The Story of the Godmother November 13, 2008

There’s a woman I know who is nearly sixty years old (if not already). I call her Godmother. She has never been married and has no children. She is one of the most giving people you ever want to meet. She would give you her last. So, tell me, how is that she is alone? How fulfilling is her life without a true love and/or children? I see her often and that’s always the thought I have. Word is that she was always so picky when it came to men. She could never be satisfied, so that left her high and dry. What a life.

I pray to God often that that’s not my destiny.

I was having a conversation with my Mother (also known as MAMA) about relationships or the lack thereof. Believe me, it’s her favorite topic and my least favorite because there’s never SHIT going on in that department. It doesn’t matter exactly what was said so much as what I was thinking.

I have made some dumb-ass decisions when it comes to guys. Before I always said that I liked the wrong guys. You know, the slick, ladies man, half-gentleman/half-thug, etc. Really, the deal is that something of significance could have come about with all those guys, but I didn’t play the right cards. I could have been more upfront, more aggressive, more supportive, more open. I guess hindsight is 20/20, but can I atleast have 40/20 at that very moment?

Now I’m not saying that those failed relationships were all on me. They did some dirt, too. And sometimes, my gut was just telling me to run the other way (I can’t argue with my intuition, can I?)! However, it’s just time to grow up. This is life and it should always progress, never stay the same.

I can’t end up like the Godmother.

Good Lookin’ Out, America November 13, 2008

If you don’t know by now…we have a new president. Barack Hussein Obama. And he just happens to be black. YES! I could write so much more on this. How I’m semi-obsessed with his family and how the media will have a field day trying to scruntize everything he will do as the Prez. Or how I’ve already made plans and flight arrangements to be in DC for the Inauguration on January 20. Let’s keep our fingers crossed about those tickets to get INTO the Inauguration.

Anyway, I just had to post on the historic moment and say how much it means to me and all of us of all colors, creeds and cultures.

Good job, America!

………….. November 3, 2008

I do NOT like feeling like this. I don’t know what’s worse… feeling bad emotionally or physically. It’s officially Daylight Savings Time, so I got an extra hour of sleep. It didn’t feel that way because I was in and out of sleep all night. I am getting sick!

I’m on my second dose of Theraflu and second dose of bootlegged Midol from Wal-Mart because guess what??? I’m on my period, too! My entire body is in some type of pain or fatigue. My head, back, legs. I’m hot, but I’m cold.

I was going to write some more, but I think I’ll go to bed, instead. AGAIN.

One last thing: Get your patooty up and vote on Tuesday. No matter how long the wait!

Daylight Savings Time Thoughts November 3, 2008

It’s happening. AGAIN. It’s November. There’s a feeling in the air that makes me think of you. At certain times of the year, it seems like my brain is programmed to focus on you and this is one of them. A time when the air gets crisp and cold. The nights are clear. The feeling I have, I can’t even describe it. It’s not like we met during this time. We weren’t together for the first time during this season. It’s just something in the air. I’d hoped that I’d be over this by now. Time is past due. Wayyy past due. But I simply can’t help but to think of you.
