WHY Wednesday????

WHY Wednesday????

I'm exhausted stressed out and over-studied I feel like all I have done for the past three days is study and talk to my boyfriend...
I hope you guys can forgive me for not being on it this last week after reading my WHY's maybe you will understand...

WHY did the gurl I was training with decide the job was too crazy for her and quit after 2 weeks?

WHY does that put so much more pressure on me?

WHY do I have commitments tonight, tomorrow, Friday, Saturday and Sunday?

WHY am I excited about them all but know each one is going to have me exhausted?

WHY does "Lucky" drive me crazy so much?

WHY is it that when I see him I feel the way I feel when I first saw Beyonce's "Crazy in Love" video?
WHY have I not heard from "The Mexican"?

WHY am I about to call him from work?

WHY do I hope that everyone fills me in on what's going on with them?

Ok yall lets get started! Hope you are all doing good!

Foxy Hills 07304


Foxy Hills 07304
Episode 9
What's goin on...

Ok so last week there was a total of one blog entry and for that I apologize but it has been so overwhelming here in my new role.
I managed to catch up with most of you at least one time last week and for those of you that I have missed please forgive me.
What's up with me? Not a whole bunch...I'm back at work for the 3 day work week and I'm just about ready for Turkey Day!
My weekend was really interesting as Brother Starr from Washington DC made a cameo on the show this weekend taking on NYC without blinking an eye.
We had a good time and checked out a cute spot in Harlem called "The Harlem Tea Room" I think we are both still thinking about our delicious meals.
We hit a few of the old haunts and found one or two new spaces to invade.
Lucky found his way over to the Jersey Estates for some breakfast and a lil "sumthin sumthin" early Saturday morning. (Smile) Saturday afternoon we met up with Lucky again for some drinks before the evening officially began. After another night of drunken madness we find ourselves stepping into the house in the wee hours of the morning.......I found myself cringing at the sound of "The Fox Fone" ringing at 6am. I can barely see the ID and assuming this is some type of an emergency I answer and try to wake up only to find out that it's "604" calling me to let me know that he has received the care package and updating me on his weekend. I could have reached through the phone and choked the silly bloke but instead I did what any good brother would do and wiped the boogers from my eyes and caught up with my brother. All is well in the UK and in the US.
Not much else going on...I have to get my day started here but I just needed to update you folks on what's happening in my Foxy world. Oh the next few weekends should be interesting as well as I have a full house every weekend through Christmas Eve. I also have one or two tricks up my sleeve for you guys between now and New Years so stay tuned.
I promise to get back for WHY Wednesday!!
Welcome BACK to the work week!
Foxworth.............OUT!

Fade to Brown.....

Fade to Brown……

Well here it is the big day I have been waiting for, the day one chapter ends and another begins. Anxiety and excitement fill this moment in time. Tomorrow promises a challenge and a victory that I shall claim mine. “Change is inevitable’ has been my claim to fame. It is the statement I want to come to mind when someone mentions my name.
For those that I love and those who love me…I am just a reflection of you all a reflection for the entire world to see.


Ok this was not meant to be a long drawn out poem and I realize that it is quickly turning into my next rap song so let me just say thanks t
o everyone that supported and believed in me in everything that I have done. My best work is still to come!

You guys know who you are and you are with me everywhere I go…..

*raises coffee cup*

“Here is to the end of one chapter and the beginning of another”!

Oh, the book is called “How to be a legend in 5 Foxy steps”!

Today I Fade to Brown……Its time to move on…..


Till next time Keep it Grown and Keep it Foxy!

Why Wednesday???? (Fall Eight)

Why Wednesday????

Ok so this is going to be last WHY Wednesday from my cubicle in my soon to be old office.

Let’s get it on…..

WHY did everyone give me GAS with their comments yesterday?

WHY did "Lucky" think that was cute?

WHY don’t ex-boyfriends just go the f**k away?

