getting back up to speed

i think i am getting back into speed of things. life is not slowing down but after recovering from a recent slump, i am geared up and ready to play hard ball.

alot has happened in my life and it seems so easy to focus on the negative things in life. instead of giving light on the negative, i am going to rejoice in the beautiful. my sister, my mother, and my roommate just celebrated another revolution completion of their earth daysi; had been to massachusetts and oregon in less than two weeks; i had witnessed the most amazing hip hop show of the year so far starring native guns and common; i had the honor of performing with the women of bc (and al robles, allison de la cruz, and nobuko); i was in a panel discussion for the "facing race 6" conference at ucsb. i mean the list goes on and on.

so praise god the many blessings and for sending my friends to keep me together. on with life and on with the healing...

so first things first



go see shrek 2. it's not as funny as the first one but it is still very good and still pretty funny.

you know, phloe likened me to shrek. "you are like shrek. wanting to be loved for who you are." i didn't know if i should agree with her or poke her in the eye. although he and i may have the same shape nose, i don't see myself as an ogre. boooo!
