Sooooo, I was thinking....

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...

......and that is exactly what this is. I love this little piece of cyber space that I have carved out just for me. I was checking my facebook page, afterwhich, I wondered..hmmm- where to next? I decided that I wanted to go to my blog and look at the floral arrangement on the title bar. I love the black backdrop and I love the array of flowers in the glass jars. I love that I have not been here, writing consistently in months, but that when I returned last week - this space was still here....waiting...just as I'd left it. I love this space...my-space. I like it that people come by and visit myspace every now and again and that they miss me when I am away. I like that I can come to myspace to express my thought, feelings and experiences. I love myspace. You see, this space is reflective of my life in many ways. I tend to be consistently inconsistent in much of what I do... Aside from trying my best to keep my word (hence, I don't make many firm commitments), trying not...

Good Morning Ya'll....... I been missing for a minute now. Computer issues to blame...damn facebook virus! But, I am back. I am taking a little mini vacation right now and I am writing to you all from the sunny shores of.....wait for it....Baltimore! lol. I swear I saw Omar & Avon down town yesterday.....for real. Anyway, I am loving this weather and I am loving my life. I am feeling very, very positive this morning and I hope that you all are as well. Here is the deal. I know that there is a lot that we could and should be worried about right now. I just saw a post about the Mexican bird flu or something going on....wtf! But, the reality is this....as far as we know-we only have this one life to live, at this time, in our present bodies. What I plan to make a more concerted effort to do, at least today, is to live each and every moment to the fullest. I will appreciate sitting right here in this quiet house typing on this wireless keyboard. I will appreciate drivi...

Hello family, I have been gone so long...and where have I been you may ask? Wow, so many places seeing so many things. I actually just finished packing up for a quick get away to the left coast.....yep, I am going back to Cali for a few days of much needed R&R. Can't wait to get back and start blogging again in the new year. It's a damn shame when you don't even visit your own blog in so long that other folks have to remind you that you even have a blog. Argo, my dedicating this entry to one of ardent readers....my cousin D! D reads my blog faithfully, along with some other members of my family. However, unlike other members who have grown weary of my m.i.a blogging status, D has stuck with me. He has sometimes encouraged, sometimes cagolled and sometimes just straight up told me to write. I appreciate his brand of motivation and so to him, and to my other strong folks who stop by every now and again to see if I have returned from under the rock I sometimes live, I dedi...
