That's right. It's the day the United States got they liberty. It's this country's birthday. Happy Birthday ta us! We've been a free nation fo' 233 years. Unlike last year, I don't have ta work at Little Caesars. I would've worked today if someone didn't trade they shift wit me. I get ta chill this year. I have the whole weekend off. Fo' the record, I could've gone up north wit my parents but it's borin' up there. This year, fo' the Fourth, I'll jus be seein' fireworks at the Tridge wit my brotha. There's plenty of people that put down some of they green fo' some fireworks. It's best ta leave it ta the pros though. I know this country has elected someone who's tryin' ta divide us but today, we have ta celebrate the day that unites us. No matter who's in office, this day always has the same significance. That's all this journal comes wit today. I'll launch another post on here tomorra. Skillz is now away fo' the day.

That's right. We both work today. My brotha has a noon ta 2 and then a 5 ta 9 lata at the local gas station. I jus have a 4 ta 7 at Little Caesars. I got my work schedule fo' next week. I work from 5 ta 8 on Monday and Wednesday and from 4 ta 7 on Friday and Saturday. All my shifts next week are shaker shifts except Friday's. I actually don't work Sunday. I haven't had a whole weekend off in a while. This means I have the whole Fourth of July weekend off. I got the microwave delivered ta the Lang's after work yesterday. All the usual company was there. Someone did show up that isn't the typical guest. That was Chris Wing. I don't know if he had other business in Michigan or did he make a special trip fo' Mark's 50th birthday celebration. I couldn't stay long cuz I had a pizza in my ride. I shortly split after I delivered the microwave. I'm jus chillin' right now. That's all I've got fo' y'all today. Another post'll emerge tomorra. Skillz is blazin' out.

That's right. My brotha picked up a new microwave that my parent's bought fo' my parents' second home. After I get off work today, I'll have a delivery ta make. I'll be droppin' off the microwave at the Lang's digs. The Lang's plan on goin' north fo' the Fourth like my parents so they'll take the microwave wit them and drop it off at my parents' second home when they visit them. Today jus happens ta be the day that Dylan's old man decided ta have his 50th birthday celebration. My parents had dinner wit the Lang's on his actual day. My parents bailed fo' they second home at almost 8 last night. Today, I'll be workin' at Little Caesars from 4 ta 7. It looks like the job my brotha's doin' at the gas station is stockperson. He'll continue his trainin' tomorra. I'm jus chillin' right now. I've reached the end of yet another entry. Tune in tomorra fo' another post. Skillz has closed his journal fo' the day.

Today, my brotha'll start his new job. He'll be able ta get back ta generatin' revenue. I'll only have ta pay fo' gas in full one mo' time. After that, I'll be payin' half fo' gas. My brotha can tear it up at this job. He'll have ta find somethin' better if he wants ta make mo' cuz that gas station don't even pay what I make. I don't work today but I'll be workin' tomorra at Little Caesars. The work schedule fo' next week was already up yesterday but I didn't have anythin' ta write it on. Good luck on ur new job, brotha. My parents are takin' off fo' they second home today so me and my brotha will have the house ta ourselves fo' much of the weekend. I'm jus chillin' right now. That's all I'm sayin' today. I'll launch another post on here tomorra. Skillz has punched out fo' the day.

That's right. My brotha will start trainin' at the local gas station tomorra. I don't know if his trainin' will count as a work day but it would be sweet if he got paid fo' his trainin'. Today, I'll be workin' a 4 ta 7 at Little Caesars. My parents plan on headin' up ta they second home tomorra ta stay through the Fourth of July weekend. Me and my brotha jus plan on stayin' at the hood like last year. I'm jus chillin' right now. That's my 411 on today. I'll have the next entry built tomorra. Skillz has vacated this space.

That's right. My brotha might gettin' a job at the local gas station. He was in town comin' home from an employment seminar and got a call from the local gas station sayin' ta come in Wednesday fo' some trainin'. It look's like they are hookin' him up wit a job. That's ill that they did. I'm so glad that he got a job. He wasn't even interviewed either. He was jus asked ta come in and start trainin' on Wednesday. Now, he and I are both employed. Now, I can say that the whole family is workin'. Goin' from burgers ta returnables is a few steps back but it's still money. He should still try ta get a job on top of that. Now, both me and my brotha will be pullin' in revenue. Once his payroll kicks in and his checks start, he'll be able ta once again help me pay fo' gas. I've got today off but I'll be workin' a 4 ta 7 shift at Little Caesars tomorra. I was able ta work a half an hour longer yesterday cuz the store was unusually busy. I've still got ta find a career. A second job would be nice in the mean time cuz my current job isn't payin' full-time hours. Good job on gettin' that job, brotha. It'll feel nice fo' u ta know once again what earnin' money feels like. I'm jus chillin' right now. That's all I've got. Another post'll be up and runnin' tomorra.

Fo' a while, in the past months, I've worked three-hour shifts at Little Caesars witout comin' in early. Wit, the owner not wantin' me ta come in early, I'll be goin' back ta comin' in when I'm supposed ta. Today, I work a 4 ta 7. I'll be comin' in at 4 like I'm scheduled ta. I recently mowed the back lawn. At 3:30, I'll be bailin' fo' work. Yesterday, my brotha got a call from the gas station askin' if he was still lookin' fo' work. Even if my brotha got that job it would jus be chump change compared ta what I make but it would still count as somethin'. I'm jus chillin' right now. That's all that's comin' on here today.

