This will be a revamped blog. I decided to start over. It probably won't be as personal as the first one.

One man's trash is another's treasure

But what is the first man hasn't really thrown away the item......

So I'm in the I-lab at school taking advantage of the free printing when someone hails me out.
Taj! How are you! So good to see you! You look so cute! (insert blush)

So we get to chatting she shows me her myspace page..asks for approval of a pic she put up that I was in. I looked bangin' so I acquiesced.

So we always see each other chat and leave...we never get around to hanging out and she would do a West Indian party once in a while but not all the time.
So I tell her I'm about to go home so she comes to hang out...

So we are chatting and I ask her about graduation. Oh did I mention we were on the same floor freshman year? but she had a FEW detours well but no matter... she is graduating now.
So she's a broadcasting major but she realizes now she wants to get into public relations instead of broadcasting. Did I mention this girl is cute, skinny but not bony, definitely has a butt and some tatas ( I learnt the "all you need is a mouthful" jingle from her freshman yr), a smooth chocolate complexion, some dimples, great smile and is oh so stylish,,,,and has a generally sweet disposition. Did I also mention in pics of us ppl always mistake her for me and vici versa...Even my mom did that once...it's serious ppl, but in person we don't look that alike.

So I ask her the dreaded question...what r u planning to do after...So she says she interviewed at a place in NY but with cost of living there and the pay she doesn't know about it...so I tell her ask them about how soon it may increase of just be sure about the offer, don't assume and she say yea..but sounds kinda half hearted.
So I'm like you don't seem like you wanna go
She's like ya it would be a great opportunity but I kinda wanna stay in this area.
So deductive Taj Watson asks...."Is he worth it? Do you think its gonna last?"
And she starts laughing and she gets this glow on her face and she holds back like she knows how annoyed ppl get when she gushes on and on about him so she doesn't want to be annoying so she holds back.
I say its okay.
So she starts talking about how great he is how they always hang out together and that after June she has to move anyway and they are thinking about moving in together.
She tells me he is even thinking about buying a condo thru NAKA (summin so) and she wants to do the same after her first year working.
He is great, like really great and they've been together for about a yr and a half.

Cool
So I ask his name

Champ

Lord who da fuck tell mih to axe dat


No reaction from me.....So where is he from? (I'm waiting to hear NY)

Well actually you know him....and you know his ex girlfriend she is your friend.....

She goes on quickly you know I had to get his history girl these guys around here etc etc...we joke about and move on the other convo's

^^^^^^^Hmph so I read the hesitation right earlier just for the wrong reason. Oh Ho Taj you need to fine tune your meter (duly noted)

Remember miss friend who met the new guy who is a dj and doesn't approve of black/white "douglarization" so to speak....Well it's her ex.

Interestingly enough in the year just after we graduated they broke up but I knew they were still fucking each other and because she only had "settling" options in the guy department so he was still her primary focus. I would call her on a Saturday afternoon and she would be at his apartment............
.......................................... from the night before.


Fast forward to them going out to dinner for her birthday this past December and her telling me and another friend (yea I know I ain't bout grammar right about now) that They are back together.
Huh?!?

Then by Carnival time thereabouts they were off again coincidentally about the same time she has a lil fling...Hmmm the not-quite-right-dick does wonders to keep your mind off "the right dick".
Hmmm I wonder if she knows he has a new girlfriend and just decided not to update us...
I wonder if she messed around with him not caring that he had a girlfriend....OR

I wonder if she told us they were back together so she wouldn't seem like a slut if we found out he had a gf (although thats unlikely,,,but then again how likely was it that he would be with 2 of my good friends) then she could say that he was trifling
OR....my head hurts well not really put I'm tired postulating

Bottom line, I'm not about to say anything one friend is happy and another is taking definite steps trying to move on. Interesting how one man's trash is another treasure the first gf (lol they got togther the 1st week of freshman orientation and it lasted 4, 4 1/2, 4 3/4 yrs depending on who you ask) has the complaint they don't hang together, he isn't super romantic and is more concerned with hanging with his boys ALL (majority of) THE TIME instead of her. However, now he is being a great boyfriend to someone else...same guy but different attitude. The girls are as different physically as they are personality wise, in culture and in nationality. Whoooow

I'm resisting the urge to pick up the phone and I'm gonna keep this one to myself. In going to tell the one person I possibly could tell about this I'm stopped in my tracks remembering that I've been on the receiving of many a conversation that starts with: "you have to promise never to tell anybody, never to discuss this with anybody, OK I am so serious..."
Me: O k OK
Then the verbal diarrhoa begins

Ummm I'm not gonna bash her maybe she realizes that I'm trustworthy or maybe she just can't keep a secret whichever way it goes I backspaced the last 4 digits of her number from my phone's dial mode (yeah my phone is tight like that last fo digits of ya ## baybeee) and came on here and told you the whole deal.
Now I'm telling you to Shaddup about it OK
you're a friend of mine not a friend of ours. Capice?



****************************Putting Lord and Fcuk in the same sentence just isn't right...sorry Lord
