For Mom...

Happy Mother's Day to all the beautiful, hard working mommas in the world!

I love you, Mom :)

Here's the link to the ultimate Mother's Day song by Boyz II Men, A Song for Mama:



Man, that song brings me to tears everytime!

My Afternoon with Mr. Elba

It was Saturday afternoon. I was bored and in the mood for a good flick. I flip through the endless amount of movies on Comcast On Demand and what do I find? Tyler Perry's Daddy's Little Girls. Now, I've heard about this movie before but I never had the chance to see it, so I press play.

Let me tell you, was I stuck on....I d r i s E l b a.
Seriously, he was the best part of the whole movie.

Damn.
You may have seen him in Beyonce's last movie, Obsessed, and in 2007's holiday movie, This Christmas. Yea, I wikipedia-ed him like the true stalker that I am, and guess what ya'll? He is actually an Englishman - born and raised in London, England! He has the accent and all.

And I love a man with an accent...

First!

Hi World!
Yea, so this is my very first blog on here so I thought I would get down to business and pop this thing off with a little poetry, yes?

This is a poem I wrote a few days ago...along with a dope photo I found online.

So enjoy and thanks for reading :)
peace.

I-76

It's a long ride back to Philly
and we have not said a single word to each other.
You drive on
while I sit in the passenger seat
staring out the window trying
to avoid the sight of your face.
I can feel you looking over at me.
It's a long ride back.

The highway is empty at 4 in the morning
My mind and eyes are heavy
And you -
You continue to drive.

I look over to your window.
From a distance
I can see the Roxborough Tower Farm.
I remember us
driving down this same road one night and asking you,
"Baby, what are those?"
as I pointed to the sea of blinking red lights.
You told me that they were signal towers for tv and radio.
And I remember how I attempted to
etch into my memory the
beautiful side view of you
driving into the night with those
lights shining like stars in the background.

Now here we are again,
driving by.

For a moment I suspect that this
will be the last time I ever see this sight again -
You and
those fucking towers...

and I know I am right.
This will be the last time.
