I want to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving beforehand. I pray each and every one of you have a safe holiday. Yea Im cooking again and will be going on instagram to find some delicious recipe for this holiday. I thought I wasn’t going to have to cook this year. Then I was sent via text, request for what everyone want me to cook. Lol. I HATE COOKING……. For real though. Lol.
I have to be very careful what I post. I’m in the process of hiring some people to do work for me, and when I asked each person do they need to know anything about me before taking the job, I was told by each one of them they already know. I so wanted to ask how, but I left it along. Imma be real. When Im at home, I be looking real crazy, and despite the fact I be looking bumish, there are people who are good with faces. No joke. San Diego is a big place, well, not bigger than facebook. But they be seeing everything. I don’t, that’s my problem.
Im off today, plus Starbucks is on strike, where I can't go and get a medicine ball and talk to everybody I see. soooooo I figure I will share my experience “wit ya’ll” today. It’s been a helified week. You know sometimes you cannot judge a book by its cover. I was telling Linda Spencer about my neighbors. At first, I thought they were racist, because when they see you coming, they act like they don’t see you and don’t speak. My neighbors have a son, who is in his early 20. when he walks by, he doesn’t speak either. I speak, and of course he responds. I will sometimes even help the father look for their cat. The cat always wants to come in my house. I have to block it. I say to myself, we all have asthma up in this mug. That’s all we need for it to come in the house, and don’t want to leave. Lol. Ok for a while the police will show up at their house, talk to everyone, then I see the son leave and the parents immediately throws out his things. Ok weeks later the son shows up with his head shaved balled, wearing kakis, sagging, looking like in my opinion a white supremacist. One day while getting in my car, I feel somebody staring at me. I look up and it’s the son, he sees me look in his direction and he duck back. Im like what the hell. I tell my kids and they are say ma, DO NOT TALK TO DUDE! We know you, you talk to everybody. So I say, no everybody talks to me.
Ok one day I was at home, chilling and see the police over to the house again. I causally look out the window and soon as I look to be noisy, he stares directly in my face. He Would not stop staring. So I left the window, went on about my business. It’s funny because when he sees me getting in my car he would make a detour. Ok here’s the interesting part. One day I go to get in my car, and I hear someone call me by family name. So I turn around. I say yes. He say can I speak to you for a minute. I said of course. In the back of my head, I said how does he know my name. They don’t even talk to me. He told me he wanted to apologies for what I saw. I wanted to tell him I SAW NOTHING, SAW NOTHING!!!!!!, you know like the guy on Hogans Hero’s. He said I know you are in the legal field, and when he told me that, I kinda tilted my head to the side and before I could ask him how he knew, he said our other neighbor Michael told him. See how people talk. Lol. Anyway, this young man told me some stores about his parents, his life and everything he has gone through. I just wanted to cry. But I didn’t. I just kept listening. He showed me the scares, and all I could do is put my hand over my mouth. He asked me if I could help him, and I told him I will call some friends of mine in that field and they will be more then happy to help him. And I did. Now the irony of this story is we really can't judge a person by its cover. Now I know why the parents would act funny and not speak. It's because they were embarrassed. They probably thought I knew everything that was going on in that house. I would hear the way he talked to his parents and be like, I wonder what they did to him to make him so angry at them. Now I know. I learn from my white roommates in college of how their parents really are behind closed doors and in public it’s a whole other story. Just saying. Now the parents want to speak, talk, grin, compliment me on my plants, and everything else. However, I do still have my guards up. Don’t trip. Young man is very nice ice and respectful. He just have some issues that he has to sort through. He got as job now, and I hardly ever see him. and can you imagine if I had reacted to them as they did to me initially, how the situation should had turned out. That’s why I pray and keep it moving. The day I purchased my E-Bikes, I saw him coming home and called him over to my house to show off my e-bikes, for the reason he was one who gave me the idea to get one. Bout to get another one. HAHAHAH. Im bout to get buy another one. I fell off one them while riding around UCSD. Man when I looked up saw these two good looking young fellas helping me up. Lol….One pulled the bike off me and the other one helped me up. Lol. told y’all I got issues. Called my granddaughter up north and told her what had happen and told her I wish I was ya’ll age again, I be all over those young fellas….flirting. She thought that was so funny. I was serious, No really, I got to get myself in shape….again. Can’t walk, back tore up. Slip disc here, slip disc there. Gotta do something. Right.
Ok Im done with my dissertation for today. I think Im Bout to go riding before the traffic gets bad. Next dissertation Im gonna give is my process in moving on to my next adventure in life. I learned to stay prayed up Before leaving my house. The people I meet. Be some crazy stuff. Oh My Goodness. Met some people this week. Quickly, One person I interviewed on the phone for a job I posted, he wanted to meet in person with some bull…..ish. Told me he wanted to meet with just me.
Scratch his name of my list real quick. Asked me to friend him on LinkedIn where I saw two different names. He gave me his whole background in the first ten minutes. Synopsis….from New York, recovering addict, hustler, need I say more. You know what they say, find a fool bump his head!!!!! Im like, Damn kind I just do this!!!!!
Be well All, and please be safe.
