When Sunday comes around I can't wait to go to post secrets and ~~read~~ envy how brave these people are. To send your deepest secrets to a complete stranger, which I suppose is easier than telling someone you know and love. From the fear of being ridiculed, shunned or lack of being understood even a tad bit. It's not easy to tell someone a part of you; to you it means the world, to them, not so much. I sit and read...alone, since I'm always alone. It's the only connection with others' emotion I ever really get these days. I feel for them.

I still believe it's mine.

And I don't think my dad ever will...alive or not.

I lost the post secret that means the most to me & I with I could thank that person who sent it in. It's good to know that I'm not the only one. Maybe it was meant for me not to share.

Janelle Monae.

I want this CD soo bad. It was released in 08, bigg deal. I recently have fallen in love with her. She has 2 other albums;

The Audition - released in 2003
Metropolis Suite I of IV: The Chase - released in 2007

Rumor is she has a new album coming out in 2010, Metropolis Suites II & III!
Am I excited much?? Hell yeah! :]

And actually I'd be happy with any of her albums.

Learn more about her here.

Words of the Day.

Vagetarian

Pena

Peta

Thank God I can cook. :)

Oh happy day.

I hated that I had to work 11 to 6 today but it turned out more amazing than I thought...seriously.

We played Christmas music at the theater. Now that the old manager is gone we decided to break out the old tunes. haha. Yeah I know it's Thanksgiving but that's how you kick off the holidays.

We decorated the lobby. A tiny Christmas tree, the green thingys haha, and lights.

I saw three people that I haven't seen in such a long time; Junard [pics below] he left me for Morehouse. This kid is amazing. He also worked at the theater. Meacham, middle school teacher who still remembered small facts about me that even I haven't thought about. Morris, he used to work at the theater too. Pretty much like the father I never had.

These are really small things but they made me beyond happy.

And the hubby's on his way to Greenville or somewhere farrr, like 5 hours, for his last game before state. Hopefully they win so they can go to state. I have faith in em. Pray for him and his team! I know they'll do fine. I love you bby & thankful for you!

Blu.

What the game been missin'.

Blu show these fools how it's done.

Hip hop aint dead, it just got old and tired. I love music and all genres, hip hop being my favorite and I've been disappointed lately. People look at me funny when I tell them that I don't like Plies or OJ the Juice Man. Wtf I look like. I'm sorry but that's not hip hop in anyway to me. I consider them rappers and their genre is rap not hip hop. I don't like rap. Yes, I feel there's a difference between rap and hip hop. Hip hop artists are lyricists, there's more to what they're saying, more behind the beat and I don't think anyone these days see that or even care to see. Lyrics are what captures my ears and my heart, not the next catchey hook or phrase. Rappers all have the same topics; sex, money, cars, 'the streets'. They put this whole persona on, I feel like it's all an act just to sell. They're selling lies if you ask me. Possibly there is a rap artist out there that's just speaking what he knows, I on the other hand cannot relate.Why does it take someone to talk about a female in such a degrading and repugnant way. Seriously, why do I care to hear about you spreading her legs?? It takes real talent to come up with something better. Talent. HA! What many are missin'. Please go sit down, Blu gone show you how:

I used to have
Peace, serenity, teaching divinity
Break bread, sipping the blood, eating with enemies
Blind, pearl on my mind thinking we fittin' to be
This, that, and the third
Boy did I learn, tables turn
Billy holiday burned down to play when my nerves drowned my folks away
Swerving in the locomotive, far from my hopes and motives
Back to boasting at shows to get a standing O
From all the fans I know on some of that
Sapphire rapid fire soul stuff I used to hit 'em off with
But now I'm some ol' "pay the toll" for the way I played the role
Cautious when I lace a flow, cause, pose? think I'm painting codes
Patience grown thin, home sick and haven't been home since
Fuck a rapper, I'm an actor in a film called:
"Leave me the fuck alone until I find a real job"
Busting chrome grills off at these soft hearted breakbeats bouncing with 808's and gray ink
Blue heart, red skies, true art died in the heart of my mind
Kept trying to fulfill this, blank scribbled realness, even if it kills this
Poet inside

