Guten Morgen Sasha
Editor's Note: We've hit 200!! Thanks again for stopping by and send your friends on over! 1. There are times when I reflect on the people whom I hold near and dear as they embark on the seemingly wonderful road that is a relationship. Not the casual, I'm juggling 3 or 4 people road but the "Umm, yeah, I'm not going to be able to kick it with you this weekend, I've got spend some quality time with the significant other" & I get a little jealous, no lies and then one of these calls takes place.... W: Yo, whats going on? 2. I'd love to tell you the reason for my arrival but I have yet to fully rest from my journey... 3. Black History Month is upon us. Although I'm not big of the lets wait until February to learn some interesting things about American history bus, I'll be providing some interesting trivia, facts, and quotes to keep your matter grey. 4. As much as I missed you, I would have rather you never come back then for you to return and be callous. That being said, it would be naïve of me to expect you to not employ the most convenient defense mechanism when confronted with that which you don’t understand. 5. The winter is nearing an end and as much as I enjoy all that spring will usher in, I really will miss the cold. It’s something about those winter morning that puts everything in its proper perspective. 6. Some would say it was proof that God didn’t exist, what if it was however proof that the devil does. 7. When this all started, my interest in the work before me was far greater than any other distraction that could’ve presented itself. As time went on, I became more and more interested in the material that was being discussed, but your smile was becoming more of a motivation to remain diligent in working through the task at hand than the feeling of accomplishment that is usually being pursued. As it stands now, my sole motivation has been to see your smile and I’m alright with that… 8. I suspect that the third side of the story, which always contains the truth, will forever remain a mystery to me. I’ve wrestled with the realization has made itself known to me. As each day comes to a close, I become more and more content with keeping myself out of that which is beyond my influence. My thoughts on the matter are adjusting themselves to allow that which hoped to be to understand that which is, resulting in no concrete understanding of that which is to come. 9. The absence of expectation minimizes disappointments. Try it with something small & you’ll be surprised at the results. 10. It would be an overstatement for me to claim that I miss you. In the time you’ve been gone the changes have been both great and small but as far as I’m concerned, it’s been nothing that merited me lamenting your absence. We’re both moving through different phases in out respective lives, and my attempts to be in touch are more so fueled by nostalgia than by a genuine desire to keep it touch. Truth be told, it’s been a bit of relief the last few times when the lines didn’t connect, as I really didn’t want to tell the same stories over again any more than you wanted to hear them. When something of merit occurs, I’ll be sure to drop you a line…at some point. 11. Can I please find a decent day to day bag? Not book sack, not a man purse, or any of these other unisex or overly masculine pieces of luggage; just something to jam a few textbooks, my laptop and my phone into with out it looking like I borrowed it from my girlfriend or took backpackers’ most prized possession? 12. I was so far ahead of my time I almost started another life, so turned around and decided to make this one nice. In time, I’m moving past my past, at a steady pace not slow or fast. 13. It would be wrong for me engage your attention only for my amusements but I can’t but help to be tempted to do as much because well, I’d like to be entertained for once. I trust you’ll humor me as long as your patience allows. 14. There is no return to tomorrow nor is there a way to predict yesterday, we can merely hope that tonight resembles this morning in the sense that we are present for all it has to offer. 15. I don’t know why, but I want to go out tonight. Live music, typical club experience, game of eight ball with some random person who has perfected the manipulation of the fifthteen balls, within reason it does not really matter. There is no special motivation, no birthday, promotion, etc to be celebrated. I just want to gather myself together and embark upon a brief journey that will commence shortly after sundown and conclude long before Lucifer makes his appearance. 16. Acting my age not my coat size is definitely a work in progress. That being said, I feel as though I’m making some progress. Let me not get comfortable in this least all progress stop where it currently resides 17. It's tempting to be very vocal about bring where you're from to where you are currently but it's important to remember that your origins will always make themselves known. Be prepared as this can occur without warning. 18. I can't help to be proud of the media attention that has been give the First Family. It is encouraging to see in the public eye, a family headed by a black man who unequvocially loves his wife and his daughters. There have been African American families of this kind since slavery but to have on display a real family, not the crafty writing of Bill Cosby acts as an example against the barage of stereotypes of philanderous, irresponsible black men heading some semblance of a family. 19. One day I suspect I'll have too many socks, that however shall also be when pigs fly! 20. Piggy backing on my previous post about responsibilities, you've got to think past getting your hair and your nails done! I’m in no position to call anyone out on their short comings, but somebody must implore her to focus on and take care of the necessities.
B: Man, I'm pissed. She done lost her mind!
W: (laughing quite loudly) Whats good? What happened like that?!
B: Man it's a long story (sigh)!!
