Just A Good Day
Well, I have to admit, I had the same reaction Randal did when he won. I was overjoyed. I feel like its a major achievement not only for him personally, but for Black people in the public eye. He definitely seems like one of the people that will help fix this negative stereotype Black men, and Black people have. I touched on that yesterday (read yesterday's entry, its a great preface).
If it were me, I would have picked the Jersey City project... but the casino project is just different, and something that very few people have a chance to be a part of. Real Estate is everywhere, big casino/hotel complexes like that aren't. Also, when Trump asked the last question about whether he would hire Rebecca, I have to admit I would have, but Randal's foresight makes him right. There is only one Apprentice... had she also been hired, the competition would have just continued into the workplace. However, I would have said yes because she is impressive, not as impressive, but to come that far... to be second best as a 23 year old... even if she didn't compare, that is an achievement.
Besides that, I found out I'll be travelling early next week, and I'm excited about a cruise I'll be going on in late April. Last time I was on a cruise I was in 1st grade. I don't remember it much at all, but the details I do remember are very vivid... such as our cabin number 4109 (mom and dad made me memorize it). It was a lot of fun, but I can only imagine how much fun it will be now, being old enough to sip. I hope they have catfish...

I watched it with my mentor from work (who happens to know Randal personally) and her friends at a restaurant in Buckhead... it was cool. And like you we were all very excited too.
I'm glad as f*ck that he said No to hiring Rebecca. Although I was mad Trump even asked, I was glad the decision was up to Randal - at least on TV. We couldn't let the Black mans shine go down the drain again! (think: American Idol... Ruben won, but they announced Clay was getting a record deal too - bullfeathers!) I'm glad he said no, so so glad. We finally have a win to ourselves, lol.
Yeah, holla at me before you leave town - AIM is cool, I'll be around all day tomorrow.
