should i

take a writing class? should i try to get a MFA in writing? i mean what purpose would that serve? if i want to write something, then why not just write; or would it be better to try to perfect my talents according to some teachers idea or something?? no one knows hell i don't know. it is just a thought.
i mean practice makes perfect, so it does stand to reason that if i want to be ideally excellantro at my craft, one can go to school for it...or one can just do it. like swimming, one you are in the water you got to keep swimming or drown.
go figure

coffee thought...

Some Pics of Downtown ATL as i was searching for coffee...

today, in Atlanta, GA just a small cup of coffee to start the day.

too bad we couldnt supersize it and take it with me.
that's all...

My Bermuda Vacation (pt.1)...

Here are a few pics from my trip to Bermuda. it is always fun, relaxing, and just plain beautiful going there. Of course I am biased, but hey, why not, I am Bermudian!!!
This 1st pic is in the center of Town (hamilton) where the Birdcage is located...An actual traffic cop stands there to direct traffic

more pics to follow

certain days...

there are certain days that i miss you Mom. today is definitely one of them. normally for the past 3 years we embarked on one of our wonderful cruises to some island. we always stopped in Bermuda just because i felt it was something I needed to do. and graciously you indulged my feelings, my need.
thank you mom for all those times, and all the fun times...
and just for the peace & prayers & protection & prayers always. remember that i love you

been kinda lazy

with the posting...truly i have been:

1) traveling- came back from a week long journey to Bermuda (land of my father) and it was such a spectactular time. I enjoyed visiting family, watching Cup Match, and eating great food like cod fish & potatoes.
2) healing- trying to figure out this pinched nerve/shoulder/pain in my ass thing i got going on. One day i am all good, the next i am like WTF will the pain stop.
3) overspending- just like with any good month, trying to budget & spend & pay all bills like a responsible adult while not living on tuna is really a job in itself.
4) olympics-no. i am not competing, but i am watching the USA and the rest of the world compete and have such an amazing respect for the true athletes.
5)working- yeah i am back to the grind and it is definitely THE time of yeah- everyone and their momma needs some financial aid.
6) arguing-yes, i am. for the simple fact that 2 days in a row folks (family/friends) made it their SOLE mission to tell me what it is i am doing wrong in my life (specifically my persuit of love) and what i may attempt to try to get out this current non dating-non love fiasco I have going on over here. And while i LOVE my family/friends/and some neighbors...yeah it was deep.
more on these topics later...

OH- and i have been doing this on less and less coffee...no, this is not a social experiment. i just cant afford it at the moment.. but oh i savor the day when my coffee maker will work again.

can't sleep

so for the past couple of nights i can't stay asleep, specifically i sleep for 5 hours OR wake up 5 am no matter what time i lay my head down. this is a pattern (since my arm begins to wake me, i think it has something to do with the pain in my neck/ nerve in my neck)
so i cleaned up my living room a bit. i finally put the luggage up. got 2 bags of garbage together. now all i need to do is either hang up clothes OR get rid of them from my couch.
more details later...

coffee thought...

right now, i am drinking a great cup of coffee. not too sweet, not too light, just oh so right...
hey, kinda like me!

that's all...

coffee thought...

as i sit here dreaming of my first cup of coffee today i realize that during my whole trip to Bermuda last week there was not a one drop of JAVA? i mean can u believe it?
that's all...

4 months...

since the day my mother went away

physically, am i ok?

"no"

responds my day to day

so i pray

and wait, and listen

for her words

her love

her memory to come back to me.

To my Mommy
