Kelvin's Corner

Just a small place for me to rant and rave about the joys of life, love, and other REAL *ish....

Truly an old soul I have been told, love the classics when it comes to music, movies. Actually look forward to going to the barbershop in my neighborhood to hear the stories ( and lies) that eventually get told.

Weekend Recap

What’s up Boys and Girls?,

Just wanted to give you guys a little recap of my long weekend.

Friday:

Not too much went on after work on Friday, just usual stuff. I tried to make it to the barbershop, but wasn’t successful thanks to Friday evening traffic and the fact that it was made worse because of construction in certain areas. Got home and mad dinner, which reminds me, I want to thank all of you who cared to contribute to the previous post asking for any good and quick recipes that could help a brotha save a little cash. LOL

**FYI…the Spicy Oven Fried Catfish is OFF THE HANDLE!!!**

Pretty much chilled and watched ESPN and movies the rest of the night.

Saturday:

Woke up bright and early (don’t ask me why) and made it to the Barber Shop to get a haircut. I got there and as usual on a Saturday, there was a full house. I try NOT to go on the weekends for this reason, but I managed to make it out in about an hour’s time. After the Barber Shop, I stopped by Target to pick up some miscellaneous things for the house. Surprisingly, my Target expedition wasn’t as bad as I thought it might be, maybe because I went early in the morning and a lot of people weren’t even up yet, don’t know. I got what I needed and left there. My buddy Dorian called me and told me about this little party he was having later on that night and I told him I would fall through for a little bit. Made it back home and hung around the house for a bit until the games came on. Which leads me to my next topic…..THE PLAYOFFS!!!

No real surprises here.

Philadelphia beat Minnesota…..knew it would happen, Minnesota is toooo suspect. And even though Terrel Owens didn’t play, McNabb is just unstoppable!!!

Atlanta just embarrassed St. Louis…I won’t even comment on that one…two words..Michael Vick!!

Pittsburgh beat the Jets…Actually this was the best game I saw all weekend. I can only say this….whatever that field goal kicker’s name was for the Jets…might need to start looking for a new job!! I mean what are the odds of missing two field goals back to back like that?!?! Oh well I wanted Pittsburgh to win it anyway!!

New England beat Indianapolis….No surprise here. Offense gets you the highlight reels and Defense wins championships….nuff said. I like Payton Manning, but if your defense is as lack luster as Indy’s was, Manning will never get a ring. Plain and simple.

After the football was over, I headed to the party. Nice little set, only thing was, there were waaaayyy too many dudes at the party. Don’t you hate that, when its not a good mixture of women to men and vice versa? I stayed for a little while, had a few drinks and left.

Sunday:

Not too much happening on Sunday, just chilled out at the house.

Monday:

Watched a bunch of older movies that all had some sort of “Black History” theme to them in honor of MLK’s birthday. I swear, if I have to turn on the TV again and see Mississippi Burning, I think I will scream!!! But it was cool I actually got some reading done on Monday. I finished White Butterfly (Walter Mosely) and I started reading A Little Yellow Dog (Walter Mosely).

All in all it was a pretty good relaxing weekend.

Have you read Bad Boy Brawly Brown? It was on the discount rack at the book store along with some of really good books so I got it. When I opened the cover when I got home, it was autographed by Walter Mosley, I thought that was pretty cool.

Glad you had a good 3 day weekend cause I only had the usual 2!
