So Beautiful

Just some photos of my lovely daughters...and oh yeah, I'm in there somewhere! [Song: So Beautiful by Musiq Soulchild].

Random Thoughts!!

The whole purpose behind posting this thread is to give a voice to the randomness that goes on in my brain. I don’t think I’m A.D.D or anything, however a variety of thoughts enter my head and leave as quickly as they come. I often wonder if anyone else experiences this. Sometimes they’re funny, sometimes witty, and sometimes just a little retarded, but they are always R.A.N.D.O.M.!!!!


Lawd, This Generation!!!

1) What made T.I. decide to appear on a song with Usher about being GUILTY and GOING TO JAIL? Nice song by the way! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNceY5Kxv3s

2) Isn’t it funny/hilarious that people constantly change their PROFILE PICTURES on FACEBOOK? It’s Facebook. How are we going to recognize YOU if you keep changing your FACE?

3) So…Usher RE-INVENTED sex. Was there something wrong with the way TREY SONGZ invented it? Just saying…. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNYs-ZnEmPo

4) Why is it if you like something, it’s GAY or you are obligated to say NO HOMO, but if you don’t like something you’re a HATER?

5) Is it better to be a HOMO or a HATER? Just askin’….

Personally, I like this post...NO HOMO HATER!

Recognize

She is one who knows no limits, fears no obstacle

For she is the calm in every storm
She is never without grace, wise words, nor vision
For she is above pettiness, yet not above all
She has fought, conquered, and succeeded where lesser have failed
For she is triumphant by nature
She is your sanctuary, your support, your rock
For her soul is fed by your need for her

All these gifts she possess, she carefully place in your hands
And pray that you hold her truths in your heart

She is a Goddess

Random Thoughts!! 2

I swear. It’s like a drug with me. Once again, these are just some of the random things that have gone through my mind in the last couple of days. For those of you, who empathize with me, feel free to comment. And leave the number of your therapist, ha!

The Lame Edition!?!?!

1. Does Prince really need to walk around in a shirt with his picture on it? We know who you are? Do you? Well, he is getting up in age…..just sayin….

2. Will Smith’s song “Getting Jiggy with it”, how the hell did this shizz catch on? This was never COOL. More importantly, why do old white people feel the need to let us know they are “Jiggy wit it”.

3. GOLD TEETH in 2010….enough said.

4. I’m still undecided about this twitter phenomenon. I mean why anyone would feel the need to inform everyone of every thought or impulse that runs through their head, I mean…*thinks about blogging* … yeah twitter’s cool.

5. What the hell is a Wacka Flocka…..WTF?

6. “Welcome to McDonalds may I take your order?” NO! Why don’t you just give me whatever you think I should have, since you never give me what the hell I asked for anyway…damn!...Oh you mad, huh!

I can’t get Jiggy wit this! I’m out!

BITTER

I admit it. I am Bitter

Bitter
Because I am a woman scorned
Because love is now a dream deferred
Because forever never comes and
Tomorrow is never promised

So Bitter
That my tongue burns to speak the word love, though my heart can never recognize the concept
That every ounce of sweetness I can muster seems wasted, with none left to share
As time passes, so does the pain
In its wake lies the emptiness of sour buds

I admit it. I am Bitter

Bitter
Because every step forward is met with a familiar shove
Because hard work is rarely appreciated and never rewarded
Because love and loyalty has been replaced with greed and its ugly friend jealously and
Lives are destroyed with no remorse

So Bitter
That even fiction seems real and truth a fallacy
That nobility is ancient and not worth its measure
That coins mean more than hearts and green is no longer exuberant
As the earth spins, so does the minds of youth with no end in sight

How do we come back?
How do we make this right?

I will take one bowl of humanity, two cups of kindness, served with melted hearts and a smidge of honesty.
Can you nestle in a helping hand, a crumb of appreciation, no hate please and

Blend

Add reciprocity, please

Taste

Ahh! Sweetness
At last

Your Song

Your song
Moves me like no other
Takes me to heights unknown
Gives me comfort when I’m restless
Provides warmth to my soul

Your song
Is sweeter than any nectar
Is the remedy for all my ills
Gives me chills
Your song deals me a winning hand
Every time

Give me your melody
Let me sink further into the abyss
Of your harmonic chords
You know me so well
Your voice is my passion
It consumes me

Until

I’m released into a dreamland
Where every worry disappears
Your song
Makes it possible

Jazmine Sullivan - Holding You Down

So...I was listening to the Music Choice Channel, and this slamming, yet familiar beat hit. I was rocking so hard to this. I don't know if this is her new single or what. I'm so feeling this right now. Subject matter: Been there, done that!! Right, right! Is that Missy hyping it up?....This track is E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G.!  -CLH

Who's Holding Your Mirror?

In our darkest hours, we often draw our strength and inspiration from the most unusual sources. We are lucky if the answers to the universe appear to us in the form of an epiphany; yet we are perplexed when a mirror is held to our faces, revealing our true identity and forsaken pathways. But, who is holding this mirror for us?

Without sounding preachy or steering the topic towards religion, I personally believe God makes this possible, as He does all things. I believe He uses every tool in His arsenal to show us our light. For me, this light came in the form of a man.

I was in the midst of running from my problems (doing a really good job of it in fact), searching for entertainment on a popular website. I came across a young man singing, his voice so fascinating to me, I was unable to turn away. However, it was more than that. It was like he had a glow about him, somewhat regal, not pretentious, yet all encompassing. He was definitely an attractive man, yet it was more than that. There was an inner beauty that shone so brightly, it could be witnessed on the exterior. I continued to watch. I was intrigued. He was so humble about his gifts, his beauty, and his talent. I had to know more.

We exchanged comments and messages, and somehow I felt different. I saw myself in him. I saw all that I was, and started to wonder: where did that woman go?
He was not afraid to share his gift with others. He did not seek validation from the masses. He just loved to sing. If you wanted to listen, he wanted to please you. If not…. Oh well.

I was inspired. I started to remember the things that once brought me joy, such as music and art. I started relishing the things I used to do, like writing poetry, designing, sewing and doing hair. I felt young. I felt opened to whatever God and the universe had in store for me. I wasn’t going to let my age dictate that I fit a certain mold any longer. I could be funny, fun-loving, and carefree. I could sing, dance, just do whatever.
I was reintroduced to…..me.

I dedicate this to my new friend and inspiration, Jairus. Thank you for holding up my mirror.
