Have you ever had those times in life where you feel like you are on the brink of something good in life, but you can't see pass the curtains? That's how I feel right now. I trully feel that it is a test from God. I think that He wants to know just how faithful I am going to be to His word. Things in life aren't too bad these days so I can't complain. Just got paid (*note to self...pay tithes*). Leaving to go to North Carolina tomorrow, so I don't have to worry about gas for three days. Just got invited to a Braves Game on Friday (in which I am still debating if I want to spend that much money to go, I hope its the nose bleed section), leaving back out on Tuesday to fly to St. Louis for a week (more gas money saved...lol). I think that most exciting thing about going to St. Louis for me is....taking pictures..haha. I know that sounds strange, but I didn't get to do a whole lot of traveling when I was younger, so these minut experiences hopefully will be meaningful. *Subject Change* The other day a friend of mine posted a comment/book on a groups that we have. His comment dealt with the lack of ability to find quality women in the Atlanta Area. I haven't replied to his post just yet, but I totally agree with it. I mean in a day and age when there is so much stuff going on about men (whether women are calling us dogs or saying that every guy is on the "DL" (which I still don't get that one)), why is it so difficult for a good man (like myself) to find a woman. But not just any woman, I mean a woman with the tools, spiritually, mentally, emotionaly, and physically to be ones Wife (yeah, real men can use the W word.). It just seems like these days many women are so caught up in the "night life" that they neglect to discover the morning after, when that man is still by your side through it all. I'd relate it to a one-night-stand if you asked me. Girl meets guy (or vice versa) at the club (night time), and has the crunkest time ever. Then either one of two things occur. 1 - Guy falls for the woman, but the woman is not "at the level" for a relationship or 2 - Woman falls for guy, but Guy is just in for a good time. Forget that.....I'mma stop meeting women at night (new non-negotiable,lol). Anywho....I'm still in awe trying to figure out where do the 'real women' hang out.....I need to be up in there, lol, nah just kidding, I know I know, God has the perfect woman for me. (Not the perfect woman keep in mind, but the perfect woman for ME!) Anywho, this morning was good. Got outta bed feeling somewhat rejuvinated, considering I went to be at almost 1:00am (Was up last night talking to someone who seemed as driven as I am, hope we talk again tonight..lol). I had lunch with VLG, which was cool. We went to this "cafeteria (I still don't know the official name of it)" off of Mitchell Street (all soul food, man that was good, lol). Welllllll, Im ready to get outta here (work) though. It just seems like I have so much to do. Talk to you later.
