I need to find a family! Yes, Jose Cuervo told me to find myself a family for real tonight!
I was literally sipping on a concoction of Jose, orange juice, and cherry liqueur; essentially my all time favorite, Tequila Sunrise, when the thought violently landed in my psyche.
Truthfully, I've felt that way for quite a while recently. The more I think about my immediate family and our interactions the more I am saddened generally. Wow, I can't believe I actually said it. But, I am usually disappointed with the outcomes.
It appears that chaos is ruled as okay in my family. Along with betrayal, back-stabbing, slander, sexual indiscretions, disrespect, and a total disregard for others feelings. Unfortunately, I think so many members are just afraid to take a stand against this bull shit. It shouldn't ever be allowed and overlooked. That only makes the behavior worsen.
Sometimes I think, no matter how hard you try to live by example, some folks just can't see the light of day and act accordingly. To me I think it is a direct effect of "selfishness" outright. You don't teach selfishness, you become it by not caring about others whether connected by blood or not. I'm sure this is available in all families to a degree but mine has an over abundance I think!
This has bothered me emotionally for an entire year. I have voiced my concerns to the immediate members of my family to no avail. They appear to understand what I have been saying but have yet to address it personally. To that I say, to each his own. That's the overwhelming consensus. I'm done with this topic.

What Do You Know About Affiliate Marketing?
For quite a while now, I've been searching the Internet for opportunities that are legitimate and can be performed from home or a mobile office with financial success. In addition, I've been trying to analyze the growth potential for such ventures as well. I've found that there are many viable opportunities available, with some true dedication and will, that can be profitable if executed.
In the near future I will be launching a full service affiliate marketing site that caters to the unemployed and hard to employ category. With an emphasis on self sufficiency instead of dependency on others.
Affiliate marketing is basically you "affiliating" with a "company, brand, product, or service" available online. You have an agreement to basically help them develop business either through traffic to the site, sales of the products and or services, signing up for offers, and so forth. You in turn receive "commissions, residuals" on a periodic basis by check, pay pal, wire transfer, or direct deposit into your present accounts. This in turn helps all parties involved and can be done completely from the comfort of home or a small mobile office setting; without a boss, FOR YOURSELF. Imagine that.
You just need the resources and the drive. I am finally at a point in my life where I'm so tired of making excuses for the "excuses in my life" and plan on moving past that now and doing me for a change. I am about helping others by nature and "granny wisdom" but I have needs as well and I am going to start addressing them more often.
Stay tuned.

Reserve Perrin--Cotes du Rhone--2006
Thanks Liz for my "Birthday Gift". I thoroughly enjoyed it, alone!!!
CADILLAC RECORDS!!....Go See It!
You must go out and see the new Sony Pictures movie, "Cadillac Records" starring Adrian Brody, Jeffrey Wright, and my love, Beyonce Knowles as the beloved Etta James.
It is a riveting movie showcasing the transition of Ms. B to the role of "executive producer" as well. I was so impressed with that fact alone.
Cadillac Records portrays the lives of some of our most memorable musicians during the start of the Rock-n-Roll era. Jeffrey Wright does a "Jamie Foxx" with his portrayal of Muddy Waters. He becomes "muddy" and electrifies the big screen. I have developed an even deeper respect for his talent. He deserves an "OSCAR" nod, hands down, no question.
Mos Def makes his appearance as the smooth-crooning Chuck Berry. Mos Def is truly an entertainer made to act. He almost stole the show with his charm. Another potential award winner is he. I sincerely hope this cast is not overlooked!
Adrian Brody almost made me cringe. He brought his "A" game for sure to this project. Gabrielle Union was worth mentioning as well. She is polished and a great patroness of her craft. Ms. Union had me holding back the tears during one scene when it was revealed that she could not bear kids!!!
Beyonce as Etta was truly a treat. To all those that doubt her talent; go out and see "Cadillac Records" for yourself.

