....now wait just a minute

I woke up this morning, first last night. I was watching regular tv last night. Something I do much of, I download movies and tv shows, upload them to a flashdrive, pluf flashdrive into dvd player and watch thru my tv. But last night I watch 2 good shows, NCIS and Flinge. I was feeling okay during NCIS, but then my eyes starting itching me during Flinge. Woke up this morning. Stood up and sneezed, sharp pain in my chest. Its like I bruised a muscle or something. Hurts something crazy too. I was suppose to call Lanette last night too. Forgot all about it. I'm not use to receiving or making phone calls, not a phone person. I see the phone as a tool, something to use for work, not something to just talk on. But I really like Lanette, but of course, she doesn't feel the same way. I will make it a point to email her, and then text her, tell her I forgot. This is a test... Michael John Chappell Sent from my T-Mobile Sidekick®

ts been a while since my last entry. I don't know, just been very tired lately. I think its because of the long hours I've been working. Plus at work, very busy, don't get much of a break during my work day. So I struggle today, made a commitment , said I was going to post today and make it consistent too. My birthday came and went. No biggie though. Spent much of it just sleeping, told ya I was tired, right ? Next thing. Ok , there are 3 young ladies, make that 4, who are on my list. I'm not a dog, but they interest me, interest me a lot too. Its just that I can't find the time, so should I give up ? I'm not even thinking about what's on their menu. Meaning, do they feel the same way also. I can say that I don't care, but I do. A friend, co worker of mine is going through a little something. They told me that they are detaching themselves from people that they work with. They are young, and to me they seem to be making a big mistake. Me, I wouldn...

Woke up early this morning, my usual, 4:30am. I went up to Harlem, 125 th Street & Lexington Ave to see a friend. The last time I saw her, she had came to my house and stayed a couple of hours. She's sweet, kind and I like her a lot. We have a past together, but not like a past you may think. She's was involved with some one else at the time, but she isn't now. We are trying to work something out, but its hard, like a long distance relationship thing. Plus with other things going on in her life. Like I'm willing to wait them out with her, for her, but is she willing to do the same also. Mostly its the distance between us, me in Queens, and her in Harlem. But when we are together, its sweet and nice. I mentioned that I would come and see her once a week, that's me coming to her. When her schedule changes with what's she doing, and she is settled in, then her coming to me would be left up to her. I like how she said today, don't start nothing that you ca...

After 2 days, when the Tech said that it would be one, I have my laptop back. I wouldn't be so upset about this whole situation if it wasn't for being that I have had this NEW Notebook for only less than 2 months. I still say and will continue to say, that it wasn't nothing that I did. Because I didn't. The whole idea of being promised that it would be ready in one day and it wasn't pissed me off. I think he did it to just to get my business. I found out from the Tech the reason why it took so long, and plus I did some reading on it too, in a sense. XP home is the OS, but its a smaller version of the operating system. Since most companies that produce laptop and desktops, don't ship the OS with their systems, they only ship recovery disk. And mine came with neither. The Tech had to find the smaller OS to install, because the larger one, the one that's installed in desktops, for some strange reason wouldn't take on my netbook . Its okay now, and I have a...

I could just curse throughout this whole posting....but I'm not. I sould just be in a bad mood throughout the whole day...but I won't. I want to, but I can't. Here's what happened. First, I'm not running a spellcheck on this posting, its gonna be a raw dog posting. It might be that way for a while, but I hope not. Saturday afternoon is shut my Aspire One Netbook down, cause, I wasn't gonna be home that night, well for two nights. No problems, just shut it down. Came home Monday afternoon after work, and fired it up. A corrupt file wouldn't load the OS. Tried it 3 times, nothing happening. Since this Netbook doesn't have a cd drive, and I don't have a windows xp cd, I knew I was in trouble. Called the computer shop, and they were open til 8pm. They said 150 dollars to just wipe the hard drive clean, this is with not saving anything, no programs or files. I know what a wipe does, but for that amount of money, he could at leats try. It just easy to wipe...

I consider her a friend, though I can't mention her name, or place her picture here. She says she doesn't want to be on the Internet . Is it OK then for you to be in my heart. Have you ever met a person that you just want to look in their eyes all day long? Better yet, see those same eyes reflecting the fireplace fire in them. Oh yeah, they sparkle. Everything about her is all woman. I may come on too strong to her, but I'm not about BS, I tell it like it is, and she does too. Told me that we could never be a couple, get together because of three things. I smoke, I'm skinny and I have bad teeth. But that makes me me. She is entitled to her own opinion , and can say whatever she wants. I accept her as she is, no flaws. But if there were any, its only superficial to me. Its her heart that I want. She came to my counter yesterday, this was after she instant message me on yahoo. I had to wait until she got off from work to come. This was after I been at work for 3 hours ...

