It Only Took Five Years And Three Months

Today I had the chance to experience something I have only seen happen. Usually when I am in the courtroom, I am the one asking the questions to witnesses. Today was different. I was the one answering the questions. I was called to the witness stand to testify. I had so much fun. I have always wondered what it felt like being up there on the witness stand. I wondered if I would be nervous, or if I would remain calm. Needless to say I was calm, and did quite well. I was hoping for more questions, but my testimony only lasted about ten minutes. So as it stands, I am calm as a prosecutor, and as a witness. Maybe I just love being in a courtroom. Don't misconstrue what I am saying. I certainly don't miss the stress of being in court on a daily basis, but nonetheless, I do like court.

Other than that, my day was good. I will end this post with a riddle that my cousin sent me in a text message tonight. I got it right. I told it to my sister and she got it wrong. I want to see how many others are smart like me. It's relatively easy, but it can trick a person. It reads as follows: If you have 10 fish, and 5 of them drown, but 3 came back to life, how many fish were left alive?

Read The Signs

I really like my sign. It really helps me understand who I am, and why I do the things I do. I also think I harbor some proud feelings about being a Sagittarius. After all, we're thinkers, seekers of truth, smart, possess a very high sex drive, and are quite charming to others. However, we do get bored very easily. So its up to the rest of the world to keep our attention, or else you risk losing us. We typically don't like to be tied down by relationships. But we stick around provided or mate understands that we have to have our space when needed. The flip side to this is when we "fall in love" with someone, we really fall hard for that someone. It's almost like an obsession. So believe it or not, we really know how to give our undivided attention to someone. Its just that it has to be on our terms with the appropriate space given. The picture says a lot about us. We are a sun sign. We are half human and half animal. Therefore, we have animal instinct (that sex drive discussed earlier), and we are athletic-even if we battle the bulge. But we love the outdoors. We're the archer; meaning we aim for knowledge, aim to be free, we aim to know something past this life; which is why philosophy is extremely important to us. I honestly don't think there is any other sign that compares to ours. I don't get caught up in which sign I am compatible with, because I believe other signs either want to be us, or want to be with us. Because we are constantly changing and re-inventing ourselves, people of other signs are intrigued by us. I know my birthday is months away, but this should give you some indication of how important my sign is to me. I am trying to figure out how I want to celebrate my birthday this year. First, it was Vegas and extending invitations to select people. Then it became celebrating with no one and visiting a place I have never been to. Now its a small party at Beau Rivage with an even smaller group of people. That may change also. I am not certain, but I have to figure out something. I will be turning 35 this year, and I have to do something memorable. Something that will make me look back and smile. Something that will give me an incentive to top it in the next five years. Something that gives me a reason to live and be happy that I am alive.

Music And Sleep

This weekend I did what I love doing most. I listened to music, and I slept. My intentions were to hang out a little more this weekend, but as usual, I chose not to. Yesterday I listened to music and played around on the internet for most of the day, then I slept. This morning I got up around 6:30 and ate breakfast. I went back to bed, and then I got up just in time to go catch the 5:00 showing of The Dark Knight. I don't know who this Heath Ledger guy was, but he did a damn good job with his role of the Joker. Best I had ever seen, and that's counting Jack Nicholson when he played the Joker. This is probably the only making of the movie that I actually like. All of the other Batman movies sucked in my opinion. For that reason, I had my reservations about seeing this movie. But in the end, my money was well spent. It only cost me $5.50 to see the movie, so that put me in a great mood. I don't think it should cost more than that to see a picture on the big screen.

In a few minutes, I will be getting ready for bed again. I hope I fall asleep tonight. But before I go, I want to share a "yo mama" joke with you guys. Someone told it to me and I thought it was funny.


Yo mama pussy so nasty, they put her shit on fear factor to see if anybody would eat it.

I laughed my ass off at that one.....

It's All Good

My week was pretty good I must admit. I was steady with my mood (there was a minor incident in session this week, but that didn't affect the rest of my week), I didn't stray out of the diet I am trying to implement, I didn't drink any alcohol, and I stuck to my exercise regimen for the week. I spoke to my sister this week. Not only did I call my parents twice this week, I also went by the house. I still have to get to a point that I stop looking at the gas needle on my dashboard everytime I drive over five miles though. Gas is just out of control, and that's all I am going to say about that. I wish I had stock in that shit right about now. But anyway. I also did something yesterday that I am sure no one would ever anticipate me to do by myself. I went to Wal-Mart. It was either that, or drive a little further to Winn Dixie for a few items. So I put my feelings of hate aside for Wally World, and kept telling myself all the while I was there that this doesn't have to be a bad experience. I managed to get the first parking spot on the row directly across from the store. I got a clean buggie. There was only one pair of pants on the floor. The isles weren't cluttered with pallets or packed with people. And there were people in the 20 items or less checkout lane with either 20 items or less. Yes I counted the number of items people had irrespective of whether they were ahead of me or behind me. It still isn't fair if someone behind me has more than 20 items because the person behind that person has to suffer and endure Wal-Mart longer than what any rational person should have to tolerate. The only thing that bothered me was seeing 30 checkout lanes, and only eight were open. I guess that will never change. I have decided to try and pace myself better day by day. I have picked up other hobbies to occupy my time during the day so that I don't get consumed with my thoughts. I won't share what my new hobby is unless I master it. That is my new secret challenge for myself.

Just To Set The Record Straight

I deleted my last blog post due to a certain reaction that stemmed from it. I want everyone who read my last post to understand this. That post was about me being confused over whether I believe in God. It was also about whether I believe in love. It was not written with the intentions to make people think I was/am suicidal. It was written purely from the standpoint of suffering with confusion over some things in my life. I was not thinking about harming myself when I posted that entry, and I am not thinking of harming myself now. I do understand why some readers may have interpreted my last post in that regard. I apologize for any imminent fear imposed to the reader(s), and I appreciate their display of concern to an extent. I do have my side of the story regarding yesterday's actions that I will express to the appropriate people. Again I apologize, and will reconsider allowing my blog to be published to any and all viewers in the future.
