Look at this mess right here!

WTH? Ummm whats wrong with this picture? Ignore the today's forecast part and focus on the current conditions. *waiting* Done? Okay what was wrong?
Current Conditions (as of 11:52 AM)Today's forecast
°F | °C
ClearClear
84°F

Feels like: 85°F


 Ummm Why is it that the current conditions  is posted @ 84* F and FEELS like 85* F?! Who sits down and figures out this nonsense?! I mean really?! Rofl 

Can you imagine talking to someone about the weather like this:

You: Hey, you heard anything about what the weather conditions might be like today?
Person: Well it is officially said to be 84*F. But you know what? It feels like 85*F.
You: *Smile Blink Blink* Did you just say it feels a WHOLE degree more that it actually is?!
Person: Yup.
You: *Smile Blink Blink* Oooooh kaaay. 

*ROFL* Whew. I don't know why my husband  sitting here trying to tell me he can feel and tell the difference! He got my sides hurting something terrible!

Anyone can sympathize with the sufferings of a friend, but it requires a very fine nature to sympathize with a friend’s success - Oscar Wilde

You ever wonder what happened to people you knew a while back and haven't seen in forever and two days? Lol. You know, like a friend you once had, someone you used to kick it with. Or family you haven't heard from for years? How about an acquaintance? Good or bad. You ever just wonder? I once and again find myself in the, " Oh maan, I wonder whatever happened to *such and such*." mode. Don't lie, you know you have too. And it's not uncommon I'm sure. Life is funny I've noticed. It has been designed so complicated and busy. Yet it has the nerve to make you stop and think, "Heeey, I wonder how *such and such* are doing?" *Shaking head* Majority of the time I suppose *such and such* must be doing the damn thing following their dream career, raising a family, traveling and whatnot. I don't know. But what happens when you find out how they are really doing? What happens when you find out they aren't doing good. I mean not at all! Yesterday I had the pleasure of catching up with an old friend of mine whom I haven't conversed with in years. I was so proud to know she's doing well as I always expected. So my curiosity kicked in.  I asked her if she has heard from any of  mutual friends and acquaintances.  I knew she was better at keeping up with our friends than I.  

Klassy: What about Camron? How is he doing? Remember he used to always say stuff we never understood? LOL.
Friend: Oh wow, I thought you knew. He got killed three years ago. Shot in the head on a basketball court in DC. *sigh*
Klassy: WTH! No. No. No. Why?!  *sigh*
Friend: I know.
Klassy: What's up with Patrick? How's he doing? Did he join the military like he said he would?
Friend:*sigh* Nope. He couldn't get in because he has a criminal record. He was in and out of jouvie. He is sellin and saying ain't no other way in his case and that living in b-more ain't no joke.
Klassy:Stop!! Don't tell me no more. He was never the type to get his azz into trouble! Damn.
Klassy: What about Devin? How's he?
Friend: Gurl, He's going to jail. It was on the news. He stayed in as he said he would but something went down about him stealing weapons from the base he worked on. I'm watching it now.
Klassy: I'm done.  I'm to scared to ask about anyone else.


The conversation didn't get any better. People I used to know  are going through times of relentless tribulations. I mean the good people! The type of people with personalities that make you say," Yup, you gonna make it buddy. Someday when we grow up I'm going to hear from you or about you and how successful and happy you are." I feel dispirited. It's like their lives has changed so much than what I expected that it scares me. I mean am I wrong for thinking everyone was doing okay? 

Take this for instance -  Sailor Jailed for Gun, Ammo Thefts


*Shaking Head* I don't even know what to begin to say. As a young person, I can honestly say that I now see and feel the pain of how our parents hurt for us when we as young adults make the wrong decisions when we know better. Especially when we are raised with so much potential. WE KNOW BETTER!! Beginning today I will include my friends/acquaintances  in my prayers. I will pray He gives them wisdom, strength, knowledge, and protection to make it through this thing called life that He created. *sigh*

Good One!



Comment From Tanyetta:
"Please explain what Chunka lunks means? You know there are Yankees reading your blog now! LOL"
Response From Klassy:
:-) LOL Sure Mrs. Tanyetta. I'll be happy to answer your question! Chunkulunks is my version of the original Trinidadian slang Choonkoonks. Choonkoloonks is a popular slang used amongst many caribbean people as a term of endearment for one who is loved. It is just the same as using the terms cutie, sweetheart, darling, love, dear, and simply honey. Anyone you love, cherish, and have affection for, would definitely qualify for you to call them your "Choonkoloonks". Your hubby, daughter, and DJ for example, would be fit perfect for the definition for "Choonkoloonks". Also in my family sometimes we shorten the word to "Choonks" LOL With me so far? Same meaning, just shortened.

Anyhow you choose to use the term to your fancy is splendid!

P.S. There is a song. The name of the song escapes me..but the lyrics as I can remember some, goes something like," She's my choonkoloonks, love her everyday of mah liiiife. She's my choonkoloonks loving her all meh liife." Sorry that's all I remember. :-)

All About Klassy :

I just want to say since I'm spanking new to the blog world, thank you for taking the time out visit! *Hugs* I know, I know, you could've been on another site, answering ya phones, watching your favorite show/movie, working ( Lawd, don't get caught now. Lol ), or anything else. But your at my place! That's marvelous! Thanks again.

Okay, I would like to start of by saying... I'M AH TRINI TO DE BONE! All that is saying is that I was born in Port of Spain, Trinidad. I love my country and represent every dang time I get the opportunity! Lol. I came to the U.S. when I was younger, but you better believe I will NEVER forget where I come from. So alot of times you might read something you might not understand or a slang you are not familiar with.. trust and know I always explain what I mean or translate. :-) Good times! Being married to my best friend has been the highlight of my life. Every day has a little sunshine even when it rains. *Smiling* I love my husband. And I know he loves me. "Young love is such a beautiful thing!" we always hear. But you know what, "young love" "old love", it's all splendid. I'm just glad to be blessed that I've found love. I love caring for people, so it was only natural to work in health care. I have an easy job, know why? Because I enjoy helping people. My mother and her sisters (except 1) , grandmother, and great aunt, are in in the the same field. I feel so bless that she was thoughtful enough to pass her love, knowledge, and guidance that make her great at what she does down to me! Thank you mommy! Currently we relocated from the east coast to the west coast. Whew, and what a journey it has been. This blog will allow me to still keep in touch with my friends and family so they can also keep posted on whats going on with their "chunkulunks" lol. Lets see, just wanted to keep it simple for now. I believe I covered enough about me today, as we go along hopefully you will learn more about me!

*hugs*
