I LOVE THIS ANIMATION!!!!

Often times we – human beings – get so high and mighty. There are still so many people who believe and will never venture to think otherwise, that we are the only intelligent “higher” species in the entire Universe. But how can that be when Earth itself are so minuscule in comparison to so many different known stars and planets?

Take a look at this animation. I don’t know who made it, but it is truly awesome.

So like I said last time, we moved to North Carolina. So far it’s been pretty good. Like I really have no complaints…. a few gripes but nothing is perfect sooo….

The things I like about Durham:

1. It is so beautiful… the air is clean and fresh and I’m seeing trees that weren’t planted 10 feet apart by the city
2. It’s QUIET… the loudest thing at night is crickets outside the window… and that’s something I remember from my childhood in Barbados so I LOVE IT!
3. The people are so much nicer! New Yorkers can be such snotty shits… it’s nice to run into people who smile and say hello, for a change
4. Everything AND I MEAN EVERYTHING is cheaper
5. We’re on charge. ’nuff said.

Things I don’t LOVE but don’t hate about Durham:

1. Actually this list is just one thing: you gotta drive EVERYWHERE. Only reason this made the list is because I still don’t have my license. But my brother has been letting me drive around to get comfortable because I already had my NYC permit. I’ll be getting my NC License shortly… I would have already had the permit if I didn’t forget my passport in BK like a dumbass LOL…

Things about Durham that don’t belong on the first 2 lists:

1. I live right by RTP. Contrary to what alot of people tried to sell me about Durham before I moved? There are A TON of jobs available down here, I shit you not. The thing is: lots of them require at least an Undergrad degree… so much for the whole “country bumpkin” notion huh… Anyway, in RTP there are dozens of bio-pharmaceutical, engineering, robotics and other scientific niche – type of companies. So what I’m seeing is that before I can make the big BIG money,  I will have to finish my degree. That sucks. But only because getting in school down here will run about $70,000. And I don’t have that kinda money! If I did, I woulda bought my damn house already, started my company already, and been ballin outta control…. ALREADY!!!

Anyway… me and Kyle have been getting along great. We’ve both been on the job hunt and getting responses so thus far it looks like this was a good call. Obviously we miss home but I think this was a good opportunity for us both to grow together, and we intend to make the absolute best of it.

Peace & Blessings.

I’m gonna miss him. & I feel bad for people who have no respect for the dead. It’s amazing to me. WHAT IF it was your brother? Your son? Your father? Who died so suddenly and all people wanna do is make jokes? WHAT IF IT WAS YOU? Who was TRIED AND ACQUITTED for something as heineous as Pedophilia – or anything for that matter - how would you feel if people never let it go and still branded you as a bad person? No one wants to examine shit from that perspective. They just like to point the finger and laugh… hypocrites.

REST IN PEACE TO MICHAEL JACKSON

Way back, maybe 4 or even 5 years ago when I was still in college, there was a guy that I liked. We never became a couple, but we did hook up a few times. He moved away and that was that.
