Onward, Upward, Backward, Downward

Hey y'all! Sorry I've been tardy. I've had a pretty good excuse. I was prepping to leave town on vacation to see my parents so I had to work, then I actually left. I took my laptop, but I was too tired to blog after each day, so I didn't. I had fun. Went to amusement parks, to the beach. I didn't see any relatives in Tampa other than my parents. Ate devil crab.

Oh yeah, I had TAD with me.

That was the biggie. TAD met Dad. And Mom.

The unfazable Jedediah Zednanreh was fazed. That cat is funny. He asked me if we were serious. He asked me when I was gonna produce some grandchildren. Funny guy. A laugh riot, really.

Marilyn Zednanreh took TAD with her to do the only thing that brings her peace, shopping. She has done that exactly ONE other time with a woman I've introduced her to, and that was in 1994.

Needless to say, she made quite an impression. Or else my parents are just getting old and wanna see what a Zed clone might look like.

Me and TAD had a great time, sans parents and with parents. When she and I dressed up to go out on our last night there, my parents took pictures like we were going to the prom. It was pretty damn funny.

In some ways I'm glad to be back. But really I hadn't spent that much time with TAD at one time ever. We had a week together and it was good. But I missed my bed and all my wretched Satan's Anus surroundings.

In other news, I keep getting visitor after visitor coming into my office to look at me. They come in, make up some excuse to talk to me and leave. Why? I cut my hair. My dreadlocs are in a zip lock bag at home. They are marveling at the wonders Three performed (with a scissor assist by TAD) on my head yesterday. My haircut will give them something to talk about for the next six months. I hope they are entertained. But I'm bored.

Well, that's my little life in a nutshell. I hope y'all stay cool.

Peace,
KZ

OH NOOOOOOOO the locs are no more????!!!! :-(

TAD met the parents!!!!! This IS BIG! I'm not gonna jinx you by jumping to conclusions or trying to march you down the aisle, but I'm smiling for ya.

Did your parents make you and TAD sleep in separate rooms? hahahahahaha
Don't you just love being an adult in you parents home? LMAO
awwww and they took pictures of y'all all dressed up!

I have adult kids and they best NOT think they are sleeping with their boyfriend or girlfriend in my house. HA! Hell I impose the same rule on them that were inflicted on me....and I LOVE IT, lol

You wrote about this so matter-of-factly but in reality....this is pretty big. TAD met the Fockers? LOL

What's even bigger is that you two were together for an entire week and you're still speaking. That bodes well for you two.

And you cut your dreads? We need a photo Zeddie....

New energy, huh? I feel ya.

Angie said...

Let's see a pic of the new Zed-head! I'm glad you had a good time, you were due one. Sooo, uhhhm, we have taken TAD to a whole nuva level! I love to see people beginning a new relationship, it's so promising and fun in the beginning. I'm kinda hating on yall - not a lot, but some. : )

@OneFrom
Yep. The locs are history. It's all transient, it's all temporary. They might be back someday, but for now, they're gone.

My mother is funny. She told us whatever we do in our half of the house is our business. "Shit, y'all grown!" We kept in clean, though. We slept in separate rooms.

@Sixy
Yeah, we had a good week. No fights. At least no real fights. Same ol' stuff. Like "African, be quiet!".

I'll post a photo as soon as I get it from my camera.

@Ang
It's all just a wait and see proposition. We'll see how this thing progresses. I don't see meeting the parents nearly as seriously as I did in my twenties.

okay would it be totally weird to invite blogger friends to your wedding? i think we should open up that conversation now...

ps..i'm totally proud of you on all fronts!!

aquababie said...

well at least you had a reason not to blog! i'm glad to hear the "intro" went well.

i can't wait to see a pic of you sans locs. ikept my locs for 3 months. i gave them away to an artist friend who will be using them for a new piece. i have one left. it's one of my double dragon locs.

BZ said...

