So everything has been going ok this week, already on that humpday. To start off the week, it was Happy Founders Day to my frat of Phi Beta Sigma Frat Inc, The Frat of leaders, difference makers, game changers, & history makers. Over 7 years in the frat & it still one of the best life decisions Ive ever made. If you dont understand how our frat rolls, check us out: Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Inc.
Speaking of facebook, this morning, I saw a request on there about my high school trying to get an alumni football team together. Meaning the whole 9; pads, helmets, and high school rules. So far I heard the nearby schools (Lakeside & Lake Hamilton) are also getting teams together, so Im debating it. I was a linebacker in high school yet if I plan to go out there, could coach have me play some safety because Im still short but I still steady working out.
But on Monday as well, I gotten an interesting job. My boss pulled me aside & she wants me to teach a session in Foreclosure Prevention next weekend during the next homeowners workshop. Im reading up a lot on the subject & planning to get some full stuff reading & studying this week & all this coming weekend. Even trying to do a slide presentation & might make my own handouts.
As Im tying this, Im banging that new Rick Ross - Rich Forever, I wanted to check it out, I know Im a jazz person, but with a mixtape to gain over 500K downloads in a couple of days, I'll try to check it out. Saw the track list, he got some allstars on this: Diddy, Wale, John Legend, Nas, Kelly Rowland, Styles P, Drake, & a few others. But on mixtapes, Almost every monring Im banging that Ludacris 1.21 Gigawatts, waiting on his new album to come out.
But my closing thing as well: Whether or not if you are in a frat, sorority, or just an individual, what are YOU doing to make you community better?? Think about it.

Happy New Years
I know, I know, I know.............
Happy New Years from me & my family. Been a good year so far, just started this year off running. So at work I have been getting stuff ready for 2012. Now involved w/ writing a grant to help out w/ my job & also getting ready to help out w/ another homeownership class for the month of January, I thought we wasnt gonna have a class in January, but there have been a few people want the class because they are about to close on some homes. Also helping w/ planning a Meet & Greet in February for our company & a few of the city officials.
So just reflecting on 2011, I know I have dealt w/ some losses, yet I notice that there have been some more structure on my life. Going from 2010 to 2011, all I really cared for was that I was getting a shot at moving to Tampa/St. Pete in January so I can fully start over, but things somehow fell apart & I had to deal w/ some stuff in Arkansas. During this year, I ended up losing 2 uncles (one on each side of the family), my great-grandmother, my cousin in a car wreck, and my grandmother that lived w/ me while I was in high school. But there somehow been a gain in our family; got to meet my grandfather for the first time in 10+ years, saw him in March for my great-grandmother's funeral. So me, my mom, & my sister been getting closer to him & his family (found out I also had 2 aunts I didnt know about) & we even got to go to Houston in August.
But also in work & in life, it seem like things are coming together. Now w/ my job, Im taking on more responsibilities, including handling more of educating customers & the develoment of our program. I even took on a 2nd job for a few months during the summer at a theme park to get me some extra dollars for Christmas. But just thinking about it, this is the first calendar year since 2000? that I have not step foot in Memphis an entire calendar year. I also saw what it means to have meaningful friends, somehow felt I was having a smaller circle of friends, yet they all are positive people. Now I thought I was not gonna be dating anymore, yet had some close calls where I might be near that time. I remember earlier this year when some girl 3 years older than me hit on me (Later found out that she was a mother & she had a bad rep w/ some people, basically looking for a guy to “save” her). I back to where Im social w/ females more & even talking to one over the phone everyday. But now I see that God want me to get back out there & make sure I make the right decisions. But with everything, just gotta pray for guidance.
My plans for 2012: Feed off the successes I had from the 2nd half of 2011 & create more structure in life & continue to learn to be that better man. Me & my mom are bumping heads less often yet I hope we get better w/ being around each other. I want to do more traveling in 2012, thought about going to London for the Olympics yet still have to get my passport. I also want to look into moving, my neighbor's son had me fix my resume, he spent about $600 just to fix his & he giving me pointers, so there are at least 150 new resumes hitting companies this week alone. Im also looking to buy a new gaming season, havent really had a working on since mid-August. But basically whatever God has for me, I'll be ready for it.
Deuces & holla at cha boi...............
