Living on Island Free

This morning I awoke to the ocean breeze on an island that I have named "Island Free".

When I sat up to look out and think about this new day it was so easy, everything seemed so clear. For a moment, I thought it was all wrong and I asked myself, "How did I get here...here to this place of such peace?" Then I realized, it's because I stopped. I stopped expecting people's emotions and actions. When I stopped expecting people to do something that I wanted them to do, it all became easier. You can't disappoint me when I never placed my hope there. Sure I'd like for people's actions and emotions to be the way I desire, but I will still be okay if it doesn't happen that way. And when a person does say something or do something that I like or makes me smile or makes me feel special or makes a decision in my favor, I know that it is a moment...a moment that I will forever own. You cannot hope in people or hope for people; you can only hope to people so as to transfer this intangible force so one will see the simple joy in life-pleasing one's self. So what makes up you? I know what makes up me. This is why I'm so calm. This is why I'm so at peace. This is why I do what I like, do what I want, live my faith and give my way. I'm having fun because in the end, it's just me who stands...just me alone and my hope is within me and that alone makes me so free. This kind of peace becomes so eerie sometimes but its such a great feeling to always lively live on Island Free.

'Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.
The way you cope with it is what makes the difference.'

Curse Words

Sometimes I just have to curse. Of course I have a mediocre lexicon that would sanction me to demean a situation intellectually or express my sentiments about a situation in lucid words to show my disdain, but then the person would be bewildered about what exactly I said and would fail to understand my true emotion.

"Live in the moment; that's all you have. The next second will make it [the moment] just a memory."

He rewrites

Now that was mystical…
I was just doing my thing
And when I looked down
God changed my words
I wanted to say it one way
And thought I did
Until I read it again
God said what He wanted to say

I once said all I do is listen; He writes.
But now I see, sometimes...he rewrites it all for me.
Because I don't hear it right to write it right.

STEP

You see I only understand
chivalry and actions
We talking ‘bout the old school gentleman
That’s what I’m really really after
Words are words that don’t mean shit
My bones may break by sticks and stones
You can say whatever you feel
Or even say what you want

But ya gotta…
Step up, step in
Or step out my life
Cuz yo ways are lame
And just won’t suffice

Yeah, I take care of me
I work hard day and night don’t you see
Cuz I was raised powerful
To be a wife and not some random ass ho
Step yo game up if you coming out to play
And I’m not talking ‘bout paying to play
I need an even stronger man
Who backs his words with his actions

you gotta…
Step up, step in
Or step out my life
Cuz yo ways are lame
And just won’t suffice

I’m a lust life kinda girl
Curious and risky
Each day –
my own adventure
But I love the simple things much more
That’s why I need you to take action
And if you don’t, farewell
I’ll just keep stepping with my life

Step up, step in, or step out
Step up, step in, or step out
Step up, step in, or step out

Step up, step in
Or step out my life
Cuz yo ways are lame
……
And just won’t suffice

"I'm a young Monte Carlo, I don't risk the "what if's" so I simulate the possibilities of the positivities."

State of the ACE

Politically Correct for my Daddy

In this world, there is no time for you to waste on nonsense. One must be able to evaluate a situation in order to determine when it does not constitute the energy to engage in an activity. For this very reason, I have perfected nonchalance as an integral part of my aura. My only concern in every moment and in every action is to maintain my state of happiness and alternate the métier that I choose to excel in at the moment. When blended together, I do a great job of achieving them all. In the event, you actually expect me to be moved by your venom filled actions then realize that I am both covered and blessed; your negative vibes do not effect the fact that I am indeed successful anywhere in the Universe.

How I Really Want you to Read it

There's no time for bullshit...that's why it is never that serious...you folks gotta realize that nonchalance really is my steelo...all I'm really concerned about is being in my métier of choice today and maintaining my happiness which I do a damn good job of! If you looking for me to be moved by your actions, think again pimpin! What you try to do to destroy me has no effect on me...it's just fuel to my fire because I have success wherever my presence dwells...just ask my shadow it always follows me...lol

I'm outta here!

Only Speaking Action

Listen I need no formalities, no greetings, no courtesy convo, and no space fillers because of awkward moments. Just give it to me straight and say what you want from the jump. Don't shoot a text with "what's up" and don't make useless calls full of dead air. I am not going to respond at all because I'm done wasting time with the fomarlities. So if you can't come with some realness don't come at all; it would all be useless on your part.


I've known you for too long for the extra stuff. I'm not that random chick from around the way; I'm grown and I'm a lady. Show me what you want from me because it is apparent to me that we don't want the same things. So for you to be sending me messages just to try to keep your face on my mind it is just pointless. I have already made up my mind that there are only two things you can do and these forms of courtesy conversation just ain't the way to get me to talk to you.


