Adventures in Writers' Block

So.

I haven't written anything decent since October. And by anything decent...I mean anything. Noooooooooooooo words. Grr.

Poems are stupid.

Adventures in Black History

So.

A homie of mine, Chinaka Hodge, has been doing an awesome job this month of exposing the masses to folks of the African Diaspora that will be making history in the near future. This project also does a great job of linking Black Future with Black History in her often witty, always insightful way.

We will ignore the fact that I have made no contribution to Black History month besides featuring Black folks on the Quote of the Day wall in my classroom.

We will also ignore the fact that I'm using the word "homie" here to mean extremely talented sister that I've never met but occasionally stalk on YouTube because she and her crew of artist friends are that dope.

What we won't ignore, is this opportunity to experience something awesome. Peep the sidebar to the left, and click on ThickWitness. Or the lazy bits can shortcut and click here. I dare say that Miss Hodge is a bit of Black Future herself.

Peace Be

*Note: you can stop giggling about the bit of stanaticism there at the end. You people know I'm sensitive.*

Adventures in Illness

So.

I've been flirting with illness now for the past two weeks, successfully keeping it at bay while also pretending to take of care of my friend with the flu. We were astounded by the fact that I was not getting sick. Excited about not getting sick. I sang extra praise to Jesus on Sunday...raised both arms....shook my tambourine, I was so gleeful about the not getting sick.

And today. Mm.

Today is day two of laying on the homie's couch...with...pseudo-sickness. That annoying limbo between sick and not-sick where you feel too well to be laying on the couch, but too un-well to get off of said couch. Granted....I did too much yesterday. If I hadn't done so much, I probably could have gone to work today...but now I'm paying the price.

I need 8 multi-vitamins, some echinacea, 3 glasses of cayenne pepper tea, and a massage.

That should do the trick.

Peace Be
