"Do you have a problem?" --- Seat number 4
This is at a poker table. Everyone vs. the Dealer, dude comes and sits down talking all kinds of shit. All of us been there over a good 45 minutes...3 drinks in and on a first name basis. Good thing we all like the Sox....knucklehead sits down and begins this "how I won this and that and then blew it all type of story" I notice the dealer is more into his story of losing because the cards get to all of us alot slower. This pisses me off, as my drink becomes stronger and our convo has died out because somebody who didn't quite get the memo that this was a 'happy' table.....typical response would be to ask the dealer to speed up....he does, and the cooler comes out talking some more just taking away from the whole game......I'm up on chips so I grin and bear it....he's losing so I'm kinda enjoying it....when I catch a bonus, he looks at me with disgust as I'm slapping 5's with elderly ladies who can't get enough of the 'brotha' with a cute smile....
his look is what prompts me to ask the question you see above....
"Well, you too much into the game, why don't you just learn to chill out and leave the circus for the hood..."
................................wait.............................what?
I had to finish my drink to actually say that. Even the ladies had to shake their head on that one. "He's such a nice man, and a gentleman...he's just smiling at this moron.....cool too." I looked at him without my glasses. Makes it more easier to read my eyes as if to say not today or tomorrow, but you repeat that then right here, right now." He took his cards, studied them, dealer gives me a look that says "don't". I look up at the cameras so they can see my face....I get my cards....
pocket aces....
$10 bonus bet...at 30-1....
$300 just for keeping my temper....
and a life got saved in the process....
How's that for Left handed Luck????

Quickie....
".....sometimes I don't even know how I do it......." --- The SoD
Another weekend to work. Yay. I can't complain though, as much as you want to sit there and not be at work, I actually enjoy it. I get paid enough to and the staff don't sweat me like at previous jobs. I'm free, and I get it done. Add that to what I do outside of work, and you will come to understand that I am pretty busy, but at the same time, pretty boring as well....I am not routine, just occupy my time with a bit of everything. People forget that I'm an only child by birth which allows me a bit of selfishness when it comes to achieving my goals. The closer I get, I find more and more people questioning my work ethic as though a 32 year old can't just get up and go.......
well I'm gone, and I'll actually wave as I pass you by IN LIFE.
I'm a poet, and if I had the time to audition more, I just might be an actor. Somewhere down the line, I'm going to be somewhere sipping something on a beach. Thinking about a time where all this hard work really held me down, but not out. I believe that alot of folks are finally coming around to actually see me showcase something they knew I had in High School, but were too cool to acknowledge. Guess I came out at the right time....now they can wake up.
As for the rest of you, I'll be watching the world cup. If you've read my old blog, then know that before I played basketball (we'll get to the Green in a sec) I played Soccer, and I was good at it and loved it....parents you want a game where your kid is learning or developing skills as a player and teammate? This is the one, oh and if he's under 12, practice alone will run him tired into sleep.....just make sure he or she does their homework first.
It's raining outside? No wonder I slept so good.......if I had my 'pillow' then I would sleep even better.
Ok....I gave some cat a peek and what do I see? Prince.
right after I had something to say on my man......
people.....
please......
no question I have quite the size, but have no room for you to ride son.....
I'm out yall be cool.....

Silent Intrusion.....
"......must be working on the elevator somewhere......" --- Some woman at the mall
I pooted in the elevator at holyoke mall today. Not one of those loud joints but the old silent but deadly. Shit was hot and as it seeped out I just knew someone would catch it. Already someone was there with me, a woman, two teens, a dude with a bad beard, and a floor to reach before I can escape my own madness. To no avail, they played with buttons, let more people in....I looked out the window and waited.....
"........what the fuck is that?" the man said.
Instantly everyone looked at him then down. Like they knew it was him and no one wanted to say anything. The teen boy laughed, his friend asked if he did it. The kid said no all serious and the woman just broke the commotion with the elevator line.
I smiled and dropped another one before I got off the elevator....
one to grow on.
Ok, my beloved Celtics play tonight. Know this, over here there are some Faker fans who never seen anything Cali besides Set It Off and Snoop Dog....ask a Faker fan from New England where Rosco's Chicken and Waffles is and they are clueless as shit....ask them who their bench is and they say Phil Jackson....wtf?
I at least know that the celtics will win tonight....done deal.
Ok now I would like to address some dumb obsolete negro who don't get the message....you'll never get where I'm at, let the picture be a tool to fuel your madness as you can and will never be anywhere closer than just a comment on a blog that does not care or give a shit less about you. I know you read me, cause you see that one on the screen like who's that? Now you can enjoy my words as this is the only time I will address you. Unless I feel like it, anything else is face to face, and traveling only adds to the pain.
Moving on....
I want some Rolo's....bad.....real bad....like a fucking addiction....chocolate and caramel.....
Tore it down at the Poetz Realm....who knows, might link it.....
I'm out, Go GREEN

Who Needs Sleep?
"...One tequila, two tequila, 3 tequila......FLOOR" ---- T-Shirt
It was one of those kind of weekends. Went to the Free-2-Spit on friday on like no rest. My body is done, my mental capacity was gone, no way could I remember shit and I don't even remember how fundamental my reading was. On the way there I had a loooooong talk with a friend who couldn't recognize that talking on your phone on the 91 can end up with fines that they aren't in the position to pay for. Still yet there's a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, cause someone didn't expect to see me at all......YAY on that.
I met my new friend Tai Allen (If you haven't heard this cat you will soon enough) the weekend before at the Freaknasty (another post another time) in NY. Someone tell me why I haven't heard of this event before....erotic poetry and showcase at its finest.....anyway, he was at the free to spit and did his thing as well. Good ride to the train station and a green light to NY was what's up. Good look, and I'll find you on FB fam....word.
LG* thanks for not leaving to go out with friends, I was really trying to make it before you made any impulse decisions lol.
Popeyes chicken with a walk up window in the middle of the hood is not kosher at all....
One tequila......
Saturday I woke up with birds chirping the sun shining and a new day that I'm actually off of work. Worked out, and was actually refreshed considering that I didn't really sleep the day before. Sure I'll take a mike now, but instead I'll opt for the slots and game room at Foxwoods. Bus trip poppin, I managed to make it back to the field in time for my mom to run me around on some last minute errands to make her trip a success....always the team player I oblige. I had no problem with it cause I needed gas dig? Anyway shout out to NW* who I hope had got it in at Mohegan while I was at the Woods'.....seperate bus trips, lots of drinks, should equal both being winners even if we didn't win cash. If anything, I sure felt like a winner that's for sure.....3 shots in and I swore that I was going to have fun regardless.....and I did.
2 tequila.......
Getting back I slept like a rock....the buffet was good, but after all that alcohol I was downing, I just ate to soak it in. That's right, one plate and hope for the best. The band started rocking so that meant anyone who was willing enough to start the electric slide had the green light....such is life, as we kept moving......
3 tequila.......
Ahhhh.....Sunday, parting is such sweet sorrow, yet I know that its almost time to get back to grind mode.....of course the hustle never stops, but hey, can't have it all now can we? After giving directions, and having a coffee, I went around town tying up loose ends....I noticed my BFF hit me on the facebook....gotta check that out, might be an emergency....wait, I just got a text with some laker fan talking shit......I got a bottle of 1800 and made my way there...in a couple of hours magic bout to happen.....
FLOOR!!!!!!
Celtics win.....in the lakers house. Planning my vacation.....counting down days......cd CD CD!!!!......back to work......back to life......always a reality......
