You Have the Floor..


The month is almost over already and this is only my second post of the month. I've had a lot going on and did not feel genuinely inspired to blog over these past weeks. For the past few days though, I've been feeling my blog gears turning again from the changes that have been happening around me and within.

It is amazing how no matter how "bad boy" I feel, when the dust settles, I'm always staring the "spiritual me" directly in the eyes. I am constantly reminded that no matter how thin I spread the connection from my end, it always seems to grow thicker when I look at again.

As I mentioned, I've been going through some changes within me. I'll admit it, I've been acting desperate..acting needy and doing and saying a lot of things that stem from that desperation and neediness. This desperation and neediness feels like such a natural thing.....when you're in "need" of something. Then randomization spreads over my thoughts from one thing to another and it dawns on me that I don't know what or how to feel at this point.

There are so many plaguing emotions and thoughts to front....the constant workload and responsibility of my studies, managing my household and financial resources as it is relative to such, taking care of me, dealing with me, being with me, soothing me...it being only me. It's not easy doing any of those things. There's so much depending on me, it seems. So the things that once worked, no longer do. There's a bigger picture trying to shine through, thus said my spirit and because I didn't/don't fully recognize "the call", I identify it as a disturbance making me imbalanced and causing me to keep trying to fill a void from something that's trying to come to me, already complete.

Then this song came through my shuffle....

That's it. What is this thing within me? Is this the making of something great? Am I in the makings of being someone great? Did all of the other "greats", as we've deemed them, gone through this same thing?

Or

Is this all me? Is this just for G? So, I petition.....show me the desires of my heart. Yes, I know that I have my hopes and dreams, I know that I've been single all my life and lonely and depressed more often than not lately because of it but...show me. Yes, my responsibility is increasing but...show me. Yes, I see all of these different roads and avenues that could lead to endless possibilities but......show me. Yes, I have more now than I've ever had before but I still petition for you to show me. If you do, then and only then can I be sure.

So, you have the floor.

Then by the end of the song, I began to find out just as she did...the answers for my own heart.

Clarity awaits. No, I don't see it, but I believe on it. It'll unfold.

In what ways can you believe on it in your life today?

My Wish List for April

Welcome to the return of my wish list for this month! Ok..Let's get started...


Topping my list this month is...



Samsung 32" Series 3 Flat Panel LCD HDTV Retail price: $799

Ok, this tv had to top my list this month being that I am a newly proud owner of one of these. I've never experienced watching television quite this clear and with such high definition. I have it in my bedroom and let me tell you, if you ever want to see what it can really do, turn to Animal Planet or The Discovery Channel....unlike anything you've ever seen.

Next on my list for this month is



Bedford Retangular Desk Retail Price: $649.00 Desk Chair(s) Retail Price: $199- $379


I have been in love with this desk since first seeing it in Pottery Barn. Although I don't have the little bookcase up top, I do have the matching chair and it fits the house nicely. It's all solid wood and very heavy, coming in three pieces. In the picture it looks smaller than it really is but I think it'll transition well from facing a wall to being in the middle of a room and the best thing is that you can add pieces to this, extending into any kind of unit you'd like or need. Go check it out! Gotta love Pottery Barn.


Next!



D&G Dolce & Gabbana, Geometric Swim Trunk Retail Price: $175.oo

Yes, yes....it's spring time and I'm dying for a vacation! I think these trunks are just what I need to lay around on someone's beach. Aren't they just lovely?

Moving on to...


A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose by Eckhart Tolle Retail price: $24.95

I am very much interested in reading this book when I can get to it. I've been hearing Oprah talk a lot about this lately. I'm wondering how enlightening and effective it is. It may be saying the same things that we've all heard before but you know that timing is everything. I hope to check this book out very soon.

and...


El San Juan Hotel & Casino, San Juan Puerto Rico Nightly Rates: $180-$1000+

I've been talking about a vacation constantly lately and would sooooooo love to get away, possibly to this destination or one like it. Now that view is a big difference from 6pm traffic on I85. I'll be wishing on this one for a minute.

