Ain't nobody Humpin' Around but Max!

As I sit here watching my mother's dog, Max, humping a blanket I think back on what a fun, crazy and ever so weird weekend this was.

First off, I love my mother tremendously. She is an amazing woman who has a positive affect on everybody she comes in contact with. Do you know how many people this weekend alone said I love your mother and she is amazing! Just affirms everything for me. A PHENOMENAL WOMAN!

Saturday evening I hung out with some Sanderson Class of 83 classmates planning our reunion in June. It's amazing what beer and wine can do to loosen up lips...right Rhonda Hubbard?!   I can't wait until the actual reunion. Lookout Spartans...I have a few things to say...:)

Saturday night...one word Mess! Me, Vernon Wall, Jeff Strickland and even my best friend from college Kern Hairston went out. The man never goes out! He orders cranberry juice for God's sake! A blast. However, why is it that Vernon and I always end up in a bar with porn stars and strippers...WHY! Every city we manage to be in at the same time, we find these people.

Sunday was church and relative visits! I love my family. They make me laugh out loud! I am sure you have the same in your family...

And now Max is getting his groove on with a blanket. How sad is my life? I need a personal life and fast!

As I sit here watching Revenge the season finale...I think...why is Scandal only 1 hour on Thursday! DAMNIT! But Revenge is ending on a great note! Bring on Scandal!

Guess who's coming out...Everyday Heroes...Mother's Day...and NeNe!

So this week was all about Jason Collins from coming out to wearing #98 to being Oprah tonight.  I Wouldn't label him a hero but a gay black man who has a platform to do great things in the limelight.  There are tons of us in our communities doing just as fabulous things without the spotlight!

To my local heroes...The Armorettes a group raising $$$ for AIDS support services for nearly 35 years and over $2 million. Brett Hulst who does amazing work on a college campus to guide students to becoming productive citizens.  To my LeaderShape family who help develop student leaders to Lead with Integrity and to Disregard the Impossible.  Heroes come in all shapes and sizes!  A local hero and celebrity Mr. John Lewis MY congressman.  He always has led the charge for fighting discrimination and still is in the trenches at 73 years old.

This being mother's day week, I want to give a HUGE shout out to all the mothers and especially mine Martha T. Kearney.  I would not be nearly the person I am without her ever guiding hand.  She was and still is a teacher.  I have learned so much from her in 48+ years.  And I hope I can be half the "teacher" she is.  Thank u mom for all the love and support.  Thank you for teaching us love and self respect.  Treat people like you want to be treated and to accept and not to judge people.  I look forward to our great weekend coming up!

Now to pop culture.  I love NeNe Leakes!  Her One on One with Andy Cohen made me love her even more.  She is real and speaks the truth.  That's what I try to do everyday.  Sometimes the filter isn't completely there and just comes out...I like it when that happens most times.

4 days until Scandal....

One other thought...Jason Collins needs to date Tyler Perry.

The Week that was...kicked my ass!

This past week was crazy as hell! Sunday through Tuesday, I worked for Q&A Entertainment who was hired by Coco-Cola who provided logistical support for the MENA Bottling meetings.  MENA stands for Middle Eastern and North Africa Bottlers.  Can we say some hotness was everywhere!

This one Moroccan was after my tail.  He was like Tony you look like Van Diesel...really? Please....Then he starts on how much Denzel Washington is his favorite American actor.  Lord.  Tony, what do you do in Atlanta for fun?  Is that a loaded question?  During group sessions he kept waving at me!  I really did want to see a room in the St. Regis Hotel, but alas I am good boy...

The rest of the week was dedicated to Breathe Easy Fulton.  Trying to help Fulton County be smoke free is hard work.  Lord there are some crazy ass people in this city who think that blowing smoke in my face is their right.  Banning smoking would be against their civil rights...really?!  Please get some education!  It's going to pass...TRUST!

I also spent some time reading my 5 pound manual for LeaderShape.  I am the faculty co-lead for the George Mason University Session May 19 - 25.  DC here I come.  I have not done a session since 2002 so I am trying to relearn all that information.  Crazy, huh?

What have I missed? Oh 752, 752, 752!  Huck was off the chain on Scandal this week.  Olivia please take the president back...NOW!  I would sleep with the republican president if he looked like that!  Girl just do it!  We only have 3 more episodes left before a 3 month break.. Can't bear it.

Well, bed is calling me and tomorrow I get to have physical therapy on my right elbow.  Three years ago, it was the left elbow.  I am really slowly falling apart.

Smooches

I am tired of SECOND HAND SMOKE ...are you?

I have a contract job with Breathe Easy Fulton County.  It's behind creating a smoke free Fulton County by way of getting rid of 2nd hand spoke in business, restaurants and bars.  It's TIME!  We are so far behind the rest of America!  Hell even Savannah is ahead of Atlanta!  I just want to put it out there!  We need this change for our children and all of our futures.

There wil be a HUGE push coming in the next few months.  For more information, checkout the website - www.breatheeasyfulton.org and twitter @smokefreefulton.

Also, May 31st will be a HUGE day in Fulton County.  Mark Your Calendars!

Atlanta Celebrity Drive By

2 weeks ago, I was at Blake's on the Park for karaoke.  A customer was singing TLC's No Scrubs and right in the beginning of the second verse Kand Burress of the Real Housewives of Atlanta came out and started singing the song she wrote!  You know I had to get my cell phone out and document the performance -

Also, Ms. Reese Witherspoon and her hubby were arrested this past weekend for DUI!  And she said to the cop, do you know my name?

Happy Monday!

The First Post

So many of my friends have mentioned to me that I needed a blog.  After nearly 16 months of not being fully employed and bombarding my friends with facebook and twitter posts, I have moved to having a blog.  Big Shout Out to my non-sexual life partner Ryan Roche for setting this up with his magical 30 year old fingers.  Get ready for a fun ride with all of my fun thoughts! :) You know I had a stroke when i was 2 years old.  Scary huh!

Tonight was the  Real Housewives of Atlanta Reunion Part 3.  Really part 3, but so worth it!  Kenya and Porscha brought it with full force!  Poor Porsha and her 1950s wife ideals.  Too bad your questionable "gay" husband filed for divorce.  I am sure your dumb butt signed a pre-nup.  Oops,  I guess Hosea William Feed the Hungry Foundation will be feeding your hungry ass soon enough!  Good luck with that!  And Gone with the Wind fabulous Kenya.  Your brain and fake contacts have gone with the wind.  Much love to NeNe and Cynthia.  Phaedra is a lying mess as usual.  Isn't that true of all lawyers!

Oh well...don't come for me, unless I send for you!
