Parting thoughts about Atlanta.

I’ll be leaving Atlanta soon. Things didn’t go how I expected them to. I’m glad I came. I’ll be even more happy to leave. Staying in Atlanta would be, for me, the beginning of a type of suffering that I don’t wish to place myself in. Atlanta is one of the most racially…

One of the premiere minds in the black community was recently on an episode of “Real Time” with Bill Maher. Amongst other things, they discussed the on going travesty that is the “Jena 6”.

Doormen in SOHO

I didn’t know there were doormen in SOHO. Well, not until I got to my friends apartment building where I’ve been staying for the better part of the last week. I love being in SOHO. The neighborhood is great. You can walk everywhere. The shopping around here is spectacular. If only I could afford to…

The final evil.

The jar has been opened. 
The final evil has escaped. 
My curiosity has gotten the best of me.

starbucks + wild oats = nirvana?

All this time, I thought it you just had to find the right Starbucks. If you went to enough of them, you would find the one that has the right mood for you. Well, so far, I have found 2. One in Miami, and one in Atlanta. What do they have in common? Well, a couple things…

I’m more free. My mind is clear. I have more work on my plate than I have had in months, and for once I have no doubts…

When planning on coming back to Miami, I told a few people that I was coming back. Almost all of them offered me a couch or stretch of floor to crash on. One thing that I can say for sure is that I have some great friends here.

“poo-poo in the potty”

I never thought I would ever be so happy to see shit in my life. 
But today was the day to be happy about shit. 
He went “poo-poo in the potty” today. 
I was alerted by “Knickers”. 
So excited I was to see the shit, that I yelled and clapped out of shear pride.
