's draft, along with having the 4th overall pick. That 1st overall pic was supposed to have been the Clippers but that trade in Feb affected that. Cleveland traded away Mo Williams for Baron Davis & this #1 pick so Clippers must be praying that Mo is back in All-Star form so they wont look bad for this trade. My projection: Mo becomes starting PG for Clips, Cavs used top pick to get Kyrie Irving, Baron Davis helps groom Irving but Davis is tradable
I talked to one of my homeboys earlier, he was having a trial today for an accident that happened with his & his wife's baby. The thing is that this accident happened when the wife was not at home. I known guy for a good while, more than likely it was just an accident & he wouldnt hurt a fly. The police gotten involved and now they have ordered a no-contact period, so he can see his wife or his own son. Now his wife wants a divorce even when he told her it was an accident. He talked to me that there have been times where there have been heavy arguing between the two & he does admit that it may have been too early to get married (They gotten engaged, gotten married in the courthouse, and had a baby while he was still in college & he only worked part-time at a Pizza Hut). I was ready to bust them both in the head at one point: How you gonna switch out an old car for a new car, knowing you dont have the funds to cover the note, then you get repoed?? Basically there have been problems w/ money and neither one is able to hold down a job, now he just grad from college looking for work & she only works for Avon. He jumped off of FB and the wife basically is playing this victim role on FB, talking about how she is proud of being free & certain stuff he said. I talked to my homeboy & he denied saying the stuff she was posting, she may have just have been looking for attention & that she was blowing things out of porportion. My thing is I am a single guy, I have never been married, & I'm doing what I can to avoid giving advice to this couple, but I am gonna pray for this couple. And no matter if they stay together or not, I hope homie gets to see his son again. I really havent heard her side of the story just yet.
Lesson in all of this: Make sure you have YOURSELF ready & grounded before getting married & make sure you carefully screen your partner you want to marry
Have also been thinking on my housing options. I have a nice place Ive been renting for a few years, also been saving up to go & buy my own home, yet the only thing is that I dont see myself long-term in the city of Hot Springs. I have been somewhat borderline miserable here in this city, I've only been here because of my family, making sure my mom & sis are taken care of, and my sis is starting high school in the fall so Im watching out for her, as well as she made the high school cheerleading squad for the fall so I'll be supporting her. My mom knows it yet she still pushing other options here, she giving out vibes that she wants me to stay, knowing her, thats what she wants yet too proud to admit to it. But I will suck it up for the time being.
Food is almost done & but to throw down, now feeling lazy on the rice, white bread will do.
I'm off *Dancing off doing Dave Chappelle dance* lol
Game 2 on deck w/ Miami & Chicago, still pulling for Chicago in the series. Saw last night that Cleveland won the 1st overall pick in next month's draft, along with having the 4th overall pick. That 1st overall pic was supposed to have been the Clippers but that trade in Feb affected that. Cleveland traded away Mo Williams for Baron Davis & this #1 pick so Clippers must be praying that Mo is back in All-Star form so they wont look bad for this trade. My projection: Mo becomes starting PG for Clips, Cavs used top pick to get Kyrie Irving, Baron Davis helps groom Irving but Davis is tradable
I talked to one of my homeboys earlier, he was having a trial today for an accident that happened with his & his wife's baby. The thing is that this accident happened when the wife was not at home. I known guy for a good while, more than likely it was just an accident & he wouldnt hurt a fly. The police gotten involved and now they have ordered a no-contact period, so he can see his wife or his own son. Now his wife wants a divorce even when he told her it was an accident. He talked to me that there have been times where there have been heavy arguing between the two & he does admit that it may have been too early to get married (They gotten engaged, gotten married in the courthouse, and had a baby while he was still in college & he only worked part-time at a Pizza Hut). I was ready to bust them both in the head at one point: How you gonna switch out an old car for a new car, knowing you dont have the funds to cover the note, then you get repoed?? Basically there have been problems w/ money and neither one is able to hold down a job, now he just grad from college looking for work & she only works for Avon. He jumped off of FB and the wife basically is playing this victim role on FB, talking about how she is proud of being free & certain stuff he said. I talked to my homeboy & he denied saying the stuff she was posting, she may have just have been looking for attention & that she was blowing things out of porportion. My thing is I am a single guy, I have never been married, & I'm doing what I can to avoid giving advice to this couple, but I am gonna pray for this couple. And no matter if they stay together or not, I hope homie gets to see his son again. I really havent heard her side of the story just yet.
Lesson in all of this: Make sure you have YOURSELF ready & grounded before getting married & make sure you carefully screen your partner you want to marry

