Bloggin 365: Day 5

I miss her. I miss how she said I love you seemingly unprompted by anything I had done. I miss each syllable she sang as she sang to me. I miss the way I felt when she executed each run effortlessly. I miss how she would giver herself to me and then blamed me for her inability to resist. I miss the beginning of us, which led me to the first real exposure of my heart. I miss the woman who showed me I was not ready? I. Miss. Her.

How Social Networking Affected My Vision

I just met a very interesting sister from South Africa, and I was having a conversation with my boy Scott about the email exchanges I’ve had with her as well as others online. The world is not as big as it once seemed to me.

Bloggin 365: Day 4

I know that God hears me and has always been listening. I know that God sees me and has always been watching. His watching must be similar to the way in which I can watch a baby. I can observe the baby while the baby is completely oblivious to my presence. Or His watching must be similar to the sleeping child with a tooth underneath a pillow resting soundly unaware of the loving parent prepared to replace the tooth with a coin. For a time the child will live in the illusion that the tooth fairy came, however at some point the child comes to know it was the parent all along.

Bloggin 365: Day 3

I have candles burning and I’m sitting quietly thinking….. waiting for the right words to write. Wondering what I am going to share and knowing I won’t know until something reveals itself. I’m filled with nervous energy but I have clarity about why I feel like this. These are unscripted and relatively unfiltered thoughts I am about to share and that’s where the nervous energy comes from. I say relatively because I’m not ready to be fully naked yet, in fact I may never be.

Bloggin 365: Day 2

Well this is day two in the bloggin 365 series and I suppose in the strictest sense of things I’m late with this post. It is 1:31 AM (I’m such an around the clock dude) and this would be day three. Whatever!

Bloggin 365: Day 1

So I begin bloggin 365, not sure where this is going to go but I begin now. My primary goal is to share consistently my thoughts, feelings and an occasional event or two from the day that was. The operative word here is consistently. Writing regularly is not new to me, daily writing in my journal is something I had attempted to do for years and finally established it as a habit in 2005.

I Make My Life What It Is

Sometimes I have to say out loud, “I make my life what it is!” I choose to get up or sleep in. I choose to be on time or not. I choose to make an excuse or not care what another thinks about something I have or haven’t done.

Today I Will . . .

I was just thinking back to the time when I was being held hostage by someone else’s taste in radio stations. I was in their car and still 15 minutes or so away from our destination, so I quietly accepted the music which I would never hear in my own car. We covered all of [...]

We Are All Responsible For Our Own Lives

OK, don’t get me wrong here; I know we are all responsible for our own lives. No matter what we face in our time here on the planet, we individually must navigate life. Even when it appears that someone else has made a decision for us, we have still made the decision to allow ourselves to be governed by another’s choice. If, by chance, you can’t agree with what I just said, sit with it a while.

Missed Opportunities of the Past are Learning Opportunities in the Present

Many years ago I rapped with Ice T in a club called The Workshop in Los Angeles, California. I blew off an opportunity to do some work with Lil Jon back in 1998 during Freaknic in Atlanta, Georgia before he blew up because I was doing my own thing and he didn’t seem very important to me.
