WEEK 4: DUSTIN
THURSDAY, AUGUST 2, 2007

Hi Y'all!

So blogging or what have you is not necessarily my bag of chips, but the opportunity to sit at a computer and type again is something that I will be taking full advantage of. Also, the time to sit in a room, alone, with my thoughts, is a great value in the Big Brother house so using this time to its fullest will be fantastic. Expect a long one.

Safety.

Let us start from the beginning. It was down to Jameka and I in the HOH competition and I knew it was in the bag. Call it faith, intuition, psychic phenomena, zodiac alignment, Karma, ba gaga gong; I had a feeling. So here I am. Six days later, five grand richer, and much fatter.

Skoob, get to steppin on that treadmill. We're going on vacation when I get out of here. Just as promised :)

It felt really good to see my family in photos in my HOH room. I really miss my Mother, Father, and Brother so, so much. I hope they are all doing well, my family and I are close, but the distance between myself and them over the years has made our bond much stronger. The need for family is important to me now, where when I was surrounded by them, I took advantage of their availability. You know though, Pops, as knowing me for 22 years, and one thing we have in common is making fun of each other, you could have taken this golden opportunity to throw some terrible photos around.

I received a letter from home in my HOH basket and of course, it had to be from my brother. Darrik is the one person in my family who knows how to penetrate the soul. I completely fell apart. Embarrassing? Absolutely. A man of few words he is, but Darrik, I have to say, you did it to yourself. We all know, When I'm a disaster, you are too. Thank you for the words of encouragement, you are just the person I wanted to hear from. Take care of Mom while I'm away. Miss you bro.

Safety.

This was supposed to be an easy breezy week in the BB house, but yet again, SOME people decide to make it harder for everyone. Though at the end of the day the decisions made this week did fall under my watch, each move was a collective decision made by the LNC. I feel good about the way things panned out. Kail playing pawn for me this week was a bold move for her and I. She put a ton of trust in me and I'm glad that everything worked out in my favor for it. She, inevitably, will work in my favor in the future weeks to come. Jen on the other hand, we'll get to that mess later.

Safety?

Nick going home this week is a move that goes against my original plan as HOH, but hey, no sweat off my back. Someone's gotta go each week. Sorry Nick, I like you, but your time here is up. You will be missed. Easy on the eyes that one....easy on the eyes...

This week was a good time for me to kick it in my room and let loose a little. Dick, as outgoing HOH from last week, kind of ran the show. weird....NO. Let the pompous asshole run his mouth and put a target on his back again. It takes the heat away from me. I'm not a man for making enemies or starting big show drama; so go ahead Dick, carpe diem! You only live once! Make an ass out of yourself while you still have a chance! Every move I made this week was overshadowed by his idiocy. Hopefully, I will walk out of HOH reletively unscathed.

I saved Zach's ass in this house for one more week and that lousy excuse for existence should be kissing my ass til he walks out of here. I've got kind of a sour taste in my mouth about not getting him out, but what's done is done, he can wait, and mope, and frown, and sink himself further and further away from the house. ESPECIALLY now that Nick will be leaving.

My relationships with certain people grew stronger over the week. Eric, Jameka, Amber, and myself have all formed a bond on our intentions in this game. I really see the four of us moving forward together and it makes me feel so good to be a part of a group of people who I admire so much. I think strategically and personally, they are the 3 people who I value the most in this house. I really hope we can make it to the end together.

Well, I can't thank life enough for bringing me here, it is truly a blessing. Being in the BB house could not have happened at a more opportune moment for me and I am so grateful that I am still here. Things are only going to get more interesting here and I can't wait to see what's to come.

Well, I'm off. My tan is fading and I have to whizz! I hope that the outside world is doing decent? Take care all and keep watching for more ridiculous outbursts, catchy twists, witty humor, and me! Just kidding about the "me" part. Okay, half kidding.

I never mentioned anything about Jen because I don't have all day. I mean really, let's not set the bar too high for the human race Jen.
