Okay, this being my first post, let me say a few introductory words. First off, those of you who may have known me in high school or at Virginia Wesleyan College, I guarantee that you don't know me anymore. Don't believe me? Read about me! You'll be surprised. If you choose to continue reading any of this, I ask that you set forth with no preconceived notions of the person who produced this blog. My dude, Ozzy, talked me into starting one of these things, and I have to admit, I'm already enjoying it. I love words, I love to write, anything. It's something I'm really kind of getting back in touch with, so this is a good start to that.
As the first little "update" on my life, I would like to thank anyone who has been there for me in the past two months. The past two months have honestly been two of the most difficult months of my life. Whether you had any idea what I was going through behind the scenes or not (I pretty much kept things on the low), if you were one of the select few people that had a part in keeping me grounded recently, then I appreciate YOU!THROW BACK OF THE WEEK! ::

Erykah Badu Of the album Baduizm (1997)
If you don't know it.....LISTEN!
If you do.....REFRESH YOUR MEMORY!
And finally....a little light poetry I wrote.....SymphonyI've created a sort of masterpiece from the depths within my mind,
It's sprung from inspiration that I never thought I'd find.
See, I can't explain the overflowing thoughts living in my head,
But it seems as though you may have woken a part of me once dead.
I never uttered maybe, someday, possibly, I could,
Instead I battled off the idea that inevitably I would.
I still can't seem to fathom how I started singing this new song,
But my heart is calmed in knowing that you're singing right along.
Now, I know my pitch is quite off key and my tempo is too slow,
But I know the lyrics by memory, every so, fa, me, rae, doe.
Your loyalty, trust, companionship and utter love for me,
Seem to fit so perfectly into our lovely symphony.
Take my hand, we'll dance along to the music that we make,
Please don't mind the audience, they thrive off our mistakes.
This may take some practice til the day it's all down pat,
And by then they will admire from the seats in which they've sat.
Don't expect acknowledgement, applause will never come,
For you and I are entertainers in a show that is never done.
