Personality Questions
Currently listening to: Do What You Want To by McKenzie Eddy
I like filling out surveys. Well, let me briefly think about this. Sometimes I do. I’m a member of one of those survey web sites. You earn reward points and receive cool prizes such as gift cards, cash, and random items that you may or may not ever use, for real.
But, I wanted to post some questions with answers, so that others...

Can I Have Some Of That?
Yesterday, I went to lunch at 12:57 p.m. I exited the building and headed straight to my car. It was a beautiful day outside. The sun was shinning, the air was crisp, and the end of another work week concluded in four hours.
While walking toward my car, I happened to see a young lady way ahead of me. She did the oddest thing. She started skipping. She was walking alone. I believe there were two...

Take Flight
It will be nearly two weeks since I had the pleasure of being off work for ten days. I can’t lie. It felt great! I will be off work for MLK day, so that’s pretty sweet. I’m trying to save money for future travel plans. I love packing until 2 a.m., sleeping for two hours straight, then waking up to the dark clear sky to make a 6 a.m. flight. I can’t wait!
Lately, I’ve...

The Tiger and the Snow →
For some very odd reason, this film popped inside my head. I haven’t watched it in over a year. This film really captivated me. I would definitely recommend that others see it.

Almost Over
My two-week vacation is coming to an end. I return to work on Tuesday. I’m sad. I’ve been waiting all year for this break. It went by so fast!

Natural Hair (Only Temporary)
I decided to wear my hair in its natural state for a few days. I haven’t worn my naturally curly hair since… I don’t know. It’s been awhile. I’ll be totally honest. I’m not a big fan of wearing my hair natural. Sue me. I like seeing ladies with their natural hair, but me—not so much.
So, you’re probably wondering why the heck am I wearing it...

I Miss Traveling
Tonight, my cousin and I waited patiently at the airport for our good friend to arrive from New York. Before I left home for the short distance drive, I started looking at old pictures of places that I’ve been to. My mind was filled with memories and thoughts of my past travels. I couldn’t help but think of how much I miss traveling.
I don’t miss flying, but I miss that...

Vacation Time
My two week vacation officially started today. I’m already bored. I woke up at 6:28 a.m., then went back to sleep. I woke up again after 10:30 a.m., which nixes any plans of going to Chick-fil-A for breakfast.
It’s cold and wet outside. I still have to finish my Christmas shopping. This weather isn’t motivating me to do anything. Sigh… I didn’t realize how soon...

Things I Would Say
I don’t have a Twitter account. People tend to think that I am anti-(insert anything popular).
“Man, get back on Facebook.” I’m over it.
“Son, you need to get that iPhone.” Sigh… Yeah, whatever.
“Sign-up for Twitter tonight.” Uh, no.
Tumblr is popular! So, maybe I’m not against all things popular and well-liked. Anyway, I don’t...

Question To Ask Yourself [3]
1. What do you sometimes pretend to understand that you really do not?
Math… I always had trouble with it. I had difficulty grasping certain mathematical concepts. I used to envy my peers in elementary school who left our classroom at a certain time every other day to meet with other intellects for the gifted and talented math and science program. Well, I was a part of the gifted and...

What A Crappy Day
I had a crappy day. I won’t give specifics, because I rather not be overly dramatic about what occurred. I don’t know a person alive that hasn’t experienced a crappy day. They are bound to happen.
But somehow, I was waiting for that moment where all was right. You know… When something good happens. Well, I’m still waiting for that moment. Let me stop. Things could...

Where Have You Been?
How’s everyone? I hope all is well. I haven’t been posting as much. This is my sixth post for November. I’m currently sitting on my bed in Indian style with my pimples covered in cream. I’m feeling a little lazy this Thanksgiving afternoon.
During my blogging absence, I was able to attend a painting class. My best friend signed us up for said class, which was a complete...

www.courtesyofmoi.com
Courtesyofmoi.com has resurrected (at least on Tumblr anyway). I signed up for Jimdo, Moonfruit, and countless others. I figured it would be best to return the [dot] com to Tumblr. The aforementioned website hosting services were great, especially Jimdo. They actually sent me candy and a handwritten postcard thanking me for my business.
I became frustrated when I learned these website builders...

Personal Style
I hope to create a post featuring my shoe collection. I hardly post anything about my personal style. I love fashion, however, I don’t consider myself a fashionable person. What was that? Ah, great question. I have no clue as to when I’ll create this post. I’m trying to decide if it will be a weekly post or a one-time post. Who knows… Now excuse me while I continue with my...
