Another Classic Work Story....(TRUE STORY)

Before reading, let me explain briefly what this is and set it up. A few years ago I worked as an auditor at a small hotel in Marietta,Ga where the conditions were slum-like, but the break fast was good....I worked with 4 people who spoke English, and had customers from ever corner and hood in Atlanta. It was interesting and I promised myself I'd never do it again.....enjoy

I'm at work and its around 3:15am,....
Phone Rings...
Lady: Hello, is Lionel X there?
Me:Hold on, let me look in the system
Me: Uh, one second......click (me sending her to that room)

Meanwhile I'm busy looking for things to improve my car's look...and I get interrupted again Riinnnggggg!!!!!

Me: This is Torrin speaking, how may I help you?
Lady: No one answered, can you try it again
Me: Okay

At this point I'm still clueless...Riiiiiiinnnnngggg!!!!!!

Me: Dammit, son of a....Hi, this is Torrin speaking, how may I help you?
Lady: Are you sure that's Lionel X, its sounded like an African man
Me: Okay, but that's the only Lionel X we have in the computers for tonight...
Lady: Can you look him up by a number?
Me: Sure!
Lady....is it 678 XXX-XXXX..
Me: Yup sure is.
Lady: Okay, put me through again
Me: Okay......

Oh shit...ummm

3:30am....I'm standing at the front desk finishing a check-in. Lionel X comes downstairs and to the front desk

LX: Man don't give anyone my information
Me: What!....What room are you in?
LX:221
Me: (Looking in the guest log)...um...no you aren't!
LX: um 227 then
Me: Look, I don't screen calls....Someone call for a person Mr or Mrs X, I'm going to send it to that extension. I don't ask who's callin, this ain't my house
LX: Its cool, I understand

By this point I feel sorry for dude, cuz he already came in the door earlier looking all sad like someone one shot his dog, Lassie

Me: Look, next time you check in, and I'm here, let me know if you don't want anyone callin your room....I'll just tell them you aren't a guest here
LX: Okay, I got you...thanks

Moral of the story is....dudes don't screw up like this...if you are going to cheat (not that I am PRO cheating)...do it right. Don't go to a hotel you and your girl stayed at, don't go to one in the area, hell don't go to a hotel..if the chick you messing with don't have an apartment or house, 9 of 10 you just don't need to be doing all that....Hilarious!, I'm going to enjoy this Night Audit stuff.
Stay tuned!!!!!!!!

Empty Hands....That is NOT the business

To me, an interesting topic about how people aren't being responsible for their actions. Men and women run out of relationships at times screaming my favorite phrase, "Whoa is me". All the time we do this, but the one thing we forget at times is our contribution to that break-up or problem.

*****Now don't front and always seem like it was one-sided, because not every situation is like that...*****

It takes a real individual to come out and admit to wrong doing.....And believe there is wrong doing on many levels

In a previous blog, I discussed women who put themselves in the on-going cycle of jerks....***buzzer***, its your fault, you're dealing w/ jerks. Change your environment or accept the fact that you like assholes. You just don't like the way the last asshole treated you.

Cheaters: There was something I heard some years ago that went out to women from other women as a bit of advice...."If you're not f**kin' your man, someone else will be"....now people may not like this but, you know i don't care, because its the truth....on a serious note though, how do you avoid this?.....WELL.....

1. don't give it up, so damn easily or quickly because assholes show their colors shortly after the first attempt. This way you won't have to worry being the other woman or dealing with whoever she may be.

2. Lets say you are in a relationship where you are active...think about it...that's where that quote is applied for the most part.....Screw your dude, because he will venture off like a lost toddler at the first thing sparkling. Don't just randomly go on strike for 8wk if nothings wrong and you have no valid excuses, its not fair.

She don't love me anymore: Where in the hell did the romance go???? did you drop it on the way in...did someone jack you?...have you ever possessed it?...I mean that's the main reason people fall out of love in my opinion. Homie, you probably DON'T do the things you did in the beginning.

Face it, either step your game up or "Mr. Right Now" will.

We don't talk like we use to:....come on, either they are messing w/ someone else or may have some things going on with them that is pretty personal.....to solve this is pretty easy, ASK!, INQUIRE!.....if you don't, your mind wanders...not good to let it off the leash, ya know

.....My main objective is to get people to understand that you play even the smallest roles in the ending of your relationships, flings, or marriages. Be aware of the things that may happen if you drop the ball or break any of these rules....

IT'S THE TRUTH FOLKS, EMBRACE IT!

The Anthem....

