Taking A Stab

Poem by Akeina

Prelude to this P,

Oem a feeling i can't recognize

overcomes me,

i'm feeling the beat,

i don't understand.

Do i embrace this

P,

Oem?

Do i embrace this beat?

I feel the beat of rhythm as I sway,

the P,

Oem is flowing from me,

flowing with me.

i am breathing, breathing,

breathless for a second.

This P,

Oem is sinking me deeply

making me feel ,

needed,

sweet,

as if my next breath creates the world,

my fingers are tapping out the future's plan.

Boom, boom, boom...

boom boom clap,

my shoulders are grooving to this p,

Oem

"I am not afriad.."

boom boom clap

so unencimbering

so fucking free...

the rhythm

and rhyme

is all yours

I can't set a beat

beacause

it doesnt belong to me

snap boom bam

clap sham poo....

HEHE!

Whoo!

Its the beat of this P,

Oem...

the beat of this rhythm of life...

Boom, boom, boom...

Today's title pic is creepily eerie...

I'm not even gonna talk about the crap at work where for being sick I may be fired..I'm just going to glance over that fucking foolishness and try not to scream too loud in the pillow later on...

I'm going to share a song to day...Check Visual Cliff... The most fab diva Jill Scott is the most awesome of awesomes....

"The Real Thing" by JILL SCOTT

You gotta do right by me,

its mandatory baby

Sweeter than your favorite ice cream be,

bask in my glory baby

Don't play no games,

that'll ruin thangs

And make me leave ya,

or mistreat ya and you

don't want that

Don't hesitate,

I could make you great

Like Cleopatra Jones I could set you straight

[Chorus:]I'm the real thing,in stereo

I got a little highs,

I got a little lows

Follow this,

melodic flow

I could make it shine,

I could make it glow

[Repeat x2]

I'm more than a toy for your satisfaction

I'm a pay-per-view for the TV screen,

your main attraction

Your phosphorus,

I'm your energy

When your lost,

and you need some focus

come see meI'll entice ya mind,

I do it all the time

In the mornin',in the evenin',

when the doves cry

I can feed you gut,

put you in a tub

When I turn it up,y

eah brotha you know

what's up

A little bubbles and some body rub,

turn off the water (drip drip)

Don't think about dessert,

I got enough

And a whole lot more to ggiivveee!

[Chorus x4]Glow Glow Glow...

When I turn it up,

yeah brotha you know

what's up [Repeat x3]

Glow Glow Glow...

(oooooooh)

Ways to Change the World

I read an article today about a transgender person who identifies himself as a man being pregnant. In my mind I have so many thoughts and fellings just running around I really cant tell you what exactly howI feel about uit. I wonder what he must feel like...It must be an awesome experience. He says in the article that it's hard for him to get doctors to help because they often refuse based on their religious beliefs and I'm thinking to myself these doctors are assholes. But then I think there are many things I wouldnt do based on my beliefs and if I truly as I often say want a society where persons are treated equally then I cannot judge these doctors by these beliefs (even if I think its ...:-@!) Its an amzing acheivement but in essence he is both a man and a woman so it is not that far fetched but it will be amazing to see how or if the baby is affected at all by this. Our species has been doing this for millions of years its just another stage of evolution isn't it? Who knows what the future holds for us...and when scientists undoubtedly get a man pregnant what will happen then...what will we be denying those children and in essence ourselves? Its a survival of the fittest ladies and gents and trust we wont be here forever.... You don't have to agree with me at all, thats the beauty of having your mind.

To read the aricle and see a pic of this pregnant transgender man HERE.

