Friday In DC

Friday is finally here. It's a sort of a rainy Friday here in DC, but that's cool. The temperature is really mild for this time of year so I wore the light jacket and hat that you see on my photo. I'm a man of many hats and jackets. I have to keep this bald head warm in the Winter. However, I do like the occasional feel of a cool rain on my head. :-) I am looking forward to relaxing this weekend and, of course, watching the Super Bowl. I think that I'm going with Pittsburgh?? I'll decide while the game is in progress. It'll depend on my mood. I think that I will just watch it at home with family instead of a party or sports bar. Anyway, happy Friday and I hope that it's not raining where you are, but maybe you're like me and you don't mind the rain. Rainy days always remind me of Marvin Gaye's (DC's Own) album, What's Going On. Yes, the entire album. I say album because if you get a chance to see the original album there's a picture of Marvin on the inside wearing a dark overcoat and he is walking in the rain. He has a pensive look on his face. Anyway, be safe and have a great weekend.

Ain't Nothin'

Good morning! Happy Friday!

You know everytime I get on my blog I am reminded of the 90's Hip Hop group, The Pharcyde. They had this song called "Somethin' That Means Somethin'." In the song they are chanting, ".....I got say somethin' that means somethin'......somethin' that means somethin'...." It was that pressure from the rap community at the time to rap about "somethin' that means somethin'"and not a bunch of bullshit. Well, sometimes you just want to talk or ramble and you may not have anything in mind, but you just want to vent. You simply want to talk about your day or just talk about you. I want to just talk about me today. What about me?

I am currently drinking some green tea with honey. It has a delicious taste, but some lemon flavoring would really set it off. What else would set it off! I mean really set it off........on the left y'all set it off on the right y'all.......set it off! Watch out! You're showin' your age! I know! A bottle of wine and great conversation with a brownskinned (actually Black, brown, or bright) lady would also be nice. That's setting it off! How about some dinner? Yes, I am ready to order! I'll have your grilled Salmon....medium with a lemon butter dill sauce and some garlic mashed potatoes. Yeah! That's settin' off.....fo sho! Hey wait ayyyyyy minute! I can't forget dessert. I won't some cake.....oh yes! It's called Death By Chocolate! So so moist. That was good. Now, I think that I'll have another drink. Yes, I'll have a Long Island Iced Tea. Oh yeah, I am ready to board the Long Island ferry and take it on home. that's settin' it off!
Anyway, I am rambling as promised but I just want to have a good weekend and I think that I will. I will hang out a little and hopefully get in some rest and relaxation. I'll also do a little reading and maybe visit my mother and sister at some point. As always it is great to be alive. Happy Friday!!!

I'm So Glad...

Good morning-

It's Friday!!! What more can you say about that if you are the Monday-Friday 9 to 5er like I am. I'm living for the weekend like the O'Jays. I love the weekend especially this time of year. I want to describe a typical weekend in the life of Stephen. Friday night is always up in the air. I may do just about anything from going out to Happy Hour or going out on a date. There are those Fridays when I don't feel like anything and I just stay in and watch a movie. I get a fresh start Saturday morning with a nice little workout and a trip to Salvation Army store on H St. I may head over to Eastern Market if I'm in the mood for a nice crowd. You can find some really great stuff there. Friday night and Saturday night are both freestyle unless I've made plans. Daytime is for reading, relaxation and hanging out. The next thing you know it is Sunday and the weekend is coming to an end. Sunday is whatever I feel like. It may be a day of recovery from the night before or an attempt to redeem myself with a religious service. Every now and then I'll head out to a nice brunch with friends or family. At any rate, in the words of Debbie Deb weekends were made for fun! Ya'll don't know anything about Debbie Deb unless you were in High School in the 80's. You'd have to be at least 30 something. Ok, I'm out. Have a great weekend. Peace~
