Erry time I take a step forward I get knocked the fuck back.
Today was my day of change and bliss and that shit went up in smoke. I started off well enough with wheat toast and tea and a lite smoothie for breakfast, tofu ginger stirfry for lunch, a shot of wheatgrass for snack, and tried to avoid stress.. Well stress found me in the way of krazy ass students calling and acting a fool all damn afternoon, a co-worker testing my patience and drinking too much hater-aide, and as usual "the blacks" acted a fool on the train ride to work.. Top that all off with getting home to the oven being broken. Well ole-betsy (yeah I just named her that) has been in the family for many years. I asked my mom how long the oven has been in the kitchen, she scratched her head and said hummmm well you're 30 and it was old when you were born. *i'm so sincere* I can't believe she said that shit with a straight face. Rather than complain and bitch that we will be saddled with the new expense of 500 - 800 bucks on a new range, i'll just say "thank you Jesus" that we have the money to buy it, and it won't even hurt the budget.
However it was rather sad that dinner was in the oven "refusing to get hot" and it had to be fried rather than baked. I totally ruined the wheatgrass/smoothie kind of day by having fried chicken for dinner (well i had to do something with the half cooked meat in the oven) The cornbread got cooked in a skillet too (had to be creative tonight)
Hummmm what else is new.. Ohhh how could I forget. I'm suffering from an allergic reaction to a new prescription my doctor put me on. A bitch broke out in hives and I've had to suffer thru this experience alone. She ain't reachable (how nice) and i'm slathering down in aaveno products to solve the itch.. Enough of the bullshit i'm switching doctors cuz i've called and faxed her with no response.
I'm blessed (gotta remind myself) and i'm praying often. It got so bad I called on the name of the lord LOUDLY at my desk at work more than once. i don't care who looks at me sideways. I do what I gotta do to make it thru the day.

I think i've become phobic of my own damn blog. Sad but true. Comming to it regularly to report my goings on in the world is starting to sting because....... well.... I have no goings on... At least none I really want to talk about... Time to refocus my efforts and concentrate on the world around me, while I kind of settle into..... well... sigh... blah blah blah
Music has got me going lately.. I think my standards are startin to slip a lil bit.. Yes the mighty have fallen crashed and burned to the ground. mmmmm about 6 - 8 yrz ago I was a backpackin hip hop purist.. Now i'm poppin my ass in the safety of my own kitchen (where nobody else can see it) to the random bullshit on the radio.. I'm toyed with the idea of buying a three.six.ma.fia. cd but was ashamed someone would see me with it in the store.. Instead I downloaded it (and paid for it) and am bumpin it on the mp3 plyr.
Picked up Sergio.Mendez cd... which is A-FUCKING-MAZING and should be in everybody's collection if they luv good music.. I mean how could ya go wrong with that beautiful south american sound mixed with a who's who list of neo soul's finest. Joints on there by Erykah.Badu.. India.Arie.. John.Legend.. Jill.Scott.. The.Roots.. and more.. If ya don't know ya betta ask somebody or better yet go and listen to it..
I just finished previewing some tracks from Van.Hunt's cd from his website www.vanhunt.com and yeahhhhhhh he's comming with some heat for his 2nd release.. Not that I expected anything less from him.
Ghostface has a joint that's comming soon, or was just released.. Fishscale.. I luv Ghost so much that I'll buy him without previewing.. It's impossible for him to dissapoint me.
Anyhoo... my roomie is thoroughly disgusted with me because at any given point i'm bumping some "trash" and know the words.. Poppin.my.collar and whatnot... Ehhhh it's catchy and it's my flavor of the month. I'll be outta this phase in a few.
Speaking of the roomie.. we are still getting along fabulously, and for those who said it would not work out "ha ha ha ha ha bitches" but that was my offline homies who tried to sow those seeds of negativity, not the blog fam.. He's feeling quite at home, we had a party a few weeks ago, and are planning a bash for the summer (a theme bar-b-que of course) He wants to do linen, I want to do denim... decisions decisions... But I feel good having one of my very good friends in such close quarters with me.. There's always good food and wine here now, i've stepped up a rung on the snooty ladder, and i've calmed down with trying to be a domestic goddess. He's doing his own laundry now.. Yeah I went a bit overboard for a few, but reality slapped me in the face.. This is your friend, not your man, stop scrubbin draws and socks... kracks up.. Well I guess that was a phase too.
Flexes my fingers.. It feels good to be back (for a few at least) Guess I need to step it up a bit.. I found out that i've been linked by some hot bloggers and didn't even know it.. More about that later.. Guess that gives me a reason to come back and post about it tomorrah or Monday.. Holla