Call me selfish, but if you are with her then we have nothing to talk about / Call it my Leo nature, but we as a people would rather give something away then share it. That is why we're so generous at the same time. So if you are truly happy where you are then I have to let you go / Call it my spoiled nature, but I'm the baby girl and I want it my way; that is why I'm Daddy's girl / Call it what ever you like but love is love and that is it.

So you can call me all you like, text me all you want, email me here and there...but there are only two things you can do that will result in actual conversation from me and neither one of those is it. Call it a cliché pimpin' but "actions do speak louder than words" and all I'm speaking now is action.

Haha..yeah action is the only communication that my mind comprehends now because I'm selfish with my speech....

Peace

"Have peace my friend; you will need it in order to love."

Everywhere but No Where

"This jot is everywhere, but I am no where living lies."

This may very well have been my laziest month I have ever had in my life. What I consider lazy people would actually not be able to make it through one day. But I needed this break. I was on the grind for so long that once I accomplished my goal I realized how weakened and drained I was. I just wanted to breath and take in the feeling of accomplishment. I’ve been going hard for too many years. So what have I been doing…I’ve been letting the rain drown me and my body has bonded with the Earth. As a result, I have so much to write. There has been a lot to ponder. There is a lot that I still cannot even make out in my head so I know I can't even make sense of it on paper. However, I stay with Nature; so that I can stay clear and the ink will show on portrait.

QUESTION

This jot is no poem just some answers and insight for the world. I’m going to address the questions I’ve received from those who read the things that I write. Questions like, “Are you okay? Why do you want people to know what you think? I think you are trying to find yourself.” and a host of other questions that make me perceive the person’s motives as uncertain because they have no clue whether or not I am borderline insane or crazy. But rest at ease…for me to be this deep it scares the average person and they can only label me as insane or needing help. My response: “Don’t read my words to figure out my soul and who I am. I am only I am."

ANSWER

People experience multiple emotions over the course of the day. I truly believe we have emotions that the English language has no word to yet express it.

I write what is in the atmosphere. I write what comes into my space. I build on the emotions that are in the universe. Every jot I write, builds from something my senses catch a hold to that break into my subconscious giving my conscious the drive to sit still and capture. When I first started this blog I said, “I listen and He writes.”

www.ACEjaunty.com: When actually all along happiness is merely acknowledging to yourself that you are indeed happy
www.ACEjaunty.com: It's a concious act to claim happiness
www.ACEjaunty.com: If you don't claim happiness you will spend the rest of the time counting what you don't have

Staff of Silence

I don’t need a beat for my words to live. I’ll flow on the staff of silence breaking through the cords cuz my vocal is enough. I have no lies to tell and no fairy tales of my life. I can’t ever say I had the “normal” life because I have no other comparisons.

I just want to tell my truths. I just want to inspire. I just want to educate. I just want to help focus. I am the same day after day; but day after day changes for me. For you to know my struggle between my spirit and my self would make you wonder why I don’t let my spirit live and just kill my self myself. But eventually my self will be killed and my spirit will live on. Meanwhile, I’ll just flow on the staff of silence.

I was always taught to listen, watch and learn, and don’t say shit. But instead when it counted I didn’t listen, I was the show to watch and I never said shit because that would at least keep a lil bit of attention off me. So now when you don’t see me on the dance floor, I’m facing the door sipping a short glass of Private Stock or Firefly. That’s the only constant between my self and my spirit is my staff of silence. When I do speak—believe me, it is intentional because I’m not in a position where I have to speak to everybody. And most would say I’m bipolar on a given day I may be all smiles and then with my shades on there is a coldness that even a polar bear can’t handle.

I don’t listen, I experience life. Because I didn’t listen I was sick from something I could have avoided. Because I didn’t listen, I have habits I can’t let go of. Because I didn’t listen I still drive when I’m over the limit…speed and spirits. ‘Cause I don’t listen I still do it my way. ‘Cause I didn’t listen I still don’t make use of the barriers. ‘Cause I don’t listen I’ll lose it all and gain more than I ever thought I needed. Cause I didn’t listen I’ll pay for doing the same sins again and again. But I’m just talking over a staff of silence and this will probably just deafen ears and the only ones who’ll hear me will be deaf.

But I’m a functioning story of working through the pain, working through sin, working through the struggle, working through the closed doors, working through the failure, working my way to Heaven….you’ll never hear me say ‘woe is me’ because I don’t weep for longer than a minute. I’m painting my real life and folk still see it as a fairy tale. They even call my career imaginary…haha, friends even nickname me Tommie…

That’s why I’m so deep b/c I don’t say nada…always thinking, always twisting my thoughts on the cerebral rollercoaster just trying to work through…always just vibin’ to the randomness in natural sounds. Silence is good for me; I tend to hold my peace. What you see is not what you get. The best interpretations are through reflections on the staff of silence.