WHY
was Happy Hour last night a trip?

WHY did my old VP show up to wish me good luck at the new job?

WHY did I have to come back to work and sober up before heading home?

WHY do friends want me to come to DC this weekend?

WHY does American Airlines want me to go to DC as well?

WHY am I gonna miss my team sooooo much?

WHY did a friend call and say they had a birthday gift for me?

WHY
is my gift two months late?

WHY do I have to go all the way to Long Island this morning?

Ok that’s it for the show….Let’s do it yall!

The X-factor.....


The X-factor…….

Wasn’t sure whether or not this was worth blogging about but fuck that this is my show!

Its 6am Tuesday morning and I’m at my desk HOT!!!
“Lucky” is meeting up with his ex-boyfriend this evening for dinner and that drives me up a wall.
Why can’t I be mature enough to be ok with this?
Why is it considered immature because I’m not?

I believe there is something to this because we have all been in my shoes and we have all been in “Lucky’s” shoes, where things may not have worked out with a past partners and we found ourselves to be better friends than lovers….How we introduce that friendship to our new partner is a very delicate matter.
In a Disney world ex-boyfriends would go into a land of “Leave me the hell alone” never to be heard from again, but oh no, not here in Foxyville.
If it were me I’m sure I would want “Lucky” to be understanding and I’m sure one day the tables will be turned and I will be in the hot seat.

I have no choice but to trust my baby and remember where his heart is…..


I really wish this was 5th grade where it is perfectly acceptable for me to go find the ex and "WHOOP HIS ASS" @ 3 o’clock and think nothing of it.
Unfortunately that is not going to fly @ 28 years of age. Please forgive me for ranting this morning; I know there is nothing that I can “really” do about this. I just don’t like it and I needed a place to say it this morning.

Tonight is the farewell Happy Hour my department is throwing for me I will probably be so drunk that none of this will even matter anymore.
Tomorrow is WHY Wednesday and WHY did I just realize I have to attend a meeting in Long Island tomorrow morning? WHY is that not going to stop me from getting drunk tonight?

WHY am I already feeling better about this ex-thing?

WHY am I growing up so fast?

Foxy Hills 07304

“Foxy Hills 07304”
Episode Eight
“Movin on Up”

The weekend went very well probably better than I could have expected. Friday night I spent team building with my group at work; it was my last event with this great team. My boss actually met “Lucky” for the first time it, I thought that was pretty cool. Saturday made 5 months for me and “Lucky Charm” we celebrated by enjoying pretty romantic lunch together flowers, wine yeah the Full Monty. Afterward I surprised him with tickets to see Beauty and the Beast on Broadway. It was indeed a great night of course I closed the evening out by getting an order of Chicken Wings and Fries from the local ghetto Chinese spot. Sunday I spent the day in the office plugging away as this is my last week and I want to go out with a bang!
However, while in the office I had a very interesting conversation with “Lucky” with regard to our current living situations and the possibility of us living together in the long run. Now after 5 months my baby is moving fast. However, I’m not mad at him he’s focused and when he wants something he moves on it, I admire that about him. I do believe that we should take our time right now though. I swear its one hell of a commute back and forth between NJ and NY to see him but I think it’s worth the trip. Anything that is to be a success requires organization and proper planning. I already have plans in place for the next 18 months so I likely won’t be moving anytime before then. I gotta say it’s nice to have someone who wants to be with you that much and I’m so sure that we will work through it and plans are subject to change at any given time. After work I went home and chilled out I pulled out a book containing printed copies of “The Foxybrown Show” since its existence and I have realized how far I have come from being the single bachelor / love hater to actually seeing a future with someone. It has been a long time since someone has made me feel like living with them is “Possible” I’m excited, nervous and above all hopeful. I see a bright future and I see a special someone in my life for a long time…..Even if he has to wait 18 months to be in my arms every night.

