I'm currently having a ball in lovely downtown Atlanta, blogging from a public library right down the street from my motel. *grin!* It's just nice to put my feet up. And the spectacular view makes me wanna do thangs, do thangs! *LOL!*
Yesterday was a cool day. I finally got to pay some bills, so I erased the anxiety of expecting stuff to shut down at any moment. That feels nice! I'm proud of myself! I didn't go crazy, but I did have breakfast at a favorite spot up here, got a new tote and did a little CD shopping. Well, I almost bought a digital camera, enticed by the last tax-free day, but I held out and decided to wait.
The issue isn't really reparations, but I am furious. This particular issue is about how I deal with rage. I feel that if I express it with eloquence, I will progress.
September 11th is less than a month away. I'm determined to enjoy some much-needed rest and relaxation, so I plan to be elsewhere. Perhaps in Southampton County, Virginia ...
My friend Philippe is flying to Brasil tonight. Send him good spirit and wish him travelling mercies.
So many of my friends have been talking about them and I'm convinced. And I haven't even heard Waltz For Koop yet. The video for Summer Sun is one of the most gorgeous I've seen, next to Osunlade's Rader Du (featuring Wunmi and those FIERCE little Black girls) ...
I'm going to name the things that's helping me to pull through: pulling my friends into the world of The Sims, the wonderful Paradigm from Osunlade (deliciously pictured above) *hug!*, money to help keep stuff on *hug!*, technologically empowering a certain friend and just talking and chit-chatting with folk. Makes me feel like I'm still in the world, even though I've been quite reclusive.
As I challenge myself to deconstruct and redefine how I engage and nurture different types of relationships, someone that I really like tells me of the crush he has on me.
