Now, I'm not going to lie.  Suchita is fine.  Hands down.  And after watching Good Day Atlanta, this week, I learned that she is also single. 

Now, come on fellas.  Sometimes, what we are looking for is right in front of our face.  We can't continue to allow good women to pass us by.  So, that just poses a few questions in my mind.

Why does successful women find it hard to date?  Or is it hard for a successful woman to date?

Suchita Vadlamani is single, fellas.  Let the emails being to pour in. 

Disclaimer:  No stalkers, liars, such and such, criminally insane, broken hearted or deranged suitors need to waste the time.

Dang! That just about narrows it down, doesn't it?  Just kidding.

Nancy Drew: and other sarcastic alias; trolls, are making a childish attempt to create animosity on this site. If you will go to “jaspersucks.com”, IMO, this is Jeff: tazebell: troll: the host: professor at Southern Polytechnical Inst., Marietta, GA. He uses several nicknames on the web, including mine: (#257 comment) and has tried to get me to post the info, on his site, says it is solid gold. Again, please ignore him, and to you Jeff,” this is not a childish game to me, I have invited you 4 times now to walk with me through my journey over the last 30 days.

note from blog owner: Glenn, I think you are a bit confused. I am the only blogger on my blog (from the beginning of your statement). Everyone else here are “commentors” who come and read my blog. They are stating their beliefs and opinions. Which is what comments are for.

Both Sides, Now   
by Joni Mitchell

Rows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
I've looked at clouds that way

But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on everyone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way
I've looked at clouds from both sides now

From up and down, and still somehow
It's cloud illusions I recall
I really don't know clouds at all

Moons and Junes and Ferris Wheels
The dizzy dancing way you feel
As ev'ry fairy tale comes real
I've looked at love that way

But now it's just another show
You leave 'em laughing when you go
And if you care, don't let them know
Don't give yourself away

I've looked at love from both sides now
From give and take, and still somehow
It's love's illusions I recall
I really don't know love at all

Tears and fears and feeling proud
To say "I love you" right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
I've looked at life that way

But now old friends are acting strange
They shake their heads, they say I've changed
Well something's lost, but something's gained
In living every day

I've looked at life from both sides now
From win and lose and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life at all
I've looked at life from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life at all

For any guy who's ever picked up a club--then you can relate to the great story told by Carl Hiaasen...The Downhill Lie is a funny story about a regular guy--like you and me--taking a hiatus from his golf game and then getting the bright idea to return to the course after 32 years off the links...

He was lucky enough to be in Barbados covering of all things the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue when someone talked him into a round of golf ...and whammy just like that he was hooked again!   So he picked it up and started back out on the course regularly but finds himself stuck in hacker mode--just like the rest of us!

Golf will humble you very quickly--and just when you are ready to toss your sticks in the trash can...Bang you hit a shot that brings you back for more...Oh yeah that sweet shot and sweet spot addiction...Its a real high but there are many more lows for golfers like me and probably you too--go ahead admit--Carl does!

Only 10 more days until the last day of my school year!! On the last day, I will be blogging about it!! So, make sure you are here. My last day is Friday, May 23!!

It's spring in Atlanta, and I'm getting the itch. Concert series, baseball, festivals. Time to shake the winter cabin fever, and get out into the world see it for all it's glory, it's what I look forward to most of all. But Alas, I work a schedule where my days off are split, and where one day just isn't enough. By the time I take care of the personal things I have to do like shopping, laundry, cleaning, there's no time left by then I'm to tired to go out or I have to go to bed early to get it together for work the next day. And by the time my second day comes around things have mounted up that I didn't get to finish on my first day off.

 Time Management.

  My wife says I have poor time management skills, maybe so. But I seem to have so little of it to manage. My work is labor intensive and hard on me physically, so when my day off comes around I'm so beat that all I want to do is lay around & rest.

 Perfect storm.

           I suppose I shouldn't complain, for there's some of us out there whom never get a day off, Single parents for one. Their days off are frothed with home and child care needs, I know the picture of their perfect day off would be when Grandma comes over to baby sit or help, and they get a little time away from what seems the Perfect Storm.

  Enjoyment anyway you get it.