A is for Adamsville
B is for Bowenhome
C if I give a fuck if you like me you know I don't
If she ain't got a good head on her leave that ho alone
If she do got some good head on her let her sing a song
D is for what I serve, I don't be on no curb
She ain't no junkie neither, I ain't no dope dealer
But she keep comin back 3-stacks, must be some crack
Put that pipe in her lap, she ain't know how to act
Now that I've got your undivided attention I'm gonna say this and run under condition one
Promise me you gon' stack, promise me you gon' ball
Promise me you'll invest three fourths of it all
For what? So your kids, kids, kids can have some cheese
Can't get with it? Get get get get get on your knees
Cause wealth is the word
Rich is round the corner from the curb
Don't like what I write? Shoot me a bird

Day to day thoughts when the lines are divided.....

The Infamous "Friend Zone".....

Thinking about this after reading someones note, I wanted to touch on it briefly..you know, feel it up a little bit. I was once asked a series of questions about the "zone". Things like, what is it?...how do you get thrown into it?...if in, can you get out?....I only have my theory, but would love to know more about it cuz it's probably the one thing that baffles me after the G-spot (THAT is some interesting shit)

So here goes my theory to each of those questions...........

What is it: The "zone" is a place where no one really wants to be....its the mime bubble!....you're trying to escape, but your ass can't move outside of the force field thats been given to you. If you have an interest in someone and you've clearly been thrown in there,...most should just throw that one up as a loss.....its like jail...a few may get out, but unless you are a real good fugitive....you're going back, homie

How to get there: I have no clue...I'd like to say being too nice of a person and not allowing the asshole in you to come out at times. I don't know (btw that wasn't a real answer).....I'm sure there are tons of ways. One I'm pretty sure of is always lending that shoulder to cry....who knows...

Getting out:.....To be honest...just let it go!....on the real, I think escaping is more difficult than trying to figure out what the hell it is...Just to think if an individual finds the sack to tell someone how they feel and realize they are in that "zone"...how do they continue with the task of getting that across??? Another IDK.......

Personally I'm pretty sure I've been thrown in the "zone"....Can I say with who?...I've thought about it for a brief second, then realized I'm a magician and I can escape the impossible if need be.....Putting people in it is awesome though, cuz you can pretend to be an absolute idiot when they show feelings, like "huh, you like me?...chick, stop playing...whatever...you only saying that cuz I'm drunk"....nah it doesn't happen often, but has......I'd like to know more thoughts on these questions about the "zone"

Woe the F is Me!

After reading a few status on "THE BOOK" aka "FB", I started to wonder why there is so much male bashing going on. I read them and see more females day to day saying "dudes are a bunch of B$#%ches and are so moody...yada yada yada". Is that a reach out and hold me kinda statement?....does that mean I am suppose entertain those types of comments?.....your girls might, but dudes just kinda look and stare.....I don't know if that's really the route females want to start taking when it comes to "male bashing". Because if "Mr. Right/Right Now" reads that, he's gonna step back into the shadows and figure what the problem REALLY is.

When discussing something like this before, it was supposedly understood that both men and women have their ways. We all have moments where, during the month, week, and day we aren't really feeling it. You'd think that folks understood that and embraced it (but we don't).

Now I'm not saying all of this just because I'm a man....I honestly don't see nearly as much female bashing than I do about males. Occasionally, you'll get a guy or two to get on facebook and pour their hearts out because he just spent his entire check on some girl and she screwed his friend...so they get on here and say they women are this and that....whatever (move on)...

Ladies, coming from a guy....move the hell on.....w/ the "power" that women possess, you wouldn't think male bashing would exist. Seriously, try breaking the cycle. I see status that are damn near cry outs for a hug, some love or sometimes just a good conversation, but its like the same thing keeps happening over and over and over and over and over....

Evaluate yourself for a moment and think "what am I doing wrong?"...not in the sense that you are a bad person, but in the sense "who the hell am i affiliating myself with?"..."do these people resemble in personality?"...."is he really good for me or is IT so good that it don't matter?" No one is asking you to change YOU, or change who you are, but you may have to tweak it out a little bit in the future.....Most of all, change the people you deal with

Do you mean it?...I hope you do!

When a person says "I'm done", do you think they mean it all the time. Personally I think its a front to get you to run after them. People if you use the words "I'm done".....mean it. Do what it takes to be done and actually stop communicatingwith them.

**Random**--->I know people who read these things will somehow find a way to believe its about me, but not every blog is from personal experience. Although they are my opinions, it doesn't mean I've been through or I am going through them...now back to the show

Seriously....lets stop frontin' and just say what we mean. There's a ton of people out there we haven't me and we are so afraid to step away from what we think we know that we just say anything....you decide to be mad and say "oh I'm done with you"...if that was me on the other end...I'd say, "Get the F'....kick rocks....deuces!!!"....whichever fits the script at the time.

