Album Drop 2017

thanks to my brother and friends who are about to make this presentation and demonstration possible.

nosy neighbors

these fools.
got my yard done because I got a city citation for it being overgrown in the front.  REALLY city, can you pay attention to the drug epidemic and not this handicap person who struggles to just go to work and do good in the world and even on a good day HATES OUTSIDE.

fine, got the work done, cool.

apparently the worker who did a great job, cut down some random plant in the alley that they planted.  so the female neighbor hears me get out of my car and starts crying.  CRYING about i must hate them and brought up two months ago when my 80 year old uncle threatened to kill their cats etc.

my uncle threatens to kill everyone and everything,  and he is 80 he can get away with that.  how is she intimidated by this old dude.  but whatev

this woman is crying about my uncle from something he said in first week of july, her animal kingdom and wild life in tact.  she is like ummm we think you hate us.

heifer.

I almost died this summer.  been sick for a long time.  my mama died and I am trying to help folks.  you think i have time for you.  I DONT EVER THINK about you.  EXCEPT right now when you are crying about some plants and your animals that come in my yard all the time and I allow that ish.

She was like OHHHH we didnt know.  its none of your business.

then her HUSBAND thought it was a real nice to comment on my body "OH you lost a lot of weight"  me: well i almost died and my FAT saved my life.
Husband: oh well I have to go to work.

yeah, get out of my face with that bullshit.

i offered to compensate them for those weeds in the alley, they declined based on the fact that DEATH lives next door.

maybe they think its contagious.

scar tissue that I didnt even see

The folks who draw blood, and there is a name for it...
this one was noticing I had a lot of scar tissue around a vein.  the one they like to use on repeat esp. when in the hospital.

I was shocked because I didnt know that was something that could happen.

note to self, hospital scars take a long time.  physical and mental.  to heal.

body image cartoon that resonated

body image and being sick
has been a big thing for me.


this cartoon panel hits it with the obsession of bodies in the US


Im gonna eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich now

"Last Night a DJ saved my life"

Singing with my sophomores was not just a good time, it reminded me the most of my former self.  The self that is silly and vain and performance Driven.

I dont have my full vocal range back from the lung issues, but I also dont practice enough.

But DIVA night with my STEP group made my day and we crushed it.

healing hands of friendships

There is the spiritual laying of hands, that im down for and connected to with my Lord.  Thanks big G.

However, there is something so cosmic about human connection that allows for that metaphysical healing that comes from real friendship and talking about everything and nothing.

I love discussing how to change the world, but you have to make room to talk about peeing yourself at a 5k running, periods, panties, families, dogs, the kids, bananas, wine and whine.

this investment is what allows for us to be sustained.  you cannot live on bread alone.  Amen.

I didnt even recognize you.... thats not a compliment

it's already bad enough I dont recognize myself in the mirror most times, what I dont need is one more person saying home different I look.  Keep that shit to yourself.

again, the more I move through this world handicapped I can see the short sitedness of others and I just make them feel awful giving no f*cks

ohm thanks, well I almost died this year.
uh huh
yeah
big body saved me

as I prepare for my doctors appt Monday, Im in the fight for my life, do you really think Im gonna care about your feelings when you open your mouth with foolishness.
