Spring Break...
Time To Kick It...


Ahhh... Spring Break... Too bad I can't afford to go to Miami like I planned... I would have really had alot to write about...lol. It feelz good to not have to wake up and do work, but I think I'm going to crack open a book or two tomorrow and catch up on some of the classes that I've fallen behind in... My cousin Maurice iz back in town, so I think me, him and L are gonna go kick it tonight... Everything iz kool otherwise... I just need to find someone to braid and wash my hair so I can go to church tomorrow... All my ladiez (that wash/braid) are out of town for break... *frown* If I could do it mysel, I would... But, regardless of wat u think... Thiz hair is hard az hell to deal wit... Itz that Jamaican bushboi, peaz n' peppa'grain in me... *smile*

Anyway, I need to shave and shower, so I can get outta here...

The Fight...
It Ain't Over...


Damn... Itz been since last Friday, huh? Oops... Sorry to keep you in anticipation... I just haven't gotten around to writing...

Well, I guess I'll start with the obvious... My grandfather... Well...uhm...by the grace of God...and by the strength of family, my grandfather is still here with us, and he's actually doing better. Friday was supposed to be the day when we had a family meeting about what to do about his condition, and we were most likely going to just take him off of the respirator and let him go peacefully... It seems like just when everyone was ready to call it quits (including the doctors), God sighed and said, "Look at the amount of love and joy this one person has brought to so many people... I can't take him away...not yet". I mean, my cousins from New York flew in... Maurice and his friend drove down from Tennessee, and all of us that were already here, all piled into his cramped hospital room, and it was like the elixir (sp?) that no doctor could ever concoct.

I have gone to see him every other day since Friday, and he really seems to be responding well. They are trying to ween him from the air machine, and that was one of his major problems before, but miraculously...he's doing pretty good now... They take him off the respirator for about 4 hours a day and they will steadily increase the amount of time that he'll be taken off, until he's off completely.

Itz so weird tho... Itz like he knew that he was on the brink... The day my mother called and told me about what the family was most likely going to do about his condition, I went to see him, and it was really hard. He looked dark, and just completely out of it... It was like he wasn't even the same person... 24 hours later, when the whole family comes to see him...he'z bright, smiling, and just chillin... I'm surprised he didn't ask me for a rum and coke...*smile* Its funny how God works... It really is... I haven't been to church in a minute, but I really need to start going back, so I'ma prolly go to Rain'z church this Sunday... I just hope they don't attack me with biblical questions, and try and get me to join a cult or somethin'...lol. (j/k)

Speakin' of Rain... I have a really great gyrl... I really mean that... I can be really difficult to deal with at timez, and somehow...someway... She still putz up wit me... and I gotta love her for that... I'ma work at not bein' AS difficult az I am, but I'm spoiled... and when shyt doesn't go my way, I make excuses and place blame on othaz, to make it seem like I'm the victim... *smile* I got a way of twistin shyt around to make it look like I haven't done anything wrong, and the other person has... Hey, what can I say? Itz a gift... *smile* Nah, but on the real... Thiz one here iz special... I can't keep jerkin' her around and expectin' her to be there when I'm done with my fit... So, Duki... If you read thiz... I'm sorry... I'ma work at it... Just gimme a lil' time... 20+ yearz of havin' ur way, can't be fixed overnight... P.S. Blame my mom! Not me!!! *smile*

Friday, after we all left the hospital, we all went back to my momz house for food and just to have family time... I love my fam... I could kick it with my grandma, my uncles, aunts and cousinz, and have just as much, if not more fun than I do wit' my fellaz... Anyway, Rain stopped by, and it really made my day... We were playin' dominoes (The REAL way)... holdin' it down for JA and erry'thing, and she sat by me az "daddy" ran everyone off the table... She even tried to play a couple hands herself, and she did pretty good... I mean...she ain't no Hollywood Cole...but what can I say? She tried... She definitely got alot of fam' pointz that night... She ain't want none of my aunt'z lasagna, but I don't think that'll hurt her "pointwise" too, too much... *smile* Nah, she'z good... I'll make sure of it...

Anyway, thatz about it... Spring Break iz next week, but I won't be going anywhere... I need to keep my ass at home and get myself "financially stable", so I can start takin' care of these billz and other thingz that I want, but can't afford... So, I'll be workin' this break...(Oh yeah, I got my job back at the Y!... I forgot to tell ya!) I'll keep ya posted if anything new popz off... Until then... I'm out!!!