I Hate It...

i hate it when i say things and you don't even care. i hate it when you put down the shit i do because i like the shit i do. i hate it when i'm sitting right there and you make stupid comments. i hate that you don't support me. i hate that you make racist comments and then expect me to agree with you. i hate that i can't speak to you. i hate that you're never there. i hate that you only see me as 'what i can for you' not 'who i am'. i hate it that you suck major ass. i hate that i still like you. i hate that i cvan't say this to your face. i hate that you're unreasonable. i hate that yopu don't tell me when i'm being an asshole. i hate it when you say things to hurt me. i hate it that you make me feel this way. i hate it even more that you never admit you could be wrong. i hate that i'm always wrong at least to you. i hate that i can't hate you but sometimes i can't like you either. i hate that you make me smile when I don't want. *sigh*

Art is Life

Sometimes I think I'm the only award show fanatic left in the world or at least in Jamaica. I am the only one I know who will stay up and watch all 3 and half hours of the Oscars...All boring 3 hours of the Grammy's (and trust they were boring)...I'll even watch the frigging American Music Awards if it's on TV Ill stay up and I'll watch and then want to discuss what the hell happened on the show and why exactly it was really a wasted venture. Usually I only have myself to speak with though as I repeat no one watches them but me...*Sigh*

I've recently watched both seasons of a show called "Noah's Arc". The show is about four black gay men in and out of various types of relationships and how they live and love. It's not the greatest show I've ever seen, because though the story line is juicy, in the gossip sense, the acting often falls flat and makes the whole thing seem like a really really bad play. Can I say how I love it though?? I cannot express how it makes me feel good to watch the show. AWESOME! So much drama had me shouting out all sorts of things to the computer screen and feeling like I'm apart of the cast, a part of the friendship developed by these four actors. The chemistry between them is nice and though they're not all the greatest actors it's not that bad. I recommend it. There's no deeper meaning to the show though some can argue that it does give some incite into the OUT black gay man, though it does sometimes perpetuate the stereotype but still I mean you can't please everyone right? Its a good (I hestitate to say good because some people may only see the flaws of the show rather than just take it in but I'll go out on a limb) show and you can really get into it... My only question about the show is when the hell is season 3 coming out???

UPDATE: No season 3 but there's going to be a movie to be released in 2008 and there's going to be a wedding?? Who the hell's getting married? Oh drama how I love thee...

My fave Jill Scott made a statement about a poet name Nikki Giovanni...and reading some of her poetry has got me thinking that art is really what makes the world go round. Her poems are so refreshing and amazingly beautiful...

Kidnap poem by Nikki Giovanni

ever been kidnapped

by a poet

if i were a poet

i'd kidnap you

put you in my phrases and meter

you to jones beach

or maybe coney island

or maybe just to my house

lyric you in lilacs

dash you in the rain

blend into the beach

to complement my see

play the lyre for you

ode you with my love song

anything to win you

wrap you in the red Black green

show you off to mama

yeah if i were a poet

i'd kidnap you

AWESOME!!!!!!!! I know I've been a little late with my posts but I dont know the opportunities have been slipping me by and definately because I have no computer/internet at home it does not help. Well my b-day was a nice touch this year I turned the big 2.2 and I was happy to be a year older and a 1/2 centimeter taller I was good. I also got to excercise a crush of mine that I have on the lead singer of a Jamaican rock/alternative band called Crimson Heart Replica...Their sound is really awesome and she's so cute that hey it's a win win.

Thats about all I've got today except the title pic of course which is...

:-P :-P

Today seems like one of those days right? Just like I thought yesterday was going to be another day and then Heath Ledger dies... I know around there are millions of people dying in wars and of diseases that I see on TV and have occassion to see in real life when I step out of myself and really look at the people around me but if I started crying for them all I would never stop and so I cry and weep for Heath Ledger and Brad Renfro both dead before even knowing what the sun looks like on their 30th birthday. It's sad. Really sad...especially with Heath where he has a daughter, Matilda Rose.

Strange Day today...I was watching and listening to STRANGE FRUIT by Billie Holliday today... Got me thinking, dreaming, transporting. I was a black girl in 1940 looking up at a poplar tree seeing my father hanging dying, dead... I had written a poem about this about 2 years ago. Made me stop and think. I'm still thinking to this day and I can't find any solutions...

