JT pointed out my first grey hair to me today. It’s all nice and silvery. Am I mad, sad, depressed? Nope. It doesn’t bother me.

It’s a part of life and it was bound to happen, right? I still feel like the same twenty-four-and-a-half-year-old. I’m just thankful

it’s not a long streak like Rogue’s (from X-Men).

I should call my mom and celebrate with her. “I AM WOMAN (WITH A GREY HAIR), HEAR ME ROAR.”

I need my very own holodeck, yes I’m talking about the holodeck you’ve seen on Star Trek The Next Generation. Sometimes I feel like I need to escape from reality if only for a few minutes. I wouldn’t necessarily be interacting with other people on my holodeck. Most of my scenarios would involve beaches, sunsets, waterfalls, mountains and such. Sometimes, I just want to get away. Get away from what? All the troubles in the world; but primarily myself. My mind is constantly thinking about a hundred and one things at once.

Feels like a sewing machine going out of control. Sometimes I want to get away from myself, escape from this reality.

Since I don’t have a holodeck, let me go listen to some smooth jazz or r&b while I escape from this reality.

What a extremely long day. My job is mentally stressing me bad. All day long it’s been extremely hot outside. I work right around the corner and by the time I walked home from work (only a five minute walk) the heat had consumed me. My stomach immediately started aching. I washed dishes, talked with JT, cleaned Tigger’s litterbox and then fell out on my bed. I slept for about two and a half hours then realized I missed dinner. It’s a quarter to midnight now, and I’m still not all that hungry.

One hundred degree weather can really mess shit up for me. Thankfully, it’s cool in the house though.

On the bright side of things, The Rock won the Undisputed title last night at WWE Vengeance (his seventh time winning the Championship Belt). I’m looking forward to him fighting Brock Lesnar next month at SummerSlam.

JT, Anthony and I are going to Hooters to see the WWE PPV (Vengeance) tonight. Last month, was the first time I went to Hooters when we saw King of the Ring.

We had quesadillas and fried chicken. Anthony and JT were not impressed by the wings; meanwhile I tore them suckas up. I love chicken, that’s all to that. Tonight, I don’t know what they gonna eat, but I know what I’m gonna chow down on while I watch me some WWE, chicken.

The “Welcome to Atlanta (Remix)” video featuring Jermaine Dupri, Puff Daddy (err P. Diddy), St. Lunatics and Snoop, is my favorite video out right now. The song was already my jam; the beat is tight, I be bouncin all over the place. Then the video came out and I got really excited when they showed the Lunatics in Busch Stadium. My only beef with the video: Why is it that every city (Atlanta, New York and Long Beach) except for Saint Louis had a humongous posse representin them?

All we (STL) had (in addition to the Lunatics) were Fernando Vina, Toya and a few other extras. Oh well, all in all I enjoyed the video and everytime they get to the Saint Louis part, I still go crazy.

Ebay never amazes me with what they allow to be auctioned.

24 small Japanese children for sale.. oh my this is better than the box of 21 broken Nokia phones!

Don’t get all worked up, it’s not for real.

Sick humor, I know.

I attempted to watch The Musketeer last night. While I was eating dinner (a chicken bowl–which was quite tasty btw–from Taco Hell), no problem staying awake then.

Afterwards, it was downhill from there. The movie is full of action, but the plot is extremely dull. I think I made it through about an hour of it, started dozing off, fell asleep, then JT turned it off. How many Musketeer movies can they make? If you like European History, may I suggest the following movies: 1) La Reine Margot, a French movie with English subtitles about the reign of Queen Margot during the St. Bartholomew Day’s Massacre in 1572. Full of violence and sex! and 2) Elizabeth, a dramatic film about the early reign of Queen Elizabeth I in England.

I was first introduced to La Reine Margot by my AP European History teacher, Mr. Harig, in my senior year of high school. As we studied the struggles between the Catholics and the Protestants, we watched clips of the movie to add a visual effect of the horrific events. I was hooked on the movie ever since. The movie is not easy to buy; my dad eventually helped me hunt it down at Blockbuster. La Reine Margot and Elizabeth are two great movies to add to your collection if you appreciate a fine adaptation of history.

It’s raining outside. I hate gloomy, rainy days. It looks like the sun is trying to shine through the dark clouds. I go to work in about an hour and a half. I much rather lay down and continue a dream I had this morning. I can’t remember the dream because I was rudely awakened by a phone call at 8:30am. The Caller ID said ‘Privacy Manager.’ I love that feature on my phone line, but I was still pissed because the ring woke me up.

The dream, well all that I do remember is that it was interesting; JT and people I work with were in it. I think we were in school or something… everything else draws a blank. I need a machine that could record my dreams; somebody invent that. I wanna see all that freaky stuff I dream about but can’t quite remember. And then, of course, I would delete it because I don’t want to be held liable for the crazyness in my mind.

JT and I didn’t quite make it to Troy’s the other night…

I’m trying to build up some courage so I can read one of my poems there.

I’m sitting here watching Soaps ( One Life to Live is on now) and updating my site; a regular routine for my days off. I had this major headache on the way, so I put my magnetic headband on about twenty minutes ago. Headache is slowly… going… away.

I have this evening with JT to look forward to at Troy’s On the Park.

I’m also chatting with friends on AIM. I IMed a couple of friends asking them to rate my blog.

So I IMed Vad…

I2ayne (1:13:29 PM): whats a “blog”?
neXylicious (1:13:39 PM): a Journal :-P
I2ayne (1:13:48 PM): gm
I2ayne (1:14:03 PM): this isn’t really a journal, it’s more of a like, news kinda site.
I2ayne (1:14:32 PM): it’s a good way to waste 10 mins of your time :-).

My site is not just a journal, it’s a plethora of information; my life, shit happening around me, news, opinions, etc. To me that’s

what a blog is all about. One day, I want missnexus.com to become a community but I’m fine with how it is right now.

The entire conversation….

I2ayne (1:15:31 PM): btw, you know the “up-arrow” link button? I hate that shit. :/
I2ayne (1:15:35 PM): ic

Scientists discover that semen makes women feel good. Duh?

“At the University of New York, scientists and researchers studied the moods of 300 women. They concluded that women who had sex without condoms were less stressed than women who had sex with condoms and women who were not sexually active at all. The scientists also emphasized that their results should not be an excuse to have unprotected sex.”

Hmm, so either continue to have unprotected sex or be depressed?

But, ohh wait, the scientists suspect semen will have the same effect on women regardless of how they are exposed to it.
