word of the day...

Resistance: the act or power of resisting, opposing, or withstanding.

Resistance is the reason I haven't followed my dreams. Every day is a new opportunity to battle resistance. Resistance is the enemy.

long lines...

I can't believe its been so long since I have updated. I've been extremely busy at school, coaching basketball (4-0; getting my Phil Jackson on!) and just trying to figure out how to organize my life. Haven't been really compelled to blog about anything. Just some random thoughts...

Xmas shopping lines suck.

I love this song.

I love this cd.

I've been extremely stressed out lately. Teaching will do that to you.

Disappointed in the Common cd.

Kanye went left, but it's not as bad as some people are making it out to be.

Xmas doesn't excite me anymore.

A student gave me Tuesdays With Morrie; incredible book everyone should read. Life is short.

Been doing a lot of reading lately. On Bullshit, The War of Art and about to start Finding Fish.

I may become a homeowner in the next few months. Not sure if I'm ready for such a big commitment though. The adult world is scary sometimes.

DC is getting cold.

I'm very impulsive.

My president is black.

official.

you proved me wrong. thank you.

leave it all behind...

since the day it came out the foreign exchange cd has not left rotation. it inspired the following piece..

you lie nude. i watch as the light that peeked through the blinds gently caressed your skin, accentuating the delicate curves I explored just a few hours before the sun slithered through the crevices and into our morning after. one glance at our naked bodies and i'm reminded of the careless whispers that led us to this point, now easily exposed like secrets written in the playground sand. the sheets, white, pure, once symbolic of our friendship but now we lay the contrary. our skin the color of crushed mocha beans grounded by a mallet of regret. in my state of ambivalence i watch as the white turns to gray. it's so hard to read between the lines. but in a desperate attempt to interpret how we got here, my eyes travel slowly from the small of your back, up to the base of your neck and there i seek resolution between the margins of your mind. none found. i assume you are as confused as i. this is wrong. you shouldn't be here. i -- we shouldn't here, but we are.

this is a game we play to lose...
more coming soon.

fact:

1. women are liars.

2. the foreign exchange "leave it all behind" has inspired me. more on that coming soon...

3. i am completely alone in this world.

4. jim jones loves jay-z.

5. this will be a two-post day.

confessions...

I watch HGTV religiously.

And I can't wait to see the 3rd season of Keyshia Cole's show.

Just had to get that off my chest. lol

help wanted...

I should probably quit frontin'. I don't want a girl but I need a girl. When I was with the ex, I ate proper meals, I saved lots of money, my bills were paid months in advance and life just seemed simpler. Now, it feels like the single life is taking its toll on me. I don't eat properly, I spend way too much money on the weekends, and I forget everything. I enjoy the freedom of the single life but I need the structure of a relationship. I basically need a personal assistant, and I guess that probably isn't a good selling point. lol