Unleashed

From my actions can you tell that I was in a ruthless state? I’m not living a double life; I’m just letting this animal out unleashed. This is the normal internal struggle that is occurring between spirit and self. Calling this state normal almost feels like an oxymoron. At some second of the day every one of us faces the internal struggle about making a decision. How do you not make the rebellious decision? And if by choice you make that decision then what keeps you from total destruction? These thoughts entered my mind after I made the rebellious decision in that second on last Saturday.

I’m not going to tell you what the action was, I just want you to picture the moment when you allowed that animal out unleashed…that moment when you didn’t want to think about your actions because an event occurred that resulted in a state of mind mixed with hurt and laced with revenge. So do you have that moment in your mind? Okay good, because that’s exactly what I did too! You see in reality we don’t want to face the fact that we are hurt instead we would just rather not think about it because it pains our emotion state. Instead we will mask our emotions by letting the animal out unleashed.

I Don't Want to Get Negative Today

AHHHHH!!!! The MADNESS!!!
Just stay away from me with the foolery
Don't even think about coming to the lair
Because the house alarm says Stay Away
Machete by the bed sees shadows
And the 45 has no eyes
Singing stay away
'Cause I don't want to get negative today

I'm a positive person
No welcome signs for stupidity
I am not open for business
Not open to schemes
Not feeling the unhealthy shit
Coming from your spirit
Take a cleanser, clear your mind
Because my intakes of healthy shit
Results in a healthy shit

Can you feel my vibe
Can you hear my wave
Gotta stay in a positive state of mind
Pushing me to the edge constitutes
Possible 6-6-6 destruction
With a siren institution
Coming to the rescue
Of a situation caused by your cynical actions
Check yo' self at the front
Don't come in here
With a foolery state of mind
And your mess trying to pull on me
I ain't wit' it
I ain't wit' it
Get on wit' it

Singing stay away
'Cause I don't want to get negative today

Wonder why we don't talk
Wonder why we can't hang
Wonder why you are out of my circle
Take it to Mama, get your ducks in row
Shout quack, quack but don't ya dare cry wolf
Tryin to help you save your own self
From predictable destruction
Tryin to help you save your own self
From my personal daggers
Giving me immunity
And security
Over my space
Over my soul
Over my life

Singing stay away
'Cause I don't want to get negative today

A.T.M. (Attention To Me)

You got my going through withdrawal
Wanting you near me right now
Recalling the love chills that run through my veins just being near you
Reminiscing about the way your hands feel running all over my body
And the way your lips touch my lips

and the way my name sounds like a sweet melody
When you call me near

...but I need a 24/7 tip

Baby would you be my bank?
I need to get a loan
In need of 100 kisses and 50 hugs
With unlimited deposits
With free attention to me, calling you my ATM

Ooooo yes baby right there

Don’t worry baby
You know my credit history
And you know I’m good for it
I’ll pay my i-owe-you’s in full
I’ll even add interest times two
Giving you 200 kisses and 100 hugs
Just grant me this loan
Because you’re the only one that I can trust

The only one that I can bank on

Ooooo yes baby right there

And you know this is a great investment
An opportunity that doesn’t come around again
We’re talking more worthy than gems, diamonds, and precious metals
This is a priceless love venture
Love that even the Rule of 72 can’t explain
But I don’t have to talk baby
Because the assets...

they speak for themselves

Ooooo yes baby right there

Baby would you be my bank?
I need to get a loan
In need of 100 kisses and 50 hugs
With unlimited deposits
And free attention to me, calling you my ATM

Ooooo yes baby right there

My baby, I've been with you for years
And I'm not changing
I'm more than comfortable
With my amenities
I just need this special loan
'Cause we've been apart for far too long
I'm on a love spree venture right now
And I need a love loan

Baby would you be my bank?
I need to get a loan
In need of 100 kisses and 50 hugs
With unlimited deposits, mmh!
And free attention to me, calling you my ATM

Ooooo yes baby right there

(yall have got to hear the audio to this...coming soon)

THROWBACK: My Story ©2003

My Story

Can’t stop the fight
Must continue the struggle
I was born to fight
My inner strength is too strong
Can’t stop the fight
I’m in too deep
Without the fight
The victory wouldn’t be as nice
The lessons not valued as much
The memories as fond
Can’t stop the fight
I’m too far
I won’t lie down
I won’t let up
Pushing forward
Step by step
Word by word
Pulse by pulse
Can’t stop the fight
It’s running through
My blood to my feet
Out through my lips
And pouring from my fingertips
Born a fighter, destined to win
Victory is mine
Justice will be served
The truth will be heard
The innocent shall be set free
Can’t stop the fight
Right overrules wrong
The guilty shall be punished
And fools shall be discovered
Stumbling back will occur
Tears may fall
And bridges may be ruined
But that won’t stop me
I won’t let it
Giving my all
Showing my light
Rising above
Guided by God
I will always
I will never
I won’t
Can’t stop
-----the fight.

