Kids have THE BEST view point! So untainted. Very simplistic. As you live and grow older you experience more so you cant help the taint so much. But the simplistic part you can do something about. I've been told that the child in me is still there and still evident. I love to hear that. Check this out....A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, "What does love mean?" The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined. See what you think....."When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love." Rebecca- age 8----------------------------------------------------------------"When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You just know that your name is safe in their mouth." Billy - age 4----------------------------------------------------------------"Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other." Karl - age 5----------------------------------------------------------------"Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your french fries without making them give you any of theirs." Chrissy - age 6----------------------------------------------------------------"Love is what makes you smile when you're tired." Terri - age 4----------------------------------------------------------------"Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK." Danny - age 7----------------------------------------------------------------"Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more. My Mommy and Daddy are like that. They look gross when they kiss." Emily - age 8----------------------------------------------------------------"Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday." Noelle - age 7----------------------------------------------------------------"Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken." Elaine-age 5----------------------------------------------------------------"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford." Chris - age 7----------------------------------------------------------------"Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day." Mary Ann - age 4----------------------------------------------------------------"When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you." Karen - age 7----------------------------------------------------------------"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy on the toilet and she doesn't think it's gross." Mark - age 6----------------------------------------------------------------"You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget." Jessica - age 8

Well.....thankfully my specific request for a woman massage therapist was granted. It was a lady named Kristyn I think. So I was a bit nervous b/c this was my first professional massage. Before I even left my crib I had to "prepare" so to speak. I uhh.....'self-loved' twice before I left. I wanted to make sure that certain things didnt pop up ya know. Its been a minute since I dun got physical like Olivia Newton John so I t
hought it was a good idea before I have some woman's hands all over me. Also I called the hotel and spoke with my co-worker. She's cool as shit. I more or less in a roundabout way asked if I should wear some drawers or not. The Teej has become somewhat of a freebird in that respect so it did cross my mind as to how that would play into it. (Is this blog a bit extra? LOL)So I get there...and thankfully I had met the lady the day before when she came to set up so there was a little bit of comfort there. But just a bit. I helped her carry the massage table to the room. We did it in one of the guest rooms that we are using as a showroom. So I left out to let her set up, and came back in in like 5 minutes. The curtains were drawn, some typa earthy chant shit was playing and candles were lit! SHIT YEAH I could get into this. I still wasnt sure about the drawers thing so I just asked. Should I keep them on or not? She told me that it was my choice, but that most people took theirs off. *insert suspicious look here* I kept my shit on!She went into the bathroom to wash her hands. I got undressed down to my underwear and got on the table and under the little cover. I was told to lay face down. The table had one of those face holding thingys. My face barely fit in that mug, plus a little bit later on when I got real relaxed I almost slobbed, but I caught myself. LOL. When she came out she broke it down that she'd work my feet for 15 minutes and the rest for 35 minutes. MAN is that what a good foot massage feels like? I usta hook up KK's feet and she loved it. Now I know why! I mean goddamn that sh
it was euphoria I tell you!So about 10 minutes into my shit...WHY DID THE COMPTROLLER OF THE HOTEL HAVE TO COME IN THE ROOM TO CHECK THE PHONES?....ok sidenote : the phone system in the hotel has been acting funny the last couple weeks. Saying people arent registered when they are and so forth. But what I dont understand is why did they have to come check the phone in a room that we arent gonna sell for 2 months? It's 2 in the afternoon yo! There are other rooms that are vacant!....the fuck is going on here! Do you realize that I am in my drawers under this cover? So while the co-worker/comptroller lady is in the room Kristyn is steady doing her shit. She done finished my feet and moved on to my legs. So my big ass naked thighleg is hanging out the cover and whatnot. Grrrrr! So after the 20 minutes I guess they figured out whatever they wanted to with phones. I still think that shit was hella unneccesary. So Im trying to relax and get back into it b/c my shit has been totally thrown off. So Im easing back into my comfort....relaxing...relaxing....AND THEN.......THE FUCKING MINI-BAR GUY COMES IN?!?!!?!?!?! Again mind you...this room is our showroom people. Bitch, you dont have to restock the mini-bar....Aint been nobody in this mutha'fucka in a month!...the fuck are you doing?!?!?! Are yall fucking serious with this shit? Is someone plotting against me? I mean really! Even the massage lady was like 'what's going on around here?'And so....the last 12 minutes of my massage went by undisturbed. I really wanted a do-over man. I think that shit was unfair.
