Ooooh this takes me back...

I'm being such a GIRL right now. Huff! Music is so much a part of my life I can hear a cd and instantly remember what I was doing when I first heard a song or think back to a time in my life when I wore that cd out. I just took Common's (yummy) Finding Forever for a spin. I instantly thought of this nice young man that I spent a few hours talking to while this cd was on. Sigh, he sure was sweet. haha. Do yall have anything like that? I know when I hear Matchbox 20's Yourself or Someone Like You I think about Tess of the D'urbervilles. I read that book to that cd. Crap! Forgive me for my randomness today. My mind is all over the place.
I've been given advice from different sources now about how I should go about my current situation. Some people (very nice people) say to be myself and I can't go wrong. These very nice people must not know me that well. As an alternative I've been told to take on another persona, one that is more outgoing or self-assured. I've done that before, but I can't get back in the "place" that allowed me to become this other person that I affectionately named Melinda. That's right I named her. To me ME-Linda sounds self assured...like I'm Pretty...that's what it translates to in Spanish at least. Shrug. How it happened was I went to this party and didn't know anyone there except the person I rode to the party with. I determined that I wouldn't be a wallflower. So I danced, met people, got numbers (all the wrong numbers) and generally had an all around BALL. I made some acquaintances and some friends that night. But what led me to do that in the first place...a awkwardly painful breakup. I had to prove to myself that I was still alive and a social butterfly...fun! I'm not in that "place" anymore and have no desire to go back there ever...but I would like to recall Melinda from time to time. What to do?
I guess go with plan A: being myself. Doesn't work everytime but hey.

*Sigh* Crushed out

I was listening to this song by Goapele last night. I think this describes my mood...yet another indication that I'm a 12 year old.

Crushed out by Goapele

Chorus: You know I'm crushed out on you and you alone

If I thought you had my number I'd stay home by the phone

Day and night I sit and wait for you to call me

But only time will show how far this can go

Verse 1:His voice it comforts me

Sweet and raspy tone of love

It trails me into dreams

I wanna wake up to it(up to it)

Full blast full blast)

His name alone

Gives me a rush

What a feeling

I can feel it in my bones

A spirit

I'm craving in my soul

You could feel it all

But you don't even know

Chorus:That I'm crushed out on you and you alone

If I thought you had my number I'd stay home by the phone

Day and night I sit and wait for you to call me

But only time will show how far this can go

Verse 2:I'm longing for the space and time to chill with you

Thinking of the ways that I could keep my cool

But this brown eyed girl

And brown eyed boy

Time stood still

And passed us by

Cause baby I

I've been waiting for a little time

Oh and you were so beautiful and that's ???

You're my kind of guy

If I had a type of guy, I'd say it's you

So don't let them bring you down

Cause right about now I like having you around

And if it's real that's where hearts resides

Chorus:And I'm crushed out on you and you alone

If I thought you had my number I'd stay home by the phone

Day and night I sit and wait for you to call me

But only time will show how far this can go

Bridge:If you think of me

Half as much as I do you

Confide in me

Lets play for keeps

And I can tell you all the things

I longed to say

The future wants

We'll find a way

And we can let it go

Chorus:That I'm crushed out on you and you alone

If I thought you had my number I'd stay home by the phone

Day and night I sit and wait for you to call me

But only time will show how far this can go

That I'm crushed out on you and you alone

If I thought you had my number I'd stay home by the phone

Day and night I sit and wait for you to call me

But only time will show how far this can go

Yes, Its gotten that bad...I've started to blog song lyrics. Someone shoot me now. At least you gotta admit its a nice song, right? No? Okay.

Happy Moan-day Everyone

Argh...today is a day of recouperation. At work, not feeling like being at work. But this weekends highlights include the Magic City Art Festival in Lynn Park. It was fantastic art all at prices I couldn't afford, go figure. But even better than that I've written my first poem for this year. I don't think I'll ever show it to anyone though. It was very personal, you know, but this just means that my comic verse is on its way. That's right people, you are going to be tortured with my twisted verse soon. So get ready. I will include other things for those of you who hate poetry and all that it stands for...or just hate my poetry. Umm, I fell deeper in crush this weekend too. That's another story that I wish I could share. Oh! but I do have a good story to share from last week, Friday to be exact.

