Getting there




        I’ve been taking things day to day. Because I’m becoming to notice that plans and planning don’t too much for me. I won’t say “don’t work’ but, they don’t work out how I plan them. So I’ll still plan things and just hope that they work out in my favor. My little son is almost ready to some out. He’s moving around like a mad man in a straight jacket. I always say it’s so cool but I don’t think she feels the same way. I can tell she’s ready to get this pregnancy over with. All the back rubs, feet rubs, and belly rubs can’t change that either. The other night she woke me up talking about she had heartburn and it was so bad that she started to have a hard time breathing. So my panicky self gets all ready to take her to the E.R. The funny thing is, I ran to get ready to go and I’m fresh, ready to go but I went and got her some too small pants to go out in. I gave her some pepto tablets and she was good. I’m happy she didn’t go though, because I didn’t want to see NO parts of that E.R. copay.
   I am really anxious about the baby still. Not a bad type of anxious, but the good kind of anxious. Like anticipation of your 1st dance with a pretty woman. Or the anticipation of a good friend coming to see you.  I wonder how he’s gonna look. I hope he looks like me in the face but I hope he don’t get my hair line. She and I were at the mall earlier and sat next to a lady whose son came out 3 months early. He was now 2 years old. I felt for her. She was really open about her situation and positive. She had a little book she showed us with pictures of him in the hospital. I didn’t get her name but I could tell she was a really strong woman after going through having a kid early. I’m not sure why I actually told you that, but bear with me. Like I said, I’m still really excited and just as much anxious.

   Earlier this week, I had to go get registration for the car and outside the State building, I saw these 2 White guys sitting at what looked like a racist lemonade stand, pushing pamphlets talking about how bad and “hitler like” president Obama is. They even had pictures  of him with a Hitler mustache and crossed eyes. It kind of made me mad but at the same time I had to laugh at them both because they were probably just some volunteers that weren’t getting paid to sit out in that 115 degree heat. I did ask them if they were with a white supremacist group. And I also mentioned that they couldn’t do that anywhere in the city of Detroit and not expect a riot to break out. Living in the south, I’ve noticed how very much different white folks act than they do back home. Here its “power in numbers”. Up there, its, “let me sit my white ass down before these niggas rob me.

   On another note, that Jay-Z and Kanye LP dropped today. I thought it was going to be some of the best music to come out in the last 5 years. And it let me down. There is absolutely NOTHING in hip-hop right now that even remotely sounds good. I hoped they could have changed that. Maybe if i would've spent my 10$ on like regular people then i would appreciate it a bit more......Naaaa....Its a really rushed album. But, im still gonna play it. Maybe it'll grow on me.

 
That’s all for now. Have a good weekend and have some fun for your boy.
