Repost: Thee Love Note

you give me ...
a love that chips away at the hard soul surfaces and renovates the damage .
your UNDYING hope in me that paints the black roses in my heart, red .someone with a green thumb ... willing to pull the weeds of my past & plant potential .

I'd throw my hopes into the air for the sky to catch in the crevices of clouds .
and if my heart should smash against Pasadena palm trees or pavement of Brooklyn brownstones, I'd survive because you're good like that . el corazón duele en las manos de abusadores, pero las manos están hechas de rayos dulces de sol .

in a world that spins on the axis of narcissism, you crumble the spindle until the rules change . crack . smash . decomposing until LOGIC is melted in a steaming pot ofmiracles . a love that sows together the wings of butterflies & lifts me beyond the heights of fabrication .

you are where i start & where i will end . you see the constellations in my eyes, the symphonies in my heart beat, and feel the breezes from my eye lashes . it feels good to be appreciated . you stitched my wounds, fed my soul and love . me .unconditionally . when i stumble on my stubborn, when i TASTE TEMPTATION, and linger in lies, you love me still . all i ever wanted was someone who would stick by me, fight for me, and ride or die until the end ; mission accomplished .

P.S. God, i fell in love with you all over again today .

Cole World

So I cant get enough of "Cant Get Enough". I'm anxiously waiting for Cole World: Sideline Story to hit the stores tomorrow. Go out and buy, talented and honest.

Baby its You!

I was going through my blogs from earlier this year and must I say they were DEPRESSING!!! I started writing my blog because I was going through a lot and didn't want to always talk to someone about it. It was mainly issues on relationships and friendships. But I think I have it altogether this semester.

So, I wanted to let the world know how happy I am. I started talking to my baby in February and honestly I wasn't feeling it because I wanted what I thought was right. But he stayed around and became someone I didn't want to  not be around. He made me happy without anything spetacular. Just himself which is GREAT to me. So it got real serious around the middle of March and its been great since then.

I might sound corny but "Love on Top" completely describes my feelings for him. I can be around him and never get bored. He makes me smile for no reason and I don't want to go a day without him. He doesn't like it but he's my Stinka Butt lol

Stop the Violence Amongst Young People

On Thursday night around 8 o'clock I lost a friend to senseless violence. Domonique Fraizer was stabbed to death by her roommate at Bowie State University because of how loud she was playing her iPod. I found out through twitter and couldn't believe it. All of sudden my timeline went from Scared Straight tweets to astonishment that our friend had died. She was tweeting just four hours ago and within that time so much happen.

I have seen on the news of many deaths throughout my lifetime but only two hit home because they went to my school. But this hit home in such a different way. Last February I was put in the same situation. I was in an argument with a friend and as a result she tried to stab me with a pair of scissors. When I found out how she had died I was filled with sorrow and gratefulness. Mainly because she lost her life to unnecessary violence but me being no different from her my life was spared.

I know many may not believe in Jesus but at the moment all I could think about was thanking him. I also asked him to keep her family safe and sane. With this happening it hit her mother hard like any death of a child. See when people die we morn for a while but the parents and family members forever morn because something that came from them is no longer there. Way after the calls, cards, facebook and twitter pages stop bursting with "I Miss You's" her mother will still be sicken to the idea of her child being gone.

So I ask that everyone who reads this does three things: Keep Dominique's family in your prayers, tell the people you love you love them, and be an advocate for stopping unnecessary violence amongst young people.

Happy 19th Birthday Dominique Frazier!!!

Single Ladies without Stacey Dash

So everyone knows that VH1's new show Single Ladies was an all time favorite. The show having two big actress' that viewers have been dying to see return to filming; Stacey Dash and LisaRaye. Single Ladies did great being a new show. Everyone fell in love with the cast, but unfortunately one will not be returning.

Stacey Dash released a statement today to Global Grind stating:"I truly enjoyed playing Val on 'Single Ladies', but I have decided to leave the show. I have to be back in L.A. with my children right now and the 'Single Ladies' shooting location makes that impossible. I wish VH1 the best of luck with the show and in maintaining the strong fan base we developed in season one."

I understand that she wants to be with her children, but as a viewer I cant help but to wonder who is going to replace her and is the show going to survive with someone new.  I will continue to watch the new season to see if the dynamics change.

 

Dr. Griffin

Dear Dr. Griffin,

I dedicated this blog to you because you provided me with a fountain of new inspiration. I take you twice a day, three days a week. I enter your class never knowing what I'm going to experience. But each day I enter, I enter with some form of anticipation. You are the reason I decided to stay an English major. Last semester I was so insecure in my abilities to be an English major yet alone a college student. Your class inspired me and your interest in my thoughts that were seen as radical in every other classroom. On my first paper you told me I had great ideas and was a good writer. Those few words changed me and provided me with the confidence to strive for excellence that semester. I was so in love with your teaching style and interest in students that I requested to take you the next semester. Your classes are more than just English courses, your classes provide me with courage to move on. You never allow me to do less than my best and are constantly questioning my views. This may not seem as a lot but to a student, that is use to achieving things easily with little explanation what you do is needed. Your talk on Monday touched me and helped me realize that I need to leave my comfort zone. I have a fear of reaching for higher achievement because I never know how good I may be. I'm not afraid that I'm too stupid but instead I'm afraid that I may be smart enough. When we started our talk, I was discouraged and had no idea what I really wanted to do. Your words of encouragement and a sense of believing that I possessed the talent to succeed, helped. Knowing that someone has faith in me and hopes that I do well is a great feeling. So I just want to thank you for constantly never accepting average from me and believing that I have a bright future. Overall, thank you for being more than a professor to a student. Thanks for seeing what I'm too afraid to try to see and letting me know that I can do better and achieve more if I just believe in myself.

Familiar

All the emotions you promised me I would never experience with you have become familiar. All the emotions you promised I would experience with you are unfamiliar. Through it all, your not the person who I met. Your an unfamiliar face in the crowd.