Love rain down on me... I've been living without love... It's amazing what the human mind can do, think, feel, be... I'm amazed everyday by the sheer beauty of people. Thats not the topic at hand though... The topic at hand is non existent love life... Seriously... I have a no love life...Is that my choice or is this how it really is? What do I lack? People would say that you need to like yourself before people can like you and it took me a couple years but I love me... I love me and I'm now wondering...OK I'm ready to be bombarded by the offers and the flirting because of my new self confidence...There isn't any though and I have to ask the question again of whether I'm choosing to be alone...Am I?

I'm going to promote a new artiste that I'm really feeling right now... Estelle a new artiste from the UK... "Wait a Minute..." is sick... I love new artistes who are creative and just seriously talented. Check out all her songs and make sure you get her album "SHINE" dropping in Feb. of 08

Speaking of February....ITS MY BIRTHDAY MONTH!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I turn the big 2-2... A monumental occasion because a couple of years ago I was lamenting when I turned 20 thinking damn I'm old but I'm young and taking charge...I getting older and it's not so bad...

Ladies and (some) gents guess what is back after a very long hiatus....Queerty Knows Best... Yes, Yes, Yes!!!!!

Meet Jason...Sweet Lord, Sweet Lord...

Jean Francois looks like he needs somebody to love and here I am...

Henry's pic was ver NSFW so I cropped it but he still looks !!HOT!!

Carlos makes me want to SCREAM!!!!!!!!!!!!

Akimat is possibly dying right now... Amit is...*sigh*

Remember ladies and (some) gents all men provided by Queerty and their beautiful Morning Goods section...those gay men really know how flaunt the flesh.

After all that hotness I'm winding down giving what I think is advice... Just love yourself this year and be good to people and when you go to work it's not to make friends its to make money so fuck the people who don't like you.

Today's cute title pic is

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Nothing Simpler than that headline... Happy New Year to all...I hope the new Year brings love and happiness to everyone...I'm getting so sentimental this holiday season it's crazy...I just want the best for everyone and everything...

Enjoy the final Title pic for 2007...

Christmas = Happiness!

I love Chritmas time...The air is somehow different and the days just seem more joyous...I don't know this is really one of the only times I can really say I'm happy...Happy to be alive, happy to be loved and happy to be loving. Good times, good times. Last year (can't believe I've been at this blogging thing so long) I posted things that i wanted for my presents in my Happy Birthday Jesus post but for this season i feel the spirit of partying and partying hard...I know it may not be very fitting for the season in some person's eyes but hey I'm young... (thats my excuse for everything).

Seriously though I don't just love it for the seasonal parties that litter the scial scene but because of the warm and fuzzy feeling. The coming together of family....I love my Mom and Christmas day is the day we come together and cook up a storm and a half feeding basically half of my neighbourhood. It makes me feel good to do that. It's an awesome experience... and thats why I love Christmas.

My workplace had their office party on Saturday... It was to be a blowout affair...Well it was over the top and the venue was nicely decorated under the Hawaiian theme...Though I do understand the route the party was going the atmosphere was working against it. The muddy grounds (ruined stillettos), the food was ok (not great, but free so thats at least a 5/10) I found that I had to be struggling to make my own fun. Akimat and I went and she's not the best person to impress so you can imagine what she was feeling...at least we were both bordering on the edge of drunk and fall over drunk so everything was bathed in a very colorful glow and we were laughing like fools. GOOD TIMES, GOOD TIMES!!!

Best Dressed of Male of the night for me was Nerrej, the shirt was a nice colour (orange, maybe peach/appricot and white) and a nice cut that fit very nicely with some design that I in my druken state could not recognize but seemed to fit the Hawaian theme, Best dressed Female of the night was a girl I saw accross the way she wore a blue and green sarong type dress in halter style, the colours were complimentary, the cut and style were very good for her ample size and her make up and hair were nicely done...she fit the theme perfectly for me and thus she wins my Best Dressed nod.

What I will boo (I have a post in mind with this title but I'll give a little preview) : -Asymmetrical hairstyles - it doesnot look good on everybody and if you notice everybody is wearing the same hairstyle as you...BOO! Also I'm going to boo glitter belts with your name on it and silk print dresses aren't my favorite thing in the world either. Everyboy and their mother's grand aunt has one...BOO!

