Season Of Sense

So, I did this whole I'm back to blogging post over the weekend and it got deleted. Just as well.

What's been holding me back from blogging sooner is feeling I'm not all the way real of I come talking about all the good stuff like seeing the pride in John Legend as he bounced around during his brother Vaughn Anthony's showcase last week or laughing with my girls or the BF, or seeing my lil cousin graduate from Hampton last weekend, without adding getting bad news about one of my friend last week, or the reality of my grandmother slowing downnnnn.

But it's all life and if anything those mortal moments remind you to live life in the moment.

And as rough as it is to get out the bed some mornings, Im thankful for the eye crust and a desk to go sit at (one morning with my shirt on inside out.) And even though my blogging has been lax, my twitter game has come up (HarlemCharm . .the homies back home have been getting on me for that, yep Im still a Georgia Peach). I had a blast doing a Twitter With the Stars story for ESSENCE.com and looking at the celeb's pages for work (and, yeah it was fun for me).


Congrats to all the grads out there! Posting this old pic just to make me feel summer-y and will hopefully get me a trip booked . . . I twittered away when I was in PR last year:).

A little this, a little that

Sorry for the sporadic posting. Cant blame the alcohol.

Finally feeling a little more in a groove. My friend's wedding was the weekend before last and flying back in Monday and going straight to work, my week was on turbo for the rest of the days.

My roomie met the boyfriend and gave him two thumbs up (read they traded stories on my narcolepsy . .. its not my fault I get so comfortable I go to sleep on the phone:)

Thursday I went to a fashion event in Harlem hosted by a publicist buddy and chatted with Selita Ebanks and Jessica White about shoes. A few of the Harlem Heights girls were there along with Melyssa Ford. Loved her hair!

Next day we had to say farewell to fab freelancers at work and Rashida (the shoe store owner in the middle) and Nicole swung by the office for a quick hello. Good times

Old Dogs and New Tricks

Even after all the rumors, I still was surprised and so sad to hear Kelis and Nas were divorcing - as she carries their first child at seven months pregnant. I shutter to think what drove her to feel she couldnt wait another second to get out of the marriage.

I was checking out the gallery on Divorces in Hollywood, and this rap lyric by Nas caught my attention.

“Say hello to the man, goodbye to the gigolo
It was difficult for me to find a chick I want.”

I shook my head. On the surface it sounds cool to make that big of an impact that someone changes for me. But I wouldnt want being faithful to be a life change and probably some truth to the saying you cant teach an old dog new tricks. Not saying someone cant change. Its just its tougher for them to resist something that use to be so natural.

My BF (yeah, me and Sherlock are official, crazy right?) is a girlfriend type of guy. I dont mind the stories that include past girlfriends because it kinda comforting that this monogamy thing isnt new.

Its definitely not easy to find someone who "gets" you and all of your ish. So seeing such quirky people split is definitely sad. Sending all types of good energy Kelis (and Nas)'s way and all women who have been where she is.
