Homecoming...

Buenos dias! How is everyone? I am well, in spite of, trying to achieve some semblance of regularity here...after this weekend! I am in the airport waiting on this flight. I missed the first one, which was a major disappointment, but I need to count it all joy right? I am safe and sound, in my right mind, and am listening to Janet Jackson's Can't be good which sounds like Micheal, because someone slowed the vocals down and manipulated it to sounds almost exactly like him.

On another note, everyone please check out soulmana.com, my dear friend and one of my inspirations in life, Mr. Michael Manasseh, is about to release his first non hip-hop instrumental album, entitled Rocketship Down. I am super excited about it, and also encouraged at the obedience that my brother has shown. I consider myself a pretty talented cat, but my design talent is nowhere near that of Manasseh's...nowhere near, lol! Yet when the Spirit of God speaks to his heart in a way that is at the very least counterculture, he listens. It is definitely an example to consider in all of our lives.

Well I might write more later on, but now I need to make like a bird and fly! See some of you in DC!

Sparse and few between...

That will be and has been the theme of the last month in regards to my blogs. I apologize to all of you for that, because I truly enjoy writing, but cannot do so for the circumstances, because life is life! My job has not really allowed me to blog consistently due to the fact that Grandma and I don't have internet at the house, and that library closes hours before I even arrive home from work. I have been able to catch the signal from the parking lot, but will be more hesitant about trying that now that I was pulled over last night.



Indeed, last night I was maybe a mile and a half from the home, talking to the lovely Raquiyba, when in mid-sentence lights flashed on behind me. I immediately informed her, then pulled off as quickly as possible. The officer came over and asked me for my license and registration, which I promptly provided. He then proceeded to ask me if I had any weapons or drugs in the car, to which my answer was and will always be NO! (Especially on the drugs part) He then told me to pull off the road, which I did. Then he told me to pull up more, which I also did. All the while, in the back of my mind was a potential of re-hash of 2+ years ago, but in the front of my mind were prayers to Christ for His protection and grace. Thankfully there was no re-hash and I emerged unscathed and with a warning to which I definitely will heed. I had no idea about the tag light. Now I know, and knowing is half the battle!



I need to move on with the rest of the day now! I ended up taking the day off because my boss said I could not have a half day to work...fair enough! I am going to maximize it though and try to order some business cards and also attend a seminar on teaching in Broward county and applying for free scholarship money. The cancer of slothfulness is now in PERMANENT REMISSION and my grind is ON!

Talk to you all soon...or will I? Lol...
