Must I remind you

I lied.

Slightly stirred.

My sister, who basically raised me when my mother died , and who is basically my go to person and backbone is moving back home to the Middle East.

Im so sad. Yes, I said it, and Im so not one to write blogs about personal personal personal shit. But hot damn, It just hit me.

Since she told me a month ago, I have been playing it to the side, like its a joke. So naturally the "I dont want to accept it" side in me has been in denial.

Until I went to her condo tonight, and it hit me. All the boxes, luggage, and posters on the every wall in every room to remind her of appointments, what to pack and all that jazz [she's a Dr. Shes O.C.D, and I got it from her]

Im really #@!$ed up over this , and between the night I have had, this was the icing on the cake. Im guilty of not telling those closest to me how much I love them and care for them, and my sister has been a victim of that. And now that shes about to go, Its like I just want to run to her and try not to cry and tell her not to go.

Sigh. Now the fam is really scattered.

So now, Im shook, stirred, and scattered.

I know you know I know

.....

Shaken not Stirred.

Back in the A, and on the way home from the airport [around 630ish] got in a wreck on the highway. Before I go on, I'm straight.

Basically dude behind me slammed into me , and smashed his shit up [I mean dudes shit is FUCKED UP, would post pics, but camera phones at night on the freeway suck].
My truck was left with a minor dent, paint chips, and a broken light]

Im kind of out of it, still with a slight headache, went to sleep, woke up, on here, and I think I'm starting to feel the aftermath. I was really out of it tonight,hopefully I will snap out of it by tomorrow.

BTW: Come to Good times hosted by NO ID tonight @ The Royal

Do as the Tourist do...

Well not quite.. more like the Fadia way...
so one of my fave cuzzos came to visit from Good ol' Akron, Ohio... and I had to play tour guide [I just take people where I go... lol...]



good times with famo.. my feet hurt cuz i wore out the soles on my boots.. [thats what I want for xmas] .. we went to Yaffa Cafe [my fave all night spot int he Village],had dinner and then to Habibi Lounge, smoked some argelah [strawberry flavored] and belly danced with the owner [love Egyptians.. they have the most fun.. plus he hooked us up...]






Then it was up to Times Square @ 230am ..best time to go.. to really capture the essence of the city that never sleeps, the lights, and damn it no tourist swarming the streets... best pic ops are at those hours...

We did Canal St, Habibi Lounge, Mama Mexicano, Mamouns [best shawarma in the city... just like home] we kicked it with Denks,J, watched 2 movies [ snuck into one..] missed the ending of American Gangster cuz someone almost gave me a minor stroke about this project im working on], had amazing d&d coffee and nutella crepes, shopping, played with middy, hopped on trains, missed trains, waited on trains, went off on the cabby tryin to play me and take me around the block to get more money [fuck that],


anyways.. soo much.. too many pics.. and not enought internet time.. but you get the pic....

The ultimate sign of commitment...

I moved to NYC in June and spent August 15th-October 25th in Atlanta...to some.. they thought I moved back... I didn't. My lease on my spot was not ready till October 1st and I had committed to parties and events till October 27th.. so made no senses to fly back every other day. [ just incase you were wondering.... ]

So... I'm back in the Apple and I made the biggest commitment to my determination of making NYC work for me [other than signing my lease on my apartment] ....

I bought a COUCH.
and some plates too. [Pics coming soon. ... so GORGEOUS, GAUDY, AND OLD LADY'ISH..my fave thing ever]



Thats a big move for me. I have an air mattress, a pillow (1) and one AirTran blanket (don't worry I washed it) and close to 7 suitcases worth of clothes and shoes. I have been living like the ultimate gypsy with a crash spot. But now ... I made a full on commitment. I bought my first purchase and this is my promise to myself that I am here to stay... next purchase/service: PAINTING... after that : a BED

I went through hell getting that damn couch.. so im very sensetive about it.. and if you visit you cant eat on it.. or do anything on it.. just look at it. [loooooooooooong story short... me and this lady (Mrs.Brenda was her name)



fought over this couch we both had our eye on [ at the Salvation Army] because she saw me grab the ticket and her friend ( Mr.Joe)



worked as the manager over the furniture department and was trying to give it to her..(until I asked to speak to the manager) Fuck that.. you know if I want something Im soooo gonna get it.. I fought hard for my couch.. tooth and nail... it was well worth it.. a $2,000 brand new couch , Italian made, for $150]

Why am I so proud and sensi about this couch? Because... not once did I snap, curse, lose my cool, or go off on the bitch. It was turning point in my life... not only to my commitment to living in the Apple... but also turning a new leaf and realizing .. throwing a temper tantrum does not solve all problems in life [not that I do that on the reg... but *BITCH* mode comes out quick when someone tries me or my patience gets shot].

