WHOSE ONBOARD THE CARVIVAL SPLENDOR?

NOVEMBER 21ST is rapidly approaching...WILL YOU BE ONBOARD??

The Mechanics Of Passion

Lately I've been feeling a bit aimless.

I'm not sure what the root of my rootlessness is, though some might say it is the fact that the love of my life, my only child Ryan has recently graduated high school. Maybe those individuals would be right in their assessment of my situation though in my heart of hearts, I would beg to differ.

No, I truly don't feel that Ryan's rapid movement towards the world of adult independence has anything to do with my own rootlessness; I think it is something much more intrinsic to me personally. I think my issue is a severe and debilitating lack of passion, or minimally a deficiency in the tools necessary to handle the mechanics required to bring my passions to the surface.

I know what you're thinking: "What the hell is this sistah talking about now?" Let me explain. I know without a doubt that I am a woman of incredibly intense passions. However, currently I don't seem to be able to tap into any of the things towards which I feel passion. For instance, I am passionate about writing but I can't figure out what to write about. Thus, I don't write. This is not good folks and it is but one example of my recently passionless existence!

Now before y'all start getting all worried about your girl, let me assure you that I AM FINE. I am NOT depressed, nor do I feel discouraged. I am simply at one of those junctures in life when a little external inspiration will do a body good ;)

So help your sistah out...How do you manage the mechanics of tapping into your passions (whatever they are) when the flow is not what it once was? How do you find fresh and new ways to motivate yourself to pursue dreams and fantasies you rarely even find yourself dreaming or fantasizing about anymore? All suggestions, tips, and anecdotal information will be greatly appreciated and in the meantime, I will keep on keeping on as Gladys Knight sang because as y'all know, that's what I do!

Just A Quick Update On Ya Gurl...

Sorry for the long absence, but it seems that yours truly has somehow injured her neck and has found herself dealing with considerable pain and discomfort over the last week and a half or so. The really terrible part is that unfortunately all of you, my beautiful albeit PERVERTED-minded blog family members are wrong when you make the assumption that this neck injury was achieved in the commission of some lewd or lascivious behavior. (LOL) Even more than the pain in my neck, it pains me to say that no such luck has befallen your gurl...DAYUM, DAYUM, DAYUM!!!

I am currently being medicated with pain killers, muscle relaxers, and steroids to try to alleviate the stress and strain on my neck muscles, as well as undergoing physical therapy. I have been off from work for the last week and am currently scheduled for follow-up evaluation on this upcoming Wednesday. At this point, I am only able to do short stints in front of the computer and I am unable to drive at all which makes this not much fun at all.

Thus, I will stop in when I can and hope to be back in full effect in the not too distant future. In the meantime, it would be fantastic to chat with some of those I love so much on the phone, so give a sistah a holla and if you don't already have my number, hit me up on the personal email or just ask somebody as those who have the number prolly have a pretty good idea on who they would have my blessings to pass it on to ;) Also, as always it is my pleasure to get your comments right here at home ;)

So send up a special word to whoever it is you pray if indeed you pray, or simply send your blessings directly my way as I'm pretty much feeling like a big ass wuss right about now and could use any support you can offer. Whatever you do, please, please, please hang on in there with your gurl 'cause she won't ever be gone for long and you can bet your bottom dollar on that right thur!!!

She's Baaaaaaaackkkkkkkk....well, almost ;)

Hey blog fam!

Sorry for the long absence, but as I stated in my last post, the last couple of weeks were a beast! I am sitting in the airport at Chicago Midway as I type while awaiting my DELAYED plane which is scheduled to have me back in The Lou by 3pm this afternoon. I am not overly confident about my chances, so I thought I might post this quick blog to pass the time as I wait.

The party was a blast though Mother Nature got a bit pissy with us and tried to rain us out. I don't know what her problem was since she was sent a gold engraved invitation inviting her to attend. No matter though cause as y'all know, Ms. Just Write Now don't let a little Mother Nature piss stop no show! I have been too busy with business travels the last week to upload my pictures or to create my movie but as soon as I do, they will be shared here along with all the details of the festivities. However, I would like to thank my blog bro Mega Rich and his spectacularly beautiful family for gracing my affair with their presence ;)

I know I've been off the radar for a bit and my apologies to all of my regular reads for my failure to drop in and to comment. I find that I am so far behind with all of you super regular bloggers that I will never catch up if I comment. So though I will go back and catch up on everything I missed by reading the old posts, I will probably reserve my comments for the most recent posts so that I can get back on track as soon as possible...unless that is I find I simply can't help myself ;b

Even so, when I finally had the time to get online and do me instead of "The Man's bidding" last night, I found my gurls had started THE PUSSY CHATS! Now why they wanna go and do that?! I got caught up over there in a matter of an hour or less and simply couldn't refrain from adding my own two cents once I found my personal invitation to do so! You can see what I had to say here, but there are so many other things you've thought but never had the guts to say all over the place that you simply must stop by whether you have a pussy of your own or not! So at this time, I'd like to give a huge thank you to my blog sistahs Lovebabz and CapCity for RELEASING THE CATS OVER AT THE CHATS! Y'all are my idols!

Well, they are claiming my plane is here so I'd better wrap this now. I'll be back soon and I look forward to stopping by all of y'alls places soon so gone and get the margaritas ready!
