Timing in relationships is not my strong point. I mean, how soon is “too soon”? How long are you waiting before it’s “too long”? Usually, I try to go with my emotions in these cases, but that’s gotten me in trouble. Just ask my ex-boyfriends. In my experience, it takes three things to make a relationship work: communication, time, and maintenance. It’s amazing just how much of a variable time is when it comes to cultivating a relationship. Communication is a given. You have to talk to your mate and they have to talk to you. There’s got to be some sort of way to know how the other feels. And when things are going wrong, that’s what the maintenance is. You make things better. You apologize. You learn. You continue on with the relationship (if you’re lucky). But time…just how long is all this supposed to take? Is there some sort of magic formula for this?

So while I am enjoying the somewhat slow march towards 30, there are certain things which I am certainly not anticipating. Body failure is one of them. While I’m certainly not the skinniest bitch in the pack, I’m as healthy as a horse. Well, a big ass horse, but you get my drift. I rarely get sick, my vision and hearing are top-notch, and I’ve got great hair and skin. And while I’ve got a history of chiropractic run-ins (corrective shoes, surgery, etc.), the last thing I expected to happen was some funny business with my bones. Specifically, my back.  Last week, I was downtown to pick up a check from a client. I was coming out of the MARTA station headed towards my client’s business when my back suddenly seized up like a rusty gear. My right thigh got really tight, and I seriously had to stop a few times before I could complete the three block walk to get the check. It took the power of Jesus, Buddha, and Greyskull for me to make it back on the train and to Casa de Karsh. I mean, this shit came out of the blue, folks. I’m always walking long distances. Hell, I was in marching band in high school and college. Ambling about on two legs is no problem, and I’ve never had any sort of back problems whatsoever. My father Sperm Donor does have a really bad back, but he was a Navy man for 17 years, worked as a welder…I mean, he wrecked his back. Is this what’s happening to me?

It’s 3:00am and I’m jacked up on Mountain Dew (hey, I had to finish some client work). Let’s do this thang!

Yes, it’s February and it’s been damn near a month since my last post. I was planning on writing out some long post about what has had me so busy this past month, but then I realized something…I don’t have to explain shit. It’s my blog! Take that, Text Link Ads and your paltry $2.00 ad payment. But I am going to get back in the swing of regular posting, I promise. I need to prioritize some things, and I might have a big announcement coming. I just wanted to let y’all know I am alive, things are going well, and I need to jet to a meeting in like 10 minutes. See…busy! P.S.: Let’s just not mention that whole “31 Days of Design”. I’ll try for that again another month when I’m not so crazy busy. Filed under: Miscellaneous Comments: None |

OK, so technically, this one was late too. I was too busy on the phone chatting it up with boys to get this going. My bad. (That reminds me, I have a quasi-review of Compatible Partners coming up soon. No, it’s not the new Pedro Almodóvar movie.) I seem to be on a bit of a wallpaper kick, so this one kinda came out of nowhere once I got into Photoshop. I was going for this hippie, retro, 60’s kinda feel with the cutouts and such. I think I need some better design inspiration than two Moscow Mules and not-so-scintillating conversation. Tch…boys. Download and enjoy. Filed under: Graphic Design Comments: 1 Comment |

Now Black folks tend to get a sometimes unfair rap when it comes to tipping. Valet gives a nice little guide on the how-tos of tipping in restaurants and for other services. Valet. > The Handbook > 31 Days – Day 2: Tip Well – How Much to Tip. You don’t have to tip if there’s a delivery charge? I’m gonna start using that little tip today.

I know, I know…I’m already starting late out of the gate. But to my credit, I actually did design this yesterday, but didn’t get around posting it until today. It’s 2010, and I’m as happy as a pig in shit about it. Big things are a-coming. So I decided to kick the 31 Days of Design off with a widescreen wallpaper dedicated to 2010. (That’s twenty ten for those of you who were wondering about how to say this year without saying a whole sentence.) Download and enjoy. Filed under: Graphic Design Comments: 2 Comments |

Ta-da! My first post of 2010! …umm, I got nothing else. I spent most of the morning archiving e-mail, drinking ginger beer, and watching a Looney Tunes marathon on Cartoon Network. It’s not exactly what the old Masters would have done on the first day of a new year, but hey, this is the future. After getting spurred into action by Brandon and J., now I’m here at Inman Perk Coffee listening to Ghostly Swim and trying to get the ball rolling on a few new things. Like this website, for starters. I’m tired of looking at this safety orange background. I’m tired of the boxy sections. I mean, this theme is done in tables for Christ’s sake (go ahead and look at the source, I won’t mind). No slight to the theme author, of course, but it’s time for me to change this shit up. I’ve got a folder of themes to dig through, and one of them will be the new BGB theme. Then again, I have some other properties that need a similar theme facelift. There’s always something, it seems. Also, just so I can show these bitches *high kick* I still got it, I’m bringing back the 31 Days of Design I started back in 2006. I’ve seen a few design blogs do something similar with WordPress themes and such, so I thought I’d give it another go. I might as well do something to get me back on the design track since I’ve slacked off so this past year. Other than that, I’m ready to take 2010 by the balls. Now if only I could pick a decent theme for this site…. Filed under: Miscellaneous Comments: None |
