Tell Me Something Good Tuesday

Inspiration - "Tell Me Something Good" Rufus feat. Chaka Khan "You ain't got no kind of feeling inside/I got something that will sure 'nuff set your stuff on fire/You refuse to put anything before your pride/I got something that will knock all your pride aside/Tell me something good (tell me, tell me, tell me)/Tell me that you love me/Tell me something good (tell me, tell me, tell me)/Tell me that you like it, yeah"

What I'm Listening To - "Enta Da Stage" Black Moon

Question(s) I Asked Myself Today - "What new phone should I get?" My contract is up and I got a $150 credit with Sprint towards a new phone, but I don't know which one to get.

Instead of going to the strip club Saturday, I swallowed my pride and called up Nia. After being called difficult, I kind of put her off my radar for a minute, but I decided to suck it up and give it a try. The plan was to go get some food and some drinks and talk. (No, Liquor and TV she did not have her name airbrushed on her jeans.) The night reinforced what I already was thinking. Chuck, this is not a Love Connection. Nia basically spent the whole night complaining about everything. She hates her job, hates her apartment, her food wasn't good, the drink was too strong (WTF?) and so on. I was just sitting there not nearly as tipsy as I needed to be to listen to all that complaining. By the time we parted ways, I was drained by her negativity. She was like an Eeyore (Mocha 2006) or Debbie Downer from Saturday Night Live.

Anyway, as I am apt to do, I zoned out and started thinking. Am I like that? Am I one of those chronic complainers? I hope I don't come across like that. I'm quick to tell you all about what I don't like or what gets on my nerves, but do I let you know what makes me happy? Am I too cynical? Don't answer these questions for me. This is something I have to think about for myself.

So with that, blogger family, I need your help. Tell me something good. Anything! Give me some good news. What's good in your world? Maybe your good news will inspire me to break out of this cynical phase that I seem to be in. Oh yeah, and I'm sorry for that joke I played on y'all this weekend (not really, that shit was funny!) Have a great Tuesday!