Finally...


Yorkshire Terrier Price Range from $600-$2300

Yes, yes, yes....isn't she lovely? I am so thinking about getting me a little being in the house with me and a little lady or gentlmen like this may have my name on it. These dogs are gorgeous. I still have my names too. If it's a boy, Peanut, and a girl, Gracie.

~GI's Juke Joint~

Welcome to GI's Juke Joint!

The featured "sanger" for this session is Ms. Ann Nesby! I came across this video a few days ago, which was recorded at Ashford and Simpson's Sugar Bar in NY. This ain't no lil' cute video with cute singin'! She got ugly and completely ridiculous. It reminded me of the way songs were and are sung back home. If we couldn't do anything else in the country, we could eat and sing! lol Anyway, the next 8 minutes and 19 seconds is going to be intoxicatingly delightful! Enjoy!

Sang Shug!!!

@ Random


  • Isn't it amazing how fast this month and year is passing by? It's almost April, already.

  • I'm looking forward to the summer months and the warmer weather this year. I wonder what this summer's gonna bring?

  • I am in desperate need of a vacation. I love Atlanta but I need a break. Speaking of which, I was looking at Cabo Azul Resort or Aqua Cancun for my birthday this year. I mean I never do anything special for my birthdays...we'll see.

  • I'm trying to figure out why they're coming out with all these new cars and I can't get ONE!? (Gary don't you say nada, nuthin, nufftin!!)

  • I've been reading a lot of bad reviews about Meet the Browns lately and despite all that, I'm still going to see it. I'm a normal supporter of Tyler and still think the stage plays are hilarious.

  • I think I'm bipolar. How else can I explain these extreme highs and then valley lows all in the matter of an hour at the time? Somebody look up Bobby Brown so I can ask him for his prescription.

  • Is it ok to date a friend's ex or ex fling? Is it in a rule book somewhere?

  • Why do I cringe everytime my phone rings? Could it be the scars from working in a call center?

  • I've been feeling some kinda way lately. I'm so used to being a master of disguise with my internal trials. Things are starting to seep out...who I really am is beginning to show. Who touched my veil?!

Miss Celie Blues

I feel the need to blog but can't reach the words to express myself. Lately, I've been fixated with our beloved "The Color Purple". Most of all, I've been smitten with the character of "Celie".



I can't articulate my feelings into words but this scene....I'm living in this scene at the moment. How so? What part? I can't answer that so your interpretation is free for the taking but I do know.

Have a productive Tuesday.

In the Playground of my Imagination

Tonight I'm dwelling in the playground of my imagination. Don't mind me...

This song began to play....I closed my eyes really tightly and slowly received each word...then my vision was complete. I saw my "you" in the song that I already love just because....

With my eyes still closed, I can feel the heaviness of love in my heart, you know that funny feeling you get when you are falling in love....feels like butterflies...except they flutter in the very center of the chest where that dip is in between the breast bones.

This one's for me. I don't care if this sounds delusional. I'm sending this one out to you where ever you are tonight...and when we find each other, we'll both come back to this posting and the next time we post this song, it'll be our reality.

I'm digging deep on this one my friend....don't be afraid...go ahead and close your eyes and imagine and feel what's being sung...

The playground of my imagination is so rich....I love...I live....the rapture of love is here. I have faith in it....love is on the way....

PMS (Petty Men Stuff)

But there's one thing about it, I'm hopeful and I'm here...

"PMS"


But, life goes on...it still happens. I can't get it together today. Aside from the biological aspect of this song, it's the only one that expresses me right now. This ain't right, that ain't right. Ain't satisfied with a thing. So much to do and don't feel like doing it. So far to go but hell, I'm tired. Don't want to hear "It'll be alright.." No, it will not be alright! Keep your issues to yourself...I could care less. Still thinking about those fools...why do they seem to be winning? Ain't satisfied with a stitch in that closet and ain't nothing fitting right...all that working out and metabolism consumes the muscle mass before anything happens. What's the point? Furiousness to the 2nd power...what a space to be in. Uggh..get away..
