My Sweet Daugthers

I was driving to the store with the girls in the car and I started playing some Celine Dion. I sung along with it, hitting the high notes and all (terribly), and really getting into it as if nobody can see me or hear me (well, it was dark, so I don't think anybody coulda really seen me). After a while, I stopped singing and asked my girls if they like my singing. They both said "Yes." I started laughing because I totally expected them to say "No" and make fun of me. They can be real honest and critical, so that caught me by surprise. I guess they really do like my singing. Thanks.

Another day, we stopped at Wal-Mart and I got out the car to walk toward the store to find Mumina a motorized wheelchair to use. An old, white, big guy was using one of those chairs coming out of the store and he was close to his vehicle, so I went to him to ask if I could take the chair after he unloads his things. He said "sure" so I went and got everybody out the car. After he gave us the chair and he headed back to his vehicle, Sanai says to me "He was handsome like you." She's so sweet.

Panhandling for a Funeral

I was driving up the street from my job to pick up some food from a restaurant for a meeting I lead when I saw people on almost all corners of a busy intersection and in the median at the stop lights holding signs to raise money for a funeral. The signs said something about a funeral for a guy that got killed in a car accident and I'm thinking "It's a little ironic to be in the middle of a busy intersection for someone who died in a car accident and there's a lot of crazy drivers out here and you put yourself in danger with so much traffic. Someone holding a sign was actually walking in the crosswalk when it really wasn't okay to be crossing at the time since traffic on the other side of the street had a green light. It would be so embarrassing if one of them got hit. I'm sorry for your loss and all but stop with the begging for money in the middle of busy intersections. Do people actually give money there? There are so many people with signs begging for money ...

I Got Stopped for Speeding in a School Zone

A few weeks ago I was pulled over right after dropping the girls off at school. I was heading to work, but right before I got out the school zone I see flashing lights from a motorcycle cop. I wasnt even going that fast and I was behind another vehicle going at their pace. When I pulled over I was thinking I should take my phone out and start recording like a first amendment auditor. He told me I was going "21 in a 15" which is so stupid. Like, come on, thats not even that fast, idiot. I should have been like "am I being detained? What crime do you suspect me of committing? Do you have reasonable articulable suspicion?" He asked for ID and registration and I gave it to him like a good boy. I should have got into nigger mode and argued with him and pulled the race card. "Why didnt you pull the other car over? Is it cuz I'm black?" Maybe I should have pulled off and got into a high speed chase. That would be cool. Anyways, sure enough I got a written war...

Where Dem Blacks?

Image
I've been at my job for a year now and I'm like the only black person in the office. There's actually a black field guy that I've never seen but I know he's black because I saw his Facebook when I looked someone else up and saw he was a friend of that person (No, I don't stalk people.........😐). Over the year I did see a black girl getting a tour of the office and later in the year there was a black guy I saw walking around the office for a few days. Maybe they're working upstairs or in another building, but I have not seen them again. We have two two-story buildings but it's not real big. Overall it is a good sized company which has offices in a few other western states (2 in CA, 1 in AZ, and 2 in ID). There's enough people in the Las Vegas office that there should be more black people around. If they are here I should see them at least once in a while, but I highly doubt they are here. Not to be racist, but we have so many Asians working here (and...
