Relatively Good Day

I haven’t laughed as hard watching TV as much as I have in a while through tonight’s all star NBA activities.

I think there was a time in my life when I would have been mad. Mad if I wasn’t in the club on a Saturday Night. Mad that I wouldn’t be a part of the storytelling at the basketball courts on Sunday afternoon. Or storytelling at break time on Monday at school.
Nowadays I am mad when I am forced to go to the club on a Saturday Night.

Looking back, I think I was mostly mad at my Dad at the time*. Actually to be fair he did not restrict us from going out**

Parents are devious people tho! I was given a certain amount of freedom through my teenage years. Nowadays because of that I am not wiling out (Unless I am operating in super hero Mode) or as easily fascinated by happy hours like most people my age.

Me and my original Co-Defendant*** still went out tho. This was a really really long time ago and she is married now. Just like pretty much every1 else I grew up with!

I am not knocking going out to the club. Here and there I like getting my GQ fresh on and dancing. I just feel like I have done my tour of duty. I would rather go to a bar or lounge with live music or dinner with friends. I have mad respect for dudes I see in the club when I do go that are in their 40’s and 50’s.

I want to do it, but I agree with one of my best friends who is a professional Athlete****,
Who when we where talking about the whole clubbing phenomenon was like I dnt have enough energy to go out that often.

I’m not just about to settle down. But more often than not I would rather stay at home and read the odd Terry Pratchett novel, than go out. I just got, “Battle Field Earth” by L. Ron Hubbard, so that’s what I am doing tonight. Even when I do have a Girlfriend I dnt have much time to me, so I am enjoying time like this.






* My only source of Income
** Just Wouldn’t give us money to go out.
*** My older sister
**** Yes Yes I know how many people does the Tung knw that are professional athletes? Why not just Mention his name???

Super Hero

Im Tunga Taks B&*ch! Enjoy Yourself!

Charlie Murphy!

The Tung has decided to make his superheroness official.

By day The Tung is a grumpy, slow, and often easily irritated office employee. Sensitive to light, loud noises and is usually dehydrated*.

By night the Tung is legendary for consuming large amounts of alcohol and mixing various drinks without throwing up. The Tung has also been documented in his efforts of attempting to break dance and do the running man while intoxicated.

To date the The Tungs only weaknesses are Work, Eating Okra, Strippers, Doing Laundry, Ex- Girlfriends and early morning conference calls on his day off.

Actually the Tung hates mornings and is trying to get Oprah, to get rid of morning’s altogether!



Im Tunga Taks B&*ch!




* For the uninitiated, its called a hangover.

War Zone

It’s ugly out there!

Like seriously. It’s a hella cold. I am aware of the fact that it’s worse in some places, but who cares! None of those places are New York City!

I will say it now "The Tung" is cold!

I have a friend coming to visit "The Tung" this weekend. There is a growing concern that this person may be harboring secret intentions of wanting to be shown around the city.

Right now "The Tung" does not want to go outside!!!!!!!!!!!! Unless off course he is getting paid!*

Granted it stopped snowing, but it is still below freezing, so u gotta have ur Winter Jackets, hats, scarves, boots, and thermal underwear on**! The snow has turned into that ugly brown, from all the filth in N.Y city. The snow is kinda deep too, so going outside without ur new pair of Timberland's on is out of the question***.

What made today extra interesting was that the sun was shinning. Standing in a building looking outside you would think, it was a lovely day, but the wind was awesome! Once u stepped outside it would become awesomely clear, that It was awesomely**** cold! A lot of the snow has turned into ice. Which is pretty awesome!

I will reiterate my point, "The Tung" was very very very cold today.


Later yaal






* Naturally anyone coming to visit "The Tung" tomorrow night will be shown this blog upon their entry into "The Tung's" apartment!

** If anyone decides to vist the Tung Tommorow night they may have to buy "The Tung": a new Pair of Timbs, Jacket, Hat and Thermal Underwear!

*** And anyone flying in tomorrow night from Texas better pay this bad boy. Or else his dumb ass aint leaving the building.

**** "The Tung" would like to state that Use of the word "awesome", was used to cater for the caucasian readers!

Creativity

The blog is official now! If you Google my name "Tungamirayi", the blog comes up.

I would like to take the time out to thank all 3 of you that read this thing.
If I make this thing funnier I project we can add one more reader by the end of the decade.

That's only 3 years away, we have to be more creative people!

In Miami, me and my my boy would hang out till 4 or 5 am in the morning.

After dropping me off he would drive to his bosses apartment, park in front of his car and block his boss in. So first thing his boss would have to do is wake him up. That's classic! There is no way your boss will get into work b4 u like that!I wish i had thought of that!

I Usually have to play dumb to get away with my own faults and mistakes*, like bieng late for work.

I need to find something similar to help me get to work on time. I'm not sure how i can adapt that one.

In high school there where a lot of cases of "hydrophobia" that popped up. Pretty much that meant that u could skip swimming during PE class, in the winter**.

My only creative claim to fame to date is that i took that concept, adapted it, went to a doctor told him i get a rash every time, i play in the grass. So this shady doctor thought about it for a minute, and came up with the brilliant conclusion that i was allergic to grass. Which pretty much meant i could skip cross country, and taking part in any Zimbabwean winter sports. This meant i could spend all afternoon at the basketball courts, and if anyone saw me there instead of at a sport i was supposed to be at. i had a note saying i was excused from playing soccer, hockey and rugby (all sports played on grass).

If only every1 else was more creative! Like why would they name a city as far east in the country as possible West Palm Beach???????? Where the hell are they gonna fit an East Beach City/County? That just sounds retarded! Maybe they should just name that rougue state of the United States run by Tony Blair East Palm Beach.

I am going to keep on focusing my on creativity here, maybe that will lead to me making money. If by some unforeseeable twist of fate, Oprah decided not to marry me, this would be an excellent back up plan.

* Not much acting required
** In my case, taking showers

lazy!!

Its a little past 4:30pm on a cold Saturday Afternoon.

I'm afraid to go outside, not only because its cold but i think the good people at blockbuster have a warrant out for my arrest*.

I have been falling in and out of sleep over the last two days. This bum attitude must to come to an end! At some point i am going to have to go get a hair cut, shave, pick up my shirts from the dry cleaners and possibly take a shower. Right now this seems like a tremendous amount of work to do before i go back to work on Monday morning.

For today, tho I'm still on vacation.


* Late fees

enecS ehT nO kcaB*

I am Disappointed.

I was expecting to see Micheal Bloomberg at the airport to welcome me back and screaming women wearing clothes that have my picture on them**.
Was it too much to ask for the city to stop operating in my absence?

Maybe when i marry Oprah ill get a little more respect.

Some bills welcomed me back tho. Well at least i think they are bills, maybe if i ignore them they will ignore me.

My friends here (Up North) are chuffed I'm back. I guess it might have something to do with the fact that i cant send sarcastic text messages about the beach bieng too hot anymore. I regrett doing that its really really cold here ryt now. To think a few hours earlier i almost missed my flight cos we where still having a few beers on Dania Beach***.

I'm still off work for a few more days so i can ease back into my schedule, and Detox.

Its good to be back home. I missed this place!

* My song for the moment, its by an Mc called One Be Lo. If you are trying to understand it try read it backwards.
** Just like ur favourite African President, coming back home from a shopping trip at Harrods.
*** An obscure little beach close to Ft Lauderdale airport. Its not as high profile as the other beaches, so its cleaner, has fewer people and u are less likely to get stressed about drinking ur favourite alchoholic beverage on this beach.
