i was having a discussion about poetry last night with the new crush... (i don't know if new crush even applies anymore since it's been a while now and we are officially a couple, but whatever). so we were just talking in general and I shared my favorite poem of all time. It's called No Second Troy by William Butler Yeats... and i know this sounds nerdy but i love one line in particular which i will make bold...
No Second Troy
William Butler Yeats
Why should I blame her that she filled my days
With misery, or that she would of late
Have taught to ignorant men most violent ways,
Or hurled the little streets upon the great.
Had they but courage equal to desire?
What could have made her peaceful with a mind
That nobleness made simple as a fire,
With beauty like a tightened bow, a kind
That is not natural in an age like this,
Being high and solitary and most stern?
Why, what could she have done, being what she is?
Was there another Troy for her to burn?
so that confirmed my nerdiness but what can i say. i was just sitting here wondering why i like this poem so much but it just seems so passionate to me... in a subtle way... and subtlety goes a long way with me... in a lot of areas.
like i think being subtle is much sexier than just being brazen. for instance, i think a certain look from across the room or an unexpected caress is so much more intriguing than someone just saying something blatant. now don't get me wrong... there is definitely times when aggression is necessary... when i need someone to just grip me up and have their way. but in general i think subtlety is key. Is that a female thing? like i think lingerie is sexier than just blatant nakedness... i don't know. i think guys are probably the exact opposite.. hmmmm maybe i'll take a survey

AAAAAHHH!!!
i am so cringing right now...
i was just busted singing at my desk... torture!!
i told you guys i have stage fright... YIKES...
so i am sitting here on break doing a sudoku puzzle (i LOVE them)
and i have my lil ipod on my desk playing... the truth by india.arie was on and it makes me think of the new crush and i was really concentrating on my puzzle so apparently i started singing a little louder than normal. and my cube neighbor stopped what she was doing and was listening... this is the 2nd or third time this has happened. i am so embarrassed. you think i would learn after the first time but when i am not paying attention i just get in a zone. so she was like, "i didn't want you to know i was listening because you sounded nice." then proceeds to ask the other neighbors if they heard me. now i am on a mission to not sing loud in here again... torture.
and why the eff does it smell like dead fish soaked in ammonia in one of the bathrooms here at work. not fresh and clean ammonia but yuck somebody probably has some ish they need to go to the doctor about ammonia. like seriously, you are grown... GROWN!! there is no one employed here under 18 and most are over 25 so wtf?? if you go to the bathroom and pull your draws down and your eyeballs start to water from the fumes, that shit is not normal. if the person in the stall next to you starts choking on the smell, take yo' ass to the girly doctor and get scraped... douche with bleach... something but please, for the love of God, do not let that ride. oh that mess gave me an attitude.
the end

