Whats with the wedding update?

April 20th, 2009

I wish I could tell you that I’m stress free, things are perfect, and we are full steam ahead. But I can’t. I’m more stress than ever, every situation has a Murphy’s Law complexity syndrome behind them, and yes we are full steam ahead. But to be safe and not run the risk of running head first into a brick wall, I’ve toggle back my aggressive meter towards our wedding. So rest assure…

The wedding is still On.

With less that 4 months away, 250+ guest attending, over 10 different vendors, all trying to cram 2 years of planning into 8 hours. Yes the Wedding is still on. We’re still sane and we still have that optimistic personality. Its going to be a blast.

Tardiness explained

February 4th, 2009
From The Media Center

For the past 2 months Jo and I have been working very hard on a new business venture. And while it has taken a toll on both of us, both physical and mentally, its still a very great feeling to see it up and running. We have a lot more to do concerning the new place but with a wedding to plan, stress and time is the most opposing factors set up against us.

From The Media Center

I know that we’ll be fine and I promise that I’ll try and post even with the new Venture. But here’s to my Jo for sticking by a dictator of a man, when it comes to business.

4 ways to happiness!

November 21st, 2008
From 2007 Ohio Sckle Cell Run


1. Try New Things
Strong relationships are based on reliability and trust, but that can stagnate if the couple doesn’t look for new ways to explore and enjoy each other’s company. Find new activities that sound fun to both of you and spend a few weekends trying them out. Ask each other about activities you used to participate in before you met and see if you might want to try them again. Quieter things, like trying a new restaurant or taking a vacation to somewhere neither of you have been, can still provide fresh discussion fodder and perhaps help you notice a new side in each other that you haven’t seen before.


2. Celebrate Your Differences
No couple is 100 percent the same all the time. Rather than trying to change someone to fit who you think he should be, acknowledge the places where you diverge and set time in the relationship aside for each of you to pursue your distinctive passions individually. At the same time, talk with your partner about your differences, and get him to expound upon things that you don’t normally share. Give your partner room to breathe and expect the same. Flourishing as individuals can help strengthen the bonds you share as a couple.


3. Speak Openly and Honestly
Never be afraid to ask for what you want and don’t hide things that you feel you need to talk about. Unresolved disputes and unspoken concerns are the biggest obstacles to a growing relationship. Give each other permission to be honest with each other without fear of reprisal, while simultaneously expressing your feelings in compassionate and even terms. Your partner isn’t a mind reader and can’t always tell when you are upset or worried. Learn to talk through your disagreements and foster an atmosphere where neither of you is afraid to speak your mind.


4. Don’t Be Afraid to Be Vulnerable
“I’ve always dreamed about being a championship racer.” “I started a novel in college, and I’d like to finish it.” “Your lacy underwear really gets me excited.” They can sound so trivial and yet many people have a hard time expressing such desires, even to those closest to them. They’re afraid of appearing unduly childish or ridiculous. Allow yourself to be vulnerable to your partner and let her be vulnerable to you. Let each other talk about foolish flights of fancy or dreams you had as children about who you wanted to be when you grew up. Revealing private thoughts and dreams, when undertaken in an atmosphere of trust, can strengthen the bonds of intimacy and help you grow closer as a couple.

Quantum of So Lame

November 15th, 2008

Another James Bond flick. Since the 1980’s I was a pawn in the eyes of James Bond. A sucker when it comes to good “James Bond” flick.

007 Bond and Martin

“Quantum of Solace” was a real dissappointment. After waiting so long, I was expecting more, and all I received for my $23.00(Jo and I) was this. After the first 5 minutes into the movie, I just wanted to get up and leave. Bond has a way of destroying everything good (including that Auston Martin I droll Over), but thats what makes him Bond.

Every action of Bond’s seems to keep you in your seat eagerly awaiting another
scene, but my expectation was not aswered like I wanted. Its with Utter dis-belief that I say that this movie could have been better.

If you was a boy…

November 11th, 2008

You’ve herard answers to many artists songs and yet again a retourt such as this this cannot be looked over. One of the guys from Boy II Men answered Beyonce’s song of “if she was a boy.” We all know theirs always another side to the story, and with this retaliation, it all makes perfect sense.

Are we truly God-Like?