Thank You's for now......more Later?
I must say that "born day's" are such a blessing. We aren't guaranteed a certain number when born. It is up to us to cherish each one, each day, and each blessing and well wish from our loved ones and acquaintances.
I am humbled even more by well wishes on my born day and was not satisfied by the love??????
My sis Boss, my roomie, wished me a happy birthday "early" so that she wouldn't forget. Lol. She was thoughtful enough to get me some cheap house slippers. Thanks Boss, I appreciate the effort.
I plan to keep them for a long awaited trip I'm planning in the near future!
My baby sis, Neck, called right after midnight on Monday night and was actually the first "official" Happy Birthday I received. I love my baby sis Neck so much and appreciate it. She WAS thinking about little ole me!
Cuzzo was next at 4:18am on December 9th. I sincerely love myself some Cuzzo. He is my best friend and I hate when I can't see him. Unfortunately, I was unable to see Cuzzo on my born day because he has finals at the local community college. I am all about academics, so, get that "A" bitch!
Cuzzo called again at 9:40am, then Leen called at 10:03am and left me a voice mail. Leen is my godson's mom and co-worker. She is a dear friend, a mess, and a lot of fun. She is a whole story in itself. Love ya Leen!
Boss called at 11:14am officially. Thanks bay. You know I love your messy ass!
Moma called at 11:25am officially. I know she was trying to wait until my Actual Birth Time!!! She said she couldn't wait til 12:01pm. No problem mom, I love you regardless. You brought me into t!he world and made all this possible. I will be forever in your debt.
My little church sister, Enya, called me today and wished me a happy b-day. I was surprised by the call and "tied up" at the time. I must return her call and say thanks.
My girl from the hood, GB in Georgia, called "out the blue" and wished me a happy b-day. She also wanted Neck's number for something. Any Who!!!
A new "friend" of mine, from the job, called me today as well. Now, I am actually really interested in this person and I was not expecting to hear from them today! Talk about birthday gifts! I was pleasantly surprised and we made plans for later this week. I'll keep you posted.
Remember, I am backed up people; but definitely not desperate for some ACTION!!!
When I explode, You explode...Believe that.
And that's basically it.
MY BAD
Actually, I had a meeting at work today. It was one of our mandatory weekly meetings being imposed by our new retail manager. I was actually glad to attend the meeting being I didn't have any real plans for my born day. I received nothing but LOVE at the workplace.
My cohorts and coworkers wished me well. I am truly blessed to have such a loving work environment and loving people in my circle.
One of my managers gave me a bottle of French wine. I am very thankful for her thoughtfulness and will share my experiences with consumption of the gift!
IN CLOSING
I thoroughly enjoyed my born day overall. I am a simple man and I don't require much to be content. I had a nice outing at the movies and some Tequila Sunrises and I made another statistic null and void.

I Like Monday Night Football and...
The home team, Carolina Panthers executed last night and we got a much deserved hard fought win over division foe Tampa Bay. The Buccaneers came ready to play and this was obvious early on in play.
Carolina managed to drive to the red zone on the first possession and connected with a Kasey field goal to give us the early lead. Cadillac Williams returned to the TB line-up and contributed somewhat; but not enough to hurt the Panthers.
Rookie sensation, Jonathan Stewart worked out a first half TD following a Tampa Bay FG with 1:56 left in the first half. The Panthers closed out the first half of Monday Night Football with a 10 to 3 lead.
After halftime, it was basically ALL Panthers!
Our running back tandem of "Slash and Dash" made their respective presences known as well. Both RB's rushed for over 100 yards each at an average of at least 6 yards per carry. This is simply remarkable at this stage of the season! De Angelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart showed their heart and grit Monday night. These young men worked for their salaries and entertained at the same time.
I think so, or maybe it's the Tequila! The game was competitive and this made the ending more compelling. I couldn't have scripted it better. LOL.
That feat by the Panthers was historic. That's what's up Panthers!
Final score, Panthers 38 and Buccaneers 23. We are now 10-3 here in Panther Country.