My friend heard someone on the side of her house say in an a theatrical whisper, "Come on, come on." But she didn't think anything of it. As she was getting ready for work, someone knocked on the door. She opened it and found the neighborhood crackhead there before her. He told her immediately that he was going to need two bowls and some lunch. She noticed that the front lawn is cut. He turned and left, I guess so she could go get the materials together and prepare it for him. The audacity! Anyway, when he comes back she has three bowls for him and six dollars. She asks him whos paying him for the yard. He replies, "Me and your brother been talking, don't you worry about that. By the way, while I was cleaning out your shed I saw some snakes. I'm looking for your lime. It's gonna take two applications. Now worry cuz its gonna get all over the cars (the cars are in the front of the house, he's talking about putting the lime down in the backyard). Don't worry about the lime on the cars, because I wash and wax cars."

Man, my friend better watch out because he's probably gonna be living in the shed in a few days. She said he has tried to sell them baby clothes before. I gotta give it to him though, he's on the grind. He doesn't take his hustle lightly. Speaking of hustle, lemme get back to work.

Got dem draws

Yes, that's right people. I'm talking about underwear. And its betrayal on the women's race. Not only is some of it uncomfortable, but some of these contraptions are borderline torture to wear. Girdles, bras, bikinis, thongs, boy shorts, slips, body shapers, bustiers....sigh. We've been holding ourselves together for a long time with the help of some scraps of twisted metal and cotton-lycra combinations. I have been stabbed on numerous occasions by a stealthy underwire bra. That is the point where you take the wire out, stomp on it and then inspect the injured skin or puncture wound. But where does that leave you until you get home, that's right say it with me, l o p s i d e d. At times like those I wish I were a member of the itty bitty titty commitity. To be honest I was a proud member until 1999. This darn late blooming isn't what its cracked up to be....

Speaking of cracks, um, at what point is a thong wedgy sexy? Is the thong supposed to sit on top of the crack? If so, I will never be able to wear this underwear style properly since I have been diagnosed with one of the severest modern cases of hungry booty syndrome known to man. This phenomenon affects over 30% of people especially those with a booty cheek ratio of more that 3 to 1. But I digress.

Its getting hot. I'm boycotting underwear...ok second thought no I'm not. I'm just doing the comfort thing okay? Okay. Granny panties for life man...except on special sexy occasions. I wish men had to endure this....check out this Monty Python clip ( I love those guys).

Control

Hi people, I'm still recouperating from this weekend of spiritual rejuvenation. I got a lot of compliments on my hair. Mostly from 30ish and 40ish women. They all shared things in common ... they all had perms, they all had husbands ord fiancees that didn't want them to go natural. My reaction was "Thank you" and "What!" Are men really stopping their wives and girlfriends from embracing their true selves? Their inner natural goddess/queens? Really? So I decided to meld this with a blogging suggestion. The topic suggested is Do men really have that much control over our lives? Hmmm. I looked at myself through their eyes then...they saw a young carefree woman who is able to grow her hair in the style of her choice without consulting any man. They saw me and thought, "wow, she's single and free to do lots of things she wants". I know this because one lady actually said that. It made me look at myself in a new light for a few minutes...I felt freedom. But then I saw her walk away holding her fiancee's hand. Womp, womp, womp. The grass is always greener...ha.

Let's be honest ladies, yes, we dress for ourselves but we dress to get/keep attention from males also. So when you know what your man likes you try to please him as long as you can stand it. This applies to clothing, makeup, shoes, perfume and HAIR. But come on women! You know you want to experiment and try new things too. Keep it fresh. Your guy may not know that he likes it until you try it. Do you think you will lose this man if you tweaked your physical appearance to something you would enjoy more? If so, maybe you don't need him. If you are married, pshaw, he ain't going nowhere because you cut your perm out! If anything he'll be glad that you shaved some minutes off your bathroom/prep time.

But back to the REAL issue, do men really control that much of our lives? My coworker originally suggested that I talk about something else besides men, because she just couldn't believe that men control us that much that we have to talk about them ALL the time. Of course!! That's what single women do (she knows this, she's probably going to herself, "I know".) Well, I hate to say this, but the people that don't talk about men all the time are men (and they still talk about each other a good bit). BUMMER. How do you feel about this? Speak to me.

