What do you do when you feel like everything has been said & just maybe you have nothing left to say? Some fill up space to take up time. Some wait for what will be the brand new hotness. In my case, I stay momentarily silent. For me… if I say I don’t have an opinion about something, then that most likely means I wanna shout it out to the world. But by trying to keep the peace I’ll stay quiet. My friend Tom called me out on this the other day by asking what I thought about something. I said(non-shalantly), "No opinon dot dot dot." He said, "Bitch, you have an opinion about everything. Even the computer in front of your face." Funnily enough I had been sitting there earlier at my temp job thinking, "Hmmm…this computer sucks…why haven’t they updated blah blah blah." It’s one of those things that my true frineds always know about me. That my face always shows exactly what I’m thinking. Its gotten me in trouble in more ways than one. "Nick, how’s my haircut? Do you not like that food I just made? Do you like so & so?" Just to name a few.
But whatevs right? You go one through life trying to do your everyday tasks & get some enjoyment from whatever gets you enjoyment. It was Sheryl Crow that sang If It Makes You Happy right? It’s been quite a while since I’ve blogged but definitely know there has been things on my mind. The rest of March went by in a blur. I swear I know too many people born during this month & helping celebrate each & everyone almost made me become a full time alcoholic. Just kidding but not really. There’s def been some doozies with places that I’ve been sent to work. Many of the places I was not able to have internet accesss so my ability to get back in touch with all of you has been lagging. The life of Nick the temp has been crazy in the sense of being sent everywhere from Hess(Oil company) to uptight Investment Banker Firms to a few cool places every now & then. I also got back to doing some production assistant work that I was doing before(miss ya Kelly). Now one story that I’ve decided to share comes from when I was at BET. Thats right children, I finally made it. I got to see a crap load of old Wayan Bros. Shows which I didn’t realize could be funny & I started to really get into my girl Lil’ Kim’s Countdown to Lockdown. Quick note: Yes, if my videographer guy didn’t keep the shots of me that looked hot in my video I’d go off on him too! Kim miss ur crazy ass, Ima hold ya down baby! What was amusing was actually getting to see some music videos. Some music thats out is really good & then some is just some random ass people thinking they’re playas & having hoochies dance in thier videos. Now I know its been this way for a long time in hip hop but I do miss Hip-Hop from back in the day. The shit thats making Top 10 & selling crazy these days I’m left saying huh? But then again maybe I’m getting old…..dammit! But what was funny was when me being the ‘white boy’ at the front grooving to music & then someone coming over being like, "aww lemme find out you like this music!" As a dancer & singer, yes I like music that I can shake my ass too. I will admit I’ve always wanted to be the white boy singing the chorus in a rap song. Hey if Justin can then I know I can. But what I wanna get to is while there on the first day I was checking my email & then going to Myspace & Friendster. Ya know, my daily activities. And as you know people can post comments on your page & these comments can have pictures & what not. Well I had gotten this one comment of this guy from Russia all bent over saying ‘thanx for the add’ plastered on his ass. I was like Oh mY!! But seriously I’ve seen much much worse on here. It is myspace afterall. Well later I go to lunch & come back & the lady who’s signed onto the computer has a breakdown bc she went to the comp history & considers what I was looking at porn. I was soooo embarrassed. I was like, "Oh no! How can this happen to me, I’m such a nice person!" She was like I don’t want my log in credits to be used to look at such things. All day after that I was like, "well now, everyone is gonna keep looking at the lil gay cracka sitting at the front thinking he’s addicted to porn!" Needless to say, luckily they asked me back but on my last day the lady decided to give me information about how porn is bad(mmmkay?) & that I need to devote my life as a Jehovah’s Witness. As she gave me this I just know my face was saying ‘LORD HAVE MERCY!’ Myspace seems to be all in the news these days with perverted old men trying to lure young girls & then raping them. I also read a story about how a few guys were kicked out of their schools bc the school found out they were gay bc of their profiles. Mind you these were Christian schools. First hearing this I was outraged but the more I see profiles on here with dirty videos & the requests from minors asking if I’ll show my dick I can’t help but think….things that make you go hmmm….. Its different world folks then where you come from, lets not forget that. Side note: I used to love that show when I was much younger.
From facial expressions to porn addicitons lets now go to the news. Thanks Marcy! I’ve actually been reading a lot these days(shocking!) but it seems to be all from the newspapers & world events & wikipedia(don’t hate, wikipedia is some good stuff). The goings on of the world continue to baffle me. I can’t believe my 20’s is gonna be considered the Bush years. Considering I like to keep it nice & trim who woulda thought huh? Also I’ve been noticing a lot of talks about Jesus coming up recently. The finding of these ancient Scriptures thats supose to be the Gospel according to Judas I’ve found to be quite interesting. I’ve not been to church in quite some time but still consider myself to be a spiritual person. I can’t help but think we are gonna end up somewhere & that maybe just maybe bc we have done a few bad things will not be sent to a place called Hell. Last night I celebrated my first Passover dinner with my Jewish bf Jordan & my bff Tom. It was quite interesting to learn all about it considering that I didn’t really know that much about it. In the end it made me wanna watch The Prince Of Egypt. Turns out I knew more of the story than I realized. So happy Passover to all of you in the Jewish faith & Happy Easter to all like me. I may not go to a church to pray but I def believe that God can hear me anywhere I am. But don’t worry, this is not about to turn into ‘Are you there God? Its me Nick.’
But whatevs, people tend to like my blogs that consist of fun & good times & shenanigans & the stories of me dancing on a box being scandalous. So maybe I should keep it at that. I do know that I plan to start including more song lyrics bc I’ve been having a lot of conversations with people bothered about thier love lifes & lemme tell ya I’ve written some excellent ones on those. Its just that right now I’ve had a lot of time to think & read about everything going on the world. It can make you almost wanna just say enough! Skip to the good times. Being a newscaster must be hard bc you literally go through 12 emotions a minute just to describe whats going on in the world. With the war, the resurgence of all things 9-11, to everything else in the world no wonder we turn to something else bc you don’t wanna think about anything else. BC honestly news doesn’t seem to change much. It always seems to be somebody doing somebody wrong. Its like a 12 inch mix of a country song. No wonder history seems to repeat itself. Hmmm, I think I’ll download an old Robert Palmer song & change the words to ‘you’re gonna have to face it, you’re addicted to porn!’
insert silly nick face here
Back to you Marcy.