I am never alone

[performed at my first Spoken Word segment in of all places church (St. Paul Missionary Baptist Church on 5/24/2009]

Seems like I’m always crying because I’m alone
Seems like I can never have the one that I want
Just when I thought it would all be better to know who would be my own
That’s when the tears got worse
Because I can’t have him in my own time
Oh God, it hurts so bad
Why’d you have to tell me
I know I asked, but I really didn’t wanna know
Now I know and I can’t have him
I know and I can’t be with him
I know and I can’t check my emotions
I know I can’t live alone
I know I don’t want to be by myself anymore
I know that no other man will do
Everyone around me’s getting married and having kids
And no me because I’m all alolne
God, I’m tired of living on my own
I’m tired of doing it on my own
God why’d you tell me when you knew I couldn’t have him
God why’d you show me when you knew it wasn’t time
God why do I have to deal this and no one else knows
Why can’t you give him the words to tell me from his lips that he know what you showed me
God I can’t do this alone anymore
I’m strong, but I am too weak
God I know what you want me to do
But it’d seem so much easier if I truly had him behind me
God I can’t take it anymore; please take away my emptiness
I can’t be by myself;
I can’t sleep by myself anymore
I know I can’t;
I’m just looking up for you to help me God
I need you;
I need you God to help me grow up and grow out
Because it is your work that I need to be doing
I this now because you haven’t given me my mate
There’s more that you have to change in me
There’s more that I have to LET YOU change in me
To prepare me for the next stage of my life
God if I trusted you to tell me my mate
I have to trust you with my wait
I’m trusting you with my emotions, my steps and my decisions
By giving you total control over my house
I know I’m not what I used to be
But I’m getting to where you need me to be
I know you are here in me
Because the state I’m in now is different than before
I’m living with you God
I know I have to focus on one life
And I’m aligning my life with you to make it one
Through my tears and my weakness
My God, you are my strength
And with time,
Just in time
I know you will give me all that I need and desire
Because with you I am never alone
I am NEVER alone

"I'm beginning to see happiness as a contagious cure."

You Say No Purpose; I Say You Chose Death

Work with me now
While I try to find a way to write this so folk can understand how I feel
The world will continue without me and go on without you
But while we here, why suffer?
Some told me they were a mistake
While others said they had no purpose
And several screamed, "I wish I was never born!"
My logic is you have nothing else to compare your life here on Earth to
I mean seriously, it's not like you've lived on Saturn
Or in another Galaxy where the creatures were dissimilar to Earthlings
And you can't choose another person's life for comparison
Because yall didn't start walking in the same spot
So what makes your statement valid in the sense of "I don't want my life"?
And if in fact you are the one who has this negative thought flow
Let me ask you, are you ready for death?
Are you ready to die a painful, excruciating, unthinkable death?
Are you ready for your body to lose life while your soul watches your friends and family
weep and sob over having lost you?
Apparently causing pain and sorrow is something you want
Then to those who actually have the audacity to love someone like yourself
Who in actuality hates life is a waste of love
If so, then go ahead and die
It's not like we possess technological methods allowing us to communicate with ancient residents of Earth
So who is to say that death is better?
You betta be concerned about life and lively living
So if you are fed up with your life, change it!!
Why suffer when you have control over your actions?
Why stay stuck in being miserable?
Of course you could always...just die

But how can you be certain that death is better?
What if everything you heard about Hell is true?
Because if you end your own life, it's not like you have time to repent real quick
*laughs*
Imagine suffering by yourself
Feeling all life drain from your body
As cold passes over every limb and remains there
Imagine feeling your blood stop flowing
And your mind loses control over your body
Because your mind races over all the failed attempts you had to make a change
Attempts that don't end in you taking your own life
Attempts that you could have been a positive PURPOSE filled presence on Earth
Then your breath shortens to desperate gasps for...oh guess what...LIFE
But then it's too late
As your body is motionless losing life and everything grows dark around you
Then you hear a person from far away
Who is really within inches of your now limp, cold body
Screams of such a deep, piercing agony you hear your name over and over again
Your hearing is going but you can't help but to hear the deep sorrow of this person
As they are shaking and holding your body and you are steadily slipping into darkness
Then you feel the wetness of their tears splash down onto your face
Your voice no longer works because death has taken it away
And your face can no longer express emotions only your heart
Which the person can't even see because
Your dark, blank stare serves as no comfort to this person who is crying over you
But your heart gets so heavy and saddened and it is too late
You took your own life
You took it away by not doing anything
You took it away by willingly choosing your own suicide
And you thought you had no person
But the person holding you screaming your name over and over again
Then screaming for help
Saw your purpose all along
But you just chose death
You saw a suicide death as your purpose
But that person saw more
And it is now too late

I AM only I AM

How would you describe evidence of things that just go right and work?

