You know what, grow up....you nasty.

I see potential and I like it. Maybe even a little bit in love with it. Either way I'm mostly happy with it.

Is it weird that I never consider marriage? Marriage is not a concept of a relationship I grew up knowing, therefore I don't stress over not being at that stage in my life yet...I'm too busy stressing over other things ;) Damn, now that I'm thinking about it, even with Ally G I would've just wanted forever...not necessarily through marriage....just together...he and I...together. vulnerable to each other on our own terms.

Ahhh well. +L-A together forever? I'm not sure...I'm happy today while working on getting through tomorrow first.

Ahhhh Anthony Hamilton's voice is just so...so...just as melodic as a heartbeat.



Tomorrow's the last day of School!!!

Summertime vocab has already started...Just 2 1/2 more weeks until my actual vacation begins. Sucks to not be a teacher...sometimes...well only during the next 2 1/2 weeks.

Off to take a nap...gotta go out tonight. I love NOLA...only in NOLA do you go to the club to hang out from 12-2 am then back to sleep because I have to be at work for 8ishy ;)

Dear Summer

LMAO. Ellis told me that I needed to write all my thoughts down because somewhere between my head and mouth they get lost in words like "I don't know" and "I mean."

I mean I try to write but I don't know...I just don't get to it as much as I want to...

then I said something so profound to his situation.

i know...huh.

it's like that.

"I know I don't know you
But I want you so bad
Everyone has a secret
But can they keep it
Oh No they can't"

November 21, 2000, Mama's Gun is released and is forever connected to my life story.

It seems strange that a yearly event is worth getting excited over...after all, New Orleans is home to some of the Best music festivals...period. Jazz Fest is no exception. And to make the pot just a little sweeter, just throw in a performance by Silly E. Badu...Ms. Analog Girl in a Digital World herself.




She opened with the song that makes Amy Winehouse's Back to Black seem like a chummy love anthem (btw I heart this cd):


**Clears throat**
My eyes are green
Cause I eat a lot of vegetables
It don't have nothing to do with your new friend

Ahhh, take me back Erykah!

Remember the first time you heard "Green Eyes?" I do. His name was Jesse...then Chad.

This song couldn't be more honest and pure to hurt, insecurity, denial, uncertainty, love, lust, pain and at the end...healing.

Thank you Andre' 3000. Thank you Jesse. Thank you Chad.

But most of all, thank you Erykah. You've shared more with us than some women can get from the women in their own lives. Your heart went into every word of every verse of every song that was penned for Mama's Gun and I'm forever grateful to you for it all. Your lessons and experiences are not in vain.

Thanks

seems like streetlights glowing
happened to be just like moments
passing, in front of me so
i hopped in, the cab and
i paid my fair, see
i know my, destination
but im just not there

808s and Heartaches

I miss Lover

Cause day n nite.
The lonely stoner seems to free his mind at nite
He’s all alone through the day n nite.
