Turtle Life 2012 — the resurrection

Here

I can only forgive, try to understand and love regardless. I will not go back to being bitter. I will not go back to anger [...]
Release

I’ll ride the wave
Where it takes me
I’ll hold the pain
Release me
Conversation @ work: my daily struggle

An excerpt from an email to a friend..
I have so long tired of working in an environment where speaking with people of our race is split between broken English concealed through thick African accents and/or institutionalized Ebonics. Where subject matter rarely rises above sports or the appeal of some woman’s phat ass.

Closed my laptop in anger

I just closed my laptop in anger.
I just looked at myself in anger.
I just regarded my job with disgust.
Drops of jupiter

Always loved the song Drops Of Jupiter by Train. I kind of identified with the lyrics. A recent situation brought it to mind and as I sang the words to myself I realized just how poignant the song was to what I was going through.
Fish without water

My art is how I breathe. Take it away from me and I become as the proverbial fish out of water, flailing and flopping about trying to get precious oxygen back into my blood.
