Halloween failure
This weekend I attended a house party. I did not know the proprietors of the home, but my friend did. So my boyfriend and I tagged along. I didn’t have very high expectations, as we were arriving at the party about four hours after it started (seriously, who starts a party at 7?) but I certainly didn’t expect what occurred. As I walked in, I spotted the typical foolishness of...

Blessings from me to you
As I sit here, quietly waiting on a store to open, watching people walk by, it strikes me that I am at peace. I am in a beautiful place of blessings. I feel good; I feel loved. I didn’t always feel this way, and I am thankful for the peace. I pray blessings into your life this morning; I whisper the sweet hush of peace into whatever is you this morning.

just another day in the life
Little girl: Can I touch your hair? (after walking up to me very politely)
Me: Yes, you sure can. (said with a smile)
Little girl: (touches the top of my curly TWA)
Little girl: It's soft! (smiles and walks away)
Me: (smiles)

departure.
he: do you know much about death?
she: only what you've taught me.
he: what's that supposed to mean?
she: nothing, forget about it.
he: no, go on, say it..
she: just that, it can take a long time to die when you're in love with someone who loves you partially and from a distance.
----------------------------------
THIS. My old lovers taught me quite a bit about death. I am thankful that they no longer pretend to love, and that their distance is so great I forget the very things I was once enraptured by.

My people, but not my people
Do you know how tired I get of the bullshit I see daily, perpetrated by those who share the same racial category as me? Seriously… when will Black people do better? Big rims on expensive cars, fake hair, fake eyelashes, fake eye color, worshipping Nicki Minaj, re-naming one’s identity to something of the inane effect of “the baddest bitch” or “the realest...

terecita asked: sorry about your soup; what about cauliflower and potato soup? crepesofwrath [.] net /2010/04/28/creamy-cauliflower-soup-with-roasted-potatoes/ is creamy when blended and spiced with cayenne, and pretty versatile if you want to replace cream with more broth, add cheese/more cayenne etc.

Food (semi) fails
So, over the weekend I got the inspiration to make soup and biscuits. (I get random cooking urges.) I’m looking at the two recipes, and I’m thinking they should taste great. The problem about them was, they tasted merely okay, not great. The potato soup I made was more like potato pieces and broth (not the creamy soup I imagined it to be), and the biscuits, while tasting okay,...

Muammar Gaddafi killed as Sirte falls →
You know, I didn’t even read the article. I haven’t read anything about this yet. I tried and just stopped. I found out this morning via Twitter. That’s where I find out allmost of the breaking news, since I’ve learned that stories break faster there than CNN. (i.e. The East Coast earthquake, which I learned about via friends on Twitter while CNN still wasn’t...

shesmellslikefoot: I don’t fit in with anyone musically. Everyone I know is into bands and what not, and I’m just like: Adele Amy Winehouse Frank Sinatra [insert powerhouse singer here] ——————————————- Excellent list.
