new era

August 1st is fast approaching and I need to find tenants for this apartment. I'm moving into a one bedroom and I'm superfcknexcited. So today, on my day off, I've been walking around just touring different sites; some are better than others but utilities and appliances have been the prime determining factor on whether or not I want to move into the place. I was lucky when I got this apartment -- washer&dryer + a microwave with utilities included?! -- totally took advantage of this!

I have an appointment to see a place across the street in 10 minutes.

ahhh wish me luck, pleeeease.
(or else I'll be homeless!)

SR; the average american male

finished the book i bought yesterday this morning but i had to take a break last night because of some... certain circumstances. anyway, the title is the average american male by chad kultgen & it was the realest book i've ever read (i have no better way of putting it). easy read, light, and targeted for my generation, it still had little lessons i think i'll carry with me. despite the constant references to sex and cussing every other line, i genuinely liked it and recommend it to anyone who doesn't get offended easily. besides, i think that kinda stuff is a good change from all the seriousness we're all too tangled in.

where the streets sparkle

being home has it's perks. for one, it's most likely my day off and my schedule consists of absolutely nothing. and then, my parents feed me! it's a stretch but they do that when i'm in richmond.. however, eating their food, instead of using money they give me to eat my own food, is very different. i miss their cooking and almost wish i could recreate it when they're not around (i've tried, i'm terrible). i love spending time with my family, especially my nieces and nephew, because it hurts not being around 24/7 to watch them all grow up -- these are the times i know i'll miss the most. to top it all off, i feel like there's nothing to worry about: no dirty dishes, no laundry, no cat hair, no missed meals, no loud neighbors at 4am, no random fuckers stealing my tags, no weekly shoot-offs at new york fried chicken, no dirty old men following me down the street (no men at all following me down the street), and most of all, i feel safe in the sense that i'm surrounded by people i know will keep me safe.

home is where the heart is.
