by the way
if i know you well and it seems like i’m explicitly not acknowledging or hugging you in person…or if i don’t speak to you in public, it’s not a coincidence. i really don’t want to know you, but i don’t want to be rude and don’t feel it’s anyone else’s business if/that we have beef (whether you know it or not)
i do, however expect you to take...

the only reason
we say: he/she hurt me..did me wrong…is because we let them in too deep, let them come too close, or wanted them to come closer than they were interested
they didn’t stab you/us/me…we just wanted them to care enuf to take the knife and we’re disappointed they didn’t fill that position

about a guy 2
i was talking with my sister the other day (by the way, it makes me immensely happy to be able to say (more often than not these days) that i was chatting with my sister, or laughing with my sister….it’s taken us a while to crystallize, if you will :))
…back to the sister talk
we were talking on christmas day about my brother (who i also love, but he’s a little (read:...

mothers
turns out, you learn unconditional love from this one relationship more than any other in the WORLD
(where does this line of reasoning come from…today?)
allll day i’ve been asking my mother to come look at these pics that later she will say i didn’t show her. and then a little bit earlier she says i’m set in my ways. she tries to “help” me or make suggestive...

arinmaya-made: a photo journey
…so a few months back, Eagle Nebula, a great friend of mine and AMAZING photographer (who just also happens to be a DOPE emcee) took some time away from creating and promoting her new Love Bomb EP to shoot my models (me, my sis and the photog’s beau) in some of my beautiful (if-i-do-say-so-myself) arinmaya-made scarves and armmitts
the day was surprisingly beautiful for the fall and...

about a guy
so last night i was talking to my friend about this guy i like/d earlier this year
perhaps one of the longest relationships i’ve had (read: not long)…i won’t get into numbers here. who’s counting anyway?
the thoughts i keep having about this situation in particular are this, and are based solely in my undying (however perhaps somewhat lofty) addiction to being in love...

for all that you have endured & all that you have survived.

you are ALL beautiful. & this world is hard on you, but your resilience is admirable,
honored, respected. so this is to all the black men i’ve met & too those i haven’t yet.

there's this story
in the bible (don’t ask me the scripture exactly because i don’t remember) about this woman who has 10 coins, and she loses one. so she tears up her entire house, just to find the one coin she lost. because she valued that thing so much that she took the time to go after it, and wouldn’t accept failure at not having that gift back in her hands.
some could argue she was wasting...

time magazine takes...time
so i was talking to my good friend (one of my best…one of the best) earlier today. we were both psyching ourselves up to clean our apartments and i was saying how i just don’t have time to read the magazines that come to my house. i get a few as i got sucked in at the end of last year when completing an unrelated purchase. (that’s how they get you!)
i have like 4 subscriptions...

i'm not sure..but i sure am thankful
today was friday
now today is saturday, though my head has not yet seen my pillow again
my doctor/acupuncturist (she’ll be making regular appearances here now, as i’m paying the better part of my income to her practice and changing my life practices!) said that “science says” our most optimal time to sleep (our=humans) is between 10 and 8am. something like that. basically...

on getting older/growner
so i’m sitting at my desk at the job i mainly dislike…and i don’t know what it is exactly, but i feel like as we get older (in general) people (or at least the people i know) tend to go through a change in a way that causes their tolerance for mess they don’t want to be involved in to DIP
and i mean significantly
and i’m almost there
i was at this seminar/talk...

on eating, and other interruptions
first of all, i should be in the shower by now, but i am thankful for my moments of doing ONLY what i want to do, which right now, is blogging. it makes me happy when i get small signs that i’m not the only one going through the things i’m going through. someone likes a post. you FEEL me. thank you!
but a quick note about eating… my (new) acupuncturist says i have to eat better....

just a thought
i don’t know why people try to be something different than they are… and you know how they say: “it’ll all come out in the wash” ??? it’s true
all i’m saying is, once a criminal, always a criminal
it’s unfortunate how some things will always stand against people who don’t do right

don't make me pull out my WORD....!!!
Psalm 37:27-28, 32, 34: Depart from evil and do good. So you will abide forever. For the LORD loves justice and does not forsake Godly ones; they are preserved forever, but the descendants of the wicked will be cut off….the wicked spies upon the righteous and seeks to kill him…wait for the LORD and keep His way, and He will exalt you to inherit the land; when the wicked are cut...

some may say
this is the life i chose for myself
i remember in college when i decided to pledge, wondering at some point “is this what it’s like?” or “is this what i want my life to look like?”
just the other day i was speaking to another musician friend who i trust to the end (artistically, creatively, business-ly…) and she said i need to sit down and decide what i want...

mice in the walls bka SOUNDS
stop.
wherever you are, stop. and listen. if you’re lucky, you’ll be able to listen to what could potentially be silence but never truly is
the sound of rain falling outside your window can you stand it? is it japanese torture to you? a shower at close proximity, though you live alone? an ending, or a beginning? a call to the boss to say, sorry—i’m “siiiiick”...

love went lost (versus 'no love lost')
my love got lost
somewhere between ‘i got it!’ and ‘it was just right there…!’
my love got lost. snuck around some corner someplace
crawled off, upset with me for some reason i still don’t know
wound itself up tight in a ball
may be under my bed waiting for me to get on my hands and knees
like that lady in the bible with dem coins
love won’t be...
