Reach a Star

I wrote this in about 5 minutes during a class lol.. something that was simply on my mind and I had to get it on paper ASAP.
How do you reach a star?


Do you stand on your toes?

Do you jump up and down and stretch far as you go?

Do you travel farther than a man's ever been

or invent a device that will take you to it?

Should I run and just run 'til I can't anymore?

Should I holler and yell 'til my throat gets too sore?

Maybe setting a trap will sort of coax it down

or if I shoot an arrow it'll hit the ground.


...would it make a sound?


Smoke signal, morse code, or a carrier pigeon:

some words from my heart might make it come on in

If I sit and stare at it for awhile

it'll twinkle at me. That always makes me smile.


Well..


what if I simply asked it to come down?


I'd hold it and value it as though it's LIFE

Through all of that work, and all of that strife

I went through to get you, no I'd never let you

believe for a second that I'd ever forget you


But hey.. you're a star. Too far to connect to.


It's cool..


I'll be invisible


..long as I can see you.

So I quit my job today..

.. or rather, submitted a letter of resignation. When I've said that I've been feeling a change coming, this is one of those major things I was talking about. I've been dealing with being unhappy for a long time now. It's not necessarily the job itself, but a JOB IN GENERAL. I sit at this desk every weekday of my life and daydream about a different type of life. I try to work on other endeavors while I'm off, but even something as simple as a hobby is damn near impossible because when I'm not at work, I have mommy duties. When I don't have mommy duties, I'm at work. Sometimes those two things loop into each other. And when I have a moment to have a break from both all I'm trying to do is REST. I thank God every day that I was able to land a great-paying job at a respected agency right out of college. I was hired before I even graduated, which was a huge blessing and I am very proud of that accomplishment. I was convinced that I was going to be th...

The Trey Songz Hype (o.O) ..

Image
So a couple weeks ago I purchased 4 tickets to a Trey Songz show at my alma mater, Georgia State University , that my homie Kellz put me on to. (The tickets are still on sale by the way, Atlanta. Buy your tickets here .) Everybody that I'm going with are super hyped and excited to see him. One of my friends, Brook , is tryna make sure we all bring something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue . lol.. My Twitter timeline is constantly on fire with Trey Songz comments. Whenever he puts out a new music video Twitter is ablaze with comments from girls ( and some boys ) about how panties are wet and vaginas are pulsating. Somebody's always #nowplaying Trey Songz something or other. Right now.. I apologize, but I just don't get it . Let me start off by saying that I am in NO way, shape, or form hating on Trey Songz. As you can see from what I've described in my previous paragraph, he's obviously an amazing artist. Selling out shows, selling...

Personal Problem

This is me right now. But Black. LOL So if you know me, you know that it's pretty hard to get me really mad. I've learned over time that there is too much to smile about, too much positivity, too many blessings bestowed upon me for me to get angry and upset over menial things. That extra stress is very unnecessary. However, I do have a personal issue. I DO tend to get stressed out sometimes, but I recognize that it is nobody's fault but my own. The only time this really happens is when I repress what I want to express...and harbor it inside until it becomes such a heavy weight on my shoulders that it becomes unbearably painful. Yea, I know that this may sound surprising to those that check the webshow and/or follow me on Twitter, but sometimes, I am afraid to say what's on my mind. For some, this may not be very surprising at all lol. I usually end up quite depressed because of this. When all I have to do is simply say what's on my mind, I get scared. I freeze up. I...
