The Adventures of the NSP

Well Friendsters, Myspacers, all my Asian fans……its been way too long since I’ve done a proper blog. I meant to ages ago & then somehow I found myself going through all kinds of shenanigans & such. I guess I can start with the worst first. Picture it early April, 2007….a crowded club….a beautiful semi-young man is hanging out with his peeps & drinking having a good time. All is good until he feels a pop go in his shoulder. He had felt this feeling way too many times but it had been 2 full years since he’s had any problem with his shoulder. He had done exercises, worked out with trainers & learned how to make his shoulder better. But in one snap while with his fellow crackers his shoulder decided to pop out! Boys & girls that man was me and let me tell you it hurt like a bitch! So off to the hospital we go to get it popped back in. Jordan was with me & he really was wonderful. I was balling & in all kinds of pain & seriously I thought I was dying. Ok so maybe I was being a tad dramatic but tell me how you hold up when your shit is all dislocated. If I had recorded a tape for Days of Our Lives I’m SURE I would’ve been hired for a role on it. Once they gave me a perkaset & apparently a bit of morphine I was doing a little better. Now this is when things get extra fuzzy. I do remember telling people over & over to Raise Up! I also remember another patient saying shut up & then hearing him sounding like he was in pain. I immedietely new he was dying so I was sad for him. But lets not let that get me down. In this drama I somehow remembered to have Jordan call into my work & leave messages for certain people that I would be out. I also had him call in a temp to fill in for me. Now that IS dedication! While this went on I do remember making besties with the nurse & I asked her, “Do you have love for my shoulder?!” Looking back I’m sure she was not amused & probably was thinking ‘U crazy cracka!’ Now what I don’t remember is flirting with the doctor & telling him I liked his tattoo’s. I also don’t remember them telling me to get my mind off my shoulder by singing my favorite song. So what do I sing? Vogue ofcourse. Interns were apparently voguing with me. Only I have no memory of this. I just remember it magically being in & feeling slightly sore.

So for a bit my typing ability was totally screwed up and walking around in an immobilizer is a total pain in the ass. Being the independent mofo that I am, I think I hated this the most. But Jordan was being a total sweety & cooking plenty of meals & getting me things I needed. I also gained back the 5 lbs that I lost. It was during this time I went through a mini crisis. I hate jsut sitting around & not being able to be active kills me. When most people like to be waited on hand & foot, I actually don’t care for it. One day is nice but then that independent man in me screams out like the loud Leo that I am. While all this was going on, I watched so many things on t.v. & so many movies it was unreal. I tell ya, its one thing to be at work & be like ‘Oh I wish I was at home watching t.v.’ but its quite the other for that to be the only thing you can do. So I watched the maraton of Flavor of Love episodes (Flava Flav!!!) & I probably lost more brain cells then I ever did doing drugs. But it was still good stuff & now I find myself all enraptured into Charm School. I also found myself caring about American Idol way much more than I ever should. But seriously, thank goodness Sanjaya is off. He should have never been in the top 12 bless his un-talented little heart. I mean he’s not the worst person to ever be on Idol but fo real this just ain’t his thang. Many episodes ago when that little girl was crying I was laughing my ass off because thats exactly how I was feeling. I blame Paula, Randy & Simon for putting him in the Top 12 bc they WERE the ones to cut the 24 down to 12. So when they talk so much smack on him someone should admit blame. For me its all about my girl M Doolittle. Everytime she gets up there she tells a story & sings her ass off. Initially I was into the whole shyness & her surprised look she gets but at this point in the game its like Girl get up & do ur thang & don’t be afraid! Flava Flav!!! Ok sorry…. that girl Jordin is really good, especially being that shes so young. Blake is good but I don’t live for him. That kid Chris is cute but Justin already brought sexy back & this kid just seems like a complete knockoff. Ok so clearly I’ve been getting way too much into this. I hate myself for it believe me I do.

So now let me get to work. Its been crazy. My co-worker Jen has decided to leave NYC & move to San Fran & her last day is tomorrow. So I’ve been being prepped to do all the work that she has been doing. The thing that I’m most excited about is that my hours are going back to what i originally had. Which means I can go back to dance classes & such. I found out all this information a few hours before I dislocated my shoulder so I really was like God! C’mon this is not funny! But I have to say my recovery has been amazingly swift. All the times before I was in pain for a lot longer. I have been able to go back to the gym but its only doing cardio. Don’t worry, I’m not gonna get all buckwild with weights & such. So I think I’ve deicided if I can’t bulk up then I’ll just try to be a skinny bitch. We’ll see, just everyone do mad prayers for my shoulder. What I know I am doing prayers for is the families of all that happenned in Virginia. It really is incredibly sad & I can’t believe that someone would have no regard for human life like that. I’m not really sure what else to say about that but ’stay strong’.

Looking back over this I realize I am all over the place but I think thats just what kind of energy I’ve been having. But it just feels like maybe things will start to go the way I want them too in 2007. A lot has gone down & most likely a lot more will go down before I know it. So here’s when I kick to the words of my girl Fergie Ferg for some inspiration. I’ll brush off that I’ve been calling myself Nickalicious for yrs now but whatevs………get ready cause Here I Come
