The American Dream

The house has been picked, the offer has been submitted...................................................................... THE OFFER HAS BEEN ACCEPTED!!!!

Now comes the hard part for me. I'm stressed out about this. Hopefully everything goes good. I need this to work out. This could be the start of something good for my family. This is going to a HUGE change for us. I never thought I would end up back in Vallejo. i left almost 5 years ago and planned to stay gone but here i am on my way back with a family. Now I'll spend my time avoiding Childhood friends lol.

I need to buy a battery for my digital camera. It just stop coming on one Day. I'm hoping its just the battery because i dont want to buy a new one. The wife just wants to buy a new one. Newer isn't always better. The funny part is when we go out she rarely remembers to bring the camera and if she does she dont take very many pictures. I end up taking all the pictures but then I never have pictures of myself.

TRADE IN YOUR HOURS FOR A HAND FULL OF DIMES

I be stunting like my daddy!!!!!! I hated that song when it came out but now its my JAM!

I need a new car and I dont have the money for one. Its starting to be very stressful. If I could figure out how to save more money we would be ok. I have never been a saver. Well now is the time to figure it out. 4 years and I haven't been able to get it together. I been thinking about going to my mom for help, she is great at saving but I don't think my wife is going to like that. We have had a budget for like a year but we never use it. We just spend money and never put any away. Its funny that when we have a little we are able to make it last as long as possible but when we have money we seem to burn thru it like LA County fire. Once you get behind you just seem to stay there forever. All we can do is hold on. Every year you think its gonna be better, its gonna be different but it doesnt.

We got a new President yesterday. Everyone is saying a change is coming? Does that mean the rich gone be poor and the poor gone be rich? Nah I thinks its gone be more of the same with a different color captain steering the ship. They say its gonna be better for us Black people but I'm pretty sure the brothers that wasn't doing shit with there lifes will continue down that path. Those of us in the rat race will continue to search the maze of life in hope of finding that cheese.

I think I'm going to change the title of my blog.

Fuck I just delete everything I wrote before I could publish it. Basicly I need another car and I don't have any money for it. Its amazing how me and my wife suck at saving money. We have no one to blame but outselfs and we have created bad habits that don't know how to stop.

THE GREAT HOUSE HUNT!

Happy New years, we made it through another year. It was an alright year for me. I didn’t argue with my wife that much which is always great in my book. I’m a God Father for the second time now. My best friend had his second daughter Yasmin Lynn McClure. I’m the God Father of both kids. The wife and I are standing by our plan of not having any more kids for now. Maybe we will feel different after we move in to a house. This house hunt has not been fun at all. We have only found one house that we really liked, come to find out it needs 13 THOUSAND DOLLARS in repairs before we can buy it. So the search continues. I have about 4 houses that my parents will be taking a look at for me this coming Monday. I have them go look at them since Vallejo is 45miles from where I live and they can let me know if the house is even worth the trip.


Still no Harley, guess I’ll put those dreams away for a little while. Maybe in 6 months I will be able to start thinking about a Harley. Well at least my wife finally picked a car. I would have rather she picked something else but it’s what she wants and she isn’t changing her mind. So now she/I have to figure out how to make it happen.


Time to start looking at Stoves and refrigerators.
