Flickr to Blogger

These are the pictures I've linked to Blogger from my Flickr Photostream.

I have posted other pictures via Hello and Blogger Images, but since there isn't a way to manage or view the images that have been posted aside from inline or following the link to the larger image, they were not included.

I broke my camera on my recent trip to Florida, so I may not be posting as many images.

I'm Sick!

Not feeling well. I got this cold earlier this week. My nostrils are on fire, my tongue hurts. I am congested. I have a runny nose. I've been getting frequent headaches, that hurt to the point where my vision is blurred. M!ck3y and Stephanie are not helping these headaches any. I feel like I'm being pushed and pulled. I'm so tired of arguing. I don't even know how to let them know how I feel about all of this, I just get quiet.

I woke up this morning with Stephanie sitting on me. Then I heard she went to sleep laying on me. When I woke up again she was wedged between the back of the couch and myself. We hadn't spoken to each other all day, up until about an hour or so ago, when we had a minor argument.

I was supposed to be seeing M!ck3y today. She hasn't called or come. I don't even think she knows how sick I am right now. She and I was supposed to be throwing up a few pages about her Sophomore Class President Campaign. In the process she'd learn a little more HTML. Just got a call from her, she couldn't make it.

I haven't been eating. I kinda chose to do so, I want to alter my eating habits. I am trying to wean myself to 900 calories for a while. I want to drop down to between 250 and 225 lbs. and have a 40-42" waist. Right now I'm a flabby 285 lbs. with a 44-46" waist. My composition fluctuates. I did loose around 50 lbs. possibly more this summer, so I'm down from about 335. I am kinda disgusted right now, I just saw a picture of myself in my skivvies and it was gross. I know some of you think me being pudgy or whatever you call it at the moment is cute, but it isn't me. I am not comfortable this way. I never have been. I just never really did anything about it. My physiology always just seemed to change during the warmer months. Whether I am active or not — with the exception of last year, when I was very active — and I loose weight.

Sick of sitting in this sty. I started cleaning up last night and couldn't continue. I feel like I'm doing it all alone. No matter how much I clean up it seems like so much more is dirtied in it's place.

Anyhow, I am going to rest my throbbing head.

Give To Katrina

I have the Red Cross link at the top right. Just in case the Red Cross is involved in the uneven distribution of wealth, the New York Times lists other charities. Please choose one or two, give what you can. A lot of you know I'm unemployed and pretty much homeless, I am trying to find a way to give something this week. My sister works for Chase and they are matching their employees' contributions.

What if Giuliani was President right now?

I have said it before and will say it again — Giuliani was a good, no great mayor. If he ran for president, he'd get my vote. Face it, since Bush became president the country has been in a downward spiral.

See Giuliani was out there with us, when we had shit to go thru. I remember this. I remember him endorsing the Democrat who opposed Pataki, because it was good for New York. Not Republican or Democrats, but for everyone.

Leadership is about details (or "What if Giuliani was President right now?") - The Jason Calacanis Weblog - calacanis.weblogsinc.com _

Say what you want about Giuliani but that guy is a born leader, and if he was running the show right now he would be down there and would be getting into the details… As a leader you have to obsesses over the details not because you’re going to solve every problem yourself, but because you create a culture of CARING ABOUT THE DETAILS.

You show up two days later (as in 9/11 and in this case) it sends a message (in this case, “it can wait”).

You escort people to saftey and you go to every single fireman’s funeral and it sends another message (in Giuliani’s case that sends the message that you care about every person on your team—a lot!). How many funerals has Bush been to? I don’t know the answer to that question, but I’ve never seen him at one.

If I was the President of the country I would be on the ground in the command center with my entire team and NO ONE would sleep for the next three days or until things were under control. NO ONE.

This is more about how Bush is handling the situation on the Gulf Coast. He has that "It's out of my hands" attitude. He didn't cause it, but it's going to take everyone to help fix it. No one will try is it's treated as a minor issue.

Seems like passive genocide. I believe it's true that the supplies are not being distributed equally. The less well to do are getting last and the better off are getting first.

Kanye put it best and he's gonna take shit for it for a long time, "George Bush doesn’t care about black people." You can see it for yourself: Kanye Telethon clip.

Like I said before the new iTunes interface will take some getting used to. I do like it tho. It's a cleaner more visible interface.

I wonder if this is a new direction for Apple apps.

Apple WWDC

iTunes 5, originally uploaded by Dramatic. This is the new interface for iTunes. I think it might take a little bit of getting used to.

Did you see all the cool shit Apple put out today at WWDC? Those were just a few.

Just One of Them Days

Ever have one of those days when you feel like everything come out your mouth is wrong?

Labor Day

Labor Day: Belize, originally uploaded by Dramatic. The girl at the top of the truck was inviting me to ride with her and blowing kisses at me and dancing for me. She made me feel so special. When they were leaving, she waved and blew me one final kiss.

Labor Day: Jamaica, originally uploaded by Dramatic.

The parade was great. I had an alright day. I went to "The Parkway" and saw some minor stuff. We couldn't get closer to the gate because we didn't get there early enough. I wished I had stayed home although I was happy to be out.

I had not been to the parade in about 10, maybe more, years. The one positive change I could see was that all the nationalities were not separate, they were all together, unified. I mean the best group I saw was the Jamaicans that followed the Haitians. They shouted out everyone and called for them to waive their respective flags. That was the shit!

I wish I had more booty shots tho. There is always next year.

Rate Me

The "Rate Me" links in my sidebar are an experiment and a challenge. If you have been reading my blog for a while you have seen me mention on several occasions that I seem to get a lot of attention from women and that my friends, mainly M!ck3y and Ti'Lesa, are always pointing it out and sometimes make a big deal about it.

The challenge was to see if I can accept criticism. I think I can, otherwise I wouldn't allow myself to be rated.

I expected to be rated between a 2 and 4. I certainly did not expect to rate as high as a 7.4 and be "hotter than 71% of men."

BLACK MAN CAKE!

I wanted to share something a new friend of mine wrote. Hehehe, it could be a description of me. Not only is she beautiful, but she's talented also.