P.S. Today I used a suggested topic. I really enjoy writing about what yall want to hear, and the thing is that, if you comment you will be giving me a response but you will also give the person who suggested this question or topic your highly valued opinion, advice etc. So speak out, don't bottle it up.

Yall thought I wasn't gonna post today? Pshaw!

Hey yall for real though that party last night was great! It was just what I needed and just what I wanted and just what I didn't need all rolled into one.  Who parties on Thursday night? Apparently my friends and me. I got home at about 2 am and went to sleep (officially) at 3 am. What was I thinking of? I got up no problems then I hit a wall at 3 pm! I had to stand up to work yall, it was that bad. I was seeing double. I work with money and numbers and teensy field boxes. That ain't no way to be discovered, that ain't no way to do your job.  Well at least I had a GOOD time, thanks! And please don't release those videos.  Private use only.  They are super embarasaing, okay? But can you at least send me a copy? Now I'm trying to type before the coma sets in.  My circuit assembly is tomorrow.  Bye yall I got to go prepare. Dr. Pepper here I come, kidneys watch out.

P.S.  Next week is the start of all those suggestions you guys sent.  Yall are wonderful, you know. =)

How's the 'fro?

Transcripts from an interview with Rachel's hair, taken from Sunday April 6, 2008 (6:31 p.m.)

Interviewer: Welcome, welcome!! Chill out, relax... well don't relax
Afro: (Chuckles) Hi
Interviewer: (Nervously) I'll just get right down to it, okay?
Afro: Shoot
Interviewer: How old are you?
Afro: (Counts on her fingers) Hmm... about 7 months old.
Interviewer: Wow! (scribbles something on notepad) How's it been growing up and stuff
Afro: It's been alright, could have been better. I get washed way too often.
Interviewer: How do you feel about that?
Afro: Dry (gets quiet and stares out of the window)
Interviewer: OOOOOkay, um...I hear you are curly, do you think that you are?
Afro: Hey you know, you can't believe everything people tell you. Those are just rumors, I'm a bit more complicated than that.
Interviewer: I heard that you're soft too. (shuffles notes) On Sunday January 20th, direct quote from Sister Roach after touching you, "Rachel, its so soft." Is that true?
Afro: Well that's good, I try to make myself approachable. Softness is a part of that. So is sheen, we've been working on moisture.
Interviewer: Do you ever go out still wet?
Afro: All the time, it was a problem in winter though. Those were harsh times. The extremes in temperatures. I'm glad the weather has eased up some, I'm a bit less stressed.
Interviewer: I'm glad, now on to your past, how long were you incarcerated in your relaxed form?
Afro: Oh no, not this again. All you interviewers are the same, always throwing the past in my face. Okay, okay, yes! I used to be a pixie cut, a bob, a french roll, but most of the time a pony tail. I quite enjoyed my ponytail days if you must know....I'm not ashamed of that time. I've just moved on you know.
Interviewer: (patting Afro) Yes, I know. Thank you for being so gracious.
Afro: Well thanks for having me atop your head. (winks and then glistens)

Today's meanderings are:

Thank you so much everyone who has wrote me about blog topics (I begged). I'm interested in all the topics and you will see them here.

I must say that I've been under a lot of pressure lately and it shows not only on this blog but on my face. I can feel my eye sockets hollow as I type. Not that I've lost an inch or a pound. Anyways, last night after I walked I was starving but tired too. So I opened up the freezer and found an ice burned Banquet Fried Chicken dinner. (Who does this?) I opened the box and threw the big chunks of ice in the sink, heated the meal according to the directions with a few more minutes for good measure. I prayed before my meal and during it. "Jehovah, please don't let this make me sick." It wasn't great, but it wasn't good either. It didn't taste funny or anything but I kept thinking I can't keep eating like this (like I do this all the time or something). I don't know how to eat healthily, I don't even think I can afford to eat healthily. Sigh, but I'll try.