I was trying to think of a way to end the post today... and I realized I haven't done Weh Yu Mean! in ages.

WEH YU MEAN?!

• Amelia "stop calling yourself MILK" Sewel...Yu alright?? Because I can't understand what di girl do yu so mek u sit her down and tell her when and where and how many times you and the Drippy one were having sex. WEH YU MEAN?! I am confused Amelia...Yu nuh have a kid...?You don't look that bad one sixth of the time you can find another man...Tek care of your kid Amelia and leave Smiley alone.


• Grammy Nominees for 2007 in the category of Best Reggae Album: Burning Spear, Stephen Marley, Sly and Robbie, Lee "Scratch" Perry as well as Toots & The Maytals. What about the dancehall artist dem whom have had good albums this year...Assassin for one I think had a good album but the main point is that every year when it comes to this category what you have is a bunch of old men and maybe one dncehall act thrown in...No disrespect but WHE YU MEAN?! Where's the Dancehall and let's not start the debate about which is better because seriously thats dated....as dated as the four fifths of the nominees above...
  
• Why exactly are jamaican artistes spending their hard earned (HAHAHAHA!) money on DNA tests? WEH YU MEAN?! Adijah you know you were the father...This novelty better wear off soon because I'm tired of hearing about it...Might as well go on Maury and get it done for free...


• Beenie...Moses...Mr. Davis...Every year when it comes to Christmas time you say NO STING for me...WEH YU MEAN?! Every year we see you on the bill and we see you perform on the show and now we have to wonder Beenie...is anything you say the truth? I don't think so...I love you Moses but you need to stop with the lies and deceit...


• Munga...Deva WEH YU MEAN?! What exactly are you portraying to the youths that follow you religiously?? Lyrical war is what keeps the music fresh, keeps us interested because we want to know what can possibly come next...but physically hurting each other really just perpetuates a feeling of unrest and disqueit among the youths who look up to you...me cant endorse that...


• JILL is COMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WEH YU MEAN?!! January 25th will see me at the Air Jamaica Jazz and Blues Festival to see the soul deep, mesmerizing Jill Scott perform... I'm literally screaming as I write this...YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's close to my b-day too so if I don't get myself anything else for the rest of the year I'd be happy because I saw Jill Scott LIVE!!!!!!!!

My fantastic and fabolous friend Icart is getting married on the weekend...I'm so happy for her... Married can you believe it?? It seems like yesterday we were still in high school...Well she had a surprise bridal shower on the weekend that STFO!!!! Awesome!!! Getting drunk and revealing secrets is a good way to spend your Saturday evenings...

I felt the need to leave you with a little something...so I've decided to change !!HOT GUY THROUGH THE CENTURY!! to !!HOT GUY OF THIS DAY!!...If you're smart you'll do a little research and get it...If not just enjoy the hotness... Today's hotness is due to the fact taht i am going through my asian phase...!!HOT GUY OF THIS DAY!! March 22, 1971...Will Yun Lee...YES! YES!

YES!!!!

Today's Title pic is cute...AWWWWW....

Changeling

I'm making some changes...I can't want everything in my life to change while I'm still the same person.

1. A. I am going to Japan in the summer of 2009. I am going to teach Japanese children english for a year or more. It's my dream to travel the worl and I'm not passing this opportunity up...


2. I am going to lose 70lbs by Dec 2008 and 90lbs by Mar 2009...not because of some vain idea that I need to be thin but solely because I don't feel healthy I fell overweight and with my family history fear developing a chronic illness like hypertension which my beloved grandmere is fighting and diabetes like my mom and maternal grandmother.


3. I am going copper. I'm coloring my hair in a copper tone because I like it and I think it may suit me. I love my black hair but 21 years of it has become unbelievably dull...


4. I'm piercing something...Prolly my nose...I don't know why I just know Ive always wanted to and theres really no time like the present.


5. This one is tentative because I'm not 100% sure...I want to get a tattoo...This will happen but I don't know when this will happen I can't say it will happen in the next two years as my other transformations...but it will happen...The first will be a dragon my lifelong fascitination has led me here. They are mystical, mythical creatures who make believe in fairy tales and in that anything can happen...


