Ramblings from my lock box...

i think i've been in my box too long....here are some ramblings floating thru my head:

Ced the entertainer was the funniest "king" of comedy when he joked about how he "wished a MFrkah would..."
Sometimes, i wish i could just:
...be a baby mama & not worry about the consequences.... (I'd have kids & mother's day would be a special occasion just for me, too!...like the rest of "his"[my exes' - yes plural exes;-)] baby mamas - they're plural, too!)
...marry the next jokah who says I'm beautiful....(I'd be married .... & probably divorced like the rest of "them"...)
...be a happy slave/employee for the ego-maniacs who paid me handsomely...(I'd be paid -or- at least i think so...)
....those are all the things that supposedly "anyone" could want...*smirk*

*** "sadly"....I'm not wired that way. Try as I might, I can't SETTLE for less ... than The GREATNESS that the CREATOR has laid out for me. Lawd, Give me the strength to hang in here for the amazing life-path that you lead me on. I look around and see others married, with kids and PAYD....now whether they're happy or not is debatable.....

Now, I don't want U to think that I'm having a pity party....but as I had a wonderful brunch with a dear friend today we LAUGHED & LAUGHED about the (above) BS that gets 'applauded' in the "good ol' US of A."

As Brother Langston Hughes said in Life is Fine: "You may hear me holler and you may hear me cry, but i'll be dog sweet baby if you'll see me....."

...and you all wonder why I've crawled into a box...(hear the Geoffrey Holder laugh as I re-enter)...... HA HA HA ha hhhaaaaaaa.....I am ENJOYING this life outside of the internet & hope you are, too. OOhhhh, cuz when I return....oh, it's gonna BE JUICY - er!!!

hugz....see u in December....i think....

Where in the City is CAP?

Several have asked what I'm doing in hiding.

Here it is:

*Seeking employment -- when did it take this long (2 months & counting) to simply find a salaried J.O.B. where I have no desire to battle with supervisors' egos past quitting time? Give me a shout if you know anyone who wants a receptionist, admin. asst. or any other position filled that an educator/developing writer can handle without too much emotional output. How do I tell an employer nicely that I just want to cover my living expenses and go home to my books after giving them 8 hours of me (or did I already do that by posting it on this blog;-)?

*Writing, Writing & WRITING. Several different projects going on at once and this job search is getting in the way. LOL! Check out a new li'l spot & motivator I found: NaNoWriMo. Oh, yea - Reading, too - but that seems to be synonymous with Writing. LOL!

Climbing back into my lock-box, now...whew! Who knew this could be so all consuming? ;-)