i quit! and other stuff
so it's not like i expect to get paid and not do any work... seriously, i know i get a paycheck to provide services. but this is getting ridiculous... back to back calls all day is not cool... EVER! can i live? can i breathe? can i get a few minutes between calls to check my email and my myspace?? can i get a chance to post something on here. sheesh... the nerve of these people! HA HA!
just kidding... well sort of. it's days like this that i miss my old job where i literally did nothing for 2 years. i mean i didn't really make a whole money either... my salary is triple what i was making back then but i could take a two hour lunch and be the shiftless negro i enjoy being without anyone bothering me. this is why i need to be independently wealthy... and do lunch... and buy shoes to my lil heart's content.
hmmmmm
soooo i work with the kid... he is completely obnoxious... like totally and completely annoying. but he is my buddy... i often refer to him as an annoying little brother even though he is about 2 or 3 years older than me. we became cool because i thoroughly enjoy his wardrobe choices... well anyway this kid (let's call him white boy) sits directly across from me but a few rows over. he sends me texts and im's all day saying i can see you... i'm staring at you... look up. just dumb stuff and our office joke is that he is in love with me so he makes it a point to hug me everyday even though it annoys the bejeezus out of me... so anyway this chick (we'll call her the pirate) sits in the row in between us and she actually gets jealous. i mean she is screwing him so i understand but seriously no.... me and the kid joke and he is obnoxious but has a colorful wardrobe which makes me happy. i can dig a stylish person... male or female. anyway, the pirate just shot me the look of death through her one good eye (hence the name pirate)... the old liz would have had half a mind to flirt with him just for spite but alas i am not mean anymore... licky for her. so the kid was at one of the bbq's i went to this past weekend and he did what he does and grabbed me in a bear hug and wouldn't let go so i was squirming and he was not trying to let go and eventually we fall on the kitchen floor... my homegirl d-money has pics of the entire debacle. i will post them once she emails them to me.
in other news...
my cousin mad at me because i won't co-sign his foolishness. he is my man-whoring cousin of previous blog posts. one of my friends was his main side jawn (jawn is philly slang for... well... kind of for anything but in this case it means chick) for years... YEARS! and she has so much going for her... we'll call her blue-green. so bluegreen has a career and is so cute and stylish and such a big heart... a few stuck up tendencies but nothing outrageous. and she FINALLY kicked my cousin to the curb as he is still with his fiancee/baby momma... and he don't know how to act. so he tells me to tell her that he said he misses her and he thinks about her all the time. i said hell no. he proceeded to tell me how i am a bad cousin and i am supposed to look him out blah blah blah. so i had to put him in his place and let him know if he needs me to run up in somebody's mouth i am bout it but i am not gonna knowingly get MY FRIEND back involved in some foolishness. i am so annoyed. he doesn't want to be with her like exclusively but he doesn't want her to be with anyone else either... selfish
and last but not least i have to address hateration...
so i tell a friend about my new crush situation... and this dude had good advice but had to pepper it with a lil haterade... i mean we did have a thing YEARRRRRRS ago and he has stayed a good friend, is married with kids but everytime i tell him about a new love interest, there is always that like thing... that i'm about to rain on your parade thing... sometimes i just need you to say i'm happy for you. i understand his concern... i really do but the last comment was "He’s a young buck, so he may get restless after a while. things are always good in the beginning. Normally it takes at least 6 months to see someone’s true colors." uhhhh... gee thanks. effer

mmm lemonade....
so the new crush is going well... almost too well. we want the same things, believe the same things, are both passionate and imaginative. the conversations are so great... soooo not boring. like seriously, where has this kid been all my life? now i know it's always great in the beginning but this is different somehow. either this guys has phenomenal game or he is the real deal. i guess time will tell. but i can say this. this is the first time since i was with the ex fiancee, that i feel such a strong connection. it's the first time in a loooooooooooong time that i can't wait to talk to someone again. and i want him around all the time. like even when i am doing everyday stuff, just driving around, if i see something that makes me smile, i always wish he was there to share it with me. that is the FIRST time that has ever happened to me. i've never ever thought about someone like that. like last night for instance, i went out with my cousin and a few friends to this reggae night in philly. we went to a place called cavanaughsriverdeck and it is basically a club set up on a pier on the Delaware River. it was a beautiful night and the sky was clear, there was a light breeze but the water was calm and there was a beautiful view of the bridge and i was standing there kind of moving to the music, i stopped and wrapped my arms around myself and closed my eyes and just wished he was with me in that moment, just to enjoy the night and the view. pretty corny i know... but i can't help it.
i really hope this works out. i am so over meeting people that don't know what they want. or who are not an the same page as me... not equally yoked so to speak. and i hope this works out because dude seriously woke up feelings i have long buried. i feel hopeful and excited and bold and sexy and all the things a woman should feel. he makes me feel like he will take care of me and protect me when i am vulnerable, applaud me when i am strong... the cheesiness never stops...haha
but i am serious. it's a lot to feel about someone i've only been really talking to for about a month... but we kind of new each other before that for a few years i guess, just never really talked. so that is how i rationalize it in my head. and he is funny, like really really funny... and smart. and pretty much a great guy.
stay tuned... we'll see how this one goes...

