seems happier, yet more OFF her own mark/center.

ok, so i can drop any mp3 onto a track in garageband. how awesome. so basically i can sample anything i get my hands on, say like PRN’s scream in Gett Off.

thinking lots about game shows in my semi-waking thoughts. something about even watching some on GSN today… kimberley locke’s upcoming host duties were great along those lines.

ok, i’m going through the always going periodicals pile…

Weems’ viewpoint piece here is a good, thoughtful, welcome piece. (Too, I appreciate hearing from the non-blacks, if you will. (is that insulting?)) I would prefer he use the word, and thinking, that is ’subjects of same-sex desire’ though. * Had to laugh at the Arsenio quote as the Ex says he’s long-time love of Johnny Gill (!). And mysteriously 10+ years later is never with the ladies… very aqueerian camp him, chris rock, eddie murphy… - wonder how Aqu is on Eddie’s chart…

Purportedly is an Aries with Cancer rising. (His idol Bill Cosby’s Cancerian. As well, he does some great impersonations of BC.) Curiously, the cancer rising is in the very last degree, making his 7th house pretty much Aquarius. Also, his Jupiter is in early Aquarius, modestly conjunct Arsenio’s Sun, I believe.) So queer’d relationships could certainly be in the mix for Mr. Murphy. (His part of fortune is also in aquarius, though in his 8th house. [My sun is before, and conjunct, his 8th house cusp.]

8,3 * moon Tau * Tower * It’s all good * prn-ly “Special”

so i’m bouncing around amog blogs, news sites/emails, etc.

enjoyed slate piece that says why hillary COULD win ‘08 on several counts, finishing with why she mayn’t. (of course, she has to run first folks!)

feel like reading today - not sure if that’s book or mag(s). so will nudge on those in a moment.

also feel some new writing ideas fermenting. curious to see what those are on the surface (conscious side) of my mind.

going to Fresh Fruit Festival last night really FED my person. let’s vibe and do more of this tlc/self-love for it also fuels my creativity, hope, supporting the community * would love to be a (co-)financier of something with Buttafly soul at/sharing the helm, though the one woman B L E W me away with her love poems (more so the first, though the 2nd with music was so, yum, warm to hear - either available for purchase?)

it’s not really time for me to network. to listen, write, and participate first in some self-fulfilling, self-replenishing ways.

Falcon’s Josh Weston as a sailor in navy whites. * Not sure of the story as weekend leave is so familiar, and obvious. Maybe I can play with and get to Chris Steele…

dreams last night

Mother is driving me a different (?quicker) way to this store or something. I see Pops coming out of a swimming pool at a nearby complex. Seems like we take the long way there, and still not qiute arriving.

Mel(odee) is looking for some vending machine drugstore back room to dispense a small tube (or jar) of hair grease. Her bangs need some attention. The rest of her do was addressed by a stylist early within the last week, and left the bangs for Mel to do.

from night before

davidm in an interrogation room, behind a desk. (Sort of like Cathy’s O’Brien’s at work, small, square.)Two tall men are aggressively inquiring, grilling him about some things. He’s seeming cool, collected, while answering, yet scared beneath the exterior. I know they’re not cops, yet he could be in quite some trouble. I am concerned, though not moved either way. Like this is information To Know.

Want to say I’m- Not mad, angry or sad. More fired up, spurred on, and PUSHed to dream better & bigger while working with God™ to do My thingS!

Frederick Smith discusses road to publishing his 1st novel, which maybe something I’d like to option. Naysayers - step off! Realists - do a D’s advocate thing and let’s REFRAME this Peace.
