Got Some Sh*t On My Mind....


It's cold outside and I'm sitting here ... well of course I'm not sitting here like in the picture but in front of my computer.

Today I went to see the Cavs get trounced by the Phoenix Suns with a few friends ... Marvin and Tre . Last night I hung out with an old basketball teammate slamming back brews and watched a few movies courtesy of Bootleg Jordan. ( I've been dropping his name enough for him to get a website of his own!!! Making note to self to tell him to do so.)

Friday night I went to my high school to watch a game .. afterwards I hung out with my high school coach and some old heads at the neighborhood watering hole. After the third round and it was my turn to buy I realized that I was drinking with " MY FUGGIN COACH"
Joe Lynch, the man that other than my father when I was growing up made me cringe when imagining him coming around a corner and catching me with MD 20/20 to my lips. My old man would have punched me in the chest and drug my ass home if he caught me getting gassed with my homies .
Coach Lynch would have punched me , made me run suicides and then drug me home for that ass whuppin my parents were going to put on me . But friday night I was 39 and a grown ass man ... we spoke to eachother as men and we closed that bar down do you hear me !!!


I'm looking at my life now versus back in the gap when I viewed the weekend as a time designated for kicking it with women or performing onstage. I believe I'm starting to settle down or I'm just getting old.
I don't believe it's I'm getting old... though it's no mystery I'm getting older .
Have gray hairs in places no one brags about to prove that. I believe I'm just starting to do things men that have or are maturing gravitate to. Real friends and real relationships .

At the beginning of the month I went through my pda and saw that I had 3000 contacts, and reflected on who was important enough to be considered worthy to be contacted .
Of course I didn't waste valuable sprint minutes to call folks and ask them who they were and why do I have your number in my phone or find out if the numbers were still working .( yet another shameless plug for the people at sprint they better start giving me some free minutes!!!)
I just went through the contacts and hit delete until I realized that most of the people who's numbers I had didn't have a place for in this new phase of life .I thought of it as a spring cleaning of my world in the winter time . I'm down to about 600 folks that for various reasons have made the cut.
Criteria for need to be contacted ...
1.) We can make some money together ( ie agents, managers, promoters, comics or entrepreneurs)

2.) You owe me enough money that I just can't write it off

3.) When I have my 40th birthday party in November I would love to have you in attendance

4.) We shared a love or a freaky good time and there are pictures or videos of those times that might come back to haunt me when I truly blowuptuate I can find you when i see them in the National Enquirer. So I can sue your azz!!!
