Staying up late.........not the way I used to

It's been a while since I wrote on this, mostly because of the writers block but probably because I have been so busy. I'm writing this on the couch next to my five month old son and it's almost midnight. Those who have been parents before me know this all familiar sight of a child who won't sleep and demands all the attention from you who needs to sleep.
I just came from a 13 hour work day and the little one has only sporadically slept during the day, much to his mother's chagrin. I have another long day tomorrow but I just can't sleep to the sounds of him crying the going quiet then starting up again. His mother has tried everything, little guy doesn't want to give up. I decided to take up the challenge. Walked him around the apartment, to the balcony and back to the living and he is quiet now. His eyes darting left and right, I decide that maybe an episode of the good wife would be nice. He quickly reminded me that I'm the only who enjoys it and not him. Back to the walking around and around which he immediately responds to. What does a guy do, YouTube off course. I just type in hypnotize and baby and a whole lot of videos pop up. This two hour long one is the one I choose and I immidiately see why it has 54 million views. He quickly just stares at it, we are 15 minutes in and he is quiet and staring at the screen. I don't know if this is good for him but sleep deprivation can make any parent get desperate.
He hasnt made a sound and we are 20 minutes in, he is out. Hooray mission accomplished. Now daddy can get some sleep. This isn't staying up like I used to.

She killed him.........................

A man’s primary purpose in life is to provide, both for the present and the future. Often, nothing he possesses naturally is seen as inherently valuable. For a woman, however, the opposite is true, as she is born with much of what is deemed valuable for the species. It's a rather bleak topic to discuss, yet it reflects a truth we have come to understand. Recently, I buried a great man who did everything right, though it wasn’t enough to earn him the long life he so deserved. Born and raised in poverty, he was on his way to becoming the best in his field, until he met someone he couldn't resist. As a child, he encountered a beautiful girl whom he believed could walk on water. Their young love blossomed in the dusty, rural farmlands of western Kenya, only for life’s circumstances to separate them for nearly two decades. During their time apart, he built a foundation that his peers from the village could only dream of. From barefoot maize harvests in the village to excelling at a ...

Someone needs to shoot the DEEJAY....

Expensive drinks and high cover charges, that's the price I pay for a hassle free night in a club with great ambience. A great night to me is rated against some distinct markers. Company, choice of beverage and location. Company ,if it's not your usual crew, has to be put together systematically to ensure you don't end up with troublemakers but with more fun loving and well behaved people. The choice of beverage is just dictated by location and company. House parties should have more hard liquor than beers while the club scene requires more portability with regards to cans and bottles for the more agile of this generation. The last and usually most important, location location location. What goes into a location; distance, cost, ratio of the sexes, neighborhood and the music. If you are already used to certain clubs then the only variable present is the sexes and music. Unless you are bringing your own company then the ratio doesn't bother you much b...

Cold heart cash...

Money power respect, that's what we need in life. Sounds like the chorus for a song done by the lox over ten years ago right. Well it is and it does ring true everyday. Let's have a social experiment, look at where you are sitting right now reading this. I'm sitting at a coffee shop draining the free WiFi and spending the lowest amount I can on a drink. You could be sitting in a bus reading this on your way home or lounging in your living room.Anywhere we are ,we either have or wish we had the trifecta that is "MONEY POWER RESPECT". I cant teach you how to get any of the things above but i can try to look at the negative effects of the most sort out one of the three. Cold heart cash. When I look around this coffee shop today, i see a couple of people tired from work and in no hurry to get home. I see some people who just might have more money than sense and have just come here as a stop over to the next place as their party night starts up. We all ...