Ironic as this all is….”Red” called last night with a dilemma of his own, which I’m not certain is Blog worthy yet so I won’t give details. Just know this has been a very enlightening weekend. On the 311th day of 2005 I continue to learn and grow with a lesson waiting at every encounter, conversation, e-mail and phone call. I’m just “Movin on up”….Speaking of which let me start packing up as I only have 4 days left here…

Welcome back to the work week!

"Blog Mafia"



Blog Mafia….


I am the Godfather of an elite Blog Family. I will not go so far as to say that we are “Thee” family but we are the ones that everyone keeps an eye and an ear on.

Very well connected and very mild mannered, many love us and the others love to hate us. Allow me to introduce you to the cartel better known as my “Blog Mafia”




Foxybrown- The host of the show, The Tony Soprano of the team, knows everyone and everything but can’t beat a parking ticket to save his life. Unlike most Mafia godfathers will fight at the drop of a dime. I live where every mob boss should…Jersey “Fukkin” City always kickin ass and taking numbers….

Durty Redd- Second in command killing you softly with the slick beats on the 1 and 2. Soft spoken and silent when it’s time to attack, before you approach me it is wise to consult with him first. Where he resides,we don’t speak of…..

Overly Opinionated- Hailing from West Virginia my primary legal consultant, always has an answer to the question that has not been asked. If you push his buttons he has an opinion for that ass!

Blog Hater- Straight outta the UK my secret weapon…So secret I can’t speak of it however, the last person who tried to steal my parking space has a jaw still wired closed so he can’t tell you either….You’ve been warned.

BrownSoul- The Georgia Peach with the soft hand that keeps us in line and in prayer…..We have close affiliations with the church always good to have the clergy on your side.

The Goddess-The Owner and operator of our “family” hang out and office in San Diego “The Fox Box” she also doubles as one of the most amazing music producers the world has seen (told you we were well connected)

Separate we are individual powers that cannot be beat, combined we are a force not to be reckoned with….If you see us on the street, please do speak, do not be upset if we do not speak back as we have heard you but are not acknowledging you…
It’s nothing personal…..It’s just Blog Mafia!
We are always reading.....
Have a safe weekend……LOL!

The Foxybrown Trial

The Foxybrown Trial


This morning I make my debut in a courtroom in Mt. Laurel NJ to defend myself for a $25 tail light ticket. As I’m getting dressed this morning I’m realizing it would have probably been cheaper to just pay it but I refuse to let the fuzz hold me down so I will be out of commission for most of the early morning…. At 10am all you guys give me a silent prayer and hope they don’t take me down like “Lil Kim”. Ok I will do my best to get back to you guys today and give you one hell of a WHY Wednesday tomorrow.


Shout Outs!

The Mexican- Glad everything turned out ok and Wilma did not do any damage to our Summer Villa, I’m also sorry that your waitress at breakfast had to be named “Katrina” I guess you guys can’t get a break! I’ll call you when I break free!

Mr. Brian- There have been days when I have read 100+ blogs in one day there is no way you can give a heart felt response to every single item. I read I take what I need and I move on…Though there are a few that I read daily from beginning to end. Some days I don’t respond at all but like my “Blogging brother”, “I’m always reading”!

Red- You are a psycho for trying to get me to go to Barcelona for a weekend, I’m a psycho for going along with the plan. When it’s right you know it…..There are bigger things brewing for us right now!.........FOCUS! (Foxy logs on to Travelocity.com)

604- Why does it feel like I have not talked to you in forever? Red and I really wanted to crash the party in Spain this weekend but it looks like that is going to be a no go but we love you more!

Lucky- Baby you are truly something and I am really the Lucky one. I hope the coppers don’t try to lock me down because when I see you I’m gonna be like my niece and her favorite meal of Crabs and Fries “I’m gonna tear’d it up”!

Everybody with the “Free Foxybrown” t-shirts on “I love you more”

I’m not guilty….I swear I’m not…..
