Sleep Is The Cousin Of Death
Inspiration "N.Y. State of Mind" - Nasty Nas "I never sleep cuz sleep is the cousin of death"
What I'm Listening To: Biggie Duets
Question(s) I asked myself today: "Why can't I fall asleep"
7:00 AM. I have to get up for work in 2 hours. This don't make no sense. Why the hell I'm I still up? I wish I could subscribe some noble attribute to my insomnia. You know, like I was up thinking about some philosophical problem. Or maybe I could say that I was just busy, but that's not the case either. Truth be told, I'm awake just for the sake of being awake. I'm not doing anything that could be considered fun or worthwhile. I'm just watching the clock on my cable box get later and later. Maybe if I was depressed that would be a good excuse, like I can't sleep because I'm sad. Nope, I'm cool, nothing's bothering me. I want to go to sleep, but I can't. What's stopping me? I wish I knew b/c this is getting old. Rather I'm getting old. I can't function on 2 hours sleep like I used to when I was 21. I might as well not even go to sleep b/c before I know it, it'll be time to wake up. I'm notorious for hitting the snooze button and going back to sleep but I can't do that today. I got things to do. I need to get a haircut in the morning and I can't be late for work today, b/c I have a meeting at 10:30, a conference call at 11:30 and all kinds of other stuff to do before the weekend. Even worse, I know I'm gonna hear "why are your eyes so red?" all day. Because I didn't go to sleep last night. So, buttafly, if you read this before you see me there's your answer. Don't bother asking me b/c I get cranky when I'm tired. Last time, I stayed up all night I wrote this. This time I am rambling on and on about nothing. Like a Faulkner novel, this is some stream of consciousness writing. Damn, it's 7:25 now. I definitely am not going to sleep. Might as well start getting ready for my day.

sorry you weren't able to get to sleep. this just means you'll have an early night tonight, cuz you're body ain't having staying up late like this two nights in a row. at least, i would hope not.
hey! I can't believe it was you who was commenting on my blog!!! THAT IS CRAZY!!! Anyway...your blog had me cracking up for a lot of reasons...1 being- "why that nigga wearin a half shirt"...and 2...niecy..lol.
I'll be checking you!!
so true confession time. After I wrote this, the first thing I did was cancel my meeting and took a 2 hour power nap. I had to skip the haircut which is unfortunate, b/c my hair is looking like Rick Fox right about now.
@ nikki I'm gonna try to pull one of your moves and skip out of work early to catch some zzz's. You know I got some important business to handle today. LOL
@ unsaid. Let me say again, congrats on the book. I can say I knew her when... I was just as shocked as you were when i found out that was you. and the Niecy thing, I didn't wanna use her real name exactly for situations like this. this is a seriously small world we travel in. come on back at anytime.
@ unsaid, I forgot to tell you there may be some "based on a true story" stuff on here that she don't wanna read, but if she does that's cool too.
okay, ma. I'm still down. I was thinking of biting the concept of your Phil part 1 story and telling it from his perspective just to keep my skills tight. I won't post it, but I wanted to see if I could do it. Any objections???
none whatsoever. you should post it, though. how am i gonna get to read it???
Hi T Casanova,
Nice to see that you are stil writing. I always knew you preferred us thick dark sistahs. Thanks for not making me look like a fool. And I'm sorry your heart got broken.
Neicy
I'll email it to you first, and then if you feel I did it justice, I'll post it as a companion piece to yours
it's all good t. cassanova...i loved the way you told the story (as well as the other stories on the blog)...i just can't believe this is you!
It's me, check the pics on "Check Yo self" and "Go Shorty, It's Your Birthday".
Niecy's in the house! LOL...
what up, "niecy"? for the record, you weren't supposed to ever see that, but since you have it's all good. I could never make you look like a fool, well maybe a couple years ago, but i wouldn't do that to you now.
man I knew you were gonna correct me on that spelling..I was just so shocked that somebody was actually writing about me
ummmm...i already read the whole blog and forwarded those pictures to said Niecy...come on now, you know how we do!
man I knew you were gonna correct me on that spelling..I was just so shocked that somebody was actually writing about me
@ unsaid: damn, I was hoping y'all was in one of "i'm not talking to her" phases that yall used to go through. That's what I get for trying to give you props. LOL
@ niecy: whatever, you were an important part of my development, how could I not write about you?
@ both of you: I hate both of you for making me even later to work than I already am. LOL
@ nikki: do you know of anywhere else I can move this blog so i can talk my shit again. LMAO
LOL keep up with the blog..
Take care :-)
Ha! I was worried that you wouldn't be as candid! Don't change a thing because of little ole us...
oh and if we weren't talking...this would have made us talk! alright...let me get off this blog.
small world!!!! small world!!!

bb - thanx for the cake. dem aint my kids them bebe kids
C & J - I'm gonna keep it real in here even if you are reading. I have one rule though, if you read my shit, you have to comment. Don't let me find out you up in here reading and not giving me feedback. I can find you, I know your ssn. LMAO
In all honesty I was gonna keep reading the blog and not comment in hopes that you would think I wasn't reading but I've been figured out so...
I really like the blog, you are a for real hip hop head and it looks like you're staying true to yourself.
-C
oh yeah I did listen to Nas before I stole your cd. LOL
you did not. Remember "Big Girls" You didn't even like that before I started playing it out. And I think you meant cds plural. I had to start my whole Nas collection over.
no matter what I say you're gonna think otherwise. I seem to remember someone hating to be wrong....besides it’s your blog
So that's pretty cool that your little bro is getting married and your sister with the new baby. I would have you tell them both congratulations, but you've probably talked so much shit about me that my congratulatory remarks wouldn't even matter :-)
Okay so I have been obsessed with this blog and seeing how you’ve been over the last five years but now that I’ve read the entire thing. I’m good I can finally continue with the rest of my day and I hope my little comments haven’t caused too much drama for your day.
on another note why haven't you mentioned the new Mary J Album? I saw that you were going to get Anthony Hamilton. His album is good and all but I think Mary is better, and don't download it go buy it.
-C
hell he hasn't said anything about the new jaime either..bb
I like them both and I've downloaded both. I would say I like Jamie's better than Mary. Just b/c Mary should NEVER rap. When you can sing like she can, stick to what you do best.
