Recently I joined a new collab blog that covers… pretty much anything that floats your boat: sports, fashion, lifestyle, consumer reviews, and life. It’s at Freshpatrol.com. This is my first time on a group blog since xanga.com/supersexysix, my namesake. Anyway, I think FreshPatrol can turn out to be pretty cool website with a wide array of topics and insights. Check it.

In GQ’s October issue, Denzel Washington was asked, “If you had one thing to say to African-American readers of GQ, what would you say?” However, I think his response applies to anyone and everyone: “Take responsibility… Put your slippers way under your bed so when you get up in the morning, you have to get on your knees to find them. And while you’re down there, start your day with prayer. Ask for wisdom. Ask for understanding. I’m not telling you what religion to be, but work on your spirit. You know, mind, body, and spirit. Imagine — work the brain muscle. Keep your body in tune — it’s your temple. All things in moderation. Continue to search. That’s the best part of life for me — continue to try to be the best man.”

Summer ‘12 in one word: it

Summer ‘12 in two words: it was

Summer ‘12 in three words: it was awesome

Summer ‘12 in too many words: It was awesome for a few reasons.

  1. I had the opportunity to work at Texas Defender Service. FINALLY, actual legal work. Turns out most of my 1L year was pointless, who woulda guessed it? Only one class came in handy. I can’t get a refund on the other classes.
  2. Three European capitals in eight days with the family, minus Jon & Oph. Castles, history, good food, train rides, and churches.
  3. Diana and I began dating in the crossfires of my finals and her GMAT. Summer presented itself, and I’d say we took full advantage. We had a lot of great memories to springboard us into this new school year. Also, applauds go out to God for Vince landing a job, Gabe starting PT school, and Kwan in PA school.

Let it begin.

Things that shouldn’t bother me:

When something mildly amusing crosses your neighbor’s mind and they tell you to look it up on your computer.

When people put the parenthesis of a smiley face first, then the colon (:

She was always welcoming, always ready with open arms to embrace you. I called her “Grandma” because it was natural to. I would sit down and eat her cooking, not ever remembering the difference in our last names. Though our visits may have been sparse, we were never strangers. Her firm, long hugs and kisses on my cheek would always assure me that I could always show her off and say, “This is my grandma.”

I’m in love with my wife and my kids. I require very little. Friends come over, the kids come over when they can. We eat dinner. And I’m happy to play along with their momentum. I save it for them. This is it.

I am determined

to blog more during the summer. Work at Texas Defender Service starts tomorrow. Not sure at all what I’ll be doing, or even what “capital punishment” even means. I hear it’s important and relevant to my job description though, guess we’ll find out soon.

Love is a verb / It ain’t a thing / It’s not something you hold / It’s not something you scream / When you show me love / Don’t need your words / Yea love ain’t a thing / Love is a verb
