| I was thinking about this the other day in African American Literature:
Have you ever just sat and looked at someone? I mean really looked at them. Studied them with no words, their eyes, eyelashes, and the curve of their jaw, their lips and ears. Have you ever just let someone study you? Ever just sat there and become completely vulnerable to their hard gaze? Ever let someone’s eyes roam over your features, the imperfections, and the flaws? Let their hungry eyes drink in your appearance? Ever closed your eyes and felt the fear of being completely exposed to another? It’s one of the most intimate experiences you could have. You begin to notice the tiniest things about them, like the flicker of their eyelashes as their eyes move from feature to feature on your face. Allowed yourself to lock eyes for more than just a moment? It’s beautiful. But use with caution- only do it with someone you trust. It’s an excellent way to build intimacy without saying one word.
Random Thought:
GIVING HIM SOMETHING HE CAN FEEL- Aretha Franklin
a.k.a. one of the best songs ever written. Plain lyrics don't do it justice.
(Shoo)
Verse 1
Many say
that I'm too young
to let you know just where I'm coming from.
But you will see
it's just a matter of time
my love surely make you mine
(1)
Well, I'm
Livin in a world of ghetto life
Everyone Seems is so uptight
Nothin's wrong, it's alright, my man
I like the way we carry on
His love will send me on and on
with my man
People out there can you understand
Chorus:
I'm givin him somethin he can feel
to let him know this love is real
This love is real
Verse 2
So much joy for us it seems
So much hope for material things
Are they only in my dreams?
(hey, oh yeah)
And that's exactly why I'm singing this song to you
To let you know that real dreams do come true.
You tell me 'what does it mean'.
Repeat (1)
Repeat (2) to a fade

| Alright, my public! Good news is that I'm MIA no more. Bad news is that I don't have time to update right now. But I'm back!! And KARL=- check your email!!!

| So I got a random call from someone who didn't identify themselves who is wandering around in Nova Scotia. Anybody got a clue?! Cause I don't. Seems to me that phone message was a lil bit pointless. I appreciate it all the same though. Whoever you are: have fun being cold. (wait, is it cold there? or actually, where in the heck is Nova Scotia!???)
Oh, to be confused.

| Hey all
I'm still here. Working at garfield's restaurant and pub and making that money yall. Too bad it has to go right back out the door with those yucky things called bills. I'm in the process of trying to get a car and I'm not sure why it's not happening. I need a co-signer and no one in my family is willing to take a chance on me. It's kinda saddening, but I figure everything is under God's control and maybe for some reason it wouldn't be a good idea for me to have one right now. I mean maybe he wants me to go abroad or something and having a car payment then would be very difficult. Besides, I'd have to pay for my insurance and the car note by myself. I could do it but it would definitely present a big dent in my wallet and perhaps God knows that wouldn't be the best thing for me right now? Eh, whatever He does I'm at peace with it.
Umm...let's see- I'm excited to go back to school but my roomy Amy and I had some bad news- we didn't get an apartment! Which makes absolutely no sense becuase they were offering us off campus so we thought we had definitely at least made it into an apartment but apparently not. she's really upset so we're contacting housing right now to see what happened. Personally it doesn't matter to me where we live...and besides I'm not too sad that someone else will be cleaning my bathroom this year if we stay in Mac! Either way I just want her to be happy and this is really upsetting so I'll talk to housing too and see if we can't bully them into giving us an apartment- after all, I am pretty intimidating!!! (Mwuhaha~~)
In other news, I've had some very interesting experiences lately, like finding myself at a bar at 2 AM with 3 completely wasted drunk men I don't know very well in the middle of nowhere VERY far from my house. Oh yea, that was a memorable night. I found out that I prefer Bud Light Select. (I only tasted it!!) And having my mother tell me that I've shamed her. (By the way, those two instances aren't related!!) OH and finding out that I'm the ONLY virgin working at garfield's. ONLY. People, there are alot of people there. Geez....OH AND being set up with some customer's son tonight at 7 who stutters and has some kind of hearing problem. (Or just ignores me). Oh joy is mine. lol...all in all I'm going to be full of some very interesting stories over the next few weeks. What a strange world we inhabit folks.
Alright that's it for now- I have to get home to give something to mother before work. I miss you all! Much love. and by the way hit me up with comments to let me know you're still alive!!!!! :(

| Ok, now that I have recovered...or something....let us move on to lesser important matters:
I'm doing quite well. Mother has been gone for a week...again...and she will be gone again next week. So I'm truly living on my own here, just me and the kitties. And they really do bring excellent entertainment. I swear this is what it must be to have children. I look at those kittens and I love them so much that a hug is not enough!!! I just go CRAZY. and then I stop and realize how weird I am and then get distracted by something else. Oh life.
Hm...in other news, work is going fine. Bills are piling up. But at least now I'm able to make a dent in them and now having to take care of the house and get gas and everything else is not exactly helping. I think when I get an apartment of my own, I'll do so with a friend or something. Then I think it will be easier and more fun. Um...I'll probably be back to school around the 19 or 20 because of work, so if anyone gets back early, look me up! You know, I was really worried about this next year but now I'm pretty excited. All my friends are spread all around campus and it will probably be a lot harder to catch up with everyone. I must admit though, one of my main fears is that everyone will get together and do lots of fun stuff and not tell me so I totally miss out everytime. I guess I have to re-cultivate friendships so that people care enough to not not call me. I dunno....maybe it's just me but it really hurts alot when that happens, so I'm not really looking forward to it happening again. I just don't knwo what to do to stop it. Oh college life.
Hmm...I think that's about it for now. I'm...you guessed it!....hungry, and I must do something about that. I just came from the chiropractor and that's going just fine. I love insurance! I haven't had it for real before and I must tell you it's amazing!! Alrighty got to feed to minions before they get all over the couch and leave little poofs of fur! Later all and I love you!!
p.s. hey jack- call and let me know how youre doing, eh champ? eh chief? eh slugger? hehe
