Laundry Basket.


It has been at least a week meaning its safe to post again. Like I said before I don't like posting to often I feel like it makes them invalid. We need a little mystery in our lives a little excitement I hate to quote the scriptures but its a book like any other "Patience is a virtue" and I'm well worth the wait. Currently in florida and feeling kinda down not any one thing but just a general feeling. Dirty laundry we all have it every day we acquire more, sometimes we loose some and it never gets cleaned. We even go as far as to let other people clean our dirty laundry, Trusted individuals though like a mom or a grandmother or a sister/brother. Some of us never want another human soul to see our laundry so we stuff it in closest or push them under beds and smile like the laundry is in the draws where they belong. Some of us could care less we bear it like a badge of honor letting everyone see the mud-stains and the blood and the life that we acquired that we lived through (myself being one of these individuals). Some of us go to great lengths to clean the laundry or generally get rid of it, Hand washing Laundromat dry cleaners I dare say back yard bonfire. The point is how we deal with it tells us a great deal about that individual. So stop and ask how do you deal with it?
I wanted to post something for a few days but nothing quite spoke to me I guess I needed my entourage fix to put life back into perspective (the show was postponed due to July 4th). Had a recent family event where Like always I played the bigger man. Thats the story of my life always taking the high road. Being the bigger individual for the sake of someone else's ego. I pointed something out to my grandmother the other day because we are kindred spirits, I said Grandma at what point do we stop shutting up and apologizing when do we take a stand and what she said was real but disheartening: "Never, Because once you start letting stuff get to you, your blood pressure rises all types of bad things start happening and you die". Granted it makes a whole heap of sense, but it sucks to know I will always be stepped on my entire life because I have a passive personality. To make matters even worse while typing stepped on I said to myself I don't care if people step on me its just ego and I'm secure with who I am (or at Least what I figured out so far no pork, plenty of white wine, deep love of women, and Bill Mahr) Ehhh (thanks K for the great conversational starters) I say don't let the little things bother you, or the big things for that matter lets all just try to stay alive. So I say to my Trekkies and everyone else "live long and Prosper".

My country, 'tis of thee, Sweet Land of Liberty.


July 4th, and I'm In C.T. visiting the sister unit and her family. I like to think of myself as a patriot a pridefull american, also a man of honor. While watching the fireworks I had a moment albee a bit corny, I placed my hand over my heart and recited the words to our countrys "anthem" And the rockets red glare and bombs bursting in air gave proof through the night that our flag was stilllll there. I tingled in my toes and fingertips was in the pre-cry mode where your throat swells up and your eyes water but no actual tears come out. Why? because I stood and reflected and I thought about what my fellow country men years, and years, and years ago had to endure for me to enjoy this moment in a free country. I want to think I really understood the depth of their sacrifice and ask myself if I would have been courages enough to follow suit. Would I have Left my farm and family to fight for equality and my peace of the pie, I hate to get racial but Im black its a fact of life. At that time period would I have been able to fight side by side with my fellow citizens I honestly do not know. I take no offense to the notion that I might have not been able to because I know it would have not been done out of malice but of ignorance. As I get older I start to appreciate the Finer things in life and freedom is top of the list (that and white wine) So I say thank you to the men who stood before me So I can stand now. Hopefully one day I will make an inpact and some guy 234 years from now will write about me and thank me for allowing him to do what I hopefully graciously did today.

Mr. Potato Head.


Back, Still in Miami though . Defiantly a Duality that you have to love about Miami. Its Beautiful and the weather is amazing and It is perpetually hot. While being so hot no one goes out side and enjoys the beauty we all have to remain in "Ac'd" quarters just avoid heat stroke. So its a win and a loss just like most things in life. Lets get straight to the "meat and potatoes" (the main dish) mixed emotions will be the death of us all. With that said we can move on to the desert the part we all came for anyway, the 10 seconds of bliss after the grueling task. I have come to the conclusion that if life is a learning lesson then we are all Mr Potato heads. Now lets understand why.
As we are independent and go out into the world and make somewhat of our own decisions we meet people and from these people we learn and grow as individuals and they learn and grow from us. We have our life experience that teach us or "prepare" us for other life lessons that we will learn (crazy cycle don't you think). O.K. When we were small well me at least I was fortunate enough to own a Mr Potato Head doll and my sisters each had one as well. The toy if you never had one comes with mix and match parts so you can get creative and make him your own. That is Exactly what everyone is we are all Mr potato heads, In essence we are mixes and matches of our own experiences mixed in with what we have learned from other people. from our teachers our parents, failed relationships, In my case random strangers I meet every day. And we take a part of them with us A "leg" (which is something we learned from them) and we give them a little bit of us to take with them some knowledge or insight we teach them that we learned from our travels or got from someone else.
In the end we come out all discombobulated but we are truly one of a kind and our own.