Wow! That's fantastic! Glad you guys had a great time and that TAD seems to bode well with the 'rents. And, a whole week w/o killing each other? An even better sign.

I can't believe you cut your hair, and you kept it in a bag? Guess you have to have had dreds to understand. LOL

Glad to see you upbeat, luv.

*GASP*

Little Brown Girl said...

...and my gasp was a 2 parter!

1) TAD goes home to meet the 'rents...sho nuff this thing is serious with a capital "C" Excellent dude...happy to hear that the sound of love is a pleasant to your ears!!!

2) YOU CUT OFF YOUR WHAT?? I know I didn't read that right...this is just a dream in in 2 secs I'll wake up and laugh right?

WOWOWOWOWOWOW I go on blog hiatas and Zed has cut the dreads and took someone home to meet the folks. *faint* Good to see you man. ~Newy

Miz JJ said...

I agree on needing a pic of loc-less Zed.

proacTiff said...

Yep. It's officially Summertime. Feeling lighter 'bout the head. "Phuck Pork" so definitely will be lighter due to shedding the water once held in by all the salt. And a new Do to go along with the limitless career possibilities. Yep. It's your time and season. Last time a fellow shedded dreds that I knew, he did it for a big promotion and transfer to St. Pete. Not that the rents being in Tampa is any correlation. ~LOL~ But you know I'm just up the road from there. ...

My best to you on your journey --out of Locdom. We will miss a fellow locer. ~wink~

DivineLavender said...

"TAD met the Fockers? LOL"


I second that!


69, that is exactly what I was thinking and going to type!


LMFAO!

Anonymous said...

You better burn that hair!!!!! LOL

Glad you are back with good stories to tell. I am not familiar with the history and you and TAD but from reading everyone's comments it seems like she is "the one" and thats great to see.

You must post pics soon.

The Brown Blogger said...

About the locs... Understood.

About this movement. Impressed.

About the future my brother, TAD is all up in it, and that's a good thing.

Paula D. said...

Glad you had a good time. Wow, what made you cut your dreads off? How do you feel?

nikki said...

damn. got rid of the locs? oh well...

so TAD met the 'rents...hehehe

sounds like somebody was in the tree, k.i.s.s.i.n.g

@AJ
You're invited. But only if you wear something low cut to show off the twins.

@Aqua
I had about 12 double dragons in there. I don't know how long I'll keep the locs. I'll send you some pics.

@BZ
It's like keeping the shit you pledged or crossed with. Nobody but you knows what the fuck it took for you to complete the journey. It seems crazy to other people, but loc'ed people get it.

@RD
Nope. Locs are hist. They might come back, but who knows. I'm getting mighty old!!!

@Newy
What you up to? Still poetic, I hope.

@Miz JJ
Maybe I'll take the pic with my apnea mask on. LOL

@Pro
No Tampa for the kid. It's a beautiful place to visit, but my fam is too deep for me to live there. I'd have people at my door constantly.

@DL
Dang, DL, you too?

@Simply
I can't be putting that bad mojo out into the universe. If I burn the hair, my aura will escape!

@Hassan
The locs are gone, but I'm still a "head" in spirit. Incidentally, it seems like Florida in general is a loc paradise.

@Paula D.
University Mall over by USF made me cut my locs!!! Just kidding. I don't know. It was about time, I think. That set of locs didn't move me like the set before them.

@Nikki
I'd have rather been f.u.c.k.i.n.g.
Or at the very least g.e.t.t.i.n.g.h.e.a.d.

so NOW i understand your comment! i hadn't gone back to read some of your older posts so i didn't know you had cut your locs too! i feel you on "still being a loc-head at heart." and yes, people are weird with all the staring. but simplyb is right, you'd better burn them (once you decide to get rid of them). mine are in a bag right now too. i plan to burn them after i take them home for my parents to see...

let the positive and renewed energy begin! :-)
