Photography: Bar Nun from inside out

Excuse me, but which one is the Champayne Room?

Actually, this a picture from inside the Bar Nun Lounge & Night Club on U Street in DC. As you can see I was there way before the party started. I'm meeting my cousin out tonight for a little fun on the town. Maybe I'll end up on U street at some point. It should be cool. Enjoy your weekend! Peace~

I just have a taste for some Red Stripe. This is a picture of the now recycled bottle that I had last Saturday. My wife calls her my Jamaican girlfriend. I love this beer, but I only drink it once in a while. Don't worry, If I do have one there will be a designated driver. I don't drink and drive....anymore (can't lie).
Have a great weekend! Peace~

Hanging Out With Lil Bro

Ahhhh....Friday is here and I am so glad! My brother Thomas is here visiting from Atlanta. Our weekend started last night with some dinner at busboys and poets. We also hung out in and around Adams Morgan. I'll tell you the rest on Monday. :) Have a great weekend!

Just Me

Good morning!
I don't have much to say today. I'm chillin. My picture looks like I'm in a sort of pensive state, but I'm really just chillin'. I took that picture about 30 minutes ago at my desk. Otherwise, I am just waiting for 5pm to roll around. Have a great day!

Have a great weekend! I plan to have a relaxing weekend because I have been full speed ahead for the last few weeks. Here's to rest and relaxation. Peace~

It's The Weekend Baby!

I'm going to hang out a little bit after work this evening. I want to meet my cousin G. Bess at Busboys on 14th street in DC if he's available. By the way, It's as if Busboys and Poets was specifically designed for Stephen Bess in mind. I am sure that there are many that feel the same. I might roll solo. Otherwise, I am just going to relax this weekend. Oh, I almost forgot...we were invited to dinner Saturday. That should be nice. Anyway, have a great weekend everyone and try to get into a little bit of trouble...just don't hurt nobody...peace~

Friday Nite

 Friday is finally here and I am about to hop on the subway to one of my favorite Friday night spots, The Utopia on U street. They feature Jazz on Fridays. It's supposed to be a nice weekend here in DC so I am going to make the best of it before the cold weather returns. Peace~

Wrap Up

I am so glad that it is Friday! It's hard for me to stay calm just thinking about the weekend. I think that I will relax tonight???? I don't know. My cousin wants me to meet him on U Street for some after 7 action, but I haven't decided. I hope that this Friday will be better than last. I had fun last week, but my Saturday was shut down because I was sick. It will be different this weekend. I'm staying healthy and clear from "vegetarian cooking." I'll do some writing and a little reading. Maybe I'll finish my short story that I've been working on?? Anyway, Have a great weekend! Pursue something that you've been procrastinating with. It's time for an action plan. Peace and God bless those affected by the hurricane.

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~

A Fresh Perspective

Good morning-

This weekend was interesting to say the least. I had a great time in Chicago and seemed to experience nearly every inch of the town. It was a great mini vacation. One of the most interesting aspects of that trip was the ride. I rode shotgun with my cousin and a friend of his, and the conversations ranged from politics to religion. We also talked about relationships and marriage. In fact, we talked about everything  men talk about when they are locked in a car for 10 hours. Right? The men I talked to in that car had a positive attitude towards life and the women they loved (including their mothers). They viewed the world with an opened mind and did not accept just one explanation. They gave their own theories about the plight of man with supported evidence. I listened and also gave my view on things. It was both refreshing and thought provoking. It is a rare occasion that I get to engage in such discourse. It's great mental stimulation -- cerebral aerobics. It is great practice and it forces me to take a stand on something.
Anyway, besides that I ate, drank and laughed my way through a beautiful weekend in the mild and sunny city of Chicago.
Well, it's back to work and my daily routine. The great thing is that I enjoyed that world too. In keeping the spirit of my excursion, I'd like to make a toast: here's to great conversation, tolerance, and good friends! (esp. my dear friend on the South Shore. God bless you). Peace~
