versatile award...

thank you, thank you to da boss bitch for this award & tagging me and giving me the..

Versatile Blogger Award which means I must then list 7 random facts about myself and tag some of my favorite bloggers.

i tag all you lovely people. some of you have already been tagged, the one's who have not..consider yourself tagged. and just do it.

so onto 7 random facts about me...

#7: i'm an avid hat wearer. i always have on a cap.

#6: i wear glasses, but not as much since i've had problems with my eyes. i do need them, just wearing them all the time is uncomfortable. i also don't wear contacts cause they don't fit in my eyes right..

#5: i'm an unforgiving winner & big shit talker. . . i wanna win everything i play. and i'll be pissed off if you're on my team & you make me lose. spades, sports, whatever..if you're the reason..i'ma be pissed. i can't even fake it. i want to win. i set out to win. i'm a trash talker who will talk shit from the door. i'll put the card on my forehead. i'll turn all my cards over and tell you pick which one i play next. i'll spot you 20 points in basketball playing to 21.

#4: i love gumballs, but i can't chew them due to TMJ  (temporomandibular joint disorder), which basically means it hurts when i chew repetitively over and over again. so food = yes. gum = no.


#3: i'm allergic to metal/stainless steel. so i've can only wear REAL jewelry. if you give me jewelery that is plated it will break me out instantly. that goes for backs of earrings. that goes for watches..i used to try to paint the back with nail polish of fossil watches. about 2 days later my skin would be peeling, red and have small hive like bumps on it. yes, it was that serious.  even belt fasteners. for the longest i could only wear belts fastener was covered by a material. i have to make sure there is fabric in between my belts and my skin. or i'll pull back my shirt and my stomach will break out. it sounds simple, but trust..it's a pain in the ass.


#2: i witnessed a murder....my ex murdered my fish...we we're moving...and we were transferring the fish from the old tank. but there was no new tank set up. and the fish was sick. he had spots on him and everything, but he was a trooper. she told me it had died. but i saw him moving a little. she put him in the toilet and flushed it. he swimmed back up. he was fighting the murder...then she flushed again. and that was it. i kept going back trying to see if i'd come back. sometimes, when i was in there for a long time, i thought i heard him. i'd look, but it wasn't anything alive in there..lol


#1: i'm a DIY'er. (do it yourselfer). if it has to be screwed, nailed, or hung i'm the man (in every sense of the word, lol). but for real. i love doing shit with my hands. i love fixing things. i love figuring out how to fix things. i'm so proud of the fixtures, chandeliers i've put up, the faucets, fans, floors, paint, etc... i'm obsessed with fix your home shows. don't be surprised if you see me on "man caves" or if i have my own show on the DIY network. don't be surprised. there's already this guy on there who's name sounds surprisingly like mine....people say it's a sign lol..

TMI blog award...

twice in the same day?..lol. aiight this one was courtesy of the.kisser kissthepen, this is the TMI blog award.

TMI blog award rules

*post the award on your blog

*list 8 things a voyeur / peeping tom could potentially catch you doing if

they were watching you (not restricted to a sexual manner..)

*award up to 8 bloggers who match the criteria this award

*make sure they know you enjoy peeping through their windows

as for the 8 bloggers i enjoying peeping at. i'd have to say everyone i comment to. i honestly read your blogs, honestly think about my responses. it's not just a generated.."that was great". i thank yall for sharing yall shit. cause that's all i'm trying to do myself. so i pass this award to all of yall. if i don't interact with you it's probably because you're not really trying to interact with me. not blogging for fame, name, or game. just blogging my thoughts, feelings, & issues. if you don't do the same, eh. . .

8 things a voyeur or peeping tom would catch me doing, if they were watching me:

1. being a dad. that's me the majority of the time. acting silly for my son. running around being the tickle monster.

2. being frustrated. i'm frustrated probably 40% of the day. various reasons. i always have a lot of shit on my mind. life, love, career..etc. if you we're watching me you'd see me thinking a lot.

3. being lazy. more than likely if someone was watching me they'd get bored as hell cause i'm a homebody. if i'm not working or doing something for someone else. i'm lounging around in my drawz watching tv. i make sure i have all the comforts at home so my venturing out the house will be limited.

4. working. the other side to me. that's really all i do all the time. even when i'm on twitter. even when i'm at home. even when i'm doing a million & one thing i'm always working. ppl who know me always complain that i never take time for myself to just enjoy time. i'm always thinking about work. always thinking about what needs to be done. i'm a work-a-holic, inherited that trait from my dad.

5. stroking & choking. no further explanation needed.

6. starting home projects around the house. ppl walk in my house & ask me who did this or who did that. again another trait inherited from my dad. i'm constantly doing something like putting in floors, changing fixtures..my long overdue project is building a bar. been trying to get around to it for a minute, just haven't had time. i'm an avid DIY & HGTV watcher.

7. dealing with a life changing illness that has totally changed my outlook on everything. never thought i'd have something folks ask you to donate to finding a cure for. i still don't like talking about even to friends or family.

8. clipping the fuck out of my big toe nail. i get hangnails like crazy. my big toe after i'm done is 95% big toe meat, 5% nail.

yay..i got another award..

it's times like this that make me love the internet. #twitterkill myself. lol

i got a couple of blog awards from my girl xxxx, check out her blog GOLDEN MIND, she just keeps on sharing the love.

and for that, i gotta share it right back. putting on my latex gloves as i type this.

this post is in response to her Kreative Blogger Award..

i'm supposed to say 7 things i love and pick 7 fellow bloggers to pass it to..

here go my 7 things i love (not in order, just as they come to mind):

1. music. it's in my blood & what drives me financially and emotionally. it's part of every aspect of my life. you literally can't be my friend if you don't love music. it won't last long, if you don't.

2. family. i'm a real family man. i love doing shit with them. love being around them. love spending time. my best friends have to be like family to even fit into my circle. serious.

3. logic puzzles/cards/games. i love scrabble, monopoly, sudoku anything that requires thought. and yes monopoly requires thought when you play for real. i will have someone leave the table crying, cause i'm just that serious.

4. having discussions. i love to sit and talk about shit for hours. to the point where a lot of people won't even get me started. i will sit and listen to your side of a conversation but i want you to give me the same courtesy.

5. cupcakes. dunno what is up with that. but i LOVE cupcakes. to the point where if i had a 24 pack..i'd just eat them shits back to back within a day or so. that's why it's not even cool for me to have them around.

6. speeding. fuck folks who think that driving the speed limit is cool. fuck folks who drive in the fast lane or the HOV lane when there isn't no traffic and they go 5 miles over the speed limit. fuck somebody who has waited 10 minutes to turn and then wants to jump out in front of me when they could wait 30 secs and have a clear space. i love to speed. cause i always have some place to be. if you don't like that shit..get on the bus or become a police officer and do some shit about it.

7. gadgets. any gadgets. anything techie. i will go out and buy shit i don't even want if it looks cool.


alright 7 folks i'll pass the award to and ask to do this shit. (really the 7 ppl that actually MIGHT do this shit..lol)

1. xxxx gonna reciprocate (that is not against the rules) Golden Mind