Im growing up.

Home Sweet Home

So Broke and BouJee was good shit on Friday... and I had a flight to catch at 8am to go to MIA for Kenny Burns birthday at the Versace Mansion, but my overly tired ass (makes no sense that I sleep about 14 hours out the day) hit the snooze and didnt wake up till 9am... soooo I was like bump.. I will catch the 12pm flight to NYC, drop off some clothes, pick up some clothes, catch the 4pm flight to MIA and spend the next 3 days there...

I was wrong. Flight was delayed till 2:07, so I got in to NYC at 4:27pm and me and my luck last flight out of Laguardia to MIA is at 4:15 (WHAT KIND OF SHIT IS THAT) ...

So here I am in the Apple.. Home Sweet Home.. even though we ( Jill and I - The roomie) have no furniture,the walls are not yet painted (living room is an ugly yellow and my room is maroon), we eat in the kitchen over the sink in fear that the tiniest crumb might give the ok for an army of roaches to bombarde our lovely home, and I live on an air mattress that is killing my back with only one pillow and the Airtran blanket I swiped.... its still home. and the worst of it all.... we dont have internet access.... we were stealing it from DLINK but she got her shit cut off and when she came back she passworded her shit (bitch)..so now until the previous tenent returns her cable boxes/modems and pays her bill... we have to go the library, dunkin donusts, and starbucks.

Here is Jilly at Settepani .. we came herecause we needed to steal WI-FI and we were forced to buy something: Truffles, Peti'fore, and Coffee..[ settepani.com ] right down the street from our apartment:





So I'm here.. and it feels fucking amazing. I have been over-extending myself. I'm tired. All I know is 2008 is gonna be lovely.. but I have to make a choice. Am I going to continue working in Atlanta and Live here[NYC].. or am I going to give the Apple 100% of me. So it seems like I'm leaning more towards NYC now.. but we all know I have schizo tendencies.. so tomorrow might be different..

till then... [ I'm only rushing cause they are kicking us out ...the owner thinks its not safe to be open past 11.. so why the f@#$ did he open shop in Harlem... asshole]and im trying to go to Sway and convince Jill to take a trip downtown to meet Antoine (IHMDJ) ..

blah blah blah

You have a need to know more. Who am I , what I do and where the hell I came from. Well... lets see.. with not much to say but just enough..

I have learned to move in silence due to certain circumstance.

I speak through music. At any day, its probably best to figure out how I feel through whats playing on my page,iPod,or at home. Music is universal, and at times I can never really break down how I feel.. so in return I pray that when he visits.. he listens and reads between the lines....

Somewhat cryptic, I speak in code.. I feel in code.. and sometimes its best to leave things unsaid. Actions speak louder than words. Just watch the way I move. Its no love lost. Shoulda,Coulda,Wouldas are so last season.

I see where and what I'm supposed to be.At times its too clear, it can get scary, and then I get anxious, and want to rush it. But good things come to those who wait, especially those that do thing with integrity,passion and respect. So its cool.. I will wait.. I will grind till my hands hurt, my head pounds, and my neck is knotted...but then I can afford to go to the best masseur, and tell my problems to the best psychiatrist. I see down to the mini fridge in my office,stocked with "XXX"...courtesy of Mr.Atlanta *chees'n*

I don't want much: respect, honor, and loyalty. Not one to get jaded on much... but I'm starting to believe that this combination in characteristics might be somewhat rare to find.

At the end of the day.. my family and loved ones call me FooFoo, my last name is not really Kader (Its part of my last name.. but you would not be able to say it .. so I saved you from it), my lucky number is still 13, I don't do parties to be the life of the party, I do it to use it as a spring board to dive into some other shit that matters to me...I love Proton, T.T is my BFF, L.B is my dude for life... its a bond you can never fucking break...so say what you wanna say.. Proton is here to stay bitch (and I have to thank Ms.M.B for the intro), I hate the word haters (how lame and so timely...) I don't like to be challenged.. because then I go extra hard.. and I scare myself.. and damn it.. I still hate Cinnamon...

Love me or hate me (which I know you don't today...but you might not like me tomo and then on 2nd and 4th fridays .. you love me again..and then when its all done and the "parties" end [which they will] are you gonna hate me or love me again? We will find out soon I guess...*hint hint*).

Check back for more info on COMEUPKIDS.COM...soon...sooner than you think kinda soon.