The first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn't already know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a wrinkled little old lady beaming up at me with a smile that lit up her entire being. She said "Hi handsome. My name is Rose. I'm 87 years old. Can I give you a hug?". I laughed and enthusiastically responded, "Of course you may!" and she gave me a giant squeeze. "Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?" I asked. She jokingly replied, "I'm here to meet a rich husband, get married, and have a couple of kids...""No seriously," I asked. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age. "I always dreamed of having a college education and now I'm getting one!" she told me. After class we walked to the student union building and shared a chocolate milkshake. We became instant friends. Every day for the next three months we would leave class together and talk nonstop. I was always mesmerized listening to this "time machine" as she shared her wisdom and experience with me. Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon and she easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she reveled in the attention bestowed upon her from the other students. She was living it up. At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet. I'll never forget what she taught us. She was introduced and stepped up to the podium. As she began to deliver her prepared speech, she dropped her 3x5 cards on the floor. Frustrated and a little embarrassed she leaned into the microphone and simply said, "I'm sorry I'm so jittery. I gave up beer for Lent and this whiskey is killing me! I'll never get my speech back in order so let me just tell you what I know." As we laughed she cleared her throat and began, "We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There are only 4 secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You've got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die. We have so many people walking around who are dead and don't even know it! There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. If you are 19 years old and lie in bed for one full year and don't do one productive thing, you will turn 20 years old. If I am 87 years old and stay in bed for a year and never do anything I will turn 88. Anybody can grow older. That doesn't take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding opportunity in change. Have no regrets. The elderly usually don't have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets." She concluded her speech by courageously singing "The Rose." She challenged each of us to study the lyrics and live them out in our daily lives.At the year's end Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago. One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep. Over 2000 college students attended her funeral in tribute to the wonderful woman who taught by example that it's never too late to be all you can possibly be. REMEMBER....GROWING OLDER IS MANDATORY. GROWING UP IS OPTIONAL. We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give.
My name is TJ Armour. And Im addicted to candy. In particular Dots and Sour Patch Kids. And while my addiction hasnt reached "offering my oral services for next to nothing" proportions just yet....it is pretty bad. I shutter (yeah I said shutter!) at the thought of how much I've spent on these 2 habits just this year alone. 
At times I feel like I need one or the other or even BOTH to get me thru the day. It just doesnt make sense. The scary part is I havent even hit rock bottom yet. Just as sure as I typed this confession, I'll go get some soon. Pray for me. Even more so...pray for my teeth!
I dunno what I was on when I wrote the previous post...but Im off it now! What can I say? I have never ever denied being the moody scorpio that I am. Every so often I fall into melancholy mode, but it's usually short-lived.In other news.....I dunno about this keeping my fingernails crap. These shits are too long. Im really not trying to have to buy a nail file and be up in the crib filing my nails man. I'd rather just bite these shits (like I had been for umpteen years now) and keep them regulated and nice and low like I like them. This is starting to be ridiculous. I mean really...I be using them to press buttons on my phone and shit. Not a good look.Speaking of a good look though.....I'm all set to switch over to the Conciegre position at the hotel. While Im happy to be taking up this new position and looking forward to the exciting challenge of it....Im REALLY looking forward to some of the perks that come with the position too. Restaurants kissing up and bending over backwards for me to refer guest to them, getting passes to night spots and the whole 9. (I know I sound like Im in it for all the wrong reasons, right?) I mean even today I come in to work and my manager tells me "We're switching the massage company that we refer guests to. You HAVE to get a massage this week!" Well damn Gina! If you say I HAVE to. Im willing to sacrifice and be a guinea pig if it means a free hour long massage in the name of customer service. I just betta not get some big muscular french dude named Hanz or no shit. And please know that I told my manager that. Im not trying to have no massage by no dudes. Im far from homo-phobic, but this is a real strong personal preference, feel me? I'll be sure to blog about that on the for-really real.