So I went to sleep at about 12:45 I watched a snippet of this French movie translated "Breathless". So I dozed off...blurr blurr blurr blurr(dream sequence starts) I wake up to find people seated around my bed looking serious and waiting anxiously on the edge of their seats. I wake up and try to talk and a doctor (because I'm in my bed but in a hospital room) tells me to take it easy. They give me a phone and I call my best friend who tells me I've been unconscious for about 2 weeks. I look at the doctor and he verifies that I've been asleep for 2 weeks, I immediately have flashbacks of seeing things through a sleep veil, of almost coming to. The doctor then tells me what I've had (get this)..... a stomach virus. Cut! (dream sequence ending) I woke up this morning thinking "BOOOOOOOO!" stupid dream. That's what eating an old Banquet Fried Chicken meal will get you, go figure. Have yall had any weird food dreams lately?

Meanwhile on the social front, I'm helping Shannon with the Sister Circle Soiree. I want to spell circle with an "S" so badly. Maybe Sister Sphere Soiree? Anyway, its a forum for young women to enlighten, empower and educate themselves while eating and having fun. It will be spectacular Shan-ton! Today I'm sharing with yall a picture of my idea of the motif of the soiree. Shannon, I'll show you my notes later. Enjoy!

Yay!

Hello all, I’m very excited today. Its only 2 weeks away you guys. “What?” you may ask. Well only the fun-est event to get its start on April 29, 2008. Yes, that’s right folks, TACKY TUESDAY. Every last Tuesday of the month a group of us are going to dress in the tackiest thing we can come up with at that time and meet up and eat and drink and of course take pictures. Ladies, this is a wonderful opportunity to wear those pants/shoes/dresses you’ve been dying to wear, but didn’t have anything to go with them. That’s right ladies and gents we are going to go out in public. No sticks in the mud allowed. Now I will make this exception if you don’t want to dress up but you still want to hang out its fine. Just get ready for funny looks because you are the only one who didn’t dress up. In my opinion our group will be appreciated. People don’t do fun stuff anymore and this is just that, good clean wholesome fun. Like I said we won’t miss any photo opportunities, I will ask permission to use your photo if it is super hilarious. Also the meeting place will not be revealed (to the public) on my blog until after the Tacky event has transpired. Yall, this should be fun.

Let's get physical!

Okay, who am I trying to kid? I walk with a group of friends every other day. A brisk 3 mile walk which I've been telling myself is better than nothing. But really, I'm not fooling myself or anyone else for that matter. I mean real talk yall, I love you and everything but I'm going to have to do some real exercise and let the 3 mile stroll be a compliment to that. I want real results. So I guess I'll join a gym... sigh. Anyway, I'm recouperating from some nefarious activities this weekend I'd rather not talk about. All I'm gonna say is I'll never do it again. Let's not talk about it.

Google Me

I know I know, I haven't been here in a long time. But there is a crackdown at work. Work is becoming un-fun now that I can't play like I want to online but oh well. It still hasn't stopped me, much. I googled my email/screenname because at work its my job to find people's information, so I decided to look myself up...this is what I found: Reviews on yahoo.

Enjoy

I really like this place...: I must say when you go here, you feel at home and everything on the menu is delicious even if not familiar to our Southern palates.

I heart Publix so much...: It may be b/c they use a "x" instead of "cs". I don't really know, but it the equivalent of target except its a grocery store. And if you have ever been inside of the Ensley/Wylam Piggly Wiggly you can understand the fresh and new quality of this store.I also once went to the Southern Food Market across from Bartow Arena. It was a glorified Quickie Mart. So thank you Publix for being there with your neat and overpriced items!

A healthy alternative to AmSouth/Regions: They like me, they really like me, not just my money. I've been pretty well behaved too. Maybe because it feels like I belong to a secret society now. $$$

A whole new world...: It's preppy, it's fresh, it's new, it's a good ride from my house. It's like adventure shopping for me. Located in the Pinnacle in Trussville, this Target is wonderful. I may even give up the one on 280 if gas prices go down. Keep it up Pinnacle Target!

What happened Club Walmart?: You use to be so sparkly and fresh. You were always being renovated, you had the best food section and your electronics department was a breath of fresh air. But now you've changed. You no longer have handsome guys roaming up and down your aisles. The soccer moms don't push their way past me anymore. You gotta do better. I heard rumors of a mouse problem (said in a whispered voice). Come on! You even dropped the ball on my friends cake order. You just don't mess with a person's cake! Somebody talk to Wally World Lakeshore b/c he just won't listen to me...


