Thirty Something...



It seems like just yesterday I was 18. Shooting basketball at least 4 times a week, rarely sleeping, and my johnson ramming the insides of some random chick who's name I couldn't remember.

This past Sunday I turned 30 years old. Blah. I've only played one real good game of basketball in the past year, I am routinely sleep before 9:00 and my johnson, well much hasn't changed in that department except it's even harder to remember names.

I've heard of people crying and getting depressed when they turned 30 but I haven't really been all that reflective until now. Thanks a lot Blogger. One of the reasons I haven't blogged in a minute is because I convinced myself that I was too old to be playing around on this thing. It was taking up too much of my time that I could've been doing something more constructive.

So for the past few weeks I've been doing research and writing up my business plan to start my own business. Since I have diagnosed myself with ADD I am sure it's going to be hard because as we all know I lose focus quite easily. My random thoughts are a thing of legend! But I'm pushing myself harder than ever. I've been getting up and running every morning and I am trying to eat healthier. I am proud of myself and plan to continue to complete my goals.

There was only one problem. Ever since I can remember I've been a performer of some sort. I was always the funny one in my house and in the neighborhood. When I got to high school you'd routinely hear me and my brother's name called in the morning announcements. His for football and mine for winning some acting award. Yes I am the 3 time regional and district Actor of the Year back home. Hold your applause until the end of the post. Until I started this blog and created the Ddot the King persona that part of me lay dormant. And I again have tried to bury it convincing myself that no grown man should enjoy making up and embellishing stories for others enjoyment. For the second time in my life I was wrong. I love writing. I love coming up with this stuff and that's regardless of whether anybody else likes it or not.

I am going full steam ahead with my plans to work for myself but even that will never fully quench my passion for writing or being creative. So whether it's this blog or another one or writing a script for a movie or TV pilot I will always have to release this nonsense bouncing around in my skull. It might not be as regular and it might not be what some of yall are used to but it'll be fulfilling. So I'm done focusing on "getting old" because I'm still a young dude, I've just been around for a minute. So yall hold on to your seats because the new and improved King is back for the first time...

Ddot the King said...

Carmell said...

Carmell said...

Carmell said...

yeah it doesn't bother me that i will be 30 this year. just another year.

Carmell said...

you didn't play sprts in high school?

Ddot the King said...

I played football one year but it took up too much of my "girl chasing time"...

TTD said...

really? i woulda thought football woulda helped w/ the girl chasing.. matter fact.. bring them to you so you wouldnt hafta chase 'em...

happy belated birthday (again) - damn you old as shit! LOL

Ddot the King said...

Well Tiffany football players do attract a certain type of female. But the really funny guy who can do more than just run fast is also attractive to a large population of chicas.

Ddot the King said...

Thanks Angie B.!

Ddot the King said...

I think you meant to type "sexy" and accidentally typed "nerd". It's ok I know you have a problem with spelling.

Carmell said...

forget you D!

chele said...

Happy Belated Birthday! You handled 30 alot better than I did. Must have been a chick thing.

Drama Kween said...

I read a lil, i'll read thew rest now, I had limited time to work with the first time...

Drama Kween said...

ok, now that i have read it...I SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FEEL YOU KING...but don't ever try to call me out again about not reading your post...Mr. Funny Guy...hmmm maybe I can include you in my improv theater project I wanna do...it'll be like in living color, mad tv, snl but live on stage and no cameras (yet) and unscripted....

Ddot the King said...

Yeah Chele it might be a female thing. It just really wasn't a big deal to me. Besides 30 is the new 21!

Ddot the King said...

Sounds interesting Kween. Keep me informed.

Drama Kween said...

i will once i can get the idea completely clear...

What do y'all think...would you go to a theater spot that was somewhat set up like a club (SOMEWHAT) that's open thrus-sun with unscripted comedy everynight (some script stuff here and there) and once in a while pull someone from the audience to participate...you can order food too because it'll be a restaurant also...hmmmm ok my ideas are flowing rapidly need to take to someone who can make this happen...brb

Lāā said...

So are you saying that this whole blog is just an act? You really aren't the jerk that you portray?

Ddot the King said...

Well Laa it seems as if though you pick up on the meatier parts of my posts. LOL!

Ddot the King is a part of me but it's not who I am on a daily basis. At least not all the time.

Drama Kween said...

WHATEVER...sike...u r prolly some boring joe who's anti-social due to a fear of embarrassing yourself...like me

SomeOne said...

Good luck on the business plan

Clay said...

Ddot the King said...

It's Ms. Beaverhousen, right?!



It's really not all that bad Clay.

TTD said...

i hope i dont feel like that when i hit 30... 6.5 more years to go! think we all will still be blogging then?

Ddot the King said...

Feel like what T? It's really no big deal.


If I'm not blogging in 6.5 years I'll be sure to log on see your thoughts on "getting old"

SomeOne said...

o i must be special, he remembered....

TTD said...

i know u didnt dread it.. but a lot of people do... and have a hard time dealing w/ reaching that age.. i just wonder if i'd feel the same way!

and dont log on cause i seriously doubt i'll still be around! lol

SomeOne said...

and d, i see you making your rounds today, commenting and all

Drea Inspired said...

Well, alright! Getting older is indeed a blessing...as black man in America making it to 30 is definitely a blessing. I look forward to getting older...building my credit, buying property, better insurance rates, getting better at being "grown and sexy"...it's all good.

I'm glad that you're putting your plans together...keep at it while you still have that fire and when obstacles come, remember that fire to help keep ya going.

Congrats on another year in this world! Peace and Prosperity!

TrinaBeingTrina said...

Hey there DDot:
Glad you are back and Happy Late Birthday!!!Mwabi just turned thirty. And I am fast approaching that in November. DDOT, I have always held that you have a helluva lot of talent and shouldn't let it go to waste. As your blog grows in readership, copyright some of the stuff cuz I guarentee there will be those who try to bite your lines and get famous doing it. You are funny as all hell, so keep it up and best wishes with your business plan. Me and the husband have been seriously thinking of that as well. Have a good weekend:)

Lyrically speaking said...

You don't even look thirty something, must be the water, lol. I still can't believe I just turned 35, it takes a while to get used. Nice blog.