May 17th 2011-fizzle
Good Evening.............
Been just a bland day today, btw I hate faxing lmao. But here chilling, gonna watch this Mavs vs. Thunder game tonight, I had a brain fart yesterday, when I saw it in the paper, I thought they were paying Mon night instead of tonight. Also right now I'm downloading Raheem Devaughn's new mixtape that just came out, may listen to it later on tonight. But I have noticed I watch less & less TV & twitter, excluding the occasional sports. Miss my Maury & Jerry Springer, yet I know I have better things to do & they dont come on when I get off or on the weekends. Also stopped listening to the radio, can't really understand what they saying anymore, I might go dumb if I keep hearing someone going Bow Bow Bow over & over again.
Had done my morning running, and thought about what if I could go & run a marathon or something like that. So Im looking for one to run in my area, or may look for one in Little Rock for maybe a weekend visit. Maybe something smaller for a beginner, but just want to do it for the heck of it. They say that running is supposed to clear your mind, yet at times it feels like Im having debates with myself. Cant remember what I was thinking this morning, but I may just write stuff down what I think. Memo to self: Put a sign on my wall and fridge saying No Sugar
Still having to book my trip to Conclave in ATL this summer. Dont know if work gonna let me off that weekend, dont want to make it just a Fri-Sun thing and still trying to find a cheap flight on a Wed or Thurs out of Little Rock. If I dont go, I know I can get time off for the Houston Greek Picnic in August.
Also, hearing about the TSU sextape. I havent saw it but I just saw the FAMU sextape a while back. My thing is Why record it & who actually released it??? If it resembled the FAMU tape, bet you its gonna be a crammed dorm room and some of the girls are ugly. BTW, which TSU was it again?? But Im also upset they wanted to showcase HBCUs doing sextapes when I heard a few major schools have been doing them as well, maybe its just a "we need to do better" thing. But I may hear more details later.
Brief, yet just writing, Be Blessed!!!

Monday & Im alive
Just here at work, and just realizing now Im eating a bag of BBQ chips, I wasnt thinking, just picked up the bag in my desk & started eating *throws away*. Usually boring during the 2nd half of the day, downloading Chamillionaire's new mixtape, yet looking for more neo-soul stuff to download.
So pretty much the Memphis Grizz lost Game 7 by 15 pts last night. I know the city of Memphis was sad & a lil upset by yesterday's play, but the fans of this team are still proud of coming so far. This was a team not many people thought would make it past the first round. My only question is how does Rudy Gay feel?? He was injured and not playing during this run, so w/ this team doing this w/o him, will he be able to make the team better w/ his presence next year OR is he tradeable because they accomplished so much in 2011 w/o him?? OJ Mayo & Conley stepped up HUGE this postseason, Mayo making a case to stay in Memphis rather than be traded. I'll say the Mavs will rep the west just because they beat the lakers.
Back to some stuff at hand, I was talking to a co-worker about workout plans & she was talking about her mom's side of the family being obese. My thing is I do often have questions on it & over the last year, I tried to change some stuff about myself, including my eating habits & working out, Including waking up at the crack of dawn to go running every morning. I have opinions yet dont have all the facts on certain conditions. How I often feel on overweight people is that there may be 2 options to things; 1) learn to love yourself as a heavy-set person and/or 2) Learn to exercise & take care of yourself. I know, I know, easier said than done. They have all these new meds that say they can "zap" weight, yet no one mentions about those people who gain weight because they are unhappy with their lives. A lot of people want overnight results rather than be consistent working out, but usually the overnight stuff only works for a short time then the weight re-appears. If you looking to lose weight, you have to plan accordingly & make sure you stick to the plan & realize short-cuts may not be an option. A pet peeve of mine is those people who say "I want to lose weight so I can meet someone" cause usually when they lose weight & find that person, they get lazy & the weight comes back. Big or Small, you gotta learn to love yourself despite what others say & there is someone for everyone, just be patient.
Just my random thoughts for the day. SN: Does anyone want a bag of BBQ chips, Im not eating them???

Doing nothing on this Sunday...................
Still deciding what to do for the rest of this Sunday. Went to church earlier, interesting message that got onto me about my life. Sometimes God may take away some things in our lives to make sure we would stand up to become a leader rather than a follower. I have known a few people that I've had followed in life, yet I understand that whatever and whoever leaves, would I be able to stand on my own two feet. Also on my life, when my father died, it made me wonder even now on myself making a stronger impact as the man of the house & my family. The question is for certain people: If God took away certain stuff you leaned on in life, would you fall or would it make you become a better person who can stand on your own two feet??
Had a good time in Little Rock yesterday, proud of my homeboy for finally making it graduating from college. Me & CW been like brothers, our parents went to school together at HSU, we both were nerds in high school, but now we both have our educations. This is a guy who was diagnosed w/ A.D.D., took him 5 years to finish high school, even before that, his mom had to sit in some of his classes to make sure he act right. The graduation was cool, first time ever going to an HBCU Graduation (Ass for days!!!! lmao) , got to meet with a few of homie's friends before & after graduation, even chatted w/ one of the professors trying to recruit me to move to Little Rock. May just email that prof later on because he wanted me to look at some info for a foundation in the area. But it doe show me there are a better selection of ladies in that area than where Im at in Hot Springs. Had a few intellectual conversations with some good people, something I havent had in a while. Came back home, was supposed to go back out to LR for grad parties, but fell asleep about 10 watching The Closer, woke up around 6
But hopefully Im also planning a summer of studying, I want to try to take the Series 7 Exam later on. Even talking to my mom's friend about getting sponsorship for it (Under their website, I have to be sponsored, no being independent). Been just years of working yet now I want to do something to better myself in life, and a few years away from turning 30.
But yeah, ready for this Game 7 of the Memphis/OKC series to start in a few. Really hoping for Memphis Grizz to pull this off, hopefully try to make it to the NBA Finals. But win or lose, this was a long time coming for the city of Memphis, my 2nd home. Side Note: Already calling for Miami to lose the series w/ Chicago, I always said if Miami wins the NBA Championship, might as well give Soulja Boy a Grammy............