The solitude and best answer would simply be “success”.

That is what everybody keeps saying my life is. But I don’t see it that way at all. The only thing I do is just live. I know what I don’t want to do, I know what I don’t want to have, I know where I don’t want to be, and I know what I don’t believe in. I have no single thing I want to do, I have a massive collection of things that I want to do and I have no clue about exactly where I am going. I know that I want to do it all and I know who I am.

• I am confident when I know the subject at hand and self-conscious when I am in an environment I never knew, but I am confident in knowing how to engage myself in learning new things.


• I am adventurous in trying all types of activities in a variety of scenarios and I am afraid I’ll embarrass myself by failing horribly making people laugh and stare at me, but I push myself to do it anyway so I’ll know what it feels like to try something new.
  
• I am smart because I know how to apply myself and found the avenues to cultivate my brain, but I don’t know a lot about any one thing and I don’t consider myself intelligent only creative.
• I am slightly arrogant which makes my walk look stank and my persona seem unapproachable when I don’t smile but I’m that way because I’m afraid if I don’t someone will hurt me emotionally or invade my space without an open invitation.
  
• I am attractive with a jaunty flair that pulls visual attention, but I hate when people gawk because it makes me self-conscious and it makes me nervous that something may be wrong with my outfit.
• I am a gadabout who is addicted to traveling for cultural exploration and simply getting away from home but I do it more because there is no one at my home and when I’m not relaxing or mind searching I don’t want to be there.
  
• I am happy with every experience and memory because I don't regret anything that has ever happened to me good or bad, but I do cry when I get overwhelmed with emotions of confusion, loneliness, and sadness; it never solves anything but it makes me feel better.
  
• I am nice because I believe in karma and I want people to be nice to me, but I am not always in the mood to talk to everybody.
• I am talented in a variety of areas and can have my choice in doing any number of careers, but I don't love any of my talents.
  
• I am gifted in writing and designing but I give neither one exclusivity because I am afraid of what might not happen.
  
• I am loving in all types of relationships because I value people, but the lasting love God has buried in my soul longs for my mate.
  
• I am patient, after not being able to rush anything, it has made me start taking my time, but I fear time will not tick in my favor.
  
• I am spiritual in knowing there is an omnipresent Creator and the Bible serves as a great guide for life, but I am not religious.
  
• I am free in spirit, in soul, in life, in nature and in me which people term "deep" but I see it as not having tunnel vision and looking beyond what I can only touch.

I am only looking at who I am; I am not looking at the exceptions to what I am. I always try to jump into me. I am special; I am human; and I am only I am.

Somebody tried to jock my jaunty!!!

My first immediate reaction was a laugh and a verbal “OH HELL NAW!!!” Yall, somebody tried to jock my jaunty. I already tried to tell you that this is a creative genius at work. So when you try to edit my words with the intent that it will “sound better”…it can’t be done. I’ve lived my writings; they are from my soul and life experiences. If you not living it and if you didn’t live it, you can’t describe it the way I can….I’m telling you that you can’t jock my jaunty!!

Okay folks, so here’s the situation. This morning, I decided to google “romance is redundant” because I’m just random like that. I wanted to know what other site or person had my same thought. Lo’ and behol’ I find a site that says “PARADIGM OF PARODIES: PLEASURE, PERIL AND PEACE: ROMANCE IS REDUNDANT”. I’m immediately like what the hell?!?! Somebody likes my work this much and they listed it?! Then I click on the link and see some deformed garbage of what I wrote and I had to laugh with the verbal “OH HELL NAW!!!” Upon my findings, I immediately notified the individual that my words are copyrighted and all the legal jargon. Not only was it my writing, but the person had stolen other people’s writings. So I took it a step further (yes I’m a pusher of the envelope) and notified the original authors of the works that their writings had been distorted into some nonsense. Jokes on you killa!

But the situation is this: “how can you attempt to recreate MY logic, MY life, MY story and you haven’t done anything remotely similar?” Now everyone can definitely relate and understand my logic but nobody can explain it the way that I do. I’m not ego driven; I’m just saying there is power in MY words and you can’t make a replica of the character and individuality that exists in me because we are all dissimilar as a people.

So I’m calling you out. If you gonna do something, do your own style with your own flair. It is dangerous ground when you portray to be something that you are not or have never been. Go out and get your own state of mind and stop TRYING to emulate others.

I’m feeling real Juggernaut-ish right now, “Do you not know who I am???? I’m ACE Jaunty™ *****!!!!” There is no way that you can jock my jaunty!

