Magic Woman: August 2009
http://magicwomanspot.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 23, 2009. Sade has a song entitled " The King of Sorrow. I recall absolutely none of the lyrics in this moment but in thinking of a title and a song to include in this entry, I thought of that song. I thought of it and decided to dub myself the Queen of Sorrow. I often say to myself. And then there is the generic sorrow, the reaction to disappointment in my life. That is the worst because it feels so heavy. Everyone has their burden. I am delivering. Mine to God to handle. To be all that I...

Sunday, January 31, 2010. Waiting for My Spaceship to Come. Tell Him" by Lauryn Hill. Now I may have faith to make mountains fall / but if I lack love then I am nothin' at all / i can give away everything I possess / but left without love then I have no happiness / i know I'm imperfect [I know I'm imperfect] / and not without sin [& not without sin] / but now that I'm older all childish things end. I believe in Forgiveness. It is a good thing, a merciful thing, a freeing opportunity. Then the despondency...

Magic Woman: February 2011

Wednesday, February 23, 2011. In the Evening Baby. Tell Him by Lauryn Hill. Let me patient / let me be kind / make me unselfish / without being blind / though i may suffer / i'll envy it not / and endure what comes. Four years later, I was obsessed with this song. I had completed half of high school, met the same friends I still have today, and grown into a Christian. Wayward and still backwards, but exposed to the light at least. So I dropped this person I really, really, really care about off and I cri...

Wednesday, May 4, 2011. Good Love is on the Way" by John Mayer. Good love is on the way / I heard them say. It's been a lousy day, mostly due to the gray skies outside and the black thunderstorm inside. I've been minimally productive, crying, and irritable my whole day. Then I exceeded my skips and switched to my John Mayer station. And he came out kicking with "good love is on the way." I just have to remember that good love is on the way. But she puts up this wall. She treats me like a sleezy busin...

Monday, May 24, 2010. Graduation was on Saturday and it was killer! My roommate and I graduated and sat next to each other during the morning ceremony, talking and tweeting each other at the same time. The speaker was terrible. I was low-key hungover. I was starving and didn't have time to eat before I left the house. And I was hot as hell in that thick silk dress and black gown. But I didn't complain and I didn't even really care sitting in that cap and gown. My God is so good. Saving all my love. Who d...

Magic Woman: October 2010
http://magicwomanspot.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 31, 2010. In middle school my family and I lived in an apartment complex called London Towne in Henrico County. It was the first place we lived in when we first moved to Richmond, before my parents bought our beautiful house in Glen Allen. I remember I loved it so much because I was coming into my own as a chef and it had a gas stove. Ain't nothing like cooking on a gas stove. Then I heard it. I heard what my baby was saying to himself. He wasn't actually saying anything. He was singi...

Friday, May 6, 2011. I Can Blow Big Bubbles. They Gonna Talk" by Beres Hammond. Some things were meant to be. I didn't fall in love. They say not to use the term "falling" in reference in love. Love is supposed to be deliberate. Not that you decide "I am going to love this person" but that when you feel the unmistakeable, you admit and accept it. Love is my favorite thing to do. I used to fall. In love at least twice a year, haphazardly, insincerely, and with juvenile understanding. I forgot to tell you,...

Magic Woman: July 2010
http://magicwomanspot.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 29, 2010. I am currently reading this book my friend Malinda gave me just before the heffah left for. Boston (I do miss you). I haven't read a substantial portion of the book at all. I may be 13 pages in but already I am reading about a heavy emphasis on the pride of being a male and the commodification of women that is blatant, viscous, annoying, arbitrary and stupid. The ideas behind the decency, honor, and submission of women in Islam is all about sex. Women must be decent and cover...
