I know people who are annoyed with me because I have a song for every conversation and every situation. It's allright. One day, I'm going to stop being scared of my own abilities and write the damn thing.. Then you should watch out. Until then, you have to deal with my poetry and my posts.... But good news awaits you.
My first full day of not working and i get awakened by my mother at 8AM. Seriously, I tried to ignore Erykah Badu screaming "Back in the Day" off my Sanyo 4900 but uhm.... She kept coming around.. So i picked it up. Why did I find my mother screaming at me that I was on the front page of the newspaper!?!?!?
My first reaction, what the hell did i do? Since when did errant temps make front page news? Well Apparently since April 27, 2005.. Okay maybe not completely.
The truth is.. those talents i screamed about yesterday that would possibly pay me more than an extra dollar an hour got my happy arse on the front page of the newspaper.
I've been called a superstar all day.. I don't feel like one.. I am so darn quiet about it all. ;)
anyhood.. i got other things on my mind..
I will protect the lives and motives of the innocent.. But i got things on my mind.. like Love..
What else do i write about? Love/Relationships etc.. have been perplexing me lately.
I have no regrets, just questions. Just thinking. Like.. Today my mind was preoccupied by this interesting specimen of a man I have on my side.
It's not like I don't feel like deserve his love. I am more than deserving. I just feel slow on the come up. We are going on ### weeks. The time is inconsequential really. The fact is: He has on several occasions expressed his affection for me and I feel... inept. Scared to admit anything, scared b/c the last unavailable man I made myself vunerable too.. Didn't have time for me, and didn't treat me or my time with respect as a matter of fact.
But, in walks (ok so maybe he didn't walk in) this intelligent, funny, intriguing, dare i say.. sexy!?!?????!!!, stranger.. who after several casual emails i discover.. is one of the sweetest men i've ever met and after a second meeting and walk down by the waterside i discover he can make me laugh, keeps me smiling, is totally attentive, can hold an intelligent conversation, is crazily in tune with me, and is more than easy to be with.. and i... being the chick that i be..
am tripping. . . were is the soundtrack to your life when you need it ??? im needing mysterious haunting music right here, maybe a dun, dun dunnnnnnnn, not Destiny's Child's "IF" (If you don't know now you know your gonna miss, my love, and I aint' stressing about a gotdunrn thing, b.c i was true when i gave you my love...) ok so maybe in a roundabout way it fits.. but the point is..
I've been looking for flaws in this man for about uhm.. 3 weeks.. he has none.. maybe he doesn't tower above me, but we see eye to eye, on almost everything. Maybe he's not a mandingo warrior, but who really needs one of those anyway? The reality is he is so attentive to me, I want to ask ...."who let you get a hold of and let you study my manual!?!?! ! ! !" I demand answers.. or you can just do that thing again.. ;) Maybe, he's ignorant and rude as all get out.. But no he's not, he sends me good morning txt msgs, calls just to say hi, sends emails just b/c, he is genuine in all of his actions.
When I asked about some news story we both didn't have the info for, he looked it up and sent it to me. He's honest, creative, attentive, unattached, a beautiful specimen of man and i'm wondering.. Why do i feel the need to find flaws in him?? Wonder why I feel the need to have more time to reconsider my stance here.. I don't know. It really is a no brainer.. I need to let go of the past. The future is standing before me attentive and generous and real...
I hope i don't fuck it up. You know how good at self sabotage i can be ....

He walked a lil different
had his own swagger unlike any Id seen before
had a way of preguesing me
anticipating my next move
overstanding me and being in unison thought
cant stop from smiling
its his fault I am anyway
Pours out his emotion effortlessly and I'k taken aback
my heart and soul have been on pause
watching and waiting for so long
didnt know pressing play now
only meant I'd move forward, move on past the previous screen
new plot, new lines, new show
the screenplay changes as the season does now
brighter, warmer, more inviting
but the lighting wasnt quite right
and I cant stand being too hot
and the wardrobe aint particularly my taste
he entered stage left instead of front
um.... there was no director on set
So he improvised instead of sticking to the script
he, he, dammit he changed the rules changed the game
and I'm waiting for the fall
waiting for the end before I let the beginning to leave a mark
he is a different specimen of a man
an unattached, attentive, creative and beautiful specimen
got me in a fog of lyrics
you stung as if you knew I'd sting right there, you shouldn't know these things about me"
But he does
He's a little different
as am I
A just because kinda guy
might just be finding his reflection in me
and I have to wonder why?
" dont ever wonder"
damn these songs
why cant I THINK straight?
why are my palms sweaty?
I blush all kinda colors
I ahve to force my smiloe to appear smaller
beg my heart to quiet down
Hope he doesnt see my flaws, even the minute ones
like how i can break into song on and in all occasions
his shoes aint quite right, hope thats his only flaw
ready to stop looking for the flaws, if he'll pretend to blind to mine...ready to just be
