on becoming my own boss

My friend BT [who is engaged to one of my best friends, Sunshine] and I have decided to start a business together. I don't want to go into too much detail yet but I am excited about this. It allows me to be creative and hopefully we can get it off the ground and be able to sustain ourselves outside of and hopefully without our actual jobs. I designed the logo and it was received well by everyone I [and he] showed it to. We're moving along with this plan slowly but steadily and I hope we can pick up the pace sooner than later. I know the economy is crap, but I'm pretty sure it won't be getting better any time soon so why not start working on this project? What's life without risk and change and forward motion? It shouldn't require a large investment on either of our parts, we just have to do it right to make sure it's at least semi-lucrative. I'm really trying to make this happen. We have great things in mind.

Stay tuned.

scenes from coupledom 1

Scene: Come home from work, make something to eat, watch Kevin Hart's 'Seriously Funny' on Netflix. Start to fall asleep. Off goes the xbox and the tv. Turn fan towards couch, lay down directly in the breeze. Nod off...

I hear Babe unlock the door then come in. Me eyes are closed, he gives me a quick kiss, heads into the room to change. Comes back out.

Him: Why you layin' on the couch?
Me: Cuz I want to.
Him: Why don't you lay with me?
Me: *silence*
Him: *More questions* What's wrong with you?
Me: I'm sleepy. Been sleepy all day.
Him: Why you so sleepy?
Me: Because I am.
Him: Why don't you recline? *reclines my seat*

He takes out his iPod, starts taking pictures.
Him: You're so pretty.
Me: Thanks. Can I sleep now?
Him: *snap snap snap*
Me: *Glares* I'm tryna take a nap!
Him: Oh. *starts recording himself speaking*

I get up, unplug the fan, go to the room, plug the fan back in, get into bed. Babe is right behind me.

Him: *singing a Rick Ross song*
Me: Come onnnnnn.
Him: I'm sorry, I'll stop bothering you...Two minutes later... *farts, laughs*
Me: Soo you just gon' fart in front of the fan that's blowing in my direction? That's funny? *goes back into living room*
Him: *follows me back out* I'm sorry babe, come back in.

I go back to bed. He's still harassing me.
Him: Ok babe, you can sleep now, I'll leave you alone.
Me: *Nap ruined, fully awake*
Him: *A few minutes later...* I'm going to my mom's to cut the grass, be back later.

Fin.

daydreamer

I daydream in vignettes. My current daydream is of me in my first apartment, baking cupcakes or making dinner, dancing around in a t-shirt and underwear to an Adele playlist [the title comes from my favorite song from her cd "19"]. I can't wait for this to be a reality in just a little over a week from now.

up next...

I wanna repurpose this

[obviously without the tank] into a bar.
