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.

The Man I Love
Billie Holiday
Someday he'll come along, The man I love
And he'll be big and strong, The man I love
And when he comes my way
I'll do my best to make him stayHe'll look at me and smile, I'll understand
Then in a little while, He'll take my hand
And though it seems absurd
I know we both won't say a wordMaybe I shall meet him Sunday,
Maybe Monday, maybe not
Still I'm sure to meet him one day
Maybe Tuesday will be my good news dayHe'll build a little home, That's meant for two
From which I'll never roam, Who would, would you
And so all else above
I'm dreaming of the man I love

Red Hooker Nails
Red red nail polish (color is red bottom shoes from LISI cosmetics & getting Ms. Piggy with it from OPI) apparently chipping happens when working hard.

Oh it is almost the weekend again. Weekends are something that make me happy for no other reason than it being the weekend - even if I have no plans. Even if I plan to run amuck. Yay weekends.
But before the weekend arises:
that's all...
But before the weekend arises:

Start exploring the places, people and things that are foreign to you
-- from food to music to politics, what other countries have to offer
will suddenly be fascinating to you. Things have settled down a bit in
your own life, so you will need something to stimulate your mind and get
you thinking about new things. A trip to an ethnic restaurant or a few
minutes spent listening to another country's folk music will do just
that. You're open minded and eager for something different.
