Anyway, I've been in Detroit since yesterday and driving back to Satan's Anus was no small task. The roads were extra slippery and I witnessed THIRTEEN accidents. I was shook. This is my first winter with Gretchen, and since I'm used to having the massive SUV, I was slightly intimidated.
Overall, Christmas was good. I got a new briefcase filled with the greatest stuff in the world from TAD. I was pleasantly surprised that she took advantage of that Amazon wishlist, because she got me some obscure beats and books that I'd been wanting forever. Plus a buncha coffee which I'm partaking of as I write.
And TAD? She got engaged...
I engaged the fuck outta her. Trust me when I say I tried, tried like hell to get a decent, unblurry pic of that ring. It refuses to be photographed properly.
That shit happened on Christmas eve.
The next day we went visiting and shit. Family stuff, where TAD and I had to tell everybody "the story", even when we disagreed on what "the story" was. We got two different versions of it, so that'll confuse the kids one day.
We did a lot of fun shit which mainly consisted of visiting friends and family and going to the bookstore a lot.
On New Year's Eve we were going to go to my boy Hutty's crib for his annual soirée, but the weather didn't cooperate, so we stayed home and smooched. And TAD got all domestic and cooked gumbo.
Which I enjoyed (and am still enjoying) immensely. This year I went from a SUV driving, dreadlocked, bad credit having cynic to a sedan driving, afroed, decent credit who believes the future just might not be so bad. Who'd a thunk it?
Be Cool,
KZ

I am so very happy for you, Zed. I'm glad that you didn't let the cynic in you prevent you from pursuing the dream again. You are a real overcomer.

Aw!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The ring won't ack right in front of a camera because too much bling, sort'a like the mirror effect. It's gorgeous; love the cut of the stone.