6. No more pity fucking party and juvenile behavior from me... No piddling around. I'm doing away with those friends by default. No need to keep that shit going. Some people should not even be in my facebook life. I'm turning into an inconsiderate person...somehow I feel like its time. I just hope my real friends can forgive me because I'll always be forgiving them.

I'm feeling like I'm on top of the world and anyone whos in my way better watch out because I'm a changeling converting to my new form. Nothing to fear but something new to embrace and basically if you don't like it you can leave... Nobody keeping you anywhere in my vicinity certainly not me. I'm a new being a new person even without these things as yet I'm already new. I'm not becoming a different me, I'm becoming ME...finally. I've been waiting and I realized that if I stood still I'd be getting nowhere just watching shit pass me by. Not anymore.

Today's Title pic is awesome and hard to find...

World AIDS Day...

Today is a day I wish we didn't have to celebrate, but I have to stand strong with all the people living with AIDS, surviving, just living life as it should be lived. I wish this day would just go back to being December 1st, 24 days til Christmas countdown but it never will. It saddens me, makes me want to cry when I think about the millions who have died and are dying from this disease.

It saddens me even more when I think that next to Africa the Caribbean is second in the world for new cases I'm think...WTF?? Ladies and Gentlemen what is going through your minds? HIV/AIDS is a preventable disease...PREVENTABLE! What the fuck is wrong with you? Seriously what could possess you to not use a condom with your partner...WHAT? Please let me know and dont give me any shit about decreasing pleasure and whatnot...Fucking is fucking...to me personally using a condom makes me feel more secure and increases any pleasure I may be feeling... Intelligence people is not only for some, everyone can eat from that tree..Don't be left in the desert...

I want to be aware and I have no problem asking my partner to go do and HIV test with me. Contrary to popular beliefs you are not distrustful of your partner in fact doing an HIV test to me builds a stronger bond a newer dimension to you and your love...I had loved those "KNOWING IS BEAUTIFUL" ads they were so true. Its a beautiful thing. ANd if it can save my life and the lives of the people I love. There is nothing wrong with that.

Today's Title pic is a poingnant double feature -

The second is my fave because if you look closely there's a Caribbean flag in the center of it. AIDS is not a death sentence but PREVENTIOn is alaways, ALWAYS better than cure.

I Was Going to Write Today....

I was going to say something about this guy I met online I really was going to write today about the stuff thats been bothering me. I really was going to write today....But then I stopped and I thought today...haven't done any real thinking in awhile just going through those motions again. Get up, go to work, come home, lament (silently of course) about what I haven't got to read, sleep then do it all again the next day. Absolutely marvelous day I have right...? Right... I'm feeling me some Jill Scott lately and of course another book has hit the horizon that I want to get my hands on it's called MIDDLESEX by Jeffrey Eugedines. A book about an intersex guy and greek tragedy is just too intriguing for me to pass up... Anyone willing to sponsor me I'd appreciate it.

I remember when I first started this blog and I was so excited. It was like a diary...only on a computer (yeah I was lame) but I loved it and I still love it...It's on the list...I have a lot of lists and this list I refer to is the list of things I absolutely love unconditionally... First there's Mom...then come books (a little strange perhaps but Ive never professed to being anything more or less) ... then comes the internet and by extension my blog.

I've discovered an opportunity to move to Japan for a couple years to help teach Japanese children English..I mean how awesome is that?? I'm just hoping that all things positive are flowing my way and I get to go and expand my horizons and my vocabulary. Wish me good luck...I don't know what to think I'm really excited about Japan and I'm thinking wow 2 years away from Mom and all the things and people I know...I guess this is really what they cll Growing the fuck up....

Do we really need another person talking about Britney Spears? I wish I could help her... You can only help people who really want to help themselves so ither she's going to seek the help or she's gonna die... Simple..

I've been craving like a pregnant woman Chinese food, Japan, men I can't have...It's been getting crazy... Out of hand...

Today's title pic is LARGE...