Formaggio's Italian Bistro My rating: Good

Review Date: 04/19/2007
A college atmosphere...: There is a younger crowd that gathers at Formag's. The prices are low the food is uncomplicated and Italian at the same time. You can't beat that. I had a friend to almost fall into the bench seating one time. Other than that it is a blast. A great late night, after party spot. Don't come here for ugly dates b/c even though the light is low, you're almost guaranteed to run into someone you know.


Chop Suey Inn My rating: Great
Homewood, AL

Review Date: 04/19/2007
I love it when they scream at me...: The cashier always speaks louder than needed. On the phone and in person. They have the best egg rolls I've ever tasted, filled with steamed cabbage, ground pork and suprise!!, small steamed shrimp. It's wonderful. The owners ( and employees, I guess) go on vacation during one month late in the summer. July or August. They close for this brief period during the year. I believe that they have to rest up from cooking such wonderful food and recouperate for another year. You see people driving slowly past the restaurant trying to see if it has re-opened yet. But absence does make the heart grow fonder. So in September they are back in full effect and the lines are a bit longer when they first reopen so be patient.

It was okay...: It was a typical steam table cafeteria experience. Except when the cashier stabbed me in the back with the price tag. The food was good. I savored it because I was eating 2 days worth of my lunch budget on one occasion. To make a long story short: Don't eat there alone or if you're on a budget.


Carmike Wynnsong 12 - Birmingham My rating: Not so good
Birmingham, AL
Movie Theaters
Review Date: 04/19/2007
Wait a second!...: I haven't been to this theater in about 3 years. On this visit I was to attend a 10pm showing of Premonition. I was warned before I got there to be careful because the police were in hot pursuit of someone in the area. (This theater is not in a bad neighborhood). So when I arrived to witness the end of the car chase in the theater's parking lot, I was thinking to myself, "this movie better be good, because it's gonna have to top the show I just saw outside." I met my friends and we went in to watch the movie. One of my friends left the theater to use the restroom and came back to sit down and the guy in front of us wanted to get involved in an altercation. I guess he didn't like feeling the air gush from the seat on the back of his neck or something...Overall it was a weird night. I guess the Wynnsong 12 can't be held responsible for all the events of that night but I will be going to varioius RAVE movie theaters from now on.

A whole sandwich is a 1/2 in Jason's Deli...: I ordered off the kiddie menu b/c $ was running low and I still wanted to try them out. It was awesome!. They brought me a full size sandwich (on the menu it says half). Then there was this sweet yogurt dip to compliment the fresh fruit cup I ordered. I made a mistake and got some of the yogurt on my sandwich. Let me tell you, it was delicious. Now I just spread the yogurt on the sandwich as soon as I get it. Way to go Jason (whoever you are)!


Full Moon Barbecue Store My rating: Good

Review Date: 04/19/2007
Just get the potato, you'll thank me later...: I don't go there for the ribs. One can get ribs at home. I go there for the potato that is bigger than my head. It's baked and healthy at first until they put cheddar, sour cream, chives and bbq'd pork or chicken on top. I add bbq sauce too. It's sinfully delicious and must be shared with 2-3 other people (or you will hurt yourself or end up throwing most of it away).


That's right people, no videos or pictures this time.

Hey girl

Hey girl:
I do have a suggestion. Maybe you could pose the question on your blog whether or not women are a true reflection of the men that hit on them. I know we’ve talked about it before, but I’m curious about what others have to say.

~Krystal

Thanks Krystal!
This has been a question in my mind too. My mom gave me some advice once. She said “When you go out looking for a man, remember to look in the mirror first.” Now I don’t know what she was trying to say. I probably need therapy to work that out but, it made so much sense when I applied to other people. But what does it mean? Not to shoot for the stars because you’re not the most beautiful woman in the world? No, I refuse to settle. I don’t even like the word settle. But then I was thinking "how many people live by that theory anyway"? On many an occasion old men (over 40) have approached me or made overtures toward me. I believe they thought that they had a chance too. Instead of these compliments(?) boosting my confidence, they have the opposite effect. I think to myself “what vibe/message did you send out to make him believe he had a chance”? Then I shiver and walk away, fast. Same with scrubby dudes and Lame-o’s. I really feel that my self perception is warped by these encounters.

