I love, love, love the big-box store Walmart, but, they are thieving crooks!! Being that I'm a small-fry, a low roller, a tiny tiny fish, I respect and cherish each and every penny I have, get, find, and manifest. For me, literally, every penny counts. I guess I'm anal like that. A penny is no big deal in the grand scheme of things right?
I bought a roasted chicken on sale for $2.49. At 7% tax which should be .17 cents they charge me .18 cents!
A penny here , a penny there, over the span of the Walmart empire over the course of a few weeks, I bet it could add up to a few million dollars total.
A few people or one person is making out "like A FAT CAT!!!".
Pennies make dollars and a few billion pennies make millions of dollars yo.
2.49

o.1743 Five or over, you round up. Four or less, you stay the same.
How do you round off to .18 from this?
Fuck Walmart or fuck the government, or fuck both you mother-fuckers!! (I love you too though cock-suckers).
Taking money from a "barely getting by" negro is totally fucked up.
Lol, I tried to post Rihanna's song " Bitch Better Have My Money" but I couldn't do it. You get the idea though.
Peace.

Steve Harvey made a mistake but the slighted woman deserves some sort of "compensation" for the verbal blunder in my opinion.
I was in Walmart the other day buying some energy-shots. On my way out, I stopped by a food display near the exit to re-look at the cooked chicken products on sale. A container of barbequed chicken wings selling for $2.07 caught my eye and I snatched them up because I had two bucks and some change left from my energy-shot purchase. I go the cashier and pay for them during lite conversation. She hands me the receipt and I go sit down to review my receipt. I get in my car, drive home, enter my apartment, and prepare to eat those succulent looking wings. I lay out a few slices of bread, make some cold tea, then...HEY, where are my wings? I realize I forgot to get the bag from the bag carousel after I paid for them!! I was really, really looking toward eat those wings then to have them not be available??? Dude, it hurt a little. I checked to make sure I had not left them in the car and they were not there. I wasn't about to go back over a two dollar purchase but joy/pleasure was taken away from me at the very last minute. It was a double loss because not only did I not have the wings, I paid for them with cash to which I will never see again.
Rule # 1 - Never lose money
Rule # 2 - Never forget rule number one
Mr. Buffett would be disappointed in me.
I ended up buying pizza later that evening. Damn!! Totally off my program!
Anyway, have a merry Christmas and a happy New Year to everyone.

I had my own personal film festival one night by viewing three basketball movies in a row. The first one was White Men Can't Jump. This was a good movie and the best out of the three in my opinion. The second was Coach Carter. This was also a good movie. The third one was Love And Basketball. A good movie too.
In all of them, there was gain and loss by the characters.
One lesson I learned is that life rarely goes exactly the way you want it to.
Another one is that there is no such thing as total happiness.
Another one is that stress and drama will be with you no matter what.
The last one I will share today of the many more is that there are different levels of love. The levels and intensities vary. Who and or what you love is your decision and you have to live with your decision(s).
Stuff goes on every day.
Peace.

P.S. The Eagles beat the Patriots last Sunday! Woooo-Wwwhhooooooooooo!!!
If you ever get a chance, lay down on a table heads up next to each other a penny a nickel a dime a quarter and if you can get them, a half-dollar and an Eisenhower dollar. Why is President Lincoln facing one direction and all the other people facing the opposite direction?
It may not mean anything but I see something yo.

Happy some of the time. Kind of happy under the present circumstances - go figure.
Optimum situational happiness for me (other than church):
-some beer
-some cigarettes
-a sunny, clear with a few clouds, 72 degree day
-space to lay down
Sloth may be one of the deadly sins but, ohh soo heavenly!!!!
Happy Friday 13th

Last week I was chosen to read scripture for this week's worship service at my church. I have not done any type of public speaking since my college days so this was going to be an experience. Plus, me and a guy named Mike are the only two non-white congregants in the church. Me being black and Mike an Asian guy hang tough. It's a small church but enough people to give you the "willies" if you speak in front of them.
I went up, read the three sections and sat back down. Only a few minor slips but I think I did well because quite a few people told me that I did a good job in front of the audience. I said that I would read if they needed me because I'm not really an official church member but, at the end of the service when people were leaving, the pastor said that he's going to put me in the rotating line-up for readers and we would work on me becoming a member. I go practically every week because I think I need to be a part of something bigger than me. I also need to publically show my love for God. The church is in you where ever you go I've heard but being with like-minded people in worship can't be beat. No matter how often I hear organized religion criticized, I will always believe that society needs this type of group. I know the church scandals are bad but I think the good out-weighs the bad.
Just some talk.
Peace.
