how i'm doing
I feel a sense of accomplishment. I set personal goals for myself and I have been meeting them. It's a wonderful feeling. I have this sense of balance that wasn't there two weeks ago. All of a sudden, everything is starting to fit. I can get used to this.
I enjoyed my weekend and my time off and tomorrow I return to the world of work with a new attitude. I'm sure my employer will appreciate it.
I went shopping at the outlets tonight and only spent $50. I'm proud. I bought two bras (much needed) and a purse. Go me.
brown sugar baby
I went to see brown sugar this weekend. Anything I could have said about it has already been said by Jason and those participating in the discussion in his comments. Basically it was a good movie with good actors playing parts they have played before. Mos Def stole the show and I offically elect him as my new baby daddy. Erykah Badu's video for her song on the soundtrack is off the chain, especially the part when she raps with MC Lyte. I've always liked listening to Erykah rhyme. She did it on the Lyricists Lounge Show before.
a new layout
And so this is a new layout. I took a picture of myself with my camera and fell in love with both the reflection of me and the way the picture came out so I just had to use it in a layout. There you have it. I designed it in my 1024x768 resolution browser (IE 6.0). My apologies anyone who uses anything else (netscape/mozilla) because presently I cannot be bothered to fix it to look good for everyone. The permalinks for the entries are in the titles. Any other questions or concerns let me know.
How was your weekend?
Nique, this is the tightest ish. That pic - perfect.
I was at my girl's house for a minute and I had to hijack their cable to watch some videos. I saw Ms Badu's video and it's so on hit. Frame fronts & all.
Hey Mo. Nice redesign. I love that picture of you. :)
I'm glad that you've been accomplishing your goals. Me, too...on a small scale. Either way it feels good.
And yeah...that part where Erykah wraps with MC Lyte is the hotness. :)
love the new look. the pic looks like you're about ready to say somethin'...and a glance to the right shows that you have. too cool. :)
i nearly fell off the sofa when i first saw mc lyte in that video. love her, love ms. badu, love them together...love the whole thing.
very nice, kid.
even if you do make me have to load up the IE.
Thanks you guys! I am viewing it at work in IE5.5 and it looks even better than it looks on my browser at home. woo hoo.
that e badu song has been on my mind all day today.
Oh - Monique this new layout is the hotness ... Good Lawd! Oh yeah -- I feel you on that e. badu video - I've been in love with erykah badu since I saw her in that D'Angelo video "Lady."
