I may be down sometimes...

but I won't be down always.
- Sounds of Blackness

You don't remember Sounds of Blackness? For real? Child, you better stop playing. Sounds of Blackness me straight back to my childhood. I can clearly remember when I was around 8 years old and my mother, step-father, brother, and I went to the airport to pick up my grandma from the airport - which seem SO FAR when I was younger in Kansas City. I am talking about I was asking to bring pillows and blankets in the car because it felt like a SERIOUS PUMP! But now, I live in NYC and that's nowhere near Kansas City, Muh-zoor-uh! I digress. So yeah, I remember it clearly hearing -



I just needed this motivational music in my life. School has me stressed, working has me stressed, health has me stressed, people are TRYING to have me stressed, and I just had to take a step back. My flight leaves at noon for Kansas City so I can go to my cousin's funeral. So yeah, I am not packed. Hey hey hey...but I am feeling a lot better. It will be good to see my family which I haven't seen in a while. Not to mention, I went back to my therapist last name, it's been a while. Why am I sharing my business? Because as you will see, I am so EVERY aspect of health, and in this repressive and supressive (sp?) society it is muy importante to release. So I felt/feel more hopeful about many things in/about life. Shortly, after leaving my therapist I went to Barnes and Noble to get a book before I go to KC and I run into Mos Def at the Barnes and Noble on 23rd and 6th Ave. We had crossed paths before. But it was good to actually touch base. I told him about the work I have been doing (Production Assistant for Miracle at St. Anna's) and about to make this international thing happen. So I am going to keep him and others in the know, as well. To be real, those that are willing to invest will not be disappointed in what will result of aiding my voyage around the world. I will right more, later.

Now, I am about to get myself together. I have to make sure that I pack my Spanish homework and work for my Annetoted Bibliography - baby, I am just as lost as you with the latter assignment. But it will be FFFFFIIIIIEEERRRCCCCEEEE when I figure it out....YYYYEEESSS!!!!

Many embraces,
