Here it is 2008 and I am no more prepared to face another year yet another birthday, but there is no putting either on hold until I am prepared so I might as well get the show on the road or put my ducks in a row. This past year was more of a disappointment than I care to elaborate on, in fact it just did not go according to my plans, I did not meet many of my goals only a small fraction of what I had put out to do during the year past, but no time like the present to strive towards those goals. I suppose the brotha that wrote in his blog that: "One can not plan life." Knew exactly what he was talking about, because you can't plan life. This year I have not place or make any particular resolutions, being that I have remaining work still on my plate from year past or yesteryear.







I spent most of the holidays volunteering however; being that everyone that I would have spent the holidays with was out of town so there was no one else in particular to spend the holidays with and since I do volunteer often, I decided to spend some time with people whom would relish the idea of spending time with someone in their home and having a decent dinner and conversation. Thanks to my 3G, I did not have to worry about preparing the turkey she cooked it the night before she left for her trip, she has been such a great friend. It felt strange to invite people from the street and shelter into my home, but after the first hour or two they felt at home and there was some great conversation, it turns out the brotha became homeless simply because he refused to work and allow the government to remove child support from his check when in fact the child they collect for isn't even his child, but the court has not allowed him the opportunity to prove it, according to the young man he states that the he was taken to court twice and both times the judge told him: feed the kid and it will look just like you, no need for a test besides the test cost money and you stated you won't pay for any such test, so I order you to pay child support fo th child." Over all the brotha is okay he actually has skills (employable skills), and he is personable. No I did not have him, besides there were others invited and they all had a good meal, given a small gift and a cab rides back to the shelter, but of course they took the bus instead of using the money for a cab. It was a nice experience.
