Airport Style

I'm in the Austin airport using a kiosk computer for this post. No, not because I'm addicted to blogging but extremely bored in my current situation. Lets just say I was supposed to be in Dallas last night and i'm not....We should be getting out of here soon and the festivities will begin once i meet my buddies in Dallas. I'll tell the entire story when I get back home....It's actually kind of funny....

Computer's about to time out....

My Friend Bertha

I was thinking that I'd do a special blog post every month or so about cool people that I know. You know, just a little something to shout out to my buds....

So for my first cool person, I chose my friend Bertha. I've never really had one particular person cut my hair. Basically I just stop by any cheap haircuttery and get er' done. About a year and a half ago though I had a lady had Great Clips really do a good job and really took her time. Basically she cared. That was the beginning of mine and Bertha's relationship.

Bertha is just flat out cool. Not only does she do a great job trimming my lid she cracks me up while I'm in the chair. I just absolutely love the energy she has. She's always upbeat and willing to talk about what I got going on. She's been at Great Clips for several years here in Atlanta. She likes to do garden work, hang out with her two grandkids and visit her mother in Chattanooga. Bertha always makes sure that I'm using the right stuff to maximize my hairstyle (J Crew). All in all, just a great person. I'm a Great Clips fan as long as Bertha is there.....Cheers to you my friend....


Bertha was seeing here how I would look with the Hawk.....

Spring is Here Vol 2

So in my previous post talking about the awesome weather I mentioned the pollen count being 4 billion. Now although this was slightly exaggerated it's still pretty ridiculous outside right now. The actual count today was 3,906 which essentially means that in a cubic foot there are more particles of pollen than oxygen. I really couldn't imagine trying to deal with allergies right now. I'd probably have to rock a SARS mask. It honestly looks like a little leprechaun sprinkled his magic dust on pretty much everything. The only cool thing about this is I'm not the only one with a messy car.....



The Culprit......

Spring is Here!!!!

That's right ladies and gentlemen...it's Spring in the ATL. The temps topped out at close to 90 today and it was awesome. Besides for the pollen count being about four billion, things are good.

After Church, I was debating going into work for awhile but nixed that idea and decided a trip to Piedmont Park was definitely needed. For those of you that don't live in the Atlanta metro area and don't know anything about Piedmont Park you're in for a treat. It's basically a not so glorified Central Park in downtown ATL. Lots of dogs, frisbees, kickball and drum circles. It's the right deal, especially when Spring hits.

Rye Rye and me headed down there and met Chris and Mac. We threw the frisbee around for awhile and kicked el futbol for a tad. Then my buddy Jim called and he ended up being on the other side of the park so we met him and another dude Charlie for a few drinks at the local watering hole. An all around great day with great friends.

It's back on.....

After a couple month break I decided to get back on the blog thing....The last couple of months have been somewhat of a roller coaster ride of emotions for me. The lady friend and I decided to call things quits. It was an incredible two years but it just wasn't so. Tough stuff but it is definitely going to be better for the both of us. I've learned a lot about myself and about relationships over the past two years (especially the last couple of months). I've also learned the importance of leaning on God in those times down in the trenches.

So with that being said, I'm back to bloggin. It will be full of stories and simple (maybe profound) thoughts about what's happening. Plus it's a chance for my Mims to use her new computer more.

With that being said, enjoy....Let me know your thoughts when you read something cool or not cool.....
