I was recently separated from my laptop for 2 weeks. I’m proud to say I survived without it, although I did experience separation anxiety after 9 or 10 days. I just started longing for it, you know? So now we’re together again and I’m one happy camper, LOL.

In other news, haven’t said anything on here in some time. Well, greatness can’t be rushed. I’d like to take this opportunity to give a shout out to my mum for penning her first novel!!! Woot woot!! LOL, more on that later.  😀 Stay tuned, guys.

Hey y’all. 😀 I’ve got a buzz from watching a dance movie, Take the Lead. I love dance. Really. Tango, salsa, flamenco, hip-hop, swing, tap….the possibilities are endless. And the feeling? The feeling is uplifting, satisfying, fulfilling. Dance takes you to another place, a place where rhythm rules and all you have to do to enjoy it is go with the flow. Music is sublime. Sometimes when I hear a beat my body starts moving of its own volition, LOL.

I think that’s part of why I enjoy dance movies so much, some of the beats are crazaayyyy. Makes you wanna get up and shake it! More often than not I do just that. I remember the first time I heard Carry Out by Timbaland featuring Justin Timberlake; my derriere just started moving, I dunno how it happened. I was lying on my stomach, mind you, but still I rocked that track. Or when I learned how to do Beyonce’s booty shake from Crazy in Love when it just came out. Good times, good times.

I really should invest in an iPod. I mean I take my music everywhere, might as well get a mobile device for music only. And Bose headphones. Well, that’s my Christmas list sorted. 😀

Hey cyberspace. I’m at a crossroads right now. On the outside looking in, trying to figure out where I belong. It’s time for something new, something different, but what? The last time I really wanted to shake things up I dyed my hair purple. LOL, that was tight. Especially when the colour turned electric blue. Don’t ask me how, I have no idea.

Anyway, water off ma back. I grew weary of putting so much effort into something that was dysfunctional. Like, crazy dysfunctional. Silly me, I thought things could only improve. I do miss the good times but life goes on and there’s already enough drama, thanks. Funny how something changes right before your eyes yet you don’t notice because it’s so subtle and gradual, eventually so oppressive you need space to just breathe.

Sitting cross-legged facing my laptop, my head in my hands, I mourn what is lost. But hey, it’s only temporary right? Yes indeed.

I wanted to blog today. I really did. But I can’t think of anything. I wanted to craft something exquisite, a deeply meaningful piece so vivid it burns itself into your memory. Sigh. Alas, that’s not gonna be today. All I can think of are snippets of my everyday life. That’s what diaries are for, right? Or not, I mean one can still record them here as long as they’re interesting. Nobody reads blogs that bore them to tears. Well, I don’t. It’d defeat the whole purpose of reading in the first place.

OK I’m off to edit my earlier posts, at least I had some things to say then.

As I write this, a wry chuckle escapes me. I just figured out the answer to something that puzzled me greatly for a long time, hurt me even. What was it? Well, it’s personal. Let’s just say there’s closure now.

I wonder why it is that people lose their nerve when it comes to telling the truth. Why do falsehoods trip off the tongue at 90 words per minute but the truth causes a sudden stutter? I find it intriguing. I mean, if you can be creative about the way things are, you should also have the guts to be real about the way things actually are. If you can pledge your loyalty but find yourself unable to keep that pledge, you should have the honour to say so. If you make a promise you can’t keep, admit it. In a throwback to an earlier post, say what you mean and mean what you say. Have the courtesy to let others know when you change your mind about something they’re involved in. Tell them where they stand. Or is it just too hard to do? Continue reading →