October 20th, 2008


Gen1:26 Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, [b] and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”

Gen 1:27 So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them.

These two verses are the begining of an ongoing lesson that I really would like to share with you and get a feed back if possible. We start with these two verses and I’ll continue to dive deeper and deeper into this topic of “Our God like featues” once a week. Please leave as much comments as you like.

Margie and Joel

October 1st, 2008

It was a weekend that was full of hurt and pain, but the invite that was set a few weeks back from our close friends, Joel and Marggie (Blade and Sassy), left a feeling quite different. And it was so needed. After the burial of a brother, Blade and Sassy’s wedding reception was just what was needed. At first I asked how could they hold a smile when they went through so much within the past week, but they needed a change in mood like we all did.

Held at a cozy, very intimate spot called Leonardo Davinci Lodge, they setting for the night was exactly what the family needed. Close friends and family came to celebrate what all thought was already a road that Blade and Sassy took a long time ago. Blade in his all white suit looking like a Don in the making and Sassy looking so beautiful and classy, made the night a beauitful and well remembered event. Take a look at some of the pics taken on this beautiful occassion.

Vacation 2008; Orlando

September 15th, 2008
From Our Travels

It wasn’t that much different from a regular day’s routine. Got up at 6am, rush through getting showered, dressed, and out the door. The Itineray was simple and still complex when you really look at it. We would leave out of Laguardia and jump to Cleveland’s main Hub in the Northeast for Continental. Then Jump from Cleveland to Orlando to start our vacation. I’m more than ready and willing to push on but the hestation look on Jo’s face could tell a story all on its own.

After convincing her that we’ll be all right and well on our way for this trip, we took flight, or should I say flights to our main and planned destination, Orlando. See, we had to choose Florida for the vacation. It was the spot that Jo’s addiction to sun light and sandy beaches would make any addict feel like they’ve got their just worth. It was also where, Supreme Ryderz, will be hosting an event that they call their very first. So Off to Orlando we go and with an Itineray to follow that will make me very upset if its not met.

From Our Travels

Getting to Orlando was not as bad as we thought. No delays and no problems. We arrived a little after 4pm and Budget hooked me up with a 2009 Mitubiushi Eclipse with only 4 miles on it. They rep stated that we would be the first to actually drive the car, but after careful review, I think he was just pulling my leg. Anywhich way, We’re mobile and ready to go. 

On our very first day, We met up with some close friends to cruise the streets of Ole Town and get our selves into a little trouble. Bikes, Go-karts, and a dissappointed shooter later, we emerged settled, tired, and worned. Back to the Hotel which was literrally seconds away from International Drive, a place which still cannot compare to Broadway in NYC but it tries.

The next day we took a 60 mile hike to Jo’s Grandma in Lake Whales. The trip was sweet. Old faces and friends that tends to make your day as you sit down and share pass moments. I was given a new name, Hector. Thanks to Will, Jo’s Uncle in law. But thats forgiven. The kids and Gradma was great. Can’t wait to see em again.After the trip to grandma’s, Cocoa Beach was next, with Jo baring little to no clothing. No complaints from me, I was as happy as a pig in shit. Under going all this climate shift, my body was not accepting to it, especially with my 30 year old bench mark period being put aside last month. The beach was different from the usually crusty syringed fill waters of New York Beaches. We Offically labeled it the beach of all beaches. So Cocoa is now the adopted destination of Jojo and Free.

On Sunday We put aside our vacation for a couble of hours and got to work at the Supreme Ryderz Offical club event. It was an experience we would not miss for the world. More info and pics could be found on www.Supremeryderz.com . The image of my thoughts manifested to reality was a great experience.

On Monday we relaxed in the pool provided to us by the Comfort Inn of Orlando. It was fun despite a small head cold and a few drizzles. But nevertheless I used it to do dsome laps. On Tuesday we flew back to NYC. With no delays, but early departure out of Orlando, we headed to Cleveland to jump back to NY. Arriving at Cleveland was not as bad as we thought, with only a 1 hour delay on our flight because of storms in NYC. But the trip was pleasant, all in all. Every year, we try and take each other out to a new place. Somewhere we’ve not gone before. This year our new found spots for unlimited fun is Cocoa Beach. We found no trash on the white sands of CB and would like to give a thumbs up on this sunspot of Florida. For more Pics
