A new turn on vending machines

An Ipod vending machine?!

What??

I snapped this shot with my cell phone, texted my friends about this, and they acted like it was a normal thing!

Talking about "you just seeing one of those?"

huh?

Yeahhhh! lol

Wow...so what else are we going to be able to get out of vending machines in a couple years, hmm?

Fast food??

Lol...we are living in the future....it's amazing...but scary.

Robots are gonna take over our jobs...over our world.

Beware

Peace & Blessings

MMMMmmmm Samoas.

Yes. Orders are in.

And my sister's a scout.

I got my orders of my favorite cookie.

Excuse me while I become the cookie monster and indulge in this oral pleasure.

Oh.

Peace & Blessings

Backslide!!

Wow.
Wow. Wow. Wow.
So I'm riding with my dunns (yeah, had to take it back to 98. Queensbridgeeeee! lmao) and we stopped at a Mickey D's before we went back to my mans apartment to play Rockband.
pause.
Rockband has to be one of the best games I've played in a loooonngggg time. Invest in it.
Period.
play.
So we pull up to the drive thru, and we're trying to get our orders together, and we hear "Ay, hold on."
Ay?
What happened to "Welcome to McDonalds, can I take your order?"
After a few minutes we start to say our orders, and the guy says that he can't hear us, so we should pull up to the window.
We pull around to the window and see this young man, a clean cut dude, respected for getting his hustle on.
I start to argue with my brother about who's paying for us while my best friend orders what he wants.
I turn to the guy to place my order, and he says, "For future reference, let us know when you got more than one order."
The heck?! This aint no luxury restaurant! There are no rules at McDonalds! I tell you what I want, and you give it to me!
Nuff said!
"Okay." my best friend says.
He doesn't end there.
My lil brother asks for a discount (he works at Micky's to), and the guy looks at us with a blank stare...i guess he was letting his mind work for another stupid thing to say.
I was right.
"What that supposed to mean? You get a discount? Shit, I wish it worked like that. I'd get mine!" He sneered as I gave him the debit card. What the hell was his problem?
It wasn't even his words that made me mad...
it was the tone...the facial expression...the attitude.
he definately had one.
I said nothing...I just tried to hold it in and examine the situation.
He hadn't said, or did anything too rude yet...No reason to trip.
I spoke too soon.
I was talking to my brother, and all of a sudden something landed on my lap.
I looked down.
it was the debit card.
The stupid boy threw the debit card through the window.
he trew the card at me.
I looked at him, and he held the same sneer as he took the next order.
"I said, can I take your order?"
Before I could think of whether I was gonna throw my ided tea at him, My best fried pulled off. We heard him yelling behind us...
"Aight, remember! Let us know if it's more than one order."
I sat there in awe...tried to form my thoughts together...I didn't know what to say or do, so I started a rant about how ignorant the guy was to the ethics of customer service.
As usual, my best friend took the side of the hoodlum.
"I don't get mad about things like that anymore. You have to expect that. You have to adapt." he said.
As if the treatment was normal.
What...in..the...world?
Milah, if you're reading this, when we pulled off, I said I wished you were there...
cuz you would have broke his little heart for trying us like that...lol.
Man, I'm glad I held myself together. Because that was uncalled for.
I was about to backslide.
God bless him.

ugh.
Peace & Blessings

What in the WORLD?!

Okay, I know most of my posts have been about love, hurt, and lust, and the mushy gushy.
We're gonna deter away from that for a lil bit...haha.
Let's take a peek at the world.
First off...gas prices.

What in the WORLD?
I go to get gas, and they're asking me for $3.15- a gallon!
Whyyyyyy? Why must it be like $70 to fill up my tank, hmm?
I hear that foreclosures are at an all time high now, due to a mess up in loans, and things of the sort...
My mother says it's due to us still being in the war- it's ruining the economy.
May I ask why we're still overseas?
I mean, I support the troops, but I DO NOT support the war. Bring our troops home, damnit!
Bush refuses to pull us out, and everything is looking bad! Everything...
And this McCain guy, who's running to be the next repub pres (by the way, if he gets in, I'm packing up and leavvviiinnnggggg) says that he refuses to pull the troops if he gets into office. He says he's going to wait until the war is won, even if it takes 100 years- quote, unquote. He says he doesn't want people to look at America and say we backed down...wow. Just like a republican.
okay, so the innocent dying everyday for NO reason,
gas prices being disgusting,
the economy looking terrible, etc. is not enough to get us out, huh?
we're using TRILLIONS of dollas to fight this stupid, useless war. We can really put all that money towards something else that will change the world- for the better.
We have no more money for the war, so we're borrowing loot from China...
and we're allowing them to import things to us for free as collateral...
Therefore, they're sending over lead laced toys for our babies to play with, and dog food that makes our dogs sick...
real rap. Is it really worth it?
They say we're over there now to help them out with their government.
um...can we worry about US (get it?) for now? lol. we have TOO many problems over here to be trying to solve another countries'.
Wow, do I have a disdain for the typical republican...
like one of my damn roomates. ugh.
Isn't it said that the bigger man is the one who knows when to walk away- and does it?
Speaking of humility, Hillary is REALLY doing her witchcraft to try and win...but Obama is being really humble about it.
I had respect for her...but she's trying so hard to disrespect my man, O!

