pearls

i got the idea for this post from the book turned movie, "raisin' under the sun." very good book. i read the book and then i watched the older movie with sidney poitier. recenlty i watched the newer version with diddy and other people. if you haven't read the book nor watched the movie then you need to because i will not explain the movie to you.

pearls....very expensive...but oh so beautiful. in then sense, well my sense it's more important than diamonds. (well..right now lol) when i look at my woman i want to do so much for her...it's like right now i don't want to pay any bills or save any money. i would love to just grab krystal by the wrist and run to the mall grab her anything she wants (plus some shoes for myself). but one thing i would love to be able to do is put some real pearls around krystal's neck.

i think that's every man's goal. maybe not with pearls, diamonds, or even non material things. if we have that special somebody one of our goals is to work hard and be able to get our girl that one thing. that one thing that means so much...maybe not as much as an engagment ring but close.

my pearl necklace would just tell krystal everything without me saying a word. with all my hard work i will be able to get pearls for my woman one day. just stay tuned for that chief.

rules & regulations (pedestrian x.ing)

okay, moved out to arizona from baltimore...tempe to be exact. now everyone should know that its pretty much asu town (aka white people city). now driving around out here i learned some very important rules to pedestrian crossing that i didnt know before. you see...in baltimore...theres not that many people walking around in the streets...and if they are...its like the car has the right away cause we will hit you in baltimore.

so anyway! here in arizona, when the little "walk guy" is on...everyone takes their time crossing the street! i'm like "cmon! move your a%$!!" yes you have the right away but im trying to get somewhere!

then check this...if the person is walking on the sidewalk...you still have to wait for them, because theyre not going to stop walking...they're just going to keep going...even if they're like 50 away from the street. these white folks wont stop anything...they dont even look!

bicycles...yep...they could be 3 football fields away...they will gun for the crosswalk without a whistle, horn, or anything. i swear to beans i almost hit like 3 bicyclists out here cause they just fly across the crosswalk. crazy!

all this stuff it legal...and i hate that. these pedestrians have the law on their side and they use it....the use it well. but there is one thing....you people on your bicycles...it's illegal to ride youre bike in a crosswalk....you have to hop off and walk your bike across...so maybe i can hit a bicyclist and get away with it.

so to all my east coast city friends...especially the ones in baltimore...if you come out to arizona..make sure to go to the mva, pick up a traffic law book, and watch out for those pedestrians crossing!

chasing pavement (adele concert)

last night krystal and i attended the adele concert at the marquee theater here in tempe, arizona.

boy was it great! she is really just a great singer. she put on about a 45 minute show where she did a bunch of her songs and some cover songs. adele has to be one of the best vocalists in the game right now. her performance was great last night and what was funny was that she was nervous! adele was very nervous last night. when she first came out last night it was dark and she seemed fine and was singing very well, but as soon as the lights turned on and she saw all the people...she jumped, laughed, put her hands over her mouth, and ran away from the mic. adele was also very funny last night. she talked about her grammy win, irish men, and her experiences here in america. it was a great show last night and i am going to try my best to get tickets for her show in june in hollywood.

make sure you go out and BUY her cd 19.

and you can go download her mixtape with mick boogie (which is awesome!) for free at www.mixtapetorrent.com

a new band, the script opened up for adele. it was a band from ireland and i must say...they were pretty good. the dude on the guitar got down! (lol) and the lead singer had super duper energy. the script put on a show!

i won't tell you to go run out and get their cd but go check out their music on their myspace page.

and check out the pictures on my facebook page!

ode to five pack (white v-necks)

to my non-color cotton companion:


it is you who are there for me in my time of need
when it takes me thirty minutes to get dressed, it is you who comes to the rescue with nothing smart to say.


when i look over you for another cotton t-shirt for the day, you never bring it back in my face for not choosing you.


you don't discriminate nor are you prejudice. you get along with every pair of jeans and every pair of shoes i own. you're simple....and that what makes me love you.


you're my best friend white v-neck shirt. thank you for being there for me. and i will continue.......


....to wear you.

new angel (merceda fondren)

i consider you a close friend ceda. i remember meeting you back in the 7th grade at meade middle. man remember mrs. holt's class?!?! oh man that was so much fun. you, me, jerry, veronica and everybody else who i can't remember at this here moment (lol). those were the days! and what about going trick-or-treating? (yeah i said it!) we were like 13, 14 still going out for candy. then there was the step squad with mrs. reynolds. i miss those days cause we didn't have any cares in the world. oh! what about severn football?!? you and your sister used to cheer for my mom. (lol) she was so crazy. remember the time coach jd let her coach a football game? (lol) that was so funny cause she was all on the sideline yelling stuff and she didn't even know what she was yelling about. and even though in high school we kinda went our separate ways, you were still always there for me just as i was for you. you have always remained the same person. always caring and nice...and just flat out retarded. you used to say the most dumbest, random, disgusting things for no reason. i remember you used to just walk up next to me and just be like "stand here and block me while i pick this booger." or you would fart and then come up and say, "i just pooted."

then after high school came college. we still kept in touch and you were still the same person. that is whats so great about you. ever since the 7th grade, you have been the same person. then what maybe a year and a half ago we became close again. hanging out and talking on the phone almost everyday. then you moved to new mexico and we still kept talking. then i! made the move out to arizona and we were so excited cause now i was only maybe like 4 hours away. we made plans to see each other this summer....

i really wish...i would have come to see you when i first came down to arizona...cause there were weekends where me and krystal weren't doing anything the whole weekend. im sure i could have called you up and just be like, "me and krystal are coming!" but i thought we would have the whole summer to hang out. i wanted to take a picture by an 'albuquerque' sign and then say, "i should have made a left at albuquerque!" i knew that when we got together it would be fun! then i found out you were pregnant! man! im like, "ceda, a mom?" i couldn't believe it.

last sunday i received a message from mrs. reynolds telling me the tragic news. that you were gone. i didn't know what to do, i didn't know what to say. i'm going to miss you ceda...very much. my prayers are with your family.

love you,

antoine

ps: my mom said, even though you will be missed....this is still a good thing, cause now you're next to God...in a better place
