Already Waiting for 2015 to End
I want to say the title is a bit of a typo; sometimes i don't come up with a name for the piece I'm writing until long after I am done writing my blog. Like the phrase goes, never judge a book (or in this case, a blog) by it's cover (title). You never know what kind of a blog I'll write about until i start sending links on facebook, twitter or google plus. My words aren't THAT controversial. What is someone going to do after reading this, hack my Blogger account like those stupid North Koreans that went crazy inside Sony, causing them to shelf the well-publicized Seth Rogen-James Franco comedy The Interview? I don't have anything to hide from those commie assholes and they won't find anything offensive to piss them off. Besides, who wouldn't want to take out Kim Jong-Un? They still believe THEY won the Korean War, consider the U.S.A. as a bunch of idiots and their heavy-duty propaganda has brainwashed everyone there. I saw an HBO piece on some North ...
Here Comes the Holidays
We are now in the last month of 2014. Not far now from Christmas and the beginning of 2015. The days are short and crisp, the nights are long...and the tension over TWO grand juries NOT pressing charges against the police after they were involved in shooting deaths of two unarmed Black men - one of them was clearly seen via smartphone in a choke hold - is still seething in the minds of numerous Americans from all walks of life. They have been showing their anger of police force by marching down our main streets and highways protesting something we blacks know all too well...police mainly doesn't give a shit about us. I have heard the reports out of the horse's ass themselves. Grand juries hardly ever indict the officers sworn to protect them. Even in the case of Eric Garner, who as I mentioned was taken down to the ground via a choke hold AND recorded AND seen by practically everybody, justice should have come for New York's finest on the asthmatic hefty father of 6....
Dear Mom: One Year Later
(November 24 is the anniversary of when my mom went home. Last year, as fate would have it, I got to sing the gospel classic Oh Happy Day on the actual day of her passing. I dedicated the song as a remembrance to her. (you can watch the video of that performance here: https://www.youtube.com/watchv=sF_2GtAsnkc&list=UUyPd3CWLxoYrwYup4uHJxFg .) Dear Mom: It's been one year since I last had the chance to "write" you. While some things have stayed the same, I made one major change in the past year that I have so far not regretted. One year ago, I felt a bit sad when I performed Oh Happy Day on the anniversary of your homecoming. I thankfully had some friends to help me cope with the ordeal. I just turned 44 about a month ago, and I feel pretty good. I may still be self-employed and reside in a motel room with a bi-polar roommate, but my health is still here. This past April, I made an announcement on social media about how I am going to live the rest of my life. Mo...
October Sky
It has been a few weeks since my last blog, so it's time to do an update! This pic you see to the left was from today (10/12/14). I do like how this hair looks. The bitch is I'll have to redo everything when I wash my hair again! Anyway, this month now marks six months since going full-time, yet I still haven't resuming hormones. I started a new medical insurance plan this month, but I needed to re-order a new medical card. I still pray the cost of them aren't steep for my budget. In a few weeks, I have a big day planned for the 26th. Well, what would YOU want me to do on my birthday, sleep my ass off? I still want to go get wasted in a proper way. I always say that, hoping to get some attention. Everyday I see myself in the mirror, I see myself becoming more and more of the woman I visioned becoming a decade ago. My hair helps feminize my facial curves, and my nails are always painted...and still growing! Until I am back on hormones, I do regularly wear a bra, wh...
