mixtape about nothing>>>>the carter 3...

in my humble opinion.

dear world...

What do you do when your best friend is also your ex girlfriend you are trying to get over??

get busy...

The school year is winding down and I have been really busy, so I haven't had much time to blog. So here's a brief update on my NYC trip...

• Erykah Badu's live show is the shit. She's pretty funny too.
• The pizza in Times Square was incredible
• L.E.S is loaded with white people that all look alike and ride really old bikes.
• 6 hour bus ride to NYC!! sucked!
  
• I missed The Roots performance because of that six hour bus ride.
• Met Mos Def at the after party.
• My camera got wet and now the damn buttons don't work!
  
• I got to see my crush --- the lovely miss Vashtie
• Ran into an old friend from high school...really random
• Met a bartender in Harlem that was from my hometown, Charleston SC...it's a really small world

Overall the trip was a lot of fun. I'm still pissed that I missed The Roots performance!

the city is mine.

When: May 9th, 2008
Where: Radio City Music Hall, NYC
What: Erykah Badu ft. The Roots

Are you ready NYC?

the hardest part.

It's been a few months now since the ex and I agreed to break up amicably. We remain friends but as evident from my last post, things have become very difficult between us lately. We just seem to be moving in two opposite directions. I'm here, she's there. We've both invested six long years of our lives to this relationship but never before have we seemed so far apart. We agreed that this break up would only be temporary due to our long distance status but as of late it appears that this may actually be the END.
To be honest, I really don't know how I feel about this. The safe, prudent side of me wants to do whatever it takes to reconcile the situation but the selfish side of me wants to venture off into another world and explore the newness of a fresh relationship. Speaking of the selfish side of me, I've come to realize that the hardest part of this breakup is recognizing the fact that the female I have spent the last six years of my life with can actually be attracted to and interested in another guy.
How can this be?? I thought she "only had eyes for me", naive right?! I want my cake and eat it too. I want to enjoy the single life but I don't want her to. I want to gallivant( <--- yes I actually used that word) around DC , free of any type of commitment but I want her to stay at home and wait for me to call her at 2 a.m. Needless to say, I'm not getting what I want.
