TOO funny NOT to share...

Sent to me in an email by my chica, Simone:

A 30 year old blonde decides to try horseback riding for the
first time. With no lessons, nor prior experience, she mounts the horse
unassisted, and the horse immediately springs into motion. It gallops along at a steady and rhythmic pace, but the blonde begins to slide from the saddle.
In terror, she grabs for the horse's mane, but cannot
seem to get a firm grip.

She tries to throw her arms around the horse's neck, but she
slides down the horse's side anyway. The horse gallops along, seemingly impervious to its slipping rider.

Finally, giving up her frail grip, the blonde attempts
to leap away from the horse and throw herself to safety. Unfortunately, her foot has
become entangled in the stirrup; she is now at the mercy of the horse's pounding
hooves as her head is struck against the ground over and over.

As her head is battered against the ground, she is mere
moments away from unconsciousness when to her great fortune.....

Frank, the Wal-Mart greeter, sees her dilemma and
unplugs the horse.

And you thought all they did was say Hello.

Thanks for making me laugh :)

Today is great because today my mother celebrates her birthday! I thank God everyday for such a phenomenal example of a strong, beautiful woman being in my life. I hope you have a wonderful day Mommy! I love you!!!!!!

Will be copped...

Maxwell's new album BLACKsummers'night will be released this Tuesday, and I'm so excited. I've been a Maxwell fan from day one; seeing him release another album after been out of the scene for a minute is very gratifying. His sound, which I absolutely love, envokes a sense of peace & happiness for me. Especially when I can share my enjoyment of his music with someone I care for. After seeing his performance on the BET Awards, it made me want this upcoming album even more, secretly hoping for a tour date to pass through the 757 area. Don't sleep on this album!

It's been a long time, I shouldn't have left you...

I really need to start writing more enteries on the regular. Being caught up with work, life, and dare I say affections of the heart *gasp* keeps a woman like me away from qwerty keys of life. In my absence, I've learned some lessons & had key take-aways:

*I REALLY am annoyed by petty bullshittery...yes, I know it's not a true word but damnit, it works.

*It really is okay to let someone see you in the vulnerable state of shedding tears. It's a part of life, and to get to share it with someone that understands is rewarding.

*"hot shit" has been integrated into my vocabulary and I'm not giving it up.

*Catching someone off guard in a genuine gesture of kindness is the best.

*Damn, I really need to check my Facebook & MySpace accounts more often.

I promise, I'll bring it back to regular scheduled programming...