I Hate UWI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know, I know people really like to stress the "you need ejumacation" thing but I swear to GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!This place sucks assssssss................... Sucks major asssssssssssssssss.....

That is all...

I even have a title pic...

Just This Once

I watched "Wuthering Heights" this morning...The new version with Ralph Fiennes....Personally the older version is a much better version to me but not taking anything from Ralph, he was magnificent...The tortured tale of Heathcliff and Catherine... (HAHAHAHA!!!! click on the pics to find out what's so funny....) While watching I felt this urge, this need to feel the love they must have felt for each other. It was passionate and hot and devastatingly torturous...It was beautiful, a love that we often don't see. It rips the soul into pieces, makes you incomplete without your partner, makes you feel horrible and good at the same time... Thats some hardcore loving...Hmmm...makes me wonder about the passion lovers feel. You often hear that they were caught up in the moment, I've never been caught up in a moment, NEVER...wow I'm so lacking. I feel left behind. I'm a control freak, the only I lose myself completely in is a book I really get into it and thats why sometimes I get really clouded and thoughtful about stuff that I'm doing and why I'm doing the things I'm doing...Of course it depends on the book I'm reading. For example I read recently Naughty or Nice by Eric Jerome Dickey and at the end of the story I promised myself -

1. NEVER FUCK a MARRIED MAN

2. WOMEN can be their own worst FUCKING ENEMIES

3. DON'T TRUST ANY MAN (harsh but very true)

4. NEVER HAVE A 3-some with your BOYFRIEND and another WOMAN...

I guess you'll just have to read the book yourself to know what I mean but really I was engrossed and I was left feeling sickened and fairly disturbed by the shit I was reading...My fave thing about the EJD books is how he always writes a post note and it starts with the words "This is a work of fiction." It's my fave line and I understand what he means because alot of the times that line saved me from going over alot of edges. I become these characters and I feel what they feel (well...not everything they feel) but I'm there and it makes me wonder if I'll ever feel that for somebody. Wuthering Heights is the perfect example of losing control and wanting to lose it, to become insane for love and wish that insanity on everyone around you. Heathcliff cursed Catherine's soul to wander the earth to haunt him in some way so that he would not be alone...WTF? I was like damn not even wising the rest in peace bull shit...Haunt me forever the man said.... DAMN! I wanna feel that at least once... at least once.

Well on a lighter note I wanted to share someone that I've been lusting for for a while..I'm in my Asian phase...Meet Daniel Wu...

He is just a complete hotness...I'm shaking my head... Give me a hot Asian guy any damn day.... And you know what he is so fucking nice I'm gonna do him (wink wink) twice...i'd do him over and over and over and over...OK let's stop...

I think it's the lips I'm not sure I can't reallly pinpoint why I think he's hot I just do so... Whatever...

Today's Title pic was hard to find...

What's Happening...

Well my first forays into the new beauty that is me has begun the Eric Jerome Dickey book signing was fun...I did in fact get the Naughty or Nice (and got it signed) which was a good book not great but still good...It just reinforced the fact in my mind that people will fuck you up... as well as people fuck themselves up daily for nothing more than a piece of ass. Shame... It felt more like a short story than a Novel but I can't say I was really dissappointed. There was food and drink I do believe that I am absolutely in love with Rum Cake with Brandied Sour Cream I was curling my toes and I was on the verge of moaning as soon as that cake hit my mouth.. MMMMMM!....it was awesome...

I don't know Ive been feeling so different lately and I can't think why thats happening. I feel thinner even though I haven't lost any weight...I feel beautiful even though my face hasn't changed...I feel magnificent if essentially bored because I have nothing to read...I feel like a force not just a person... My life is changing and I don't know why...What's happening to me?

Todays title pic is hilarious...does anyone remember this show?

Surprise Me...

