Minneapolis, Part Uno
I know, I know… this blog could become a photo album - easily. I promise to get back to writing. However, there’s no way to fill you in on ALL that happened in the Midwest. Our best bet - el fotographs! lol
MINNEAPOLIS in technicolor… Part Uno
No One Left Behind
While still in Ann Arbor we watched Where in the World is Osama bin Laden? (done by the same dude that did Supersize Me.) It was really well done and I made a mental note: “Reel to Real Talk (link) has to see this!” Get it through your Netflix or Blockbuster subscription!
We [...]
I’m not Homeless, I’m Just Roughing it!
Yeah… That was Huey’s hair-brained description of my outfits these days: “I’m not Homeless, I’m Just Roughing it!” Of course, she wanted to turn it into a t-shirt slogan.. .
Seriously, I walk off the bus some days, look down at my clothes and think, “Goodness, if anyone saw me like this at home, [...]
“Water No Get Enemy” AKA Get to Work!
We decided to continue on to Detroit with Sugarcube skipping first gear. With a plan to have her worked on as soon as we got to Detroit, we opted not to cancel that show. On our way, we read STITCHED squares.
*Slight sidenote: [For those who are unfamiliar with STITCHED, it is a project Naima and [...]
The Tipping Pointizzle
Okay. So I’m in Chicago. Sitting at my aunt’s house (whom I have only met once before this at my high school reunion 11 years ago). I am taking a break from my HURRICANE SEASON homies. I have two blogs between this one and the last one that covers what has been happening on the [...]
A GROWN MAN CRYING IN PUBLIC
FIRST OFF: Love, love, love to: rolando, jennifer, sparlha, tyrone, ayinde, jamel, atiba, cj, jullien, julia, caitlin, and kelli for reaching out!
Cincinnati continued…
HURRICANE SEASON is a pretty hi-tech multi-media piece. It has visual collages, and audio testimonials interspersed with Climbing PoeTree’s poems, full-bodied Cat’s Cradle, and stick dancing. It’s all perfectly timed. And when/if there are any technical difficulties, it is extremely difficult to hold up [...]
I (HEART) MY HATERS
Naima (aka Mama Lou) and Alixa (aka Tetris) are extraordinary women.
Background:
I met Naima and Alixa at the African Arts Festival after having seen them briefly on a BET commercial. Kahlil Almustafa introduced me and he apparently had MAD respect for them. Then I would see them at various events throughout the city. [...]
A WOMAN COVERED IN GREASE - IT’S SO HOT!
We are on our way to Pittsburgh… no wait! We are swerving our way to Pittsburgh, and it is evident that unless we figure out Sugarcube’s problem, we’re going to kill ourselves and others on the highway. So we stop at Blue Mountain Travel Lodge - complete with a Roy Rodgers and an ice cream [...]
Lips chapped, mouth dry, and definitely not dressed for “world changing”
First and foremost, shouts out to those who have read my e-mail and/or blog and responded with a text, e-mail, or phone call. It truly means a lot to know folks are thinking about me and sending me such love. And specifically: regine, cinnabar, sparlha, rachel, jullien, tyrone, george, trevor, jamilah, ashley, raquel, [...]
FOLLOW THE YELLOW LIGHTS, AND VEER TO YOUR RIGHT!
For those of you who don’t know, I went to boarding school in … M-I-crooked letter crooked letter-I-crooked letter crooked letter-I-hump back hump back-I, back in 1993 when it was called Piney Woods Country Life School and had approximately 300 hormonal teenage boys and girls. To go back and forth for summers and winter [...]
