“You” – Monifah

It’s not #MusicMonday and I have no damn idea why okay, lies, there’s a reason this song is on repeat again after so many years but whatever, that’s none of your business right now but I cannot, cannot stop playing this.  The whole beat, the lyrics, I swear it touches your soul.  It’s so rare … More “You” – Monifah

Comfort.

I feel like you’d soothe my soul. You’d console me and make me feel better and you’d touch me without even touching me. You’d lay with me and stroke me and touch my hair, and you’d play with my curls. You’d look into my eyes and you’d stay there, quiet, feeling my need for peace. … More Comfort.

Summer, 2015.

   Ever heard your stomach growl underwater?  It’s just that much more intense.  It’s like, you can actually feel your intestines move inside.  And it’s kinda cool. I reached for the blue noodle and wrapped it behind my head and shoulders and let my fingertips just graze the water.  I laid my head back and … More Summer, 2015.

#ThrowbackThursday – “All Around The World” – Lisa Stansfield

Okay so this week’s story is better than last week’s. I was a teenager when this song came out and riding dirty with my best guy friend, of whom I loved the entire world out of, in my mom’s Oldsmobile station wagon. You know those really big station wagons? The one where you could hide … More #ThrowbackThursday – “All Around The World” – Lisa Stansfield

So last week on my way in to work, tired of listening to my satellite radio and “We Dem Boys” by Wiz and his crew – what a lie; that song reminds me of my teenage boys and I could listen to it all day long – I reached into my huge CD case and … More #ThrowbackThursday – “You Should Be My Girl” – Sammie feat.

Forehead Kisses.

  “The real lover is the man who can thrill you by kissing your forehead.” – Marilyn Monroe   Because my random ass is random, we’re going to discuss “forehead kisses” for a minute.  Well, I’ll discuss.  You’ll read.  This is, after all, MY blog. So girlfriend of mine, mid-storytelling, says, “And I don’t know … More Forehead Kisses.

Dear Sir…

I’m not even sure how to start this or where this is going to end up but I’m sure that once I let my mind wander with thoughts of you, words will spill uncontrollably onto this pad of paper, the way you spill uncontrollably….well, you know what I’m saying. It’s so cliché, but from that … More Dear Sir…

Big, Round Number.

It’s my birthday tomorrow.  And maybe it’s because I’m turning a “big, round number” but I’m reflecting.  I have a folder in my email titled “Things Worth Saving” and decided to peruse through it.  Wow.  I don’t want to call it a mistake but it’s got me all nostalgic and shit.  Emails I’ve sent and … More Big, Round Number.
