Did I tell you bout the time??

1. I've become agnostic. Perhaps, I've been here for sometime and didn't realize that i was. Regardless, I'm still developing a sense of what it means & how I'm going to verbalize my developing understanding.

2. I thought after x, I'd be able to do y with more focus. Not so. I'm still mulling over the essence of what is necessary to complete x, which I'm realizing I haven't yet accomplished. This still leaves y unattended. Hence a (new) dilemma.

3. In my youth, I wished for a summer where I would be able to read as much as I wanted. No camps to attend, no yard work to do, nothing. This summer looks like that dream a little, I just wish the circumstances were much different.

4. On the way to movies with my brother last week, we were discussing a long bankrupt local grocer, Canal Villiere & the many time we walked the mile between there and home when we were much younger. The discomfort that was at the essence of those experiences came back instantly, leaving us both speechless. Those moments helped form who we've become as men and I'll never disown them but I'm definitely not opening that drawer again any time soon.

5. While making groceries last night, I ran into a friend I hadn't seen in awhile. She was a sight for sore eyes. I'm intrigued. The rest will be what it is. (that grammatical error was deliberate)

6. Office politics are ridiculous. It can be a game of chess with checker pros or it can be a game of chess with an old black man in the park at the concrete tables

7. I respect spontaneity for all that it offers, I'm still working towards the place where I can appreciate it. Something about "not having a plan" even a skeleton plan, rubs me the wrong way.

8. "This a skeleton crew tonight, against these brothers we ain't the 3 Musketeers, we're the 3 Stooges" <----Context free quote from a New Orleans night

9. I don't believe this Osama killing media blitz & will assert that something much larger is taking place while we celebrate the death of a man who's importance diminished over a decade ago.

10. Opened a 24 at 1am. Bad idea, really bad idea.

1. Once you begin to develop a feminist understanding, especially as a man of color, it becomes very difficult to view things outside of that context. More often than not, the lens of scrutiny causes the most discomfort when you place your familial reality underneath it . 2. It's amazing the shit you'll accept when you think a dream has come to fruition, even if the dream isn't actualized in it's entirety. What kind of dream doesn't come true completely? It's unfortunate that fear & emotional issues prevented the possibilities from being explored completely, off paper, in the five dimensional world. 2a. Fuck niggas, bitches too, all I trust is my pride & this'll do. 3. The quickest way to compromise contentment is to introduce the situation to inquiry. 4. What's the score with the false friends?? It shouldn't be that much of a chore to maintain a vested interest in the person you declare your friend. It shouldn't take an act of congr...

Really Big Shrimp

1. I really wish I would have learned to enjoy the moment for what is a lot earlier on. I would've saved myself much confusion & disappointment. 2. To be critical or to be creative, that is the question. 3. In the event someone ventures to ask you what their take home message should be from a given exchange, respect their willingness to acknowledge the limits of their understanding & give them the blasted message. It doesn't matter how simple it is, just relay the message. 4. Is there such a thing as too much pop Chinese cuisine? The answer is yes, yes there is such a thing. 5. Every time I think to text you, I immediately remember that I don't care if I ever hear from you. I'd delete your number but I love the surprise of feeling that every time it happens!! 6. Touareg + Gun Powder= Yess!!! 7. Hand crafted items always rank higher in my book than mass produced goods. I suppose it's the old world charm that captures my attention, knowing ...

1. You save a drowning person via safety doughnut. Why? Because their fear of death will kill you & the help your personal involvement could offer. 2. Just because it's label fiction, doesn't negate the real context that it was derived from. 3. Sometimes the best advice is none. 4. Lineage is relevant primarily when personal identity has been built from it, unless we're speaking of livestock. 5. All of the hardworkers are dead.
