...is pretty good. I feel good for the most part, and work isn't too annoying yet...not to the point where I can't take it...but something is still bothering me.
I feel like I'm on the brink of something; on the brink of something big...I just don't know what that is yet.
I'll let you know what it is when I found out...

...that training is the most boring part of work. I mean, the first few days were pretty easy, going over like, the basics of the internet and what exactly are Windows? Now we are going over the actual system, and it is getting very redundant...and when it gets redundant I get bored...but hopefully I won't feel like that tomorrow.

My friend just had his second kid, a baby girl named Khloe...I mean, he and his wife both have K-names, so they decided to name their kids with k-names...yeah, I know it's gay...
...but it got me to thinking: What type of father would I be? I would hope that I'm stern, but fair. Open, but have the boundries of respect in their proper places. Have rules, but let them have a little freedom...I...I really just don't know. I know I will have children, and I feel that I would be a good father, I just don't know what type I'd be...it's so much...even just thinking about it. There is SOOOOOOOOO much that goes into raising a little person...even thinking about it brings tears to my eyes...it's, it's a nice feeling...but it's weird at the same time. I guess all I can really do is just put God first, and he'll help me raise my kids...I just want to do right by them, give them a good life, and make sure they have all the tools they need to go out into the world and be productive adults.
That's not too much, right?

Well, I started at Comcast this week, and despite the fact that I have to dress business casual, it isn't that bad. There are a lot of negro faces...which was kinda surprising, and most of the trainers are black as well...but my training class is like, 2/3 white...but it's still ok. The class isn't boring, and honestly, it feels like I'm in high school...but still, the days go by fairly quick, and I'm getting paid for really doing nothing...which is good. I wanted to catch up on blogger here...but I am getting really paranoid about being late...even though I don't need to be there until 9, I feel like I should be dressed now...weird, right?
V-Day was super dope...the best I've ever had by far, and the first where I actually tried to do something for the person that I was with...
I mean, I've given V-Day cards before, but I never really cared about what they said, I just use to make sure they didn't say I loved them in it...and make sure that they were under 3 bucks. So getting a nice card, getting reservations, and trying to have an itinerary was kinda taxing...but it worked out...sort of. I made the reservations like, in the middle of January...for real...and originally, I was going to take Liz to the Franklin Institute...which is a science based mueseum in Philly. Well, Liz took me to the Franklin for my birthday, so I couldn't really take her there anymore...so I'm like, either the art mueseum or maybe some other random mueseum...so I was gonna do both. I was going to take her to the Rodin mueseum...which is where the sculpture 'The Thinker' is located...and take her to the Philadelphia Mueseum of Art...which is where Rocky runs up the stairs...but I didn't have time for both because they both closed at 5...I was kinda annoyed about that. The Rodin said they had free parking on their site RIGHT BEHIND the mueseum...get to the Rodin...no signs...no lot. So we paid like, 3 bucks for an hour on the parking meter. Went in...had nerdy fun...and barely escaped being on 'Parking Wars'...
We had to go home and change clothes for two reasons: The reservation was at 9, and they required Elegant Casual dress...and I still don't know what that requires to this day...
We got to the restaurant like, 20 minutes early, got Valet...just to wait for an hour and 20 minutes...the food was amazing, and the wait staff was the best I've ever seen...but what tripped me out is that they sat all of the black people in the same area...and the cat that sat behind us had on jeans, sneakers, and a Rockawear sweater. I'm not sure how that qualified as Elegant Casual, but who am I to judge? He had some great lines for his date to, like, "Baby, you can have some of the finest and most delicious of the wines and champagnes here." Or the great, "We don't have to get something from the menu...get whatever will make you happy." Now these quotes may not sound that bad in text form, but dude looked and sounded like Percy Miller...yeah, Master P. It was hilarious...I mean, the stuff they had you could get at Olive Garden...I was like, what was the point? Then at the end of the meal, we find out dude knows the chef personally, called him by name, hugged him, and they got their meal for free with a dessert sampler because he sends them so much business! I was so tripped out, for real...
So we leave without leftovers because everything was so good...and the truck didn't feel right...it felt like the tire was low...but I drove home anyway saying that I'd just go get air the next day...what happens? We get outside and there is a screw sticking out of the sidewall of the tire. The sidewall. The only place you can get a screw that cannot be fixed...I was so pissed...then on top of that, the part of the jack that you need to make it work was not in the truck!!! The jack was there, the extension poles were there...but the crowbar was not. I jacked it up part way with my hand and then a strong screwdriver, just so the weight of the truck wouldn't bend the rim...then one of Liz's friends came by and I was able to change the flat in like, 5 minutes...but overall it was a very interesting weekend. The best Vday I've ever had...ever.

I'm not sad, I'm not in a bad mood at all...I'm not angry...
I'm sitting here on the couch, with my wife's little feet propped up on my thigh...and as I look over at her...I know I'm ok. I know I can live my dreams, I know that things aren't always going to go as planned, but they will go as they are ordered. I know my life isn't a dream, but I do have my little dreamsicle here to remind me that anything is possible. Dreams do come true...If you asked me this time last year, I would've never said that I would be in New Jersey, let alone be married...and I would not have even thought I would be ready...but I guess I am. I mean, I'm not having second thoughts, I'm just saying I didn't know that I would able to be a husband already; I never knew that the potential was there...
I just looked at my blog from this time last year, and I was giving up on sex and dating...not that I was turning gay, I just didn't feel like anyone was worth the time or efforts...
I'm just really, really happy. Really happy...and I'm glad that I have someone that I can love, someone that can make me smile whenever I look at her...someone that I can truely be myself with, and not worry about what they think about it. Someone that loves me for who I am, and not what I can do for them...someone that just...just cares, respects, and appreciates me...it's priceless.
...and I'm glad God cared enough about me to place her in my life.

