Yuh

Well....

Ya girl...or the girl you love to hate.. how ever you see it..

Has a job now...

It's far as hell from home..

But it's doing what I want to do...

And it's at another Montessori school.. It's more money..so I won't feel like a damn slave..

Baby girl can go also!!

They are going to work around my school schedule too!!

I also got some great new's yesterday..

I passed this writing exam that I need to graduate! Wheew*...boy you should have saw me sweating..sitting next to my girl Jazz while we were taking that test..I need to call her and see how she did. I got the weirdest topics to write on..4 of them..

I finally picked something that went a lil bit like this..Pick a tv/movie character and tell why their character is appealing or unappealing...

I sat there baffled... Panicking really..

After about a half an hour..I finally picked House..I picked the opposite of unappealing because everyone knows he's an ass.. figured I would flip the switch..

Intro- Of course everyone sees House character as a cantankerous, lonely doctor who finds some way in a hour to solve a medical mystery every week..but he is the shit... **Nah, I didn't say that..but you get the idea***

Idea one- He's thorough

Idea two- He never gives up

Idea three- He has a disability, and it doesn't stop him

Conclusion- He is the shit

I actually thought I wouldn't pass...Even though I tend to pass everything except math.. But I'm excited that I did..one step closer to being where I want to...slowly but surly..slowly but surely..

So now I will bless you with this...

I love when people
Say that I'm evil
Because that just
Proves I'm not
It proves that
I'm a working angel
In progress..

Who has fallen before
Because my wings
Were stripped of air
Yet, I soared again
Because I learned
How to deal
With the steady winds
and constant storms
That I never have
An umbrella for
Because I can't flyy
And hold onto it
I might fall

I am a leo
We are anything but
Evil...
We take so much
Until we are forced
Basically we ain't
Got no choice
But...to eat you..
Once we are done
We clean ourselves up
Cuz you done made
Us get dirty
And lawd knows
We are just
Tooo damn pretty
To be rolling
in the dirt
w/ people who
Can't admit..
That they have issues..

***********************************************************************************************

And I can go on and on
You can't remix me
I'm the one and only
And I promise..
That the only thing
That I'm vain about
Is my poetry...
Cuz
.....It's so fucking pretty

It's raw
Just like having fun
When you know
Everythings safe
And you're in love
Come to me
And let me pin
Some of my poems
On your walls
Because I'm the realest
You'll get...
And you don't have
To travel far
I'm not hard to find
For now..it's
.....poetrynoir

The prettiest shit
What is it..
North or South
Of the Mason-Dixie line
I don't know anything
Bout direction
As you can see
By the way my life
Keeps flinging me
This-a-witch way
And I thought...
I was...
TIRED
I gotta say it
Bitch please

Ups and downs
That's what makes life
Somewhat interesting
Twisted fun
I swear I got stories to tell
If I could get them out
In a linear patter
My ish my just sell
Pinned up secrets
Just ready to be
Revealed..
And I think
I'm finally ready
That I can tell...

***********************************************************************************************

Well the violence
Has unmasked it's self
Back home
I talked to my Daddy
Said a 19 year old boy
Got shot in the chest
And died
On a street called Monroe

Black on Black violence
I don't like cliche's
So I know it won't ever end
But that doesn't mean
I can't hope..
For peace..

And the audacity
For me to have hope
Because being black
Means according to CNN
We are automatically targeted
We are looked down upon
As a black stain
That won't go away
And those who are weak
Chose not to try
To integrate
So they remain stagnant
These are the..
Robbers, murder, rapist
The one's hollerin at the liquor stores
What my grandma called Niggers

It's a mind set
And whom ever
killed lil buddy
Needs to repent
Because I believe
In the power of
Self forgiveness

But as I write this
I am sad for
He who lost his life
On Monroe
He wasn't the first
I wish it wasn't true
But I'm sure he won't be
The last..
To die leaving behind
Blood stained concrete and grass
Family and Friends
Who'll miss them
And who'll say their last goodbyes
As they lower them into the ground
As they cry..

Congrats on the new place of employment and the added salary. I know you're happy as you can be. And you already know you get mad props on passing.

Basically we ain't
Got no choice
But...to eat you..
Once we are done
We clean ourselves up
...potent.

I swear I got stories to tell
If I could get them out
In a linear patter
My ish my just sell


...I do believe. You have to take the neccesary steps.


Black on Black Violence was another good piece, although I can't help but wonder how come we never hear the term White on White Violence???

congratulations on that job AND the test!! It's always the ones you don't think you'll pass that you do (that was me with economics!)

and of course the bonus- that your baby can attend the school! she's gonna have so much fun; my oldest went to a Montessori for pre-K and she really liked it.

enjoy every minute of it :)
