  When we last left our heroine, she was contemplating whether to go on the date with the bicycle passerby.
  Dating Note # 1: NEVER LET A COMPLETE STRANGER MEET YOU AT YOUR HOUSE.  IF THEY TURN INTO A STALKER, THEN YOU’RE FUCKED.
  Me: Uh, not my house, why don’t we meet here at the train station.
  Man: You [...]

  Stillwell Memories: Ode to Coney Island

  Stillwell Memories: Ode to Coney Island
  How do you say good-bye to
  childhood’s beloved landmarks:
  gritty salty air, stale, but sweet popcorn
  moist and sweaty Cyclone guardrails that barely protect you from falling out
  but just not safe enough to not be condemned.
  Long treks through the history of Hip Hop
  starting in the boogie down with knob filled boomboxes
  blasting KRS-one’s [...]

  Lost My Phone

  Imagine not having your phone on the two busiest days of the weekend, Friday and Saturday. Also, think about the fact that you had a friend coming in from out of the country who wanted to hang out with you. But, because you didn’t have a phone they couldn’t get in touch with you.
  Something else [...]

  I’m an ocean in love with a swamp
  2 deep 4 you
  Your 2 dirty & shallow 4 me
  When we get 2gether
  you get lost inside of me
  My waves are 2 intense
  AND
  Because you dont stand 4 anything
  My currents wash you away
  Still I stay
  Waiting 2 see
  A change or the manifestation of a better day Years have gone by…..

  Who Are You Voting For?

  01.18.08 | Permalink | 4 Comments

  After working the weekend, I’ve come to the conclusion that people are just as confused as I am as to who they may vote for president.
  Here I am having a discussion with the Orange Phoenix, a blogger of Urban Observation, and a couple of other people of color. Someone happens to bring up the topic [...]

  I Woke Up…

  01.08.08 | Permalink | 2 Comments

  I woke up this morning
  Knowing that tomorrow isn’t promised and I am able to experience today.
  I walked out my door this morning
  After preparing myself for what is a day unknown.
  I walked down the stairs this morning
  And saw a little girl lost in the haze of marijuana.
  I walked to the train station this morning
  Knowing that life is precious [...]

  A LIFE IS SENSELESSLY LOST
  A FATHER GONE
  PARENTS LEFT BEHIND 2 MOURN
  A HUSBAND 2 BE, STOLEN AWAY

  To keep up with that work I’m going to take a break from blogging this week.
  There is so much going on right now in my life that I cannot seem to keep up with it all.
