"No body move, no body get hurt"

-



So here is a dramatization of how an I.M session between my girlfriend and I went the other day after, to her dismay, I referenced a particular man in whom I am interested as being merely a "friend."



Her:...... I will ask offhanded, why the term "friend" and speaking so generically about your man??? Why would you call him a "friend", I thought he was your man?


Me: 'cause he is not my man.


Her: Oh, my misunderstanding. I thought "my boo", "my baby", etc. were synonymous with "my man". Hence, me taking my butt to counseling and trying to understand this adult dating stuff.......LMAO.


Me: LOL- No. I would agree that such words might be synonomous. However, I do not recall ever referring to him in this way. I typically refrain from using such descriptors, unless speaking to the object of my affections directly and in jest. Perhaps I am too careful, too jaded and need some counseling too! LOL


Her: Oh no, no, no mami! I distinctely remember, when you first started seeing him, you said something about him being your boo.


Me: Okay, I very well may have- but, if I did, I surely meant it tounge and cheek. Suffice it to say, we are now dead square in the grips of that stage of a relationhip I like to call "no body move, no body get hurt." You know the one where no body dares be the first to bring up 'the status' of the relationship- God forbid, where it is heading, lest they bust a "move" prematurely and run the risk of "getting hurt" LOL ....I think I will blog about that.....come to think of it, I just did.

So I heard my personal muse Maxwell on the radio yesterday (backdrop...I almost NEVER listen to regular old radio stations, either it's cd or talk radio) and who was on but Maxwell. Ever so graciously engaged in an interview with a lackluster announcer on a lackluster station. Now you all know that it has been a minute, ok seven years, since we have really heard from this brother. Seems to me, from what I hear it's about to be worth the wait. I believe his new album, which is a trilogy called "Black Summers Night" drops July 7th. Suffice it to say, I am quickly falling in love with the first single "pretty wings"...check the link above. What I love about Maxwell is the love and respect for women that infuses his music. He makes me feel what he is feeling in a song. He clearly has some loving parents, bc this brother comes across as being strong, yet sensitive, in control, yet vulnerable....his music is magic to me. Please take a moment to check out this vid...

Hola y bienvenido mi amigos (hello and welcome back my friends), It's been a minute I know. I recently returned from a much needed escape to Puerto Rico. It was a very relaxing trip and gave me some time to sort some things out and look at some things from a different perspective. I came away from my trip refreshed and with a couple of realizations that I would like to lay on you. Got a minute? Good. While I would never volunteer to act as an interpreter during a meeting at my job-unless forced to do so- I really do know more Spanish than I let on. My college professors were right, language immersion is the key to bridging the gap to fluency. Had I been as smart as my cousin Kecia, I too would have taken a semester to study in South America while in college. But no, I was too busy being cute in D.C. But I digress. You see after having studied Spanish for 8 consecutive years and living in an area largely populated by Spanish speakers, the problem I still have is that when I speak Sp...