I'm The Juggernaut, Bitch!

Romance is Redundant

The title automatically sounds negative, but in reality let’s think about the statement for a minute. Redundant is performing an act unnecessarily repetitively and romance is to court or woo as in the aspect of love. This being the case, when romantic acts are constantly done it is redundant. One does not HAVE to be romantic; one chooses to be romantic with another individual (so we hope…no telling these days). Anyway, some people even hate romance and claim it to be an insane and unnecessary act. Einstein once said, “Insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results.” I could never agree that love is insane because it just seems reasonable [sane] to me. If we invert Einstein’s definition we find the definition of sanity to mean “doing different things and expecting the same results.” Almost like taking a different route home everyday but still ending up at home. Romantic acts are never always the same, they are often different [or varied], but once you perform the act(s) you expect the same results which are appreciation from the one you adore and letting your love be known. Both of which are important to any stage of a love relationship. So because romance is redundant, you have to continually do it over and over again.
It keeps love fresh and exciting.
It keeps love growing.
It keeps love strong.
It keeps the love between two persons.
It keeps love from getting boring.
It keeps love fun.
It keeps love.
Growing up, I can remember countless times from my parents telling me things like “How many times do I have to tell you?!” or “I better not have to tell you again or I’m going to get my belt!!!!” It wasn’t that I was being disobedient (okay, maybe sometimes I was) but MOST OFTEN, I did forget that I was supposed to be doing something because I was getting carried away with the things that I wanted to do. I needed those shrilling screams and threats of getting a whooping to remember. Think of romance similarly as that situation. Not the threats and whooping part, but the part of forgetting. Yes, you know you love the person and the other person knows you love him/her but reminders are necessary. Sometimes, we get so busy in life and we forget to tell [or show] the one person we choose to share our life with our love …hence, ROMANCE. If we remember that romance is redundant and actively engage in romantic acts with our significant other, we make love important and refreshing. ♥

What's your Goal Priority?

After I saw my uncle doing a wild jig that resulted in him throwing spirit fingers in the air over his head while jerking his head to and forth and alternatively lifting his legs similar to a leg raise exercise, I am positively without a shadow of a doubt know he called this dancing because he was all smiles and working up a tremendous sweat. Because of that dance, I cannot listen to Beyonce’s “Single Ladies” without doubling over and laughing until tears come because after 2 months the image of my uncle is still so clear in my head. But now, oh now, I have to steal a line that is no laughing matter…”if you liked it, then you shoulda put a ring on it.” Are you really gonna let it get that far that the past tense on this line becomes fruition? I gotta tell ya, definitions can help clear up a great deal of confusion. Patience is a virtue, BUT if you snooze…you can actually lose.

You see I totally understand working towards goals…personal, life, career, etc. But if you want to include someone else in any phase of any of these goals then at some point it is important to let that someone know the plan and the layout of goal priority. It’s only fair that these things get discussed. This way at least the two of you can align goal priority and it is not just one sided.

Let’s talk about GOAL PRIORITY because I believe in lasting love.

"God planted the seed, now I'm seeing trees outside my window"

In Real Time

Poetically I write in undertones
Because I think everyone should be thought provoked
Casually I verbalize in mystic rhyme or silence
Because I don’t want folk knowing that much about me
In business, I speak directly
Because it is necessary for you to understand my vision
So let it be known that you get more out of me
Through writing then vocal verbalization
Especially when I’m on center stage
The less I say verbally, the less I can be held accountable for
All that I say on paper, I will support and defend in a court
And if you are ever in question…
Ask the privy few from my family and friends
I don’t have a poker face
It is all in real time

Behind the Wheel

Take the driver's seat

You don't need to ride shotgun anymore

Make you experience life firsthand
Often it is when you break acceptance standards and find yourself as the exception
That you find life in yourself that makes living life come alive
Our culture has widened the gray area between right and wrong
To call it politics but I like to call variance of cultural acceptance
It all makes him appear weird and wired
Made her reticent about her thoughts because of her profound perspective
Forget the area and keep the bold line separating
Right and wrong translating it to good and evil
Eyesight or not; you can see that the concept is universal
We are good with being the exception
Because we flew by your acceptance standards
And it saved us
Because our actions are fueled from within our soul

Yes Jah Oui Si Ya!

Everywhere I am You are
All that I am is because of You
All that I have is from You
All that I give comes from that which You have given to me
Yes, I am excited to shout

No matter the culture, the language, or people

Even when I am knowingly wrong
And don’t deserve favor
You are there still blessing me

Then I learn more
Then I do more
Then I see more

It’s all positive influence

So we all can say
yes jah oui si ya!
Yes Jah, we see You

Waking up

You ever wake up to the sound of the wind blowing away the dew of the grass? Ever just sit up in bed, gaze out the window just looking at the sweet milky blue scene painted over the houses as the earth turns toward the sun?

