Karma and fruit juice

Yesterday the universe told me I needed a Karma adjustment - not in so many words but in deed.

• My guest lecturer bowed out and I found myself waking late for a class that I wasn't supposed to be attending

Upon shaking my orange juice, the top flew off and juice FLEW everywhere (I'm a rigorous shaker)

• My regular parking lot wasn't accepting cash and I ended up parking to close to a hydrant (I was late after all)...... I got a ticket - Oddly enough I arrived at my car at 12:30 and my ticket was timed at 12:31

I drove to my second appointment and ran into construction traffic, which made me late for a meeting about a gig

• Although I fed the meter, I had another ticket when I left.... my second of the day

AND then.... I tossed my bag into the car, the bottle of apple juice (not opened) decides to loose its top and spill..... all over everything - books, papers, mail and etc

So I've decided I need to check my Karma.... although none of this was life altering, I consider myself good at taking hints...

Sex and Sensibility

Recently someone told me they were giving up their celibacy. She told me that it was an outdated, mainstream and eurocentric value........... In that case; is having sex - modern, fringe and afrocentric?
There are a lot of people yelling and screaming about whose sex'n whom and etc. I think the abstinent only messages in public schools are irresponsible and hypocritical. There is sex in every aspect of american media, yet we tell teens to wait.

Frankly, I don't care who or what your sex'n... it comes down to safety.... and the point is --- Its Just Not Safe to sleep with multiple partners who have multiple partners. No kinda sex is worth my life or quality of life. Maybe celibacy is more modern than she thinks.


Meanwhile: I had a good day, busy but good. My mom's sick so after I played 'fetch and carry water girl'.... I managed to get some things done in my apartment - I'm content

Helicopters and Big Brother

So, I live in a high rise and today a helicopter flew by and shinned its light into my apartment. For a long minute they hovered. My view overlooks the a gated courtyard, I guess Philly PD likes to be voyeurs on weekends. It was.............................. disturbing. I live on the uppermost floors, so reason is there to shine a light into my apt?



Meanwhile - it was 72 today.

Climate Change, Global warming and the elephant

In Philly, the last few days have been like spring...... not just in a literary sense but literately.

Tomorrow its supposed to be 70! The local news potentates and weather smiling heads say "its great" and we should "appreciate it while its here" I say this is the giant elephant in the room the talking heads don't want to see.... How can this not be climate change or global warming or whatever catchy catch phrase is in vogue...

Cherry blossoms are blooming on Main Street Manayunk and the grass is growing...They say its only been 12 days of 70 degree and over weather in Philly in Jan since they've been recording it here..... Tomorrow would be the 13th, I'm betting that next year we'll see the 14th.

Today is my birthday..........


Below is the stuff from my old Blog - A day in the life...


I hate to leave but I gotta go
So.... I'm leaving Atlanta. Why?There are lot of reasons I could give.... but the major one is that I feel the need to regroup.I've always believed that I ended up where I was supposed to be.... maybe this time I got the timing wrong. Right place wrong time, so I anticipate coming back to Atlanta one day but right now I need to go..... and I think I need to put some distance between me and someone else. He's in Tallahassee but apparently I need more space.

Miracles
Miracles So... i was in a car "accident". An emergency road side vehicle ran me off the road (ironic isn't it). Due to my driving prowess (modest), i avoided hitting any other vehicles and ended up against the guard rail. I walked away but my car....(well that's for another day). The guy who caused the accident was ( in a word) a JERK. He got the ticket but sadly my car (my baby) got the worst of everything else.You might think the miracle was walking away and it was... but the other miracle was more unexpectedSO my deductible was announced to be $1000.00, (who has that laying around). I was worried sick as time past and the days drew closer for me to pick up my car and pay my DEDUCTIBLE... On the last night, i beseeched GOD to drop a $1000 bux outta the sky! I (like most people) promised all manner of things to, if only HE would deliver me from my worry.....And lo and behold!The other drivers insurance company came out of No Where on the LAST day and stepped in to pay everything!!!
The moral of this anecdote:
Trust in GOD
(and write down everything you promised 'cause you might just have to do 'em all)

They say the grocery store is a great place to meet men...
It started at the Whole Foods on Ponce. I was my usual oblivious self when I noticed a beautiful chocolately male gazing at me over the fresh pizzas. *sigh* He was tall, dark and handsome (of course). Everywhere I was, he appeared: tasting (ok eating) the free spice cake, picking over priced drinks and watchin the kids make domes out of the free guacamole. *sigh*He made his move in the parking lot.
His stats: single, college educated, charming, employed and no children.
The attributes: beautiful smile (and all his teeth), in shape (enough), over six feet and smelling great
His name (and this a just a clue): Ch.........ba
We exchanged numbers and he called me that night and the conversation was tight until....
-he asked me for directions to my apartment-
For what (I innocently asked)
-why he wanted to come over and make me feel good of course-
But you don't know me
-this is the time for me to get to know you-
Well what do you mean make me feel good, you mean like sex??? (hey maybe I'm just getting this wrong)
-that and much more-
There's not much more to tell, Ch........ba was off the roster and I avoided his phone calls like the (uhmmm) plague.
I could have lectured him about the dumba$$ error of his ways but that would have just made him a better 'playa'.
