Thanks...

01) my girl... i think i'm finally learning how to relax and just be....
02) one spectacular set on saturday... good to remember what it felt like to do poetry w/out egos and pretenses...
03) the circle of women that sustain me in life and those who guide me through whispers (my village)...
04) talking to my boy yesterday. he still knows how to make me laugh, think and smile.... and i love him for it all...
05) one wonderful weekend with 3 teenage boys... all of which are capable of becoming strong black men and leaders.
06) 7:45 service.... yes i made it...
07) vicariously pursuing my PhD through you.... I am totally lost in Blin, i can't put it down... however; she says i don't need another reason to think too much and OVER ANALYZE ANOTHER'S THOUGHT. hahahahahaha
08) not giving into the madness.. and yes, it's all madness!
09) a basketball buddy. it felt like old times...
10) a standing on one foot, under an awning, with one ear toward the ground and a finger toward the heavens message... just wanted you to know i was thinking about you.
11) a randomly charged adventure through conversation and internet regarding romantic spots... ugh, you're making me want to go on a honeymoon
12) your reluctance to speak... yes, it's okay.. believe me, i question the necessity in continuing to act as if.. in youth and lesser experiences we take sides.. once you've been burnt enough to be jaded by adulthood you take a stance. i've taken a stance. my stance has nothing to do with you, just where i want to be in MY life. i didn't make your decision(s), you did. it wouldn't be the one i would have made... but.. hey... i'll always be here MINUS the bullshit.
13) G.O.D. every breath, every step toward progress, even if it's one backward or to the side.. you always point me in the right direction.

Special Bonus... recognition of family... blood and ties.

Good stuff!
Great set on Sat. happy to be apart of it. And I agree with Angel on the PhD (lol). And the honeymoon-thanks for the advice and help I think we've made a decision. The Creator-more than enough!

Hearts curve (your village)

it's great that you can pursue your ph.d vicariously through me! i mean, what good is education if it isn't shared? and besides, i told you that my classes have the BEST books! was i right? ;-)