It’s one of the most relaxing calms that spare emotions and nothingness matters except the trancelike state you enter as your mind drifts and the blankets and pillows on the bed are the most comfy.

And if you lay there for just a few minutes while the morning breeze graces through the room from the open window, instead of dreading the tasks of the day just relax and be thankful. You had the opportunity to open your eyes and see the light of the day, to feel the warmth of blankets and a gentle breeze, to hear the wind sweep the Earth and rustle nature, to smell the sweet crispness of morning air, and the anticipation to taste peppermint toothpaste and mouthwash. :-)

Sometimes, it is enough to just wake up.

Because it affirms there is purpose in your life.

Not of my heart, but of my soul

It’s hard to live from the soul’s verity. I’m tired of living my life lead by my soul. Seems when I do, it just doesn’t happen the way my soul said. I don’t want to think about my actions anymore. I wanna live . I wanna be high. Don’t wanna analyze. Don’t wanna think about how I feel. I just wanna live and do what feels good. I’m at a point of not wanting to wait. I wanna do it my way and my way doesn’t work. I feel like I’ve been patient long enough and I still can’t have who I want. I don’t want the world I want him.

Tune In

I'm tuning in everyday and things are clear
No static, no reruns, no pause for testing
This is no drill, there is no emergency
This is my life
So I point my antennae north
Cause that's how I get such a clear signal
There may be digital, satellite, and cable
But there's no reception like the north direction
Now my guide plays all the good shows
There's always rave reviews
No horror or mystery though
Just comedy, romance, and acceptable drama

Can you be Motivated by Awe?

Looking on the outside in
I can’t help but say I’d ask
Who is that?
I’m in that Who’s Who game
And I’m not even in the book
I don’t have to fill out the application
Cuz folk always seem to wonder about me
And I don’t need for someone to know me
My actions make people want to know about me
Who is that?
She comes off so easy
She’s so naturally sweet
Maybe it’s the country charm
But she has that Black Woman bite
That often effects like a black widow’s poison

But I’m just me
I’m not trying to impress yall at all
I’m just talking to you like we’re old friends
Like how I reach Star status and not even know it
How I’m still living and they call me a legend
How I’m only 25 and I’m wise beyond years
How I get an ovation and I never stood up
I’m no longer fine and okay nor am I just making it
I’m looking back and now it’s I’m amazingly favored
Cuz I was a legend at birth when I could breath
And a cord was wrapped around my neck
I was a legend at 5 when I could for tell the future
And spirits sat around me while I slept then talked to me in my dreams
I was a legend at 7 when I was forced to play piano
And I personified my personal creation of the art
And practice to me was careless folly
I was a legend at 11 when I had a reading addiction
And I read over 400 books in less than a year
I was a legend at 13 when I became published
And wrote and directed my own sitcom,
Got my first short story published,
Did spoken word on a stage in front of hundreds
And started televised public speaking on a daily basis
Fast forward through high school cause I got too much legend shit
That marvels its own page
Even at 21 I was a legend cause it took me 3 years to get an engineering degree
Then I turned around got accepted into law school twice and turned both Deans down and please believe I never paid a dime for an education
I stay looking for free Government money
Trying to keep my forced tax dollars coming back to me
Life ain’t for the fainthearted
Life is for the courageous
So I know courage is somewhere in your spirit
Cause God wouldn’t have put you here for empty space
that’s why we got nitrogen and oxygen
So stop with the pusillanimous actions
And keep your whining to a silence if you not going to change
Go gain a state of humble temerity
You the only one keeping your ass down
And yeah I just turned vulgar and apolitical
But folk these days can’t understand real shit
They only get real shit said in a real shitty way
So here it is
Folk living like they gotta be hand fed
And that shit just keeps us all starving
Go out and hunt your own damn prize
Fuck what I’ve done
Cuz I’ve never had a long focus
Everything I did don’t mean shit if it can’t help save the world
If it can’t make you think and see beyond physical vision,
Then I can’t get down with the movement
My legendary acts are awe situations
Nothing more, nothing less
Just use them to give you some perspective
These are the stories I tell,
Others tell even more about me
Cuz it’s what inspired them
Stories of my feats that move d them from inspiration to operation
I’m only 25 and I am more than phenomenon
I am an ineffable form that genius can’t describe.

Q & A

Q: Why is it people trudge through muddy, complicated paths surrounding themselves with things they care none?

A: Just to say they did it.

Q: Is that the only motivation?

A: That’s the only thing I can think of. Plus you can never tell what life holds ahead. That very undesired experience could have been preparation for something. You may take away one thing that may change an entire outcome.

