Saturday, I was at work when I got a surprising offer from JL Clyde & Filly. Apparently, JL Clyde wasn't feeling well…and they had bought tickets to an Ani DiFranco concert at the downtown library…so they had an extra ticket. Now, I had heard great things about Ani DiFranco from them as well as Camb and basically any other lady that knows anything about music…but I really couldn't hum a tune or anything like that. In fact, if I were asked, "What kind of music does she do?" My response would be something along the lines of "Angry hippie chick folk music…but allegedly really good angry hippie chick folk music." So I was planning on going to the concert on short notice…because why not? Well, about a half-hour later, I get a call from Filly…and another one of her friends called her back…and was really excited about going to see the concert…so I said, "You can take them instead if you want. I'd rather a fan of her music go than somebody like me." It really was no big deal to me…and I'm sure that I made somebody's day…offering something that really wasn't even mine to begin with. So I was feeling pretty good from that.
About an hour later, a coworker of mine, Nate Dogg, comes up and has a bit of a problem. He's had to leave work a few times over the past few weeks because his son has been sick…and he had just received a call from his wife…so he needed to take his son to the hospital since he had the family's only car. But if he just up & left again, he may be fired…and he's a cool cat, great worker, and amazing asset to the company…just had a bad few weeks. So I see my opportunity to step in & help out. "Dude, don't worry about it. I'll take care of your hours…and you just get your son to hospital." "Really? Dude, thanks. I'll make it up to you. If you ever need hours picked up or anything, just let me know." Then it struck me, "You know, I may need somebody to help me move in a few weeks…and all my other friends are either petite girls or have bad backs." "Done. Just let me know when, man." "Sure…but first thing's first. Go home…and let me know if you need anything." "Thanks man." He's a cool cat…and I was glad to help him out. I just got a letter from his wife (via him) a few minutes ago thanking me…and his son is doing better. Karma's coming back around now…because now I have somebody to help me move…in my time of need. It's awesome how that stuff works.
After work, I decided to just head straight to my brother's house and hang out there…with his family, all three kids, my buddy Isaihia, his fiancé, his two kids, and my 15-year old twin cousins C & T. It was a full house…but we had fun, watched a few movies, played in the sprinklers (oh yeah), and just had a good old fashioned summer funtime. Sunday was more of the same…but I wasn't feeling well all day…and my brother & sister-in-law decided to throw in some drama because they're both hormonal…but eventually I got out of there…and got to see the nieces & nephew in the meantime. I didn't take my good camera…but here are some cell phone pictures from the weekend.

For all my Battlestar Galactica fans...
Also, I found this cool website on Jlee's blog where you put in your birthday and it tells you all this stuff about your birthday. For example, I put mine in…and it comes up with stuff like…
Your date of conception was on or about 3 August 1980 which was a Sunday
You were born on a Sunday under the astrological sign Taurus.
Your Native American Zodiac sign is Beaver (tehehee); your plant is Wild Lover…er, Clover.
Your Life path number is 4 - which upon further investigation means "The Life Path 4 suggests that you entered this plane with a natural genius for planning, fixing, building, and somehow, with practical application and cerebral excellence, making things work. You are one of the most trustworthy, practical, and down-to-earth of individuals; the cornerstone members of society. if you are among these highly talented people, you have an idealistic nature which is grounded in practical terms, allowing you to conceive grandiose, far-reaching schemes and carry them through to the end. If you desire and are willing to work for it, you can achieve enormous success, prestige, and fame. You have the kind of will power that is often mistaken for sheer stubbornness. You don't think of yourself as dogged, but your honest beliefs and that ever direct speech makes you come across as completely unremitting. Loyal and devoted, you make the best of your marriage, and you are always the good provider. Friends may be few in number, but you are very close to them and once friendships are made, they often last a lifetime. The negative side of the 4 can prove dogmatic to an excess, narrow-minded, and repressive. A lot of skin-deep people turn you off, and you lack the tact to keep your feelings from being totally clear to all around. Additionally, the negative 4 has a bad tendency to get caught up in the daily routine of affairs, missing the big picture and major opportunities that come along once in a while." So yeah…but there's also other cool stuff like…
Your birthday in a half dozen other calendars like Hebrew, Mayan, and Islamic.
I was also born on the Orthodox Easter that year. Not sure what that means…probably nothing
