So much to say ...

Since last week Monday I had been formulating a blog in my mind. The problem is this, what I had to say might infringe on someone elses privacy. I know I've said it before.. it's my blog and I don't give a damn.. but due to the sensitive nature of the issue I'm somewhat forced to be censored and what fun is that... so I'll say this much...for 2008 as with each year... edit your friends. Think about who adds substance, love, or even just plain ole laughter to your life and who does the very opposite... and govern yourself accordingly.

My plan for 2008 is to be more interactive.

I'm very much a cyber friend. I'm always online and can be reached online. In fact most of the time that's how I communicate with the outside world. This upcoming year... since I would have already edited my friends... I plan to call more, visit more, be an active participant of our Caribbean book club (you hear Sheri!!)... many times it's the death of a friend or family member that reminds us that life is too short. Think of those that won't get to see 2008 and life your life to the fullest in honor of them.

"Accidental" Meeting.

This past weekend I had another visit from my mom. Friday night I went to One Scotch @ Sosta... best one yet (at this venue). Then Saturday.. Big Phat Fish @ Big Fish... I decided to bring my mother with me so she could witness the madness first-hand. It wasn't much madness but still, she was able to see the heaps of lovely ladies coming in donning their wonderful heels and seeing them limping out a mere 3 hours later. The drunken tiffs that were snuffed out by security before it turned into a full-blown fight. The lovers quarrels, et al. Then of course the drive home at 6a.m. She was a trooper, adhering to the most important rule of all.. "if I can't sleep, then you can't sleep". She tried to nod off on me on the way home, but I was not having that. I think also that the overall plan was a success. See, when I usually come home at 6a she wakes up at 9a after a full nights rest and wakes me to take her wherever at 10a... hellooooooo, so NOT time to wake up yet. This time she experienced the night life for herself.. and most importantly... no early morning wake up.

On Monday I woke up expecting to be a passenger to the airport, but the driver had other plans. So I had to take her to the airport. I hadn't showered barely combed my hair and Lord knows if my clothes matched. After all, I was just dropping her at the airport.. right?

After our goodbyes, I checked in at home on the food situation, and basically I was on my own. So I decided it was as good a time as any for some Cheesecake pancakes from IHop. Unfortunately I would have been going alone, but considering my state of dress it wasn't such a bad idea. Besides.. it was afternoon at IHOP on a Monday, who the hell I know would be there.. nobody.. so I was safe. Or so I thought. Upon pulling in, I saw two friends from college, who I hadn't seen in a lonnnnnnnnggggg time. Despite the fact that we basically live in the same neighborhood. We're all on myspace and facebook and hi5, so we're not totally out of touch. T was off from work that day and his wife decided to play hooky from work, so here we all were @ Ihop!

We had a delicious breakfast and caught up and hoped to stay in touch offline. It was so nice to meet up with old friends. No pretenses. No airs. Because they know what you look like drunk, broke. sad, happy, excited and they like you anyway.

China!

This seems to be a great year for China.



The Survivor team this year went to a remote part of China for this seasons show. Same as Ms. Tyra Banks, who chose China as this years destination for her show's (America's Next Top Model) final segment to be filmed. Then as luck would also have it... Miss World 2007 was to be crowned in China and guess who won? Yup. Miss China.



Then also as extra icing on the cake.. next year the Summer Olympic games will also be hosted in Beijing CHINA! Big year for China I say.
