Them: U up? U saw scandal? I am still on my way to my house
Me: Yeah. Yea. I saw it- tho I didn't know you were still at work.
Them: yeah. Overtime pay. I left at 11.
Me: wow. Did you get dinner at least? And you must be tired as shit.
Them: nope no dinner. Yes tired as shit.
Me: Right tho we have not really confirmed shit gets tired. Actually shit does get tired. But not literal.
Ya feel me?
Them: Umm maybe u need to go to sleep.
Me: possibly.
With that... Night folks!
Born and raised in the South Bronx, New York (USA) I figured some thoughts, words, and musings of me would be entertaining- particularly because I say what I mean and of course I mean what I say. Yes, I am an educated African-American woman. Yes, I am a poet. Yes, I am emotional. Yes, I am strong. Yes, I am opinionated. Yes, I am single. Yes I am an avid drinker of coffee. Yes I am in constant struggle- oh and I can not spell, so don't judge [ok maybe a bit] Don't be scared, just be willing

Blanket thoughts
This is my blanket that I have been trying to make for like 10 years. Now I pull it out to continue my crochet pursuit and there is no needle.
Is this a metaphor for my life: specifically when I am "ready" to use it/ complete something - the essential tools will be gone?
How sad is that...

Oh how I long for thee
The wonderful cup of fantastic Coffee that will wake me up and keep me going all day long. I long for the steaming hot boldness that melts my demeanor and soothes my speech to a calm and relaxed manner. Pleasant almost but not overtly sweet.
Balanced
Coffee.

On my way to a late poetry event for bro#2. Apparently he is performing some of his classic joints. Should be interesting sitting with the future sister in law. Stay tuned for updates.
Oh random question: if your significant other requests you not to wear pants to an event-
What would you do? Comply? Ignore? Compromise??

So the head of the CIA is caught in a cheating scandal. The head of the CIA. Apparently cheating is more of a national security risk that one previously thought.
And if he can't guard his secret(s) then apparently no one can. There is something to be said about secrets- keep them to yourself and they will remain a secret.

So. Trying to return to normalcy. Last week we were hit with a huge hurricane Sandy that cause much damage to the east coast and there are tons of people that still do not have power/ heat/ lights etc. the costs to the families, spoiled food, removing of molded items, loss of everything- memories/ important things/ identity- it is A LOT to comprehend. And people need hELP. Real honest help. this is going on 12 days and it is not supposed to be like this in a civilized country (though the definition of civilized is loosely based on real civility considering our terms of endearment towards each other and our outright distain for each other)
Anyway, I must say Fridays are something that I live for. They are almost the greatest days of the week. Almost.
Thoughts as I drink my coffee- regular employment. Again there is a person that I need to go to HR on and again it is taking a year and a day for any moment on their part. What is the point? It is like I am the one banging my head against a brick wall expecting it A) not to hurt and B) a different result. Really! Not sure when I signed up for the crazy gravy train but I have gone way past my stop and need to get off.
