His Story

I woke up. Dazed and confused. I think what the hell is going on. Why am I laying on the bathroom floor? Just a second later I get a whiff of this disgusting smell. I was lying in throw up! How the hell did this happen. I jumped up and immediately grabbed the towel that was laying on the bathroom sink. I began to try and remember how I ended up this way, but my mind was playing tricks on me. The last thing I recalled was getting up and going to work that day. After that everything else was fuzzy. Why couldn't I remember? Me the stable, smart, intelligent, kid less, young black man had no idea how the hell I had ended up this way...

I walked out the bathroom and straight into my bedroom. My suitcase was lying on the bed open, as if I was about to go somewhere. I couldn't recall where I was on my way to. It just didn't make sense. I have a job and not just any job. I work for one of the most prestigious firms in the country. Suddenly it hit me, yesterday was supposed to be a big day for me. I was going to show the firm that I was a big asset to them. I can't even remember what happened though. What the hell is wrong with me!

After examining my bedroom further to see if anything else was out of place, i moved on to the living room. My new furniture was destroyed. My glass tables were shattered. This is the first time that I thought I could have been robbed. Wait that couldn't be the case. That's when I glanced over and noticed an opened empty bottle of grey goose. I went over to the counter and picked up the bottle. Why can't I remember whet the hell happened to me yesterday. Then there was a knock at the door. Who the hell could it be. Maybe they would have some answers for me.

I was nervous thinking about who it could be at my door. They knocked again and it startled me. I went over to check out the peep hole to see who it was. I was relieved that it was my best friend. I eagerly opened the door and the look on his face said it all. I told im to come on in. He stated, "Last I saw you you were in bad shape, and I figured I needed to see if you are alright." I replied, "Well I woke up in throw up and can't remember anything from yesterday." He smirked and said, "You mean you don't remember anything from yesterday?" I shook my head no. "Well you f@#ked up big time! You have a lot of explaining to do! Now we need to talk about yesterdays events." he explained.

Brothers how many of us have them?

As most of you know, I only have one biological sibiling. It’s my twin sister. As a kid, I always wondered what it would be like to have a brother. Whether he was my big or little brother I always thought it would be cool. I imagined my big brother would be like Theo Huxtable and my little brother would be like little Richie from Family Matters. I know I was definitely living in a fantasy land but hey what’s a kid to do.


Before entering college I had no desire to join a fraternity. I figured I didn’t need anyone being my “brother”. I had made it already 18 plus years on my own. My fantasy of having Theo or Little Richie as my brother had all but faded. I never would have guessed that I would end my college career with many more brothers than I began with.




Those brothers that I am referring to are my frat brothers, but I’m not referring to them as a whole. I have thousands of frat brothers across the world. The brothers that I am referring to are my line brothers. My line brothers (LBs) will forever be the brothers that I dreamt of as a child. No we aren’t biologically related, but we share a bond that only the eleven of us understand. We fight like brothers. We party like brothers. Most importantly, I love those guys as if they were my biological brothers. We have had our shares of disagreements, but at the end of the day I know they will forever have my back.


So this goes out to my line brothers. I want you all to know that I appreciate you all and you are the brothers that I always dreamt of. Thanks for all the wonderful memories.

Thanksgiving, Hot Topics, and Vacation

Well my favorite holiday of the year is less than two weeks away. I love Thanksgiving. It's a great time of seeing family and some good cooking. I came to appreciate Thanksgiving when I was in college. All four years of undergrad I stayed on campus since I lived eight hours away and it would have just been too much to go home and come right back. I am not saying that my Thanksgiving were bad, but I really did miss my family. I would call home and they would all be gathered at one of my grandma's house. I felt left out. That's why I don't plan on missing anymore of them no matter where I am. I will make that journey home. Now I only live an hour and a half from my hometown so that's good. I am going to head home next Tuesday. It will be great seeing family and friends. Oh how I love Thanksgiving!!!!

This year I have been thinking about my life and where it is. I am very happy with how things have turned out for me. I have met some great people in the accounting profession within the last year and its been a blessing in disguise. I am very thankful for them.

So I am sure everyone heard about Oprah's school having some trouble. I have heard so many people say that Oprah is getting what she deserves! WHAT!?!? WHY WOULD ANYONE SAY THIS. OPRAH TOOK HER MONEY AND IS TRYING TO DO SOMETHING GOOD FOR YOUNG GIRLS IN AFRICA AND PEOPLE THINK ITS GOOD THAT SOMEONE IN THE ACADEMY IS ABUSING THE CHILDREN?!?! WTF! LISTEN PEOPLE. OPRAH HAS DONE A LOT AND WHY PEOPLE CONTINUE TO HATE ON HER AMAZES ME. OPRAH KEEP YOUR HEAD AND YOU WILL SURVIVE. I WISH YOU NOTHING BUT THE BEST.

I am so ready for the primaries to begin for president. I am ready to send George W back to Texas. Once I am done with this CPA exam I plan on getting myself heavily involved in politics. I am going to start watching CNN, MSNBC, and Fox (yeah I know) News and their political shows. I love politics and have kinda withdrawn from them since the 2004 election, but I am ready to get back into the swing of things.

Speaking of politics I am currently reading Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas' memoir My Grandfather's Son and I have to say it is a very interesting book! I am learning a lot about Justice Thomas that I had no idea. I am at the point in the book where he has just graduated from law school. As most of you know, Thomas is black and a very conservative judge. Blacks that know him think he is a sell out and many liberals hate him. As someone who considers myself liberal I thought it would be interesting to read about Thomas' life. Even though I don't agree with some of his philosophies I am starting to understand his thoughts. I will let you guys know how it turns out.

Well I am still studying for this CPA exam. I take my next part at the end of the month and I am about drained. It takes a lot out of you. So much information and I just feel like I will never learn it all. If I keep up with my schedule I should be done by February 2008. Let's keep our fingers crossed that I pass all the parts on the first try. I really do need a vacation. I can't wait until the Christmas vacation because I will get to go home and then I am going to Vegas for New Years!!!!!!!!! Oh yeah it's going to be the bomb! i can't wait. I think I have less than 50 days!!!

Well that's all for now. I am America's Nightmare...
