hmm.

TODAY, i got advice from someone who only knew me for three seconds that completely knocked my socks off. how DARE she read me like a book, we were just having small talk over overpriced subway sandwiches that i can easily craft in my baby ass kitchen. 

if sitting through an 8hr training wasnt enough - to mull over this advice, i decided to go to my outdoor bootcamp class. feeling like that wasnt enough torture & i was feelin mad energetic, i went to the gym and ran five miles. 

instead of tumbling off the treadmill, i ran to CVS to take out some cash for gas (ha, im a rapper). drenched in sweat and smelling like a newborn puppy, a whack ass bum dude came up to me and said, “mmm, mmm, mmmmm!” i stared at him for thirteen seconds. he got really uncomfortable. then he apologized. seriously, some statements need no reaction. they know how stupid as hell they sound before they say it.

after washing off the puppy smell, i sat on my couch and watched bad girls club. i once thought i could be on that show. let’s all laugh out loud. i dont snort crack nor do i have a desire to make a complete ass of myself on natural television. but hey, we all do something strange for a little change. 

& all of these daily activities derailed me from thinking about that random advice. 

chicago is humid as fahk. i miss west coast weather. when is it going to be winter. (yep, i said it lol)
