i ordered my apple cinnamon tea as usual this morning, and the quote attached to the little string was ...
"All love that has not friendship for its base is like a mansion built upon the sand." Ella Wheeler Wilcox
this leads to a lesson i have recently learned about myself. i had been looking like everyone else to find love. following my friends leads on to sites to meet people thinking that i could meet someone online and it lead to something lasting and real. and i realized thats not what these sites were for. and where may have worked well for my highly sexual, and experienced friends, it is not for me. these people want hook ups either for sexual alleviation or to temporarily fill some void. i am not looking for either of these. i find that knowing someone first is so much better. it diminishes many of the insecurities that come along with meeting someone with the intention of more than just friendship. its just much more comforting and just smarter in general. i am the kind of person this quote refers to.
this weekend was a sick weekend. friday night i caught whatever it was that all of my friends had been battling with all week. i caught a fever, sore throat, stuffy nose, headache... it was just bad. i stayed at robbie and quinton's house with dre and courtney and we chilled and watched movies. of course the 2 party animals courtney, and quinton went out but the rest of us stayed and chilled. saturday i slept on and off until almost 6! and if you know me 6 o'clock is ridiculously late! but i was sick so whatev i guess. i got up and went home and did the same there. sunday morning i was feeling better and i got up and cleaned the bathroom with the intention of cleaning the rest of the house... it never happened lol. dre and i got up and got cute and met ivan for dinner at The Pink Tea Cup, a little soul food place in the village. we spoke over our fried chicken and collard greens. soul food takes me back home to Virginia and makes me feel calm in the midst of all the craziness in Manhattan. sitting with andre and ivan was really relaxing. andre with his southern ways, and ivan just so layed back and engaging. they make me calm and were the perfect mix for a a sunday night dinner. another great thing about this restaraunt is the juke box. it has every kind of music you can imagine, and what it doesn't have i think you can pay a little extra and download the song to the juke box! its amazing! after that we went to robbiy and quinton's house again to chill since we had already missed the britney spears performance on the VMA's. (luckily Ivan recorded it so we are going to go to his house sometime this week to watch). we just chilled there for a while, talked about the norm and laughed like always. now its monday morning and and i sit here at work drinking my apple cinnamon tea (that i am now finishing and realized that i sweetened just a little too much), listening to light jazz, recovering from my cold, looking out the window at wall street, feeling oddly content in this moment. i think this blog is definitely a good thing for me. it helps me put all of these whirling, introspective, thoughts into some sort of order:)

ok so first...im mad you said my blog makes you want to be nicer to me lol you should be nicer to me anyway jeremy! two, your blog really hurts my eyes now, the whole white on black makes my eyes hurt, in case you decide to change the colors. this blog was cute, i was sick this weekend too, glad you're feeling better. i like that little quote too, gonna have to write that down. i think all relationships should be started out as friends, any other way is just asking for a disappointment. you know what they say, love is friendship caught on fire. have you made any other "moves" towards ivan yet? and dont hold your breath on britney spears performance...i dont want to tell you it was bad and then you watch it already knowing it was bad, so i'll just say it was decent. what else...im trying to give a thorough response seeing as though i am up at 11am, not happy about that. im happy your oddly content, as i look at this computer screen i am extremely tired and on closing apple cinnamon tea reminds me of frolicing in the snow :)