Right now, I mean at this present moment, I just got the SHIT scared out of me. I'm waiting for the 6:05am Westchester County Bus, 41, from White Plains, NY. Heading back home to Jamaica Queens. Standing in front of this building with my music playing on my headphones, and this guy comes barreling out of the building, scared me to death. Like I said, I'm heading back home. Just spent from Wednesday after now, til now with my ex girlfriend Lisa. We have know each other going on now for almost 12 years. Even though we broke up, we are still close friends, friends with benefits. She says she doesn't want to be my girlfriend, she wants to be my WIFE !! Whoa, that's a mouth full right ? I have no problem with that to tell you the truth. Its just, I don't have any money. I mean I do have money, enough for me to take care of me. But I don't have enough for two. She works and everything, and just last night she was talking about buying a condo. So she must have money fo...

Her name is Debbie, and her pictures are amazing !! The bad news is that she told me she is spoken for, oh well. I searched my friends list, and found her right away. Her pictures are great, but to see her in person, you wouldn't know what great shape she's in. Her work uniform hides it. We chatted, emailed, back a forth one another, then she dropped the bomb. On her Tagged profile though it does states that she is only there for friends. I told her that her man is very lucky to have her, she told me she knows. Question I have to ask though is this. If you are already involved in a relationship, why go to these websites looking for friends. The only possibility I could come to is that most people who are in relationships are looking for ONLY friends outside of what they have. But with me, and my thinking, something is strange there. Not with her personally, but with anyone who does this. Is it that you want to walk on the wild side, but only with certain people who you feel ...

I already told you that my position brings me in contact with the shopping public. I like my, no, I love my job. Its fun, but at times it can drive you crazy. When an attractive young lady, hell, a attractive female no matter what age she is. Wait, of legal age. An attractive female of legal age walks by me at the counter, there's a little voice that wants to speak to her. Just say hello, strike up any conversation with them. Most of the times I hold back, fear of the unknown. Which brings me to this... OK , we established that we are both on a social networking website. You remember me, or, you added me as your friend. I always thought you were attractive before you or I knew we were both on there. So where do we go from here? That's the question I'm asking myself now. I will get back to all of you on that one.

Being that this is my Friday, I'm off on Thursday, I am having a good day. Well not just good, gonna have a GREAT DAY !! It started off just right too. I'm at the store opening up the Deli, you know, adding to salads rotating the salads, adding decorations. I look up and this young woman who comes in the store often walks by. When she comes and walks by the counter, I always have this good feeling about her, a happy feeling. She's very attractive, in my eyes, nice. So she walks by right. After she walks by, I'm constantly thinking about her. I say to myself, if she walks by I'm going to ask her name. After about 15 minutes, I look up and there she is. I tell her that I was just thinking about her. She says why. I say cause I saw you when you walked by. She says, I want to ask you a question, are you on Tagged? I said yes, cause I am. She says you requested to add you as a friend, and I said to myself, that I know you from somewhere. Well, isn't that something. T...

Now I like a good laugh ever now and then. I was watching Sex Drive, its a funny ass movie. Towards the end, a certain scene had me crying with laughter. I mean I was really crying. They are all in the parking lot and the donut is told by the cops to put his hands up. He puts up on hand, and the officer says the other. The donut says I can't it doesn't move. A cop approaches the donut and sprays it with mace, but it backfires into his eyes. The other cops open fire and they shoot off the donuts raised arm. I never laughed so hard in my life. I needed that good laugh !!! Sent from my T-Mobile Sidekick®

...and I should be the one that talks, huh? You know how you get with some one, and you both come to an agreement about a matter at hand. At first, you seem sketchy about doing business with this person, but hey, you give them a chance, right ? Well its been 3 whole freakin days and this guy even said, ok , lets get together about this. I've seen him twice, and he didn't he say hello. Called, and it goes straight to voice mail. So what am I to do? All I can really do is wait and see what he will do in the next few days. I mean, on my end, everything is all lined up and ready to go. What I want to do is when he does approach me, is tell him, nevermind , but that's not me . And besides, I invested way too much on my end. I wish people could see things the way I do, and move with the quickness on matters. I found out that I need, want, got to have my own Internet access point. Meaning, I have to breakdown and pay for the service, instead of 'borrowing' from other p...

Ok , its about to get rough here, so now is your chance to back and not read any further. Ohm you're still there, read on then. Don't say I didn't warn you. Dear Customer...FUCK YOU !! Fuck you and the 3 wheeled roller skate you rode in on. Fuck you and you not knowing what the fuck you want when you come to my counter. FUCK YOU !! Fuck you when you cop an attitude when you order a sandwich . Its not my fault when all you say is, 'Give me a ham sandwich' how in the FUCK do I know you want lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese? Uh, ya stupid mother fuckin FUCK. I CAN'T READ YOUR FUCKIN MIND...asshole. Also. You shouldn't leave the house, come to the store, come to my counter, without knowing WHAT DA FUCK YA WANT !! So, when you think I'm a just a lil wee bit annoyed, NO !! I'm fucking pissed offed. Okay, you guys out there that come to my counter. We are supposed to be the smarter of the two genders, right ? Can't tell when you come to the counter gu...

