I See You

What is this I see? What could this be? Perhaps a speck of dust or maybe a piece of lint. Could you possibly be a bead of sweat? Are my eyes playing tricks on me? Maybe its just the lighting in this room messing with me.
I try brushing you off and you’re still here. How [...]

Wordless Wednesday: Bring The Troops Home

Weight Just A Minute!

You think
You say
You feel that I’m too skinny
I think
I say
I know that I’m all right with me
Could it possibly be
You’re so insecure
That you take your frustration
Out on me?
Maybe you’re too fat
By your own standards
I’m just saying
Your weight isn’t an issue
Not in my mind
According to me
You look just fine…

Stand Clear of the Closing Doors: Finding Love in the Big City XVIII

What is it about this 28th year that is forcing me to delve deeper into (cue the Darth Vader sound effect) DARK SIDE?  So I’m a bit spiritual and I do sort of buy into the whole numerology thing – with that in mind 2 + 8 = 10, which is equal to 1 + [...]

Wordless Wednesday: Granny Skates

28

This is an ode to the hairs
that have mysteriously crept onto my chin,
downy black silk
which I can’t ignore as being there.
This is a love song to the hardness of my jaw line;
To the new creakiness in my knees which will slowly
change my sky high fuck-me’s
to boho sand scoopers;
FLIP – FLOP.
Raise your glasses to silicone – [...]

Lil Wayne: The Poet?!

So I admit it – I, like over 2 million other people in this country, I wandered my way into my nearest music store, others into their favorite website or illegally downloaded Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter III.  Yes, for the first time, I have willingly jumped on the bandwagon, and I have to say, his [...]

Money and Friends – Part 1

Money is the root to all evil.
Money makes the world go round.
Cash rules everything around me.
But does money have to come between our friendship?
I received a phone call three weeks ago. My friend was in need of some cash. I can understand it. We’ve all been there. You don’t budget correctly or some unexpected [...]

Wordless Wednesday: (Dirt) Road Side Assistance

Cyber Love

Word on the street is love cannot be found on the internet because you have to be in someone’s presence to experience real love. I don’t agree at all. Love can be felt whether you’re cheek to cheek, or millions of miles away. Love in my opinion is an energy that doesn’t need physical interaction [...]

How Was Your Day? The Describe Yourself Tag.

This tag comes from the good folk at BT. Pardon me for getting to it so late. I’m on CP Time.
Rules:
1. List 6 things that describe yourself today.
2. Add your blog to the list. Feel free to add all your other blogs.
3. Tag other online friends you know.
I’m not about following rules these days and [...]

When Finding Yourself Goes Wrong – Part 3: Finding Love in the Big City XVII

So going to the sea is supposed to be cleansing and energizing at the same time, so going to the beach with a date should bring about feelings of warmth and fuzziness right? Umm. . . WRONG!!!
If it was anyone else’s dating experience, that would be true, but this is the good ‘ol Orange Phoenix [...]