Yesterday, when I got ta work, I found a note stapled ta my time card. It was from the top dog himself. From lookin' at his note it looks like he busted me fo' punchin' in early on my Tuesday shift. That's the only shift he caught me on. It was a'ight wit my manager when I came in an hour early fo' my three-hour shifts. Apparently, it's not a'ight wit the owner. I guess I'll be goin' by the schedule from now on. I have today off fo' a change. Tomorra, I have a 4 ta 7. I'll only work the hours of that shift. I won't add any extra time now. One of my co-workers wanted ta switch they Tuesday wit my Saturday. They were both the same hours. I let him switch. I guess this means I won't be workin' on the Fourth this year. I'll enjoy this day off today. I'm jus chillin' right now. That's all I'm capturin' fo' this blog. Jus wait 'til tomorra fo' my latest post. Skillz is bustin' out.

Thriller - Michael Jackson |

This news is too big ta ignore. We lost a huge pop icon yesterday. It was Michael Jackson. He lost his life yesterday at his pad in Cali at the young age of 50. I can remember hearin' some of his music growin' up. I also got a couple parodies of his songs that are part of my collection of Weird Al tunes. He set the bar fo' pop music. He really blew up in the 80's. I know he did some whack stuff but a lot of people will remember him fo' his music that he produced. I don't own any of his material but I've still heard enough of his tunes ta appreciate the legacy that he's leavin' behind. I've got work today at Little Caesars. It's a shift from 2 ta 6. Fo' this shift, I'll be gettin' my shake on. That's right, it's another shaker shift. I'll be oilin' up my exposed skin again wit some sunscreen. Yesterday, I got my hours fo' next week. I'll be workin' Sunday and Thursday thru Saturday. They're all 4 ta 7. That means I'll be comin' in an hour early fo' each shift. Since I'm workin' next Saturday, I'll be workin' on the Fourth of July again. I don't mind though. RIP, MJ. U will be missed. It won't be the same ta not hear about u in the media. He's gettin' plenty of coverage right now about his death. May he live on in the lyrics of his songs. That's all I'm havin' on this post. I'll be crankin' out another post tomorra. Skillz has left this e-journal fo' the day.

That's right. Wit this post, I now have 1,000 mo' entries than my brotha. That means I have almost three mo' years of material than he has. I can't blame him though. Since he doesn't have a job and is still searchin' fo' one, he must've lost interest along the way. That and he rather keep his thoughts on paper than on a form that's part of a page on a journal web site. If it weren't fo' me keepin' tabs on his journal, I probably wouldn't hear from him on here in months. The same would probably be true if this site didn't have a nudge feature. While my brotha's mo' relaxed on when he leaves entries, day ta day, my posts don't stop unless there's a period of time where I'm not able ta have access ta a computer. Well, today I'll be workin' a shift that I took from someone at Little Caesars. It's from 4 ta 7 but I'll start the shift an hour early. I'm jus chillin' right now. That's the specifics on today. Expect ta see another entry tomorra. Skillz has made his exit.

It's that day again that's all about the old men. The day where bein' a father is a big deal. Dylan will be one next year. He'll also be able ta be a part of this day next year. My old man deserves some rest on this day but his work gives him so much ta do so it's hard fo' him ta come up fo' air sometimes. I guess he can try his best ta relax on this day. Maybe when he's done enough work , he can jus kick back and take in this day. The old man deserves some major props fo' bringin' me and my sibs up. All the old men out there deserve this day fo' all they go thru. As usual, me and my brotha have already bought the old man his Father's Day card. He opened it not too long ago. It's not only Father's Day today but it's also the Summer Solstice. It easily feels like summer today. It's 80 degrees right now. It's not often that the first day of Summer falls on Father's Day. I happen ta work on Father's Day. It doesn't look like there's any plans fo' lata. I'll be doin' a 4 ta 7, throwin' on an extra hour at the beginnin' of my shift. What I really mean is a 3 ta 7. Yesterday, I got someone ta hook me up wit one of they shifts. They gave me a 4 ta 7 fo' Tuesday. All it took was my power of persuasion. It's also easy fo' anyone ta talk this person out of a shift. That's all I'm featurin' today. My latest entry will be created tomorra. Skillz is out.

I've been workin' at Little Caesars fo' a 'lil mo' than a year and I haven't done counter. I also haven't closed before. Pretty soon, I'd like ta be shown how ta do both. It would make me mo' valuable there if I start doin' what others are already doin'. Yesterday, when I went wit mama and my brotha ta pick the lights fo' the addition up, the Garmin Zumo wasn't takin' us where we needed ta go. We eventually found our way. After gettin' the lights, we stopped at Lumber Baron's and chowed on some appetizers. Today, I'll be workin' a 2 ta 6 shift at Little Caesars. I'll have ta let my manager know that I would like ta learn some other stuff when I'm there. I'm jus chillin' right now. That's all I'm fillin' in this space. There'll be mo' ta be discovered tomorra. Skillz has left his office.
