Cable TV.... where art thou?
I was bored out of my mind last night; I really did not understand the impact TV had on me till yesterday!
Ok so procrastination got the better of my ass and I did not hook up cable in my newest crib…yes o newest, I have lived in Raleigh since March 04 and I have moved 4 times!
How? Well another blog entry altogether but I digress, so about my cable, it was on when I moved in and for a hot minute I was hoping they would leave it on and I could use the extra $60 a month for a mani/pedi I desperately need. How about my cable got turned off! So I had Fumni call and set me up but the best they could do for me was Wednesday! Mind you I called Saturday O! I did not miss it until last night! I got back from work cranky as hell then I took a quick shower and hopped into bed, grabbed the remote and Buyah! It dawned on me…NO FREAKING CABLE!!!! How could I forget, 10 minutes earlier I just snapped at Molayo to go read a book when she whined “ Mummy …the TV is not working!” In horror, like her baba get TV for their village.
I had promised Remi’s mum I would stop by so I left the joint, made a quick stop at IYA AFO’s and then I decided to borrow TV watching from the Banjizzy’s but somehow, I had a ton of things that I needed to do so I bounced at about 9:30pm.
Hold up…wereminite…tomorrow is Wednesday; I SHALL NOT MISS MY CABLE APPOINTMENT! Damn I miss MD, I for don call Uncle Seye to give me the hook-up!
The Odds are against me but pile up enough Odds and you are Even. The inevitability of my ability to consistently overcome overwhelms me. As do the magnificence of God's grace towards me and mine. I marvel at my proximity to my destiny. I am astounded that Can't, Won't and Later disrupt my journey to greatness. A conscious decision is mine to make and christen them Can, Will and Now! My reflection gazes back at me with another challenge at hand, procrastination hinders my reaching my destination. Don't tell me where I should go till you walk in my shoes. Yesterdays mistakes are for tomorrows amends, yet I ponder on them like the hand of time changes? Mediocrity has become a comfort zone and I have turned obstacles into road-blocks rather than stepping-stones, I find myself compromising my integrity as I try to maintain the status quo. How easy it is to condemn me and defame my character, when you really should commend me, and applaud my efforts. Intimidated by my confidence, you misconstrue it as arrogance, I know who I am.... A strong, black-diamond in the rough, a female soldier, a Queen amongst her peers.. now who the hell are you?