I just want people to start being real w/ themselves and the other party, its healthy for you and for your future relations..it'll keep you out of a lot unnecessary arguments.

Although there's no true way of avoiding a confrontation, I like the drama-free lifestyle...if ever i see it getting out of hand....***POOF*** David Copperfield, I'm outtie

Sweet As She Wanna Be...mmmmmm

Lets talk about the creepy old fella with the limitless compliments. Lady's how does that feel when dudes like twice your age and "hitting" on you as if that's the new hottness. Today I heard a guy creep me out and he was talking to a female at the time...I mean, I kinda felt violated, almost like I shouldn't have been there

Female: Hey I have ants in here

Guy: I don't know what to tell you, ants like sweet stuff...

Me: **thinking maybe I should go now***

Female: Yeah so can you come and spray again?

Guy: well you know bugs like sweet things, they like sweet women too

Female:.......well okaaaay.

Me ***thinking okay, that was my sign to leave***

Dear Mr Creepy Fella

I don't know how many PYT's you get on a weekly basis, but I'm pretty sure this one is interested in you as much as a hooker is interested in church every Sunday. I mean damn dude, it felt kinda awkward standing there listening to that.

signing out,

Young Not So Creepy Fella

And the adventures begin......

Not that this is anyone's fault but my own.....I'm sitting here eating and listening to the Tyra Banks show and w/ my luck, I get the "PERIOD" show. I'm not afraid of the conversation, but not while I'm eating....I can't stop though, I'm hungry.

wait, this Dr, just said something about oral sex as an alternative when she's on her period....

No thank you.... I'll wait

Next topic, the awful "Granny-panties"...oh those things are horrible. Its like you just want to cut off all communication when they come out. This chick just pulled out an adult diaper....officially turned off.

This is officially too much for me..the conversation is now on pads......and Im out...If only there was an NFL game on right now, I could forget all about this nightmare

Mom on Dating

So I talked to my mom one night about some random stuff and somehow we got on the conversation of Relationships

Well somehow she made it all about me.....

Me: So, mom when you saw that girl I dated in the mall what was said?...I mean how did the convo go?

Mom: We we didn't really recognize each other at first but then we did this movie turn, like we did.

Me: Yeah thats funny, so what was said

Mom: She spoke and asked you where you were

Me: Why?...I hope you didn't say anything

Mom: No, Boy I wouldn't say anything

Me: Good, cuz she needs to know the same thing she knew when we broke up...Hey did you know she sent me this soby email last week tell me about you seeing her in the mall

Mom: No I didn't know

Me: Yeah Well she said that i would never speak to her again basically and a bunch of other stuff, but then again, If I did see her on the streets I'd have to pass her up

Mom: Thats not nice, dont' be like that to people

Me: Are you serious? Okay so if I saw "the first one" would you want me to keep walking or stop and speak

Mom: Keep it a Walkin...you don't have anything to say to her.

That was the funny part of our conversation about relationships and her knowing a little about one of my ex's that I didn't think anyone else knew. I started to tell her about some other stuff and what does she do?.....GO BACK TO, "Hey, have you talked to "my daughter in law" lately....NO MA....Okay so have you talked to "the other daughter in law" then?

My mom sometimes will not accept the present for some reason. Mom is funny though when it comes to her opinions on the females that have been in my life that she's met. Can't wait to talk to her again

Past Blog

Inspiration for being single!!!!!! Today...a young woman was murdered by her ex-boyfriend in a Louisiana Mall. It hurts my heart to hear this from one of my friends who was working at that time in the mall. About 2yrs ago, I experienced the same with a close friend of mine. The only difference is, no one was around when it happened. I have been through my fair share of arguements and public disturbances with someone, but the thought of killing them would never cross my mind. Why?...No one will ever know the details of it, because no one lived to be able to tell. This tradgedy, Im sure will not be the last, but hopefully this Blog will help some young ladies think about what they've gotten themselves into. Not to hound on the ladies, but sometimes you want these tough "hard-ass" guys who talk a good game but treat you like crap. You sometimes stay with them because the thought of moving on and starting over doesn't want to exsist in your heads. I am not saying this is everyone, but I know its a lot. I know females like this and females who have friends like this. So all in all ladies, think about who you bond with, because sometimes when you think you know them....YOU REALLY DON'T No break for the fellas. I know not to many guys read my blogs for whatever reasons, but dude step it up. For us honest, real men out here, we have to step up the game and stop BS'n around. That's all that needs to be said on that note. I don't preach to guys, cuz for most of us, it will go through one ear and come out the other. As far as I go with relationships.....I wouldn't mind having something good. Hell its been a while, but I will surely pass up something that i know isn't good for me or the next person. When events like this happend.....I just kinda sit back and reflect.....It helps

HERE WE GO AGAIN

Repost From: September 26, 2006

I'm going to make this blog really short and to the point.

