Yesterday Stephen had a shared birthday party with his cousin Mya, who is a year older. It was at Chuck E Cheese’s and it was a pretty good time. I was tired so I found one spot and stayed there until I was told we had to move out of the party area and head to the general public area. So I found another spot and sat there until it was time to go.
When we first go there, Stephen didn’t want to do anything except sit next to me. That was until the pizza came. He ate, the kids opened presents and he ended up having a pretty good day.
There was really only one present he wanted and as you can see he got it. Not to say that he didn’t appreciate getting the other gifts, but it was very obvious which one was his favorite.
I think it is a little weird that he is so into Mario because I remember playing Donkey Kong on the Atari 2600 with my cousins. For some reason, he doesn’t think that Mario has been around for so long.
Gabryale also attended the party and spent some time with her granddad. Every time I put my phone down, she would pick it up and hand it to me. So I took a picture.
I tried a couple of times to get her to smile, but she wasn’t having any of that.

Good morning.I have been told that my pictures always make me look sad, tired, or disgusted with the world. Not gonna lie, I'm usually one of the three because I usually take the pictures around 6:30 in the morning. That said, I always tell young Black men to take pictures of themselves smiling and looking happy because if anything happens to them, the media will use one of those scowling pics. Even if nothing newsworthy happens to you, it's still good to have nice looking pictures available.Have a good day today!
Good morning.Ten years ago today, I lost the love of my life. Her name was Camille and there hasn't been a day I haven't thought about her. She loved sleeping next to my head, water from a can of tuna, '3005' by Childish Gambino (whenever I would play the song, she would come running from whatever room she was in to get a better listen), and not going outside no matter how long the door was open. However, for some reason, she would never let me comb her long, luxurious hair. Anyone else could comb or brush her, but if I tried, she would bite the comb or brush until I dropped it.I miss her.Have a good day today.
