about me
I'm sensitive and fun. I love to laugh and I love to make others laugh. If I don't have at least one day out of the week where I laugh til I cry, I'm having a bad week.
I'm eager to learn and willing to teach what I know. And what I know is that I love music - "old school" is my 'flavah'. I associate music with everything in my life - past and present/good or bad. I think Music is what connects the world - its universal, like love. I love writing, reading and reflecting. I love to pick the minds of those who are not like me. I love to go to the malls and watch people interact with each other. I love to see PDA because it gives me hope that one day, I too will love and be loved again. "There's nothing better than love ..." --- Luther Vandross I collect quite a few things actually: angels, unusually made drinking glasses, matches and soaps from diferent states/hotels I've stayed, african american author books and CDs. I'm currently and happily coming into my own. It took me awhile, but "I wouldn't give nothing for my journey." I'm not there, but I see the light in the distance. Finally, I know who I am, what I want and that i'm 'highly favored."

Why do women chase men? When did things change? Why did they change? Is this a good thing?

thoughts under construction --- more later It's later ... and I'm convinced that this whole thing is simply not right. When I look back over my loves, its the ones that I wanted most who didn't seem to want me as much. And the ones I didn't want as badly loved me fiercly. Its been said that women don't now what they want and that they seem to gravitate to the guys who do not treat them wel... read more
I'm sure I've written about Bobby Womack before. Other than Al Green, I think he may very well be my second favorite artist. His voice soothes and caresses my weary lonely soul. And the lyrics reassure me that everything will be alright - after while.

I lost my father when I was only six but the love he gave me up to that point was so much that I think it is what has sustained me all these years. It is also the reason I think I find that I'm more attracted to 'older' men. I like the emoti... read more
I was listening to the radio yesterday and this blues song came on the radio. I don't know who the artist is but the lyrics of this song really caught my attention.

I think its a very dangerous thing to not care about something anymore. I know people who don't seem to care about much anymore. There was a time when they admit that they did but not anymore. I know what can happen to a person when they care so much about something for so long and then stop. Its usually because someth... read more
A friend of mine gave me a Martina McBride CD for Christmas. I listened to it and thought it was good and didn't listen to it again until a month ago.

One line of the song goes like this: You can love someone with all your heart and they can still just walk away --- love 'em anyway Basically, the song is about doing what feels good even if it doesn't last. Hasn't it already been said that "It is better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all"? For so long I'd closed... read more
There are so many people who assume that being married excuses them from being lonely and or frustrated. I wish I could gather them all together and shake them and bring them to their senses. I wish someone had done that for me.

The misconceptions surrounding marriage are so vast that it is hard to name them all. I have a friend who expressed a wish for a 'counterpart'. I'm not entirely certain that the motive behind the wish is more financial than a need for companioinship. Oh, if o... read more