         I love to write , and I love to read so I get my enjoyment from reading & writing Blogs. It relaxes me, but alas my time for doing this is short. Since, yep laundry awaits & chores left undone from my last day off still await my attentions. So going to a concert, or a festival, even a walk around my apartment complex will be put down the list even further.  If you have the luxury of having two days off together, please for my sake find a way to plan them so you can get enjoyment any way you can. Go to Six Flags, Grant Park Zoo, Spring Fest, and send me a blog telling me how good it was just to have time on your day off. And get enjoyment anyway you can.......Trippy.            

Thanks to all of you who asked after me the last week and a half.  My father had some emergency surgery and I was at home with my family.  I think this was the first time in a few years that we have all been in the same place at the same time. We were only allowed to see him for a few minutes every 2 hours and it seemed that time was bending faster and slower all at the same time.  It took forever for 2 hours to pass but then before you knew it, the last visit of the day was already over.  I'll tell you this though, sitting in a waiting room for 12+ hours every day can make you very restless.  So, I made 3 trips to Jo-Ann and crocheted dishcloths, and hot pads, and even a giant yellow coffee mug to hold stuff on the kitchen counter.  I was handing them out all around.  Just needed to DO SOMETHING.  You know what I mean.  It was so difficult to leave but it is good to be back and busy.  I really appreciate all the e-mails and messages. 

You guys are the best.

They are the original hip hop kings -- the Motown of the Hip Hop generation!  Rap royalty was in the house on Good Day Atlanta....Wow--Im a huge Old School Rap fan--I grew up in the heyday of rap music in NY--where it all began...And we had the pleasure of having some of my favorite old school artists on the show--and the official hip hop ambassador Fab 5 FREDDY...Kool Moe Dee and Chubb Rock all in the studio at one time...

Chubb Rock aka the "Chubbster" is an amazing story--Ivy league educated at Brown University--the Chubbster was taking his Medical School entrance exams when he was offered his first Rap tour...He managed to get a post graduate degree at Columbia but still chose to follow his other passion--music!  And the rest is history--hes one of the most recognizable voices in hip hop now and then a true legend--And he has atlanta ties with his 404 Music distribution deal...he's also a great dad with a child thats Yale bound....

Kool Moe Dee says hes been married to rap music for more than thirty years...From his humble beginnings wtih the Treacherous 3 to an amazing solo career...And he was the first rapper to ever perform on the Grammy's....A true pioneer and legend--with Songs like Wild Wild West and Rise and Shine-two of my favorites...

And dont forget Fab 5 Freddy...hip hops greatest ambassador--credited as the man who put hip hop on MTV with his first video with Blondie...He then went on to host Yo MTV Raps the show which all the other shows and networks copied...He now working on a website Placetobe.com an interactive networking site... Smart talented and driven he is one of hip hops true building blocks and the man who helped make hip hop a billion dollar industry...

Runner up so what! He's having more success than many of the Idol winners!

Clay aiken is a multi platinum success story from the pages of A-I...He has just released his new album on my way here...The 29 year old Raleigh native is just as easy and fun to talk to as the guy next door...He has a real easy demeanor that lets you warm up to him right away....If this new album is anything like the 2003 smash hit double platinum debut measure of a Man and Merry  Christmas with Love which went platinum in just six weeks after its release! 

Clay is the real deal and so is his new album...I am sure his entire legion of fans will be heading out to pick up his new album right away....and by the way Clay hasnt been able to watch American Idol in the last three years...Huh?  you are kidding me--nope wow must be nice!!

Oliver North one of the most well known and controversial members of the Reagan Administration has written a new book--American Heros In the Fight Against Radical Islam....If you are a military buff or just an ordinary citizen--this book takes you inside the war in Iraq...

Oliver North takes us inside this continuing conflict and gives you an up close and personal look at the conditions the soldiers are dealing with in Iraq...From Fallujah to Baghdad the sandstorms--the intricate weapons and equipment to the all our firefights Mr. North reminds us of who the real heros are in our society and that we would be supporting every single soldier fighting for our protection...

Regardless of your political stance--the definition of hero from Mr. North is a person willing to put his life on the line for the benefit of others!  Thats each and every young man and woman fighting for a safer and secure US and a new and better life for the citizens of Iraq...