I am enjoying the fact that everyone has jumped on the Saint's band wagon since they are 3-0....
I talk shit about them because, I'm not a Saint's fan...HOME TEAM OR NOT...I never really enjoyed watching them play. It was always like rolling dice and you could see that "snake-eyes" would come up. Just last year and the year before, it was all about how the Saints suck and how they need a new this and a new that....no Go Saints, we know you guys are losing but we still support you. I've never seen so many people wear N.O. Jerseys.....If I still have the tolerance for myspace by next year, I'll see if the Saints will be everyone's favorite team.
I'm sure thoughts and comments will raise eyebrows and comments about they had to go through a lot will surface, but my focus isn't the team its the "FANS" who call themselves fans, but are just a bunch of wagon hoppers......
I have my opinions, they are valid and I'm sticking to them.....PS if you know I'm not talking to you or about you....dont waste your time.

New Post: September 20, 2009

Here we go again....your Who Dat boys are 3-0 again....Im so not impressed by the victories....Not because I don't like the team anymore, because I've come to respect them as a team....As for some of the fans. I have only one thing to say: "Know you place on the food chain". This week they play the Jets.

Oh this is a classic...

Tooooo many people missed this blog I wrote back during 2007

I don't write these blogs for pure humor, but then again, maybe I do...this shit's hilarious!!!!!

Life is a journey...with straight aways and unexpected curves, like bladder weakness.....Tena Serinity "Male Guards", protect yourself, guys

Okay, a friend showed me this commercial and the look on my face was unexplainable. I know bladder weakness is nothing to play with (for 1yr olds or 80yr olds), so I can't talk too bad about it, but don't have some tough guy riding motorcycle on his way to wherever like this shit is the new hottness.

So basically you are letting me know its okay to piss on myself and i can keep on riding. Hell I might have to pick up some of these on the way to N.O. that way I don't have to make any stops since its so damn cool.....you think I'm joking...check out the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwTSvpzUrq8

Throwback

April 30 2004 ....WOW, 8yrs ago...i had to say i was just an open book

Im gonna love be home....I make 21 and Im going to be a party animal....I swear im going the stripclub when i hit 21.....well at least i'll be going legally.

Im sure the summer journals will be just as exciting as the semester....POOF-BE-GONE

The reason being single is easy......IM A JERK!!!!!!

I'm having a conversation via text while on the phone with my sibling and something strikes me as to why I shouldn't have sent that text message in the first place. To give a little about what happened in the short story, I'll start from the middle of the week.

So I'm recovering from a minor cold, like most people this year when the weather changes. You never think you'll get it until the weather officially changes, but of course that depends the environment.

Fast Forward....Today

As I'm trying to catch up and see how this person has been, I mention that I am trying to get better from some sneezing and coughing that's been going on since Wednesday. This person proceeds to says

"oh you may have the flu"....****I'm thinking what****

No, I don't have the flu, or flu-like symptoms, just stuffy nose and coughing

"How do you know, are you a doctor?"

.....Right then and there, I had to grow patience and not respond. I didn't want to sound like an ass, but I've had the flu before, light and extreme.....its just a simple Cold...my sibling had to talk me out of responding.

You DON'T want to know what I was going to say....

Allow Me to Show You How to K.I.S.S.

Covering the Do's and Dont's of Relations

DO NOT try to read me: that will get you nowhere fast. If you find yourself reading me, I hope that you are liscensed and Im paying you to do so. I can't speak for other guys, but I have a radar for women who are trying to figure me out. You might do better drugging me and probing my brain, cuz its not going to happen.

Back and Better!

You'd think I didn't enjoy posting blogs....For those who have read them before, know that it is very random. Its been since July since the last one and before that like 8months. Not really like me to NOT share my thoughts and experiences w/ the world. 5:08am on a Sunday and Im as wired as a "rave-kid" on "X"..... I guess thats because Im not feeling well and I go to sleep when the sandman wants me to. I think I hit the sack at 9pm and woke up at 4am sneezing and blowing....ah whatever....I may drug myself up just because I don't think I want to see the sun

Anyway back to the point....I am back and better...stay tuned
