on tour

I was talking to my brother the other day and I was tellling him how tired I was. Not mentally tired but physically tired. I needed a nap that day.



Then it dawned on me. More than any other year, this body has logged some miles on it. I'm not really one that travels a lot but I do like to travel. I began to think of where I've been over these last 9 months...


Minneapolis

I was back and forth between Minneapolis and Atlanta for 6 months for work.

South Carolina

Me and the fam drove to South Carolina to visit my homegirl, Jimmell to celebrate her 35th birthday during the Memorial Day weekend

Kameron on the Slip N Slide

Washington, DC

Me and the fam went to DC to visit Russ and Lisa for a few days. It was Brandon's first flight. Surprisingly, he did very well on the plane. We had a ball in DC.

Washington Monument

BRANDON is chillin with Russ and Lisa's lil angels Allison and Dylan

Me and the younginz at the Washington Monument

Disney World

Me and the fam drove to Orlando to visit Mickey Mouse for the Labor Day weekend. We also attended the MEAC/SWAC Challenge football game as my alma mater, South Carolina State University defeated Grambling

Magic Kingdom

Indianapolis, IN

Mrs12 and I went to Indianapolis to check out the Circle City Classic.

Lucas Oil Stadium

In a sense...I have been on tour. LOL. Nevertheless, I feel blessed to be able to travel...especially in this economy.

The tour is NOT over. There are upcoming trips to my hometown (Florence, SC...can't wait), NYC, and LA for my 37th bday celebration. Who knows...the tour might end up in YOUR town. If you see me in the streets, buy me a drink! LMAO!!!

"I don't like the way this sounds."


These were the words coming from one of the flight attendents on the airplane that I was on the other day.

The flight attendents were passing out peanuts when the pilot ordered them back to their seats. Apparently, we were headed for some turbulence. I've never been on a flight when they had to tell the flight attendents to sit down. My mind began to race. Heart started pumpin a lil faster. You see...ole 12kyle hates turbulence. I want my flight to be smoooooth. None of that bumpy stuff. Unfortunately, I have no control over it.


I remember flying back from my honeymoon in Jamaica. We hit some bad weather. I mean, thunderstorms and everything. I can't lie...I was shook. Mrs12 found my "fear" to be soooooo amusing. So, as I was having a fit...she was laughing. She told me it was ok. As the plane rattled and dipped, she held my hand (I see y'all laughin' but this shit aint funny...lol).


Back to my flight, I remain calm as the flight gets rocky. I remind myself that I'm safer in the air than I am behind the wheel of a car. I also remind myself of the dream that I had 7 yrs ago. In the dream, I'm on a plane and it crashes. There is only 1 survior in the wreckage. And guess who it was...ME!!!!


Don't get it twisted...I don't ever think about dying. I plan to be around as long as Moses was. LoL. I'll prolly go out in my sleep real mellow like at the age of 135. So please understand...if y'all hear about a plane going down and I'm on it...dammit y'all betta come and find me. Because I'ma make it!
