font-size: 12pt;\">Honestly, I can\u2019t remember the last time I went an entire seven-day stretch where I didn\u2019t at least post even the fluffiest of fluff on my brog.\u00a0 It had to have been somewhere back in that one month in that one year where I only made eight posts in total.\u00a0 But it\u2019s not like it\u2019s because I\u2019ve hit writer\u2019s block, or had nothing to talk about, or that the City of Atlanta hasn\u2019t given me something to write about.\u00a0 It\u2019s hard to really say if I\u2019ve even really been busy over the last week or so; now I don\u2019t really want to write something for the sake of writing something, but the truth is, I stop and think about the last week or so, and I can\u2019t really say that anything has really happened for me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">One of my cousins got married over the weekend, which was pretty much the brunt of the last few days, since I spent some time buying myself a nice new suit, and then there was the wedding affair itself, which was pretty much everything I thought it was going to be.\u00a0 The ceremony was pleasant, and I\u2019m legitimately happy for my cousin, but it was still kind of a bittersweet affair to me, because of some of the turmoil surrounding my immediate family, and what could possibly going on through my mom\u2019s head throughout the whole time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">Of course, no baseball season is complete without at least one trip to Baltimore\u2019s Camden Yards, the home of the Orioles, and which is probably my favorite ballpark in all of baseball, which is ironic considering just how much I hate the city.\u00a0 But in spite of the hellacious traffic endured to get there, it was still a pleasant evening of getting drinks at Pickles\u2019 Pub outside of the ballpark while pounding street food, and then watching the blO\u2019s get beaten down by the Rays.\u00a0 Also on this brief excursion, I was introduced to the wonder that was Royal Farms fried chicken.\u00a0 Jesus Christ that stuff was amazing, and has since triggered a craving for more fried chicken that can only be satiated by more fried chicken.\u00a0 I think I want fried chicken for dinner tonight.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">To conclude my uneventful last seven-day span, I got an iPhone 5.\u00a0 For months, I\u2019ve been wrestling with the fact that my HTC Evo has been gradually dying, and sure, I probably could have prolonged things even longer if I just bought a replacement battery, but frankly, I felt that it was time for a change.\u00a0 I could have went the direction of sticking with Android, and going with like a Samsung Galaxy 3 or 4, but I don\u2019t know, it just felt like I should just go with Apple this time around.\u00a0 I\u2019ve grown more acclimated to the iOS from having my iPad over the last year, so it\u2019s not like there would that much of a learning curve going with the iPhone.\u00a0 So now, I join the masses with my iDevice, and try not to look down on the rest of the Android or Windows phone users of the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">That\u2019s really it; like I said, I try not to write for the sake of writing too often, but today I kind of felt like writing something at all.\u00a0 And when the urge comes, but no topic comes to mind, it\u2019s the old creative writing exercise of simply just writing, and see what happens.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Honestly, I can\u2019t remember the last time I went an entire seven-day stretch where I didn\u2019t at least post even the fluffiest of fluff on my brog.\u00a0 It had to have been somewhere back in that one month in that one year where I only made eight posts in total.\u00a0 But it\u2019s not like it\u2019s &hellip;
