Last week a long time friend/former significant other instant messaged me while I was at work. Usually we chit-chat a couple of times a week. Never anything major, just about his work/family/OkayPlayer/music..etc..etc..His birthday is coming up and I asked how he was going to celebrate it. From what he told me he didn’t have anything planned besides work. Then the subject changed. He told me that I came up in a conversation he was having with a friend of his. Knowing that we don’t have mutual friends in common, I was curious as to what this conversation could have been about.

Maybe I should have not asked, because that question opened up the flood gate of memories that I locked away. From what he told me, the conversation seemed to have been based on his past ‘experiences’ and who he would always remember and how that person (me) made him feel. Needless to say, I was caught a bit off guard & pretty much embarrassed that I was even mentioned in that conversation.

I didn’t feel the need to ask for any more elaboration, but it did get me to think about some of the men in my past, especially him. Our relationship was one of the most easy going relationships I ever had. There were never any arguments (well besides me always readjusting his driver seat when I had his car), no stress, we were both two easy going people who got along extremely well. He always cooked for me, made sure I got back & forth to work without having to deal with the NJ/NYC transit system and he was the most attentive to my physical needs.

The conversation we had the other day got me thinking (again) about the “what-ifs”. What could have happened if he didn’t relocate to South Jersey? What if I didn’t relocate to Maryland after he was back in the NYC/NJ area? What if I didn’t think the grass was greener when it came to what I had with him and what I thought I could have with someone else? Since none of those questions will ever be answered, I’m only left to reminisce.

(Happy Birthday, ESB!)

As a recent resident of Prince Georges County, I have definitely had my fair share of run-ins with the lackluster customer service and incompetency of their public servants. Good old County Executive Jack Johnson, although he has been in office for quite some time, really should worry less about the completion of the National Harbor area in Fort Washington, and more about the emergency system in the county.

In closing, Ms. Coleman, I hope you eventually received the help you reached out for, without any further complications.

Last night I laid restless in bed for a couple of hours. I tossed and turned and tossed and turned some more. I really wasn’t feeling too well either. My body was warm but I was still freezing. For some reason I couldn’t wind down and became more agitated at the fact that I couldn’t fall asleep, so I decided to get up and go to the bathroom to wash my face and get a drink of water.

While I was sitting in the changing room in my bathroom, I saw a glimmer out of the corner of my eye. I thought maybe that will put me to sleep! I always enjoyed the vibrating motion of one of my favorite electronic devices. The sound alone is soothing, not to mention the sleekness and curves of it when it’s in my hands.

I stood at the sink and in my typical fashion when I’m about to perform my ‘duty’, I propped my leg up on the counter and leaned in so that I can get a good look at the expressions on my face. I grabbed my device and went to turn it on. I played around with the switch a few times, but it wouldn’t make any sounds or movements! I thought to myself, ‘ain’t this a bitch!’.

The batteries died

my

favorite

toothbrush!!!

If by chance you’re into other things that vibrate…I do suggest this little doo-hicky (or however you spell it)! It may look like some antique electric toothbrush, but, uh…my friends swear by it!

I’m addicted.

Yeah, you read it correctly.

A D D I C T E D!

Not to nicotine, not crack, not alcohol, but….

G O O G L E!

Hello, I’m Funkyblackchick. and I’m addicted to GOOGLE!

I have this bad habit of google’ing people. I guess it’s just a part of my inquisitive nature (nosey has such a negative connotation). I started this back in my last job when I would interview people & check their references. Occasionally, information wouldn’t pan out, so I would google their names and/or email addresses and it was always amazing what would pop up. So now, when I meet someone, I always make a mental to note to google them and I’m always amazed at what I find. (To my friend in Wisconsin, all I can say is wow!! Donkeys???)

What’s even more interesting is how people come across my page. Yes, you (wait, don’t go just yet….lol)! Thanks to feedburner & feedjit I’m able to tell what people (yes, you again) were searching for to have came across my page.

Now, if I ever thought there were some interesting people in the world, my search results solidify it. Who would have known that on a daily basis people are searching for:

• Strap-ons
• Bleached Pubes
• All Dogs Go To Heaven
• Frank Lucas ran Newark
• Listen to Helen Keller
• Blow Jobs

According to my page statistics, out of the 1,000+ searches my blog has appeared in, “Strap-ons”, is the number #1 search source. Who would have thunk it?

In any event, whether you’re searching for strap-ons, wondering if dogs actually go to heaven, looking for an article about Helen Keller or wondering why your pubes are white, thanks for stopping by!

Yes, We Can!