bored
memorial day weekend and i have nooooooooo plans...
i figure there will be some bbq's somewhere for me to crash... just haven't heard anything yet. a lot of people in my neck of the woods go down the shore (jersey speak for going to the beach) for mem day. it's too cold for that shyt though... nah buddy. it has to be 85 or more for me to go down the shore. damn that.
my lil sis is graduating from college today. i am so proud of her. not sure what i am gonna get her as a gift yet but i think maybe a ring or a necklace or something.
maybe i can con my parents into bbq'ing for her tomorrow.
my foot tattoo is healing up. it looks a lil crazy right now but i can tell the end result will be hot!
i think i want to do something to my hair... not sure what yet but maybe just cut about an inch off... we'll see.
well i am off to get ready for the day! have a good weekend everyone! burnt hot dogs for everyone :o)

Summertime...Gershwin not Fresh Prince
"summertime
and the living is easy
fish are jumping
and the cotton is high..."
not sure why that song is in my head right now... maybe because i was just thinking about how packed this summer is going to be....
i have a lot of trips planned and trying to squeeze some smaller ones in as well.
june 13th going to chicago for a few days for my homie's graduation
june 27th going to baltimore for the weekend
july 3rd- going away for 4th of july weekend (looking forward to this one the most)
july 14th going to disney world for the week
that's it so far but i am excited.
"summertiiiiiiiiime...
what I love most about summer is the warm weather and just the renewal that comes with it. i feel like i am breaking out of a shell i have been in... some sort of winter funk. now that i am typing this, i wonder if new crush has anything to do with it?
whatever the reason, this feels great. the only way i can explain it is i feel like i am breaking away an outside layer i had on. peeling off the armor... it's refreshing... like... lemonade (inside joke)
"and the living is eeeaaaaaaasy..."
i see myself turning a corner. maybe the worst is behind me and there are better days ahead. hope is a great feeling. i don't really expect life to be easy... i know you have to work hard for everything worth having, but i think i will be enjoying the work a little more going forward. we'll see...
yes... we shall see...

i just found out a good friend's dad died on sunday. i literally feel sick over it. it was pink shoes/scrabble girl... those of you that read this back in the day know i have had my shares of ups and downs with this chick but at the end of the day i love her and definitely have her back. i feel so sad for her. she was extra extra close to him. and it was expected but unexpected. he just found out he had cancer like maybe 3 months ago....
Monday, May 19, 2008
so i'm smitten...
out of the blue... TOTALLY, COMPLETELY unexpected!! I have no idea how it happened, but i officially have a crush on someone. a new crush... a 16 year old, high school, you hang up no you hang up no you hang up, smiling all day, butterflies in the tummy, is this for real type of crush. i almost don't even want to blog about it because i don't want to jinx it... but it is completely irrational. i'm not gonna disclose the details because i am not ready for the criticism... if one of my friends told me the scenario as it is i would tell them they were smoking them tweeds. but i am happy. happy like i haven't been in a loooooooooooong time. i'm hoping for the best but trying not to expect too much. key word is trying... less expectations less chance for disappointment.
who am i kidding....
i am smitten!!
who am i kidding....
i am smitten!!

Dopeness Personified
Soooo apparently I am dope. I always thought so, but others are starting to see it too. Heh heh heh…
It’s nice to be complimented from time to time. It’s nice when someone “gets” you. It’s nice when it’s someone totally unexpected…
I don’t have too many regrets in life. I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason and even the worse situation can be a learning experience, therefore, not something to regret. HOWEVER, I have a pit in the bottom of my stomach right because of a conversation I had last night.... which, ironically enough, I regret having.... Uhhhhhhhhg torture….. I feel naked, exposed, vulnerable, silly…. I’m not even gonna go into too much detail but I have got to figure out how to feel better about this. Long story short, I bared my thoughts, feelings, emotions … still not sure why… I wasn’t looking for advice... there was no desired outcome... And I don’t feel better now that it’s out there. I feel worse. I’m tired and cranky and annoyed. I am ready to move forward with my life though. Of that, I am certain. I am tired of being stagnant emotionally, of barely moving an inch in any direction. I have to pick a direction and go for it. Full speed ahead. No stopping… do not pass go, do not collect $200… I am serious. Makes me want to just pick up and leave everything behind but I know that is not the answer. I actually feel a little bit better now that I typed this… even though it probably makes absolutely no sense to anyone but me. Yeah I feel a little better… maybe the tide is turning afterall…