...but the last on the couch. I start working next Monday. I'm kinda excited, and I'm kinda not excited...I dunno. I hate the fact that I have to dress business casual though...that is going to be very annoying...oh well. It's a job, and I'll get use to it.
I thought I'd have more to write about today, but I guess I don't...oh well. Maybe I'll try again later.

I am going to post about my birthday, but boy...someone did something yesterday to annoy the daylights out of me...but I'm going to post about that later...
As for my Birthday? It was fantastic! We kinda had a nerdy day though, but what can I say...I'm a nerd, and so is my wife...but whatever. Anyway, we went to the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, and it was so much fun. It has a bunch of science based exhibits, and they had the Narnia exhibit up showing a bunch of stuff from the movie, along with some things that were owned by CS Lewis. I haven't been to the museum since I was in like, fourth grade, so it was very enjoyable going through looking at things, trying out stuff, and reading about the exhibits...we also went to the Planetarium, to which I've never done before. Ever. I really enjoyed it though...and honestly, I would've been happy staying there to watch the next two shows and missing dinner...almost. After the museum, we went to dinner back in Jersey at Catelli's. That had to be the best dinner I have had in a long, long time...easily in the top five restaurant experiences in my life...I had a cheddar broccoli soup, baby crab cakes, a 14 ounce veal chop stuffed with lobster, spinach, and cheese over a bed of mashed potatoes with gravy that included asparagus and mushrooms...it was delicious. For desert, I had a waffle with homemade ice cream topped with walnuts, chocolate and caramel sauce. The waffle by itself had the best texture and flavor of any waffle I have ever had in my life...it was wonderful. It was soooo great. My family even sent me beautiful cards with monetary gifts in closed...this was one of the best birthdays I can remember...
As for what annoyed me?
This wack dude that happens to be Liz's ex left some hater facebook comments on a pic of us...actually the pic of us that is in my profile here. I mean, it could've been funny if he was actually his friend, but he is not...not even close...so it came off like, what is the point? Are you jealous? Are you really that much of a loser that you have nothing else to do but hate on me and my wife??? I really wanted to snatch his vocal cords right out of his throat so he would have nothing else to say...he has no idea what I am capable of...anyway, after I cooled off a bit, some wise words came to mind...
"Live your m'fing life. Get your hustle on. Understand people are gonna hate you regardless. Get that out of your head, that fantasy world where people ain't hating on you. You gotta be grateful. You need haters. WTF you complaining about. WTF do you think a haters job is? To f'ing hate. So let them do their damn job. WTF you complaining about. Ladies if you got 14 women hating on you, you need to figure out how the hell to get to 16 before the summer gets here. WTF you mad about. Fellas, if you got 20 haters, you need 40 of those m'fers. WTF you complaining about. If there are any haters in here right now that don't have anybody to hate on, feel free to hate on me. Sit back and say my hair ain't luxurious when you know it is, bitch."
- KATT WILLIAMS
So, if dude has nothing else to do, that is on him. I have no ill words or actions for him, because he is just doing what he was designed to do...hate.

This is really up here just for Liz, but it is HILARIOUS if you are a Scrabble player...

To me...
I've never really had big celebrations for my birthday...well, at least as far as I can remember. I mean, my parents always did something for me, and my grandma usually would bake me a cake or something...and it was cool. I always appreciated what they did for me...and it would always be thoughtful.
...but my friends just never really cared. That's why I know I really don't have too many friends. You know how people claim to have like, 10-15 "good" friends? I can't understand how that is possible...now you might have 10 people that keep tabs on you just because they think you are cool...and like 2 more that hang around you because they are sponging off of your aura...and really only like, 3 people that truly love you like you are a blood relative, and care about your well-being. They will be the ones that check on you just to check on you...does anyone know what I mean?
I know I really only have three true, down for me friends...and one of them I married.
I don't know.
I usually get kinda down around my birthday thinking about all the failed opprotunities of the past year, and reflect on things that I would do differently...and because no one really remembers my birthday makes me feel like I don't do much to leave an imprint on their lives...even though lots of people pull on me to help them fix themselves. It's like they treat me as if I'm a service instead of a person.
I'm sure this year will be different.

Dude...I really didn't feel like writing earlier, but I've been inspired...and I'll tell you what inspired me after I do a weekend recap:
I had a great weekend with Liz. On Saturday, we went to the Auto Show...which was kinda wack. I really like cars, and I usually enjoy the auto show, but I don't know if it's just a bad year for cars or if the one in Chicago is just that much better...but it was just a disappointment. I enjoyed the DUB section, and they had some old cars there, and they were cool...but it just wasn't like the auto shows of old...here are some of the pics from the show:
...overall, I enjoyed it...but I think it had more to do with the company I was keeping than the cars that were there.
Afterward, I went to Joe's Peking Duck in Philadelphia, and it was AMAZING! Everything from the soup to the fried chocolate cake was delicous. I had duck, lobster...all of it was wonderful.
On Sunday, we went to Maryland and watched the game with the family, and it was fun...
...but why am I posting???
Why in the world is this cat on the real world saying he's a woman, and how is he fooling anyone? And why was there a whole episode going on and on about someone telling people that he is a transexual before he was ready to tell...How can they not know that this is a man??? He def does not look like any chick I've ever seen...tv is getting retarded...