Q: For instance?

A: Going to school. I hate school. And I cannot say I ever immensely enjoyed all the topics that I forced myself through.

Q: So why go?

A: Mainly because it was free. Secondly, it was an easy way to get paid without me having to be creative from the start of finishing high school. And lastly, going to school keeps you alert on how to bullshit your way effectively through topics you care nothing about.

Q: Why would you need to bullshit your way through those topics?

A: Those who are quick in thought, quicken the ease of their life.

My Acceptance Speech

I would like to take this moment to accept this award on behalf of being great and knowingly favored. I would have to say that it’s a gift and a curse. I’ve practiced so long at being bad in order to get good in so many areas of my life. First, great thanks go out to my practice dummies, without you all I truly could not have made it to this level of greatness, I would not have the aura of clarity in situations to distinguish the learned lessons, and I would not be able to realize in minute or humongous moments how truly favored I am. Because of you Miss Jaunty got skills!!! I’m quicker in discerning the lesson in dash encounters; more humble in my lively living; able to recognize the evidence of ill will in just a gaze; able to read people in order to understand them more; capable of performing acts that build from my creative genius instead of unearthed gifts, and competent enough to know what is for me and what is not for me.

Now don’t get offended, I don’t mean practice dummy in a derogatory manner. So you must see if from my angle. There were lessons I needed to learn, experiments I needed to execute, and curiosities I needed to disengage in order to satisfy my taste buds. Then along came you and viola!, I had someone to practice on. You were used by me to practice on because I needed the practice to become who I am. The context of dummy does not discredit your intellect; it is simply analogous of the fact that you had no clue that you were only being used for methods of executing close perfection. I am truly sorry practice dummies that you will not be able to benefit from my blessedness. I am so apologetic that you are stuck in a rut and you take no responsibility for your life’s actions. I apologize that your unhappiness has no effect on hindering my success. I’ve been forgiven already for using you as my practice dummies. Maybe it’s time for you to find a practice dummy so you can accept this award on behalf of being great and knowingly favored.

Obvious stupidity

I’m sorry but this is just obvious stupidity that we are witnessing [in reference to overpaid individuals who don’t have a clue].

My Blackberry

Years from now I’m sure there will be something better than a Blackberry cell phone. But right now, Blackberry is where it is at. I can not sit and tell you what makes this phone so much better than my past phones…I’ve had Samsung, Sanyo, LG, Treo, and Motorola…but they do not compare to my Blackberry. It could be the $300 price tag that I paid for this phone off of eBay that requires me to use it every waking moment to get my money’s worth. Even when I wake in the middle of the night from sleep; normal people check the time…but not me, I check my blackberry for missed text messages, emails, or scroll through my media files stored on the 2 GB micro SD card in my blackberry. “Why?” you ask. My reply is the same, “why?” I think it would be safe to say that my phone stores memories and gives new memories that make me look back and smile at life. Of course, could other phones provide me with GPS, pictures, text, email, games, international usage, internet, and certainly placing a call…of course!!! But the Blackberry is just sweet and the blacker the berry; the sweeter the juice.

Godly Blessed Career

Tonight, I discovered how passionate I am about what I do. I spent today at a job fair recruiting engineers for the organization which I am currently a part. In retrospect, I never ever disliked my job or what I do. Often times though, I have forgotten who gave me this job. Back in 2005 when I quit the first job that I had in manufacturing and production I went on vacation. I had no plan…all I knew was that I wanted to travel. One day out of the blue, I get a call from some dude from some company saying that he had my resume and wanted to interview with me. I never applied for the position; I had never heard of the company; I had no desire to stay in South Carolina; and I thought it was a hoax because of the means in which he unfolded to me of how he had received my resume. After a phone interview, followed by a two day wait, dude extended me the position over the phone and offered a site visit for me to meet the people and see if this was indeed a good fit for me. Long story short…I accepted the position and I recognized that this job was God. Only he could have put me there. It is from the premise that I must always be mindful that the route in which my career is going is handled directly by God. How many can say that their career is favored because it is Godly blessed? This is not something I chose, and I am uncertain even now if I had the opportunity to read a job description of what I currently that I would even apply. But God has me in this position with this organization for a reason.
So every task/assignment I get at work…God is behind it,
every time I get thrust into the limelight on a project…God supports me,
every time I do public appearances and speak to crowds of people…God guides the clarity of my words and speech;
every time a sporadic task arises that requires immediate attention…God plants the seed that Angela is able;
every time I feel that this is not for me…
I am reminded that this part of my career is of God and I most rise to complete.

“Discovery of passion in actions is grasping that though it wasn’t you who picked the role; it is you who totally supports the entity. To be grateful for and dedicated to an entity not of your shows passion above measure because you are living another’s mission to completion.”