Basically...she's saying...in the middle of the night, who do you trust? This white woman, or this black man? hmmm?
What experience does she have regarding foreign policy??
they actually asked her that, and we just heard crickets...
her campaign is based on "I have the experience, he doesn't."
Obama's basically is "Even though you have the experience, at the end of the day you need to make the right choices!"
Clinton was running out of money, so she pulled 5 mill from her anus and gave it to her campaign to help out.
The question is...where did she get this 5 mill from? Tax returns were requested, and she refused to hand them over...gave excuse after excuse...
hmmmm...
Hillary is spreading lies...and doing everything she can to win. Her and her husband are playing dirty...
I won't explain, because it'll take pages. Just know...they're not being fair.
Obama's advisor, Samantha Power, called Hilary a monster...haha.
"She is stooping to anything!"
call it what it is, baby!
Hill's even trying to help out McCain...anybody but O, huh? Saying she knows what she's doing and has what's needed to back it up, McCain has the same, and Obama "just has the same old sppech from years ago."
Whatev.
Obama says he's not going to allow himself to be pulled into a knife fight. That's what I call a real man (no homo). Pardon his back.
They ignore Hillary's Whitewater scandal, but they get on Obama because he smoked a lil weed when he was a teen? Come onnnn!
That's why he's so deep...haha. jk. I don't support that, but it's his past. leave it there.
Don't let the witch trick you! Vote obama 08!
Not for black power,
Not for white power,
Just the power of love;
The power of change.
We can do it.
I woke up today in Atlanta, and it was snowing- in March!
What in the WORLD?
The world is coming to an end...you better pray. lol.

Peace & Blessings

Customer

For wifey?
haha...no question!
I love Raheem...he has that 'ne0 soul' like sound...what I call real music...
substance- which is extremely hard to find nowadays.
Love Behind The Melody- That's that disk, baby!
Guys, if you don't know how to treat your woman, listen to the CD, and take notes! haha...
See me, I just relate to Raheem...haha. jk...
but not really...lol
He's going on tour with Jill Scott...
wow, do I choose the wrong times to be single...
I'd LOVE to take my shorty there...
Or, the J.Holiday and Trey Songz tour...
Or the Alicia Keys and NeYo tour...
ugh. life.
maybe I can go alone, and catch a glimpse of Miss Hollywood...what a coinky-dink that'd be...

I'ma need to post that poem so you can see what the heck I mean when I mention 'Miss Hollywood'...so you don't think I'm crazy. lol

Wow, do I get off topic?
Think- no, know I'm weird.

Peace & Blessings

King and Queen

I remember when passing these buildings meant something to me...

Meant alot...

A King needs a woman by his side to be his Queen...

As you realize, they're close to each other, yet giving enough space...

They compliment each other...

One is not larger than the other...

They're strong together...

A King and a Queen...building.

I still love the buildings...they still make me think...still mean so much more to me than just any two buildings...

But I won't bore you with that.

At least not right now...lol.

Can't wait until I can find my queen to by at my side like this....

"The life I lead

- fit for a king, now all I need

is a fine lil dyme that's sharing my shine

as we sit back, watch the haters go blind!"-- NeYo (Finer Things

Peace & Blessings

Page 143

I wanted to read a specific page with her
No one else…
I wanted to share that exact read…
Page 143.
She started to read,
but was finished with that page
long before I was.
I found it interesting,
exciting,
very complex- but worth the read.
She found it boring,
tedious,
with big words that she refused to look up…
I told her to read it again; to analyze it more,
pull anything can from it that she could;

asked her to have a little patience,

and she may then seen the astonishing things I saw.
She wanted to turn the page
She let her eyes skim,
but I knew she wasn’t reading.
I pleaded with her to not turn the page,
for I was still reading.
She turned the page.
I turned it back.
She turned the page.
I turned it back.
She turned the page,
I held it up so I could read the page- and she could read the next…...
Seeing her enjoy the passages to come, I closed the book.
New Story.