Okay if a woman is TOGETHER, shouldn’t most men find her attractive? Shouldn’t she be confident enough to accept a compliment from any source and move on?

I think the reason why this phenomenon disturbs me is because when women get interested in a man its because he looked good of course but mainly it’s a reflection of how we think of ourselves. Although may have been seconds from the time we first saw a guy we have already had very important subconscious flashes and conclusions. (Or at least in my case)
1.) Seen myself on a date with him.
2.) Matched our senses of style.
3.) Physically sized him up.
4.) I have a preconceived notion of what his voice is going to be like.
5.) Although I’m kinda against kids, I have a picture of what his kids would look like.

And last but not least I’m ashamed to admit it but...

6.) I know what comments my friends would make about him.

You know I left out some but these are just a few things that run across my mind.

I just don’t think guys go through any substantial lists like that before they approach. Well at least old guys, scrubby guys, and Lame-o’s. My theory is they feel like they will never know if they don’t ask, or what have they got to lose. To be continued...

This touches me deeply, what are your thoughts?

Dear Mr. Goodnight

Here is a poem that I wrote with very strong feelings. Its theme is Taco Meat. I'm not gonna say anything else, I'll let the poem say it all.

Dear Mr. Goodnight
Crispy tight, remove them from my sight
They are unsightly bad,
rough and just a tad—gross
Some women may appreciate it, Up against smooth skin
Why don’t you just rid yourself of it. Showing it bit by bit
Ohhhh is not a sound of pleasure
Seriously dude, it makes me itch.
Although you explain and make claims
That you think your blood is rich
with testosterone.
Nice, but I don’t need proof that you’re grown.
Because on everything I own, that has to be gone,
Before I touch your chest again
Sincerely,

P.S. I hope you can understand

Not Today's Post (Just a Pro/Con Rant)

Yall! City Stages done sat up there and got The Roots on their line up. How could they? That means that City Stages and Bonnaroo are on the same weekend. What the crap?! Well Bonnaroo has the better line up hands down. Yet they are in Tennessee and its $250.00 for the whole 4 days (still not a bad deal considering all the great artists that will be there). But $250 at one time…Eww…that sets my teeth on edge. What to do, what to do hmm. I guess wait and see how May treats me. $250! Whew, but it means going to Tennessee too. Yay!, right?
I’d still want to go to Tennessee anyway later to visit. Plus that’s 2 days I’d have to take off of work. Not looking very good on the Bonnaroo side.

Bonnaroo VS City Stages

What should I do yall? Can you add (or explain) anything on either of the lists that will be the deciding factor?

I Feel the Need to Leave

I’m feeling froggy yall. I need to travel. Drive, run, jog, skip out of town. It’s getting old doing the same ol’ same ol’. This rut isn’t even comfortable. I’d like to see some new people, spend entirely too much money, be a guest, and sleep on a strange bed. I could do all that in town but where’s the fun in that? C’mon who’s with me? Where we going yall? Seville? Paris? Glasgow? No? Maybe later…how about Tuscaloosa (yeah, I said it), Huntsville? Memphis? Savannah? Chattanooga?
Any of these options is cool with me. I just need a weekend to lock down on it. So what will it be people? I’m so sick of Birmingham right now I could…I could…LEAVE! Tell me am I the only one getting cabin fever?

Bad Vibes

I’m officially scaring myself now. I got this eerie feeling lately at work. I hate doing the psychic thing-- it's really demonic. Some people here at work agree with me. I don’t know what’s about to happen, but it doesn’t feel good. I feel pretty secure in my job. You know I get my work done. I don’t go above and beyond (c’mon I’m blogging right now, Pshaw). But the bosses have been moving around quite freely in my department, that’s something they don’t normally do. They do that right before heads start to roll. Reading body language has given me some disquieting thoughts. I’m going to pray for the best to work out. Meanwhile I’m gonna look as busy as possible, ya know. So call me now, nawl don't do that. Just pray for me now. Bye yall =)