For the longest I have been wanting to have a DVD camcorder. I want to be able to recorder straight to DVD , YouTube compatible, light, easy to carry around and not cheap looking. It doesn't even have to be brand new, refurbished is okay with me. JR, has one that I'm going to look into today. Canon DC330, they want 179 dollars for it. Soooo , I'm going down there after work, and take a long look at it. You sure to know, I will be asking quite a bit of questions about it too. On yeah, it has to take still photos also.

I have this habit, don't know if its good or bad though. I think it started when I joined the Army. I wake up at 4am or 4:30am. No matter what time I go to sleep, I wake up at that time. The cut off is 2am. If I'm not asleep by that time, its no use in me even trying. Don't know why this happens, but it works out for me. I don't need an alarm clock, but I do have one. The only reason why that is, is because all my time keeping is all in technology. You would figure that I would be very sleepy first thing in the morning, nope. I feel refreshed, wide awake. I wish I could sleep late like some people, but that's not happening for me. Sent from my T-Mobile Sidekick®

Unfortunately , I'm only able to list to Rush on 2 days, Thursday and Fridays. Today I heard something that he was saying that sparked my nerves. Its about the state of our economy. I feel very lucky, but then again, its not luck, to still be working. I have never found it hard to look for and find a job. I search, apply, go for interview and hope to be hired. Lately, things are tight within my field also. So pickings are slim if I was thinking to upgrade. What Rush was say, and I paraphrase here, that some woman was talking about her situation. I'm gonna use my example, cause its the same way I feel. To STILL have a job, or to be working for that matter, is a blessing. Some of my friends, whom are HAD high paying jobs, are all out of work now, and have been searching for the last 2 months, if not more. Its awkward to be around them when they were working, cause going out meant that I had to look at prices, what to wear, you know. I was the lowest paid person in the group, and...

Well our meeting went ok, too bad that I had to cut it short for the day. It was good seeing him, saw his mother too. I met up with another fried, Eric. I went to Eric's house first, I had to pick up some shirts from him, scroll up baby!! It was really good seeing T again. He looks good and has a good attitude. I tried to pinpoint how long its been since we last saw each other, but all he kept saying its been years. I wanted an exact date. Sent from my T-Mobile Sidekick®

Its been a while since I rode the Lexington Ave Express Uptown, even longer since I rode the 6 train to Parkchester . I'm going there to see a good friend Tony, T Gamble. I knew this guy and his 2 brothers since, well the early 60's growing up. The South Bronx, 859 Home Street, and 1322 Prospect Ave. If you don't know about that area, ya better ask somebody. There are 3 Gamble brothers, Tony being the youngest. There's Terry, who is my age, and Poo is the other middle brother. His nickname is Poo, but when we were younger it was Winni, get it. But Tony is my man. We went through some good times together in the early 80's when I came home from the Army. Then the late 80's, that era we all know, we went through some strange and hard times. Back then some made it, with bruises, and some didn't make it at all. Truth be told, today and every so often, I see people from back then. They still are stuck in that time and place, doing the same old thing. When I see th...

Let me be the first to say, I don't mind people having a good time, I'm all for it. But, you should take into consideration if others around you choose not to part take in your activities. One of the drawbacks of not having your own place is living in the conditions, surroundings with others. Sometimes you will and can find that special chemistry, and everything works out. Sometimes, and its not often, things go bad, then good, the bad again. Its a cycle. Some can deal with it, and others can't. I can handle it, but last night, no early this morning, I had my doubts. So if your roommates have guest over, and these guest are cute young, ( 19 - 22 y.o. ), you would figure it couldn't get any better than this. So you go to sleep counting your blessing, I have a room full of cute young ladies right next door I say to myself as I go to sleep. About 1am I'm woken up. Not by one of them standing over me, but by male voices. Right off, I'm pissed off. Now this is strang...

Since I only get one day off, I can't wait til my Friday comes around. My Friday is Wednesday. The good thing is that I don't have to be back to work until Friday at 3pm. I'm closing the deli, so its from 3pm to 10pm. Its almost like having two days off really. I'm gonna make it a habit to watch the movies I downloaded on Wednesday after I get off from work. I have about 35 movies stored on an external hard drive. You think I care that I'm doing something that some of y'all think is illegal, ya think I care ? I transfer the movies to a 16GB flash drive. I plug the flash drive into a portable DVD player. Yes, Coby has a portable DVD player that has a usb port, plus it takes a media card also. Since my TV doesn't have RCA jacks, I bought a modulator from Radio Shack, cause I had questions and they had the answer, I plug... well I got my DVD player playing for my TV, enough said. Just finish watching Taken. This movie is great !! Sad story, but it had me laug...

I'm trying to figure out people, this is an ongoing, day to day, minute to minute process . Why do I bother? I REALLY need some type of hobby. I know to some people I may be and act strange also. The difference with me is that I will call you on your strangeness. Call me on mine. To me, I like to have fun, no matter what I am doing. Work !! I have always have fun at work, but not all the time. It happens throughout the day. The people I wait on, allow the fun part of me to come out. Someone should invent a spray that does this to people, I think, no I know the world would be a whole lot different. Another thing, and I try to make this a priority everyday, is that I try to be consistent . Its hard at times, but I do try.
