life lessons
sometimes life lessons really suck.
on the other hand, it sucks being stuck in an undesirable position.
so, as much as i would rather not have to deal with the lesson, i'm going to be grown up about it and do what i gotta do.

Socks are the wives of the feet...
I'm on my way home from kickboxing tonight and am channel surfing on the radio. Until I come across something that makes me stop.
A man with a very familiar French accent is translating random things from French to English....belt, dress, shoes, slippers. Then it takes a wierd turn...high-heeled shoes, bra, tampon, sanitary pad. And when I think it can't get any stranger....he starts translating a ditty about socks.
"Socks are the wives of the feet. They are knitted. They are for big feet, small feet, crooked feet and even feet that smell bad"
Gotta love public radio.
And the familiar French accent...I thought it was francophone African but it turns out it was Haitian.

Easin' on down...
A blustery Sunday afternoon in Jersey...what to do? what to do?
Since I have no books that I haven't read/feel like reading over again - I turn to my good friend Comcast. Normally, Comcast is pretty disappointing. But today was different. HBO was showing "The Wiz".
I heart "The Wiz". I've seen it so many times. But this time, I noticed a few things:
-How talented MJ was in this movie.: His voice is AMAZING. Particularly when singing the Crow Anthem. Even his acting was good. Such a shame, such a shame.
-The similarities between Diana Ross and Whitney Houston: Miss Ross can't dance. To save her life. She and Whitney are cut from the same cloth. Nor can she act...much like Whitney. She needs a burger or too....much like Whitney.
- Dorothy is from Harlem. Prior to moving to this area, south of 125th meant nothing to me.
- There are a lot of sublte fun things in the movie....the "Don't Ease" signs when they meet the Lion. The Nathan's sign when they leave with the Tin Man. Teeny looks A LOT like Evillene.

Head stuff
Finally...my hair is done. It's very strange (in a good way) to see it so neat after all of this time.
The experience was a stereotypical one....10 AM appointment and not seen until 11. However, the woman who did my hair is VERY GOOD and VERY FAST and INEXPENSIVE.
It also feels really soft. I had to wrap it up in a stocking cap to keep myself from rubbing it.

Head to Toe
Eyebrows - plucked
Nails - manicured
Feet - comfortable
Now to get the hair taken care of...and the slow but sure transformation still continues

but in this case...retro rocks
About a week ago, I came across a video that was interesting. As I was bopping along to the music, I thought that one musician in particular caught my eye. So I watched it again and again. Then I watched it yet again on youtube.
Sure enough, a guy that I knew when I lived/worked in Ghana was in the video. Derrick Ashong!Of course, I had to look for him on a social networking site...and I found him. If you get a chance, check out the group's site and their new album. Derrick is the cat in front with the hat.
As an added bonus, the video was shot in Ghana. So many memories...I definitely HAVE to get back their soon.