Damn...That damn Trey Songz got me thinking things that I definately should not be thinking... Damn..."Wonder Woman" got me feeling all tingly... DAMN!!!!! Did any one see that girl's ass...? WTF? Got me all biting my lip and shit... The man has got me curling my damn toes... I'm flushed... I need to get something and soon... DAMN!! I'm so damn horny...How can this skinny, thuggin like an emeff, tatooed fool have me in such a damn state? I don't know either... It's the fucking swagger, some dudes just got the right stuff to pull the swagger off...Confident emeff. Got me all hot and bothered...This state that i'm now in merely reinstates this feeling of lonliness that invades my body sometimes for example when I'm listening to this song...I wanna meet somebody and not that Im desparate (alright maybe a little) I wanna meet somebody...Somebody, somebosdy, somebody... I'm a realtionship type of girl I cant deal with this non-relationship state I'm in. It ain't easy to meet people you're interested in who's interested in you. Aslo interested in the same things you are because seriously I don't know how many men out there can really relate to a girl who loves to mix everything up. From books (Eric Jerome Dickey to Jefferey Deaver), to music (Trey Songz to Erikah Badu to Linkin Park to Nirvana to Dixie Chicks). I'm eclectic...that just means I like alot of stuff...and am bored very easily. Hit a sister up...she's looking...and searching...let me know...make me an offer...I'm a good catch and I'm definately like the mermaid from Splash I wanna be caught...

Going to see Eric Jeromre Dickey today YEAH! for me... thinking about buying a book too and you know I must love him if I'm willing to pay full price for his shit... I'm thinking about buying Naughty or Nice

but I also want Drive Me Crazy

and Chasing Destiny...

If push does come to shove though I'd prolly buy Naughty or Nice...Let's not talk about how Genevieve (the middle name of my daughter) completely fucked me over...Please why are the Best Sellers the books I hate?? Between Lovers, Liar's Game and now this one completely fucked me over...at least Between Lovers gave me something to think about gave me myself in a sort of twisted wish I'd never read it sort of waty and Liar's Game wasn't all that bad...but still not a fave of mine...I'm going to get my girl Ayiddas's copy of Genevieve signed cuz I know she'll like it...

Todays Title pic is...

The Real Thing

I wonder sometimes about true love...Damn never thought I'd be one o f theose people ever in life...you know those people...the eternal fucking optimists...Damn but I wonder about finding the beauty of it...Is it like a sharp pain? A bright light? A sweet song? WTF is it like...? Please someone let me know... I'm thinking it's like the sweetest song i've ever heard and all those nice things that just make you sit down and think and cry and the pain isn't really pain at all but a cleansing, a merging of heart and soul...It's life, it's beauty and it's a sharp pain, and a glowing light, a beautiful melody that only you and love can hear...I heard "The Real Thing" by the real thing herself Ms. Jill Scott. Damn but she's the "it" for me. The "it" and the "ish"... Just complete...Her songs, her voice is where it is at...(i know...) Everytime I hear her I question my own being, my own life and the things I can do to make me better to make this life just the absolute realness...The absolute of absolutes...I listen to her with my ear and my heart and that's what makes me strong and foolish and lovable and loving...I listen and I hear the strings of the soul...I hear life and beauty and love...I can't find the true love, the absolute realness but then again why am I searching for it...

If only my peeps would be so genoruos as to get me all four of her albums I do believe I'c love them forever as they would exist as that person I think about when I think of my faveorite things... my friend Axela got me the "Who's Jill Scott?" and "Beautifully Human" for my birthday and everytime I think about it I smile because she remebered and she knew that I would love that more than anything else in the world that's one of my favorite birthday presents to this day...I absolutley love that gift because it wasn't contrived like some jewellry that people give you it was a genuine gift... A genuine from the heart gift and I'll love her and remeber her always for that... Some people used to ask me why we were friends and I used to thnk how coulf we not be? In my head I used to call them judgemental assholes because they didn't know her...

The tilte pic for today is so absolutely fitting...

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

I finished the tale of Potter two days ago and I'm still feeling the beauty and mastery that was the seven book series. I refuse to give spoilers... The book was my favorite by far and the cover of the UK children's version is my favorite. Reading the book made me think about high school and our fascination with the boy wizard. The book really opened up a beautiful new world for me and my friends. It was also a great binding agent for us all, discussing and marvelling about the books ability to make us believe we were a part of the wizarding world. A beautiful end...even though I hate the fact that it has to end. These are my absolute favroite books of all time and closing that cover really tore me up (along with the stuff in the book of course). End of an era I guess...The movie franchises should end in 2010 and to think at that time I'll be 24 and still going to the theaters to see this movie. Over a decade of good reads and memories... God I'm so emotional.

