Productive Friday

I had a very productive Friday, December 5, 2008. I accomplished most of the tasks I had planned for the day. That validates my reason for proclaiming today productive!

I started bright and early this morning. I just couldn't get to sleep after showering off last night's work smell! I sat up, surfed the Internet, watched various news programs and infomercials, and listened to Yahoo Music via my Yahoo Messenger.

For a little while, I surfed my Helium account and checked the stats there. I'm new to submitting to Helium and currently my ranking is not where it should be. According to a couple of the site's "channel stewards" I shouldn't be concerned with that so much; my quality will prove itself. That was reassuring and I felt a little inner elation for my efforts.

I plan to check on my Ciao account as well. It's also a current venture of mine and it's full of possibilities too. It focuses on product reviews and I feel it has intrinsic value to the Internet world.

Haircut? Got a helluva service at the barbershop today too. I am so impressed with the professionalism of "Mike" at the shop and his sharp skills behind the blades at Heavenly Cuts on North Tryon. As long as he keeps me tight, his business is alright!

Sounds a little Jesse Jacksonish!!! I am literally laughing-out-loud to myself. Anyhow, I am satisfied and that's all that matters anyway when it comes to me spending my hard earned money. Kapish!

Got more clipper spray for my clippers. This stuff is a must-have for maintaining your product and sanitary use as well. I believe in protecting my health at all costs, no need to skimp on your well being. (I wish my family members would utilize this thought process; that is, the ones that need to. You know who you are!)

That's just like wanting some Oreo's and buying an off brand. That flavor of the off brand does not satisfy your taste request. You basically "wasted" your time and money with that purchase. Now, had you just wanted a chocolate cookie with a cream filling; that off brand would have probably sufficed. You get the point.

I definitely believe I deserve the best of everything and I treat myself as such. I am not selfish in a negative or derogatory manner; but in a natural self-preservation type of way. I am selfish toward survival. It's still survival of the fittest out here!

And I have a weakness for taters, all of them! I love sweet potatoes and white potatoes basically anyway you prepare them. Baked, fried, stewed, creamed, sauteed, stuffed, dipped, grilled, whipped, pureed, and shredded! You do it, I'll eat it! They are truly my favorite foods!

Sorry about that rant. I said all of that to say, I had some potato wedges from the neighborhood spot today too. That's one of my favorite places to go and get some "banging spuds" when I get the urge. That's at least 4 times a week generally.

And Bojangles supplies my sweet potato weakness in a flaky, tasty pie crust fritter!

Give me my Dunkin Donuts coffee, my Bojangles's sweet potato pie and seasoned fries; I'm done and it's a wrap! For real, that simple. Happy and carefree with that combo for sure. How sad is that?

I had them all together today and that to me is productive. It is Friday, December 5 and unseasonably cold for this time of year here in Charlotte, but it is cool with me and I was productive.

It's still early, but it doesn't look like I'll be having Tequila Sunrise's tonight. Cuzzo called me in the middle of this post and said he was feeling under the weather. That usually means NO but it is still early. It's up in the air and I have nothing else to add to that.