Used to speak sweet with sympathy
Tease to mimic me, sunshine every line you ever sent to me
Heaven sent, heavenly scent that later crippled me, shit
Simple men don't learn, where was your empathy?
Couldn't see the fork in the road
Kept straight forward, straight towards a humble abode we both hate more
Now that I fumbled and folded that open letter said "dead men walking don't dream"
You taped yours, and you told me I could rent it
Thought it was invented for my viewing pleasure
Human error, the apprentice turned teacher, preacher turned God
Couldn't reach ya, just a façade, the main feature
Modified for blogs, podcast the past, hi-definition, she laughed
Pass the message, now I'm guessing that the jokes on me
Cause I'm the only one threatened
The wretched by the windows sketching
Pencil? the mural of the method, don't sweat it, techniques turning, burning incense
Listening to Billy burn my intent, definitive days that turn my nights to fiction
Friction-less, just a pen trynna pimp this stress, 'cause I couldn't keep a lid on my life
Naïve as the dry leaves on the ground, looking past the tree to the blue sky asking:
Why me?

My first white love.

"Stars, hide your fires. Let not light see my black and deep desires."

Austin Peay Bound!

I've been wanting to go there since about a year ago. I've already been on the campus, pretty much know my way around, & I went again today with the madre. I got a T-shirt & a hoodie, whichhh I loovvee. I'm wearing it right now. :D

When I got home from work after the tour,which was about 30 min ago, I see a letter from APSU & I'm like 'What a cowinkydink.' I open it and the first word I read was 'Congratulations!' That's all I needed to read. I'm officially a GOVNA! People keep telling me to apply to other places. Bump that. I got in my first choice & that's all I need. Cant wait until August of 2010. Ta Ta loves. ♥

apparently....

...i suck at life.

Tall enough.

Absolutely beautiful. This makes me smile. (:

“It's beauty that captures your attention;

personality which captures your heart.”

Arielle said something that made me lauggghhh. "There's gum under this desk! Who does that?! That's so California Valley Girl!!" ...as she makes the snobby stuck up face and flips hair. uggghhh. you know the one.
I don't know, but I thought it was pretty funny.

I miss J so much.
Honestly I dont think he understand how much I love him
although he says he does. Cant be.
I dont even know to what extent;
to the point I cant put it in words I suppose.
Well maybe he does.

I love my city.

They went too hard on Kanye! bahaa!

Good ol' Nashville. :]

i really feel like i went off on jalen for no reason last night
even though i think its a good reason.
my temper is probably jacked right now.
everything pisses me off.

i wish i had done sports in hs.
i really miss cheerleading.
maybe i should do softball,
even if i am gonna be on the bench.
or track....

this lil phase im going through really needs to go away.
i hate it and im sure others hate it just as much.
but i cant help it. sadness is all i feel.

blah blah blah.

on another note, i get a new phone tomorrow.
ive been waiting 6 months for this. lol.

finalllyyyy.

i feel like doing not a damn thing.

I ran into an old friend.

I was standing on the corner (get your giggles out) and this guy gets out the car and im like "mannnnn! he bet not try to 'spit game'" As he comes closer I realize,

IT'S GAVIN freakin' BAXTER!!

I haven't seen him in just about 6 years.We were really good friends. We've kind kept in touch over myspace but I haven't used that in so long. I'm not even sure if he has a facebook or not-- nope. Just checked. Doesn't matter we exchanged numbers. He still has an amazing personality and just as handsome as ever. Man we have some catching up to do. It was sooo good to see him again. He seriously made my dayy. :)

<3

Exhausted.

That is definitely a litote compared to how I really feel.

Good day.

Nighty Nite loves.

When it hurts so bad.

"When it hurts so bad,
Why's it feel so good?"

"Too much of love can hurt sometimes. You can love so much and so hard that when the slightest hurdle comes along it feels like the worst pain imaginable. Your eyes get glassy and you choke back the tears. You know, that feeling? Well I get that feeling a lot. Not because I'm sad or feel like my relationship's on the brink but because I love too much and too hard. While it can be unbearable to deal with, I remind myself that this is love and if it wasn't, I wouldn't care as much as I do. Oh baby, it hurts so good."

[haha. ok im so done with these love posts. im just overflowing with emotion right now!]

Bear with me.

I'm at a fragile point right now. One of those sad spell type things. I have friends, family and a boyfriend who loves me yet I still find things to complain about. I hate this feeling.

Like I'm up against
t
h
e

I just want to feel like I belong or whatever. Grow and develop as a person, a better person.
So please bear with me while I get myself together. kthnx. I knew you'd understand. Ta Ta.

I'm realizing who I want to be."
