Where has the time gone....

Yet again its been forever since I blogged
But I am on the cusp of summer and sooooOOOhhhh looking forward to it

The revolution will be televised

Can't believe it - 2009

1. An official congrats & good luck to Mr. Obama (sorry won't be in DC - to many people, to much po po - just to see a speck) I'll catch in on cable - I guess the revolution will be televised.
2. 2nd - Happy B-day to my sister Jan. 17th (....and me Jan. 5th - gifts accepted)
3. Its time for a personal change:

I need to reconnect with myself & the spirit of this blog.

• I've worked my a$$ of this past year
• Created an award winning ethno-documentary / I won an award for it
• Taught 4 classes each semester
• Took a class each semester, including - the statistics class from he!!

- the professor was sexist, racist and God knows what else. I fully expected him to say "silly girls can't do statistics"

- I did ANOVA's, MANOVA's, MANOCA's, Wilks Lambda's and Discriminant function. (never heard of the above? that's all I need to say).

I think I'm suffering some serious burnout and with the start of the semester, I am completely committed to regaining my equilibrium.

This semester:

-Keeping it real(istic)

-Study for comps

- Work out, get my piliates on

-ROP

-Writing, publishing

-Relaxing

-Volunteering

- OM Film and Arts Festival

-Personal life here I come

Megabus

New York was GREAT!

I hit the Schomburg Center for Research on Black Culture

I got an Access card so I can use the collection all summer

Then I hit Hue-Mans Bookstore in Harlem, it was also great

There was a book signing going on, I caught a little of it

Then I went to see President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, the first Black Woman president of an African country.

It was fabulous, I got pix and video - maybe I'll post some here

It was the best 50 cents I ever spent!!!

Totally digg'n Megabus

(It reminded me of the time I spent $5 bux and went to the 5 Spot in Philly - The Roots, Music and Bilal were there for an impromptu jam session)

Sum sum summer time

I'm giddy with the summertimeness
I can't believe its here *sniff sniff*

I've been enjoying the down time
Starting my summer projects:
Work on the office (home) , Work in the office (dissertation), Work on me

Heading off to NY tomorrow for the day
I'm taking the Megabus from Philly to New York my round trip ticket was 50 cents!!!
(I'll have to blog about how it goes - they may make me hang off the back of a hay wagon)

Summer Movies:
Iron Man *****
Indian Jones ***
Wanted ****
The Incredible Hulk****
Get Smart
Hankcock0***
Dark Knight
Hellboy II

Long time no blog

Its been forever since I blogged - that is a testament to how busy my life has been

Schools have been crazy - classes, classes, classes - teaching and taught

I have heard from the "guy with the girlfriend" but thats for another blog

Took moms to Europe

Became an Auntie (for the 5th time)

Suffering a little bit of burn out

AND

Can't wait for some downtime this summer

*Yaaaaah*

Single in the City

I've been single for a while - in a way i feel "free", it feels like I'm taking a break, a relationship vacation or a hiatus

Lotta relationships - handful of years

Last one - didn't end so well / so now I find myself single for a significant amount of time

It was "easy" to remain single - now I think it's just habit

The easy part were the terrible dates and etc - Bad dates = easy to be single

There was just one after the other

• The guy who had known me for three days and decided that entitled him to sex

• The X who is stuck, he can't seem to move on after graduation (and he wasn't that great the first time around - and i wish he was)

• There was the one that lied about having kids when I met him, we were on the phone

i said "what brought you to the city"

he said: "you know to be closer to the kids"

• The one that lied over and over again about being in a relationship, After 6months i relented and to a date only to find out that he had a girlfriend

So now I have to decide whether or not to continue to enjoy my own company or invite others to the party.

A biscuit short

Why are people crazy?

(Not in a medically / brain chemical / legal manner way)

I keep bumping into this guy and he's a stone cold nut,

Ordinarily - not a problem, just avoid and evade

BUT

I see him on campus and other places (to many other places)

If I stopped to think about it, I might wonder at the number of coincidences

I'm not saying that everyone needs to be the same

I'm saying - If your behavior is the extreme opposite of everyone else ....

that might be a problem

Asking someone a question and then singing their reply over and over again - Nutty

*sigh*

I told my mother that if I go missing - they should check this dude's closest

She said "maybe he just needs a friend"

(That's a mother for your)

Maybe I'm just a nut magnet- 'cause this guy is definitely a biscuit short of a dozen
