... the other Black experience
--------------->RAVES! PUT IT OUT THERE!<-----------<3
How about the stuff that goes right?
How about the stuff that inspires us?
No matter how small
It could be a great meal
Extra money on your paycheck
Found $20 on the sidewalk
Helped a little kid learn to tie their shoes...
whatever.

I'm sitting in the public library with my daughter. I left early from work today and picked her up from school. We grabbed a couple of rice bowls, drinks and a candy bar. Now, we're both in the library doing our homework!!!
I got some unexpected money over the weekend. Everyday, I looked on PayPal to see if the funds transfered. I felt soooooooo good being able to send some money to my beautiful sista today. It was her money. I didn't get to see her during AfroPunk fest. I hope she has some fun with the cash.

to all the Afropunkers who assisted me and gave me sound advice in my time of need thank you...special nod to Courtney Crime, Rosenda, Temba, Daoud, and the Machete homie from Chile
everyone else who talked shit, gave me shit, came with the sarcastic passive aggressive vibe...Ill most likely meet up with you one day and spit in your nose....maybe even urinate on your pant leg...who knows....

= So glad to have cable and internet service from home. Those weeks away were a pain and I hated using my phone like I did for my last post. Taking the 'red pill' and glad to be back in the Matrix, ha.

= The teacher we had last year is not coming back, yea! When we had her, it started off cool until she got pregnant with her 3rd girl and was more concerned with moving into her next home than the students. I actually had to step to her a few times about her neglect.
Well she made the right decision this time. She just had her daughter this summer and was going to come back in March (mainly 'cause she was scared of being released after going on her second materinty leave and recent cuts). But she did right by deciding to stay home with her 5 month, 1 year & 5 year old. She can raise her girls, the students can have some consistency, the new sub (who's great and adapted to the clas well) can hold her gig and we, the paraeducators, can have some peace.

The thing I am proud of now is that I help my Dad a few times a week now sine he's slowed down a lot and doesn't drive outside the neighborhood now. Errands, shopping, appointments, prescriptions, taking out trash, moving some things when he needs help. We enjoy speaking with each other and laughing and serious topics too. In a changing unpredictable world, I love my Daddy! He's great and he keeps me balanced when I'm with him.

Sekou, I'm glad I helped in some way. Respect and Peace, Sir!
I rave on Sylvia for reaching out to me now that I'm scared frozen and temporarily stalled in my quest to find a new career and my lifes work. I haven't sent out my interview question project yet and I felt frightened, cause the more I dug for answers, I felt the more questions and confusion and fear I found about my completely unknown future.
Sylvia emailed me and told me it's normal to feel it and that I was moving way faster than shed expected and reality just hit me, and she contacted me to meet soon. I won't give up I can't give up, and I'm learning to forgive myself for not being Superwoman (Yet!). I felt relieved she said that, as a friend and as a professional. Door Is Opening!

I finished that damn paper! It took me for fucking ever!!!!!!!!!! It felt so good sending it off to cyber heaven. Good bye, 6 page paper of horror! I am so happy to be back in school. I met with my professor during office hours yesterday. She's helped me make some decisions about my masters thesis. I just may spend all of next semester in her office, she's so incredible. I'm actually doing this. Yes!!

= I appreciate this time period & situation. Today I woke up, did some exercise, came home & ate before I plugged into anything electric or spoke to anyone. I will not always have this solitude and peace and I'm enjoyong it.
Folks who are in relationships & have families constantly speak on how their private downtime is so rare & valuable; I'm going to openly appreciate it right now. I don't miss having roomates at all and dig seeing my peoples on my own time.
= Joined the matrix even further & got flat screen & blu ray. Using the new store card & building my credit some. The Black Friday deals were ridiculous; wi-fi blu ray for $80 and TV for just above 2 bills? Couldn't resist it. And celebrated my bargins with getting the complete Matrix series for $29, Bookdocks 3 for $15 & Sons of Anarchy blu rays for $19. Occupy retail! Not to mock the 'movement', but I can't pass those deals up.
= Got my read on; finished the one novel and about to finish the bio. And I have a Waxpoetics magazine to read; life is good.