"So much on my mind / I just cant recline / blasting holes in the night / til she bled sunshine..."*As the title suggests Im feeling a bit melancholy. Definitely happens from time to time. No worries I shall bounce back.*I cant watch no more TV or read any more articles dealing with Katrina coverage. The actual hurricane was what?...2 weeks ago? But the aftermath and whatnot will be felt for awhile to come. It's just damn sad to see the pictures and hear the stories anymore. But it's still reality. It must be dealt with. Im waiting til I get paid on the 20th to figure out what kinda donation I can make. I need to figure out what more I can do. Maybe I can give some clothes away. Or go buy can goods too. I need to do something in addition to the praying.*A week into my brother staying at my place. No problems there. When I lived at home he never did wash dishes so I didnt expect that. I just cant bask in all my naked glory like I would normally. Self love has been restricted to the shower only. Ooooh I dont like when I unsuspectedly walk in the bathroom maybe 10 minutes or so after he done blew it up and have to deal with the stench of someone else's shit! I done went thru damn near a whole pack of inscents b/c of him. But again.....I lived with this dude for damn near 1/4 century so it's not at all unfamiliar. I just have to remember to remember it all.....* Would yall believe I think I may be feeling a tad bit of pressure as far as writing in my own damn blog? Over say....the last 2 months or so I've gotten crazy compliments from peeps who've come across this here blog o' mine. Compliments coming left and right. People suggesting I submit this and that to a literary agents and publishers. Talk about pressure! Somedays as I write in it I wonder what peoples reaction will be. Will they dig it? Somedays I dont even write b/c Im afraid what I have an impluse to write about may not be substantial enough. I have to bring myself back to reality. IT'S MY SHIT!!!! I originally started writing for me. Lord knows I love all my blog buddies to death and I appreciate the comments......but I kinda have to get back to square one, ya know? Listen to me go off of the deep end here. LOL. Pardon me for a sec...I need to conference with myself. This'll only take a sec.....'Boy if you dont hush up with all that jibba jabba and just do what you been doing..which is write what you feel. Fuck all the extra shit!'. Fin.

By now Im sure you all have heard about Kanye's comments made during the live telecast that NBC did on Friday. My question to yall is how do you feel about it? Was it warranted? Justified? Wrong place wrong time? What? Read it again and tell me.... “I hate the way they portray us in the media,” West said echoing comments that big media outlets are biased in how they present images of the hurricane victims. “You see a black family, it says, ‘They're looting.’ You see a white family, it says, ‘They're looking for food.’ “It's been five days [waiting for federal help] because most of the people are black,” West said. “And even for me to complain about it, I would be a hypocrite because I've tried to turn away from the TV because it's too hard to watch. I've even been shopping before even giving a donation, so now I'm calling my business manager right now to see what is the biggest amount I can give…the way America is set up to help the poor, the black people, the less well-off, as slow as possible. I mean, the Red Cross is doing everything they can. We already realize a lot of people that could help are at war right now, fighting another way -- and they've given them permission to go down and shoot us!” And of course the we cant forget the grande finale of a line "George Bush doesnt care about Black p
eople!". And at that point they promptly cut from 'Ye to an absolutely startled and befuddled Chris Tucker. LMAO. The look of Mike Meyers' face as 'Ye was going off, and Tucker's when they pitched to him earlier than he obviously expected was priceless to say the least. They say they woulda cut him off earlier but the censor dude was only listening for cuss words. Ha! HE-LARRY-US!!!!! I'll tell yall this.......I fucking love it!. That shit took big time balls! I admire and respect the fact that he went for broke and did it at all.
My oh my.......I wonder what could the difference could ever depend on! Not!!!! (Click on the pic)
"I'm not having kids. Kids grow up to be big people, and big people piss me off!" - The Teej circa 1994*sigh*.........Why the fuck do I have to beg and plead with my mama at 11 o'clock at night not to throw my little brother's shit on the street? Why do I now have a temporary roommate? You guessed it..... said little brother. Im not tripping on him staying with me. Him living with my mom is pretty much done. Of course I'll let him stay with me. Isnt that what big brother's do? What Im tripping on is me having to play mediator 'tween these two bickering fools. Yes I love my mama. And yes I just referred to her as a fool. Sorry. And then I got to hear both sides of their stories. You know the 3 sides to every story notion? That shit is ringing sooooo true right now. In listening to them I can hear where they are exaggerating certain details. Black people! I tell ya. I dont even feel like going into specific details.Just know that this type of shit here.....is the exact reason why I dont know about having kids. Cause they'll grow up on you and piss you off! Every big person that has ever pissed you off.....oh yeah...they usta be a kid! So I just figure me not having kids is effectively using my bud-nippers and nipping that shit in the bud!Fin.
Im sooo all about song quotes people! The following song quotes have stuck with me throughout the years for various reasons. Some are motivational, some just really hit home with me.
