I took 7 for the JEWELS on my BIRTHDAY!!! Revenge is eminent!!!

ONE!!! With a cup of juice in my hand! Not a problem!

I know that I'm late! I know! But I've been so busy. I've been participating in so many activities so I'm back logged with blog posts. I have a lot of fun things that took place recently that I need to write about. Shannon and I went to Nascar in Delaware, sightseeing in New York, the list goes on. We like to have fun so we do a lot different activities to keep things brand new.

.

At work on the Friday before my birthday, my co-workers threw me a potluck birthday party. WOW! It was like thanksgiving dinner in my office. I ate so much I hurt myself and then took home a doggy bag. My co-workers and I love to eat so we eat out or throw potlucks for every occasion; big or small.

.

Sooooo... about the pictures above. I have a co-worker who just started working in my office. He's a cool guy and 3 weeks after him working with us, he noticed that I had an A Phi A lanyard hanging out of my pocket. And he caught me off guard when he identified himself as an Alpha from Spr. '90 ( I forgot what school he said he crossed at. Charge it to the head, not my heart!) but it's cool to have family where you work.

.

Long story short, everyone new that my birthday was fastly approaching. So he says, "You gotta take "3" for your birthday right, 'Phi'?!" And me being competitive and macho, lol, I tell him to bring the wood; not knowing that he was serious! For a week, we went back and forth about how great our chapters are. Just to let you all know, Alphas are very competitive but it's all in fun; most of the time. lol

.

On that Friday, the day of my potluck, here he comes with the wood in his hand mockin' me. "Come on Phi!" Let's go! Felt like I was on the yard again tradin' with the bruhs.

Now mind you, I hadn't taken wood since I was in school, in 2003. It had been 6 years since I felt the fire! Whew lawd! It took me so long to get my mind right. Plus, I HAD SLACKS ON! Usually, when us bruhs take wood, we have jeans or sweatpants on to cool the fire a little. I had my fresh blue slacks on! My favorite joints!

.

Needless to say, I got into the zone and took the 3 with no problem. All the while, I had a cup of juice in my hand to show that "E Pi don't flinch." E Pi is my chapter at NSU. So I get real bold and prideful because I'm representin' my chapter now, ya know, and I say that I'ma taken 7 for the Jewels (our fraternity's 7 founders are known as the 7 Jewels). I was good on the fourth one, but on that fifth one. OMG!!! lol. No joke! And unfortunately, I had 2 left to go. Why did I elect to take 4 more after the three that I agreed to?

.

That 7th one!!! Didn't make no since!!! I had to ask the Lawd to help on that one! Good gracious! It's been 3 weeks and just writin' about it brings back the fire! lol

.

All in all, my bruh/co-worker gave me my props for takin' them like a soldier. He didn't think I was goinna take them. Well, I told him to just get ready for our Fraternity's birthday, December 4, 2009!!! REVENGE!!!

TWO!!! I'm good! Chillin!

Three! Not a problem! E Pi don't flinch!

Let's go 7 for the Jewels!!!
