A Much Needed Surprise
as of late, my life has revolved around poetry practice, work, Cookie and my parents.
so it was a pleasent surprise to receive a gift from my favorite auther and friend, Bernice McFadden. Bernice is VERY close to another author im starting to like, Geneva Holliday. they are SO close that Bernice got Geneva to send me an autographed copy of Geneva's latest book Heat (which is getting good reviews on Amazon). YEA BABY!!!
the book arrived at a very good time because it will allow me an escape from everything. plus, the title, HEAT, gives one reason to believe that it will take the mind to a place filled with erotic pleasure! that gets another....YEA BABY!!
thank you Bernice and Geneva for the gift. love ya!
the other EH!
ps. Bernice is having a contest on blog. winners receive autographed copies of her latest books; Nowhere Is A Place (which is FIYAH) and Heat. There is a link to her Blogger in my friends list. take a second and give a guess....

Getting Butterflies
it has begun...nationals is right around the corner and the butterflies have emerged from their cocoons, spread their wings and taking flight....inside my stomach. after attending three prior nationals, this will be the first time the badge around my neck (or elsewhere)will read 'poet.' thats right, no volunteer status for the kid this year! what REALLY sucks is my 'hangout' time will be limited...im sure we will be practicing when not performing. plus, im gonna miss being with the Neeee Ooooo family and following them around like a groupie!! im still gonna be rooting for them though (gonna wear the ugly people shirt under my other shirts)!!
after attending slams as an indie for so long, its been rough getting used to the team concept. everyone has different idea's for poems, different ways to write, different vocals tones and different styles. yet, we are ALL trying to pull it together to make things work for the team. my big thing is too do what i do and enjoy nationals from the perspective of a competing poet! damn the scores, damn the judges and damn the crowd if they dont feel me....sike, i want them to feel me. if they dont, i will still kick it!!
can anyone say Ihop?

My Pops
my pops is STILL in the hospital.
Saturday, he had an MRI done on his hip....found there was an infection in the hip away that had found its way into his bloodstream....now they are talking about talking about taking his legs and most of pelvis area...but i know my pops isnt going for that shit.....so they are saying that the procedure isnt done, he will get mennagitis and die....
its just going from bad to worse...but we are trying to be strong and lean on the Creator to pull my pops through.
keep him in your prayers and thoughts.