why did the chicken cross the road....
Why did the chicken cross the road?
BARACK OBAMA:
The chicken crossed the road because it was time for a CHANGE! The chicken wanted CHANGE!
JOHN MC CAIN:
My friends, that chicken crossed the road because he recognized the need to engage in cooperation and dialogue with all the chickens on the other side of the road.
HILLARY CLINTON:
When I was First Lady, I personally helped that little chicken to cross the road. This experience makes me uniquely qualified to ensure -- right from Day One! -- that every chicken in this country gets the chance it deserves to cross the road. But then, this really isn't about me.......
DR. PHIL:
The problem we have here is that this chicken won't realize that he must first deal with the problem on 'THIS' side of the road before it goes after the problem on the 'OTHER SIDE' of the road. What we need to do is
help him realize how stupid he's acting by not taking on his 'CURRENT' problems before adding 'NEW' problems.
OPRAH:
Well, I understand that the chicken is having problems, which is why he wants to cross this road so bad. So instead of having the chicken learn from his mistakes and take falls, which is a part of life, I'm going to
give this chicken a car so that he can just drive across the road and not live his life like the rest of the chickens.
GEORGE W. BUSH:
We don't really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road, or not. The chicken is either against us, or for us. There is no middle ground here.
COLIN POWELL:
Now to the left of the screen, you can clearly see the satellite image of the chicken crossing the road...
ANDERSON COOPER - CNN:
We have reason to believe there is a chicken, but we have not yet been allowed to have access to the other side of the road.
JOHN KERRY:
Although I voted to let the chicken cross the road, I am now against it! It was the wrong road to cross, and I was misled about the chicken's intentions. I am not for it now, and will remain against it.
NANCY GRACE:
That chicken crossed the road because he's GUILTY! You can see it in his eyes and the way he walks.
PAT BUCHANAN:
To steal the job of a decent, hardworking American.
MARTHA STEWART:
No one called me to warn me which way that chicken was going. I had a standing order at the Farmer's Market to sell my eggs when the price dropped to a certain level. No little bird gave me any insider information.
DR SEUSS:
Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes, the chicken crossed the road, but why it crossed I've not been told.
ERNEST HEMINGWAY:
To die in the rain. Alone.
GRANDPA:
In my day we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Somebody told us the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough.
BARBARA WALTERS:
Isn't that interesting? In a few moments, we will be listening to the chicken tell, for the first time, the heart warming story of how it experienced a serious case of molting, and went on to accomplish its life long dream of crossing the road.
ARISTOTLE:
It is the nature of chickens to cross the road.
JOHN LENNON:
Imagine all the chickens in the world crossing roads together, in peace.
BILL GATES:
I have just released eChicken2007, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your check book. Internet Explorer is an integral part of the Chicken. This new
platform is much more stable and will never cra...#@&&^(C% .........reboot.
ALBERT EINSTEIN:
Did the chicken really cross the road, or did the road move beneath the chicken?
BILL CLINTON:
I did not cross the road with THAT chicken. What is your definition of chicken?
AL GORE:
I invented the chicken!
COLONEL SANDERS:
Did I miss one?
DICK CHENEY:
Where's my gun?
AL SHARPTON:
Why are all the chickens white? We need some black chickens.
BARACK OBAMA:
The chicken crossed the road because it was time for a CHANGE! The chicken wanted CHANGE!
JOHN MC CAIN:

Although I voted to let the chicken cross the road, I am now against it! It was the wrong road to cross, and I was misled about the chicken's intentions. I am not for it now, and will remain against it.
NANCY GRACE:
That chicken crossed the road because he's GUILTY! You can see it in his eyes and the way he walks.
PAT BUCHANAN:
To steal the job of a decent, hardworking American.
MARTHA STEWART:
No one called me to warn me which way that chicken was going. I had a standing order at the Farmer's Market to sell my eggs when the price dropped to a certain level. No little bird gave me any insider information.
DR SEUSS:
Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes, the chicken crossed the road, but why it crossed I've not been told.
ERNEST HEMINGWAY:
To die in the rain. Alone.
GRANDPA:
In my day we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Somebody told us the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough.
BARBARA WALTERS:
Isn't that interesting? In a few moments, we will be listening to the chicken tell, for the first time, the heart warming story of how it experienced a serious case of molting, and went on to accomplish its life long dream of crossing the road.
ARISTOTLE:
It is the nature of chickens to cross the road.
JOHN LENNON:
Imagine all the chickens in the world crossing roads together, in peace.
BILL GATES:
I have just released eChicken2007, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your check book. Internet Explorer is an integral part of the Chicken. This new
platform is much more stable and will never cra...#@&&^(C% .........reboot.
ALBERT EINSTEIN:
Did the chicken really cross the road, or did the road move beneath the chicken?
BILL CLINTON:
I did not cross the road with THAT chicken. What is your definition of chicken?
AL GORE:
I invented the chicken!
COLONEL SANDERS:
Did I miss one?
DICK CHENEY:
Where's my gun?
AL SHARPTON:
Why are all the chickens white? We need some black chickens.

just another day
i am going to refrain from blogging about the arteest right here because i have to get my thoughts together about the latest nonsensical thing that happened. i really don't even know what to say other than i am part annoyed and part amused.... that is suuuuuuch a weird combination of feelings that i can't even say anything else about it for now.
next
Ironman was GREAT!!! I loved it! such a good adaptation of the comic.
next
I went to Six Flags Great Adventure yesterday. it was cold and cloudy so not a lot of people in the park. I went on every roller coaster! I loved it! my faves... El Toro and Kingda Ka... craziness! good fun... can't wait to go back.

i'm losing my mind...
a weird thing happened to me Friday morning. I woke up and the first thought i had was... brace yourselves... "I miss Hotsauce (the ex-fiancee)". Second thought was "WHAT THE HELL DID I JUST SAY??". then i thought about it. i don't miss Hotsauce the person but i do miss the relationship i had with hotsauce. i actually was feeling a little depressed about it. we had such a great relationship for so long... we did stuff together... fun stuff, corny stuff, boring stuff. we talked. he really was my best friend. I just feel like i am never gonna find that again. i mean it has only been 2 years since we broke up so i know that doesn't mean there is no hope in finding someone new. i just feel like the chances are slim. We would go to museums, all the new releases at the movies... on nice days, we would go to the park and shoot free throws... sit on the swings and talk and laugh. he didn't begrudge my nerd tendencies. didn't get mad when i watched the history channel or discovery... he wasn't put off by my quirks... i still don't know what happened to that relationship. now don't get me wrong... i in NO WAY want Hotsauce back, i do want to have a relationship like that again though. i want to love someone and i want someone to love me. not with conditions or restrictions, but with unconditional, passionate, romantic, uncompromising love. i want a relationship where i get as much as i give. i just don't know that i am going to find that. at least not anytime soon. and i know what they say, you'll find it when you least expect it or when you are not looking. but i don't know that i will ever be not looking or not hoping. I am getting used to being single, to going to weddings by myself, to going to the movies with my roommate, to having to hear about everyone elses relationships. One thing i will say, i am not willing to settle. i love intensely and completely and i deserve the same in return... the thing is, is there a man out there that isn't intimidated by all that is.... me??
maybe one day...
