About Me...

Background

I was born and raised in New Orleans, LA. Born in the 12rd ward, raised in the 17th ward (Hollygrove). I graduated from McMain Magnet High School (...and NO, I am not a "real" nerd, I'm your klassik underachiever to be real honest). I went on to attend Miles College on a football scholarship and then transferred to The Southern University and A&M College, where I played football there too. I was fortunate enough to also become a member of the illustrious bond of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Incorporated (Alpha Sigma Khapter, Spring 1999, 6-Klub, "Krazy Legs"). I was also able to receive a Masters degree in Systems Engineering from Southern Methodist University in the Fall of 2004. (Lucky for me the company I work for paid for it)

I currently reside in Burleson, TX (a suburb of "Funkytown," TX or Fort Worth, TX for those that don't know of what I talking about, ya dig.). I am employed by large company in the area. (but, by now, you probably already figured that part out). On July 25, 2006 I proposed to the most beautiful woman to ever walk into my life, Shaemekia LaShae (White) Jamison, not including my mom (...and Nia Long though, she never quite walked into my life to be exact...LOL! Calm down, it's just jokes)

And on July 20, 2007 I made her my wife. (yeah, all single ladies you can look somewhere else)

At the present time we don't have any children, but for the time being, that's a good thing. Nothing like taking some time to "honeymoon," ya heard me! ;-)

Do I love what I do...sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. Is there something I'd rather be doing everyday...sure. Try staying at home sitting on my rear end. OK, I'm kidding really. Although that may sound like the life, I actually have a hard time staying at home on vacation for more than a few days at a time. (yeah, call me krazy if you want...but I tell you no lie.) It's just something about sitting around doing nothing with your life that eats away at me. But I guess if I was filthy wealthy (yeah, I said wealthy, not rich...THERE IS A DIFFERENCE PEOPLE!!!!). Anyhow, if there was something I could quit my job to do, it would probably be coaching. I think I would love to be a football coach. High school, college, etc. It really wouldn't matter to me. Part of it is that I miss the game so much. I lie to you not, there is no price that can be put on the experience of playing football (or any sport for that matter) and being around good teammates.

Why a Blog?

Good question (but then again, what question is really a bad question???) Actually I'm not sure why I started this blog. It could be that I've succumb to the evil forces of the internet. Or, it could be that I'm just bored as all get out in my normal, everyday life and need to do something else just becasue I can. Isn't that the real purpose of a blog anyway? If it isn't, then it should be.

For the most part I don't even know what I'll even use this dayum thing for anyway. Most likely I'll post about current events and my take on all of it. I'll also share the good news in my life as well as the bad. (can't have one without the other right). As big of a sports fan as I am, you know this site won't go without some sports commentary with a vengence!!! (anybody familiar with GAC will know what I'm talking about...LOL!)