Today's title pic is the cover I mentioned before.

The Lifting of the Fog

Spent some time just reacquainting myself with the Goddess that is Jill Scott...and as I sit here having Love Rain down on me I keep thinking that this soul of mine is...is ...sigh...I dont even have the words I'm so full of love and the last few weeks have been so eye opening and revealing...measuring. Making me feel strong and beautiful and more like me than anyone else couild possibly be. I'm living in this place now that's so far from the insecure, depressed 17 year old I was a couple years ago and I keep thinking what will I be like tomorrow? Who will I be in 5 years, will she still be beautifula and strong, will she be uncompromising as well as pliant as the 21 year old is today. I'm wondering about the kids I want to have, the children I want to give my all to making sure they know that love and life is here within Momma knowing that love will always be here. I keep thinking about him too...what type of soul will his be...? Will he recognize the glory that I am? Will I see the champion and lover in him? I want to be all that I can...With a smile on my face....Thant Jill is just the epitome of what I want to be...Her songs speak to my life, speak to my heart, transcends my soul... There's some really deep shit going on and sometimes if you're not careful you get swallowed up...What can you do to escape? Let it overwhelm you, let it all come down, feel everything at once and you'll ascend into a consciousness that you nefver thought was possible. The fog lifts and you see the world in a totally new light, a new way. It's a new life...

Bathroom Break

I wanted to write some glittering piece of foolishness that noone reads anyway right...but then I decided why? I'm alone here aren't I? Does my mother even see me other than her savior? I love her to death I swear to God but sometimes it's me alone seeing the real me. I have no pretty words, no sweet anythings to say about me...all I have all I've ever had is just this...This face, this body, this life, this... I love my life i just wish I wasn't living it all alone. I feel like if I break my leg now no one would be affected but me. I would have to struggle to get to work, then struggle back home, then sit and cry in my bathroom and ask myself why the fuck my MOM doesn't love me or why my father couldn't have tried to be at least a little bit of a DAD to me. I feel so inconsequential. I tried to think about whether I was depressed or not but I realized, I'm happy about my life. I love my career choice I love me and I love my mother (MOM and mother are two different people...if you hadn't figured it out) I'm just sad and alone, alone because i'm sad...I've got friends but at this point I call them friends by default...If you can't figure it out there's no help for you. I wasn't trying to isolate myself from anyone, I was taking a step back putting me at the fore...Thinking about my life for once and not how someone else's would be affected. I was thinking about how I feel about myself and about how I feel about some of the things my friends do and it made me feel sad. Thinking about not being able to help really, not being able to aid in the hurt that they maybe experiencing. I though about that damn E. J. Dickey's "Between Lovers" and though I absolutely HATED that book (only that one though I LOVED everything else...except maybe "Liar's Game") it got me thinking...Thinking about what the lead female character said about black men and women and the dynamics of that relationship. Thinking about what she said about the vaseline and anal sex. Thinking about what she meant and what these girls must be feeling while in that act whether it be vaseline or saliva its the same degredation and pain. I'm not talking about exploring the realms of sexuality with your partner either I'm talking about fucking for the sake of fucking...Kneeling and bending over for the sake of some man that is doing the same thing to some other girl. Thinking that they feel the humiliation of it all but can't stop, won't stop...refuse to lose. I've moved from the little girl who can't make a choice between Rum and Raisin or Cherry Cheesecake ice cream (I put my money back in my poclket and move the fuck on) I'm thinkg and feeling, chooisng between spiritual wellness, looking in the mirror and seeing more than my face. Seeing the reflection of a woman... not compromised, not sleeping around, wholesome (well not totally wholesome) TRUE....

No title pic today...no words of advice either..Just wishing I didn't have to be told...
