Mr. Baize and the composition book

I am blogging today. I blogged twice yesterday. Even though I can blame my homegirl for starting me on this whole blogging thing, I blame my freshman year English teacher for this want to write something everyday. Everyday in his class we would have to write whatever was in our heads in our black and white journals for five minutes. Even if you wrote "I am not thinking of anything, this is stupid" over and over again that what we was supposed to do. He never collected the journals so you could write whatever you wanted and didn't have to use proper English which was a blessing in itself for me. But anyway, it taught me that expressing myself with the keyboard or pen could be therapeutic. I am not a poet or any sort of literary talent. I just like to put my thoughts down so I can get it out. Whatever it is, no matter how big or little, just to get it out. I mean who cares the folks got ill with me about the V8. I did and I am glad I have an outlet to share my thoughts so I don't have to bore nobody with the very little things that happen to me. I share the little things with my friend sometimes. I wonder if he listens to all the rambling I do. Really can't say if I would. A long lost buddy of mine invited me to her wedding. I am so happy for her. From what she says she went through a lot which is why she lost touch with many people. Everyone has to go through their own storms. The only thing we can control is how we handle the storm. Kirk Franklin is on the radio. Even though he got the blessing from a member of The Elements, he should have left September alone. I want Lila James' album. I am a grown woman in college and still don't know when to put the apostrophe behind the s. I am quite sure one of my English teachers covered that rule, but I was probably too busy composing music. I miss being in my high school band sometimes. Lisa Lopez died five years ago today. Funny the little tidbits you pick up by listening to the radio. Why do many people with paid radio think they are superior to those that don't? Will I feel that way too if I get it? Vegetable lasagna from Stouffers is delish. So is Carvel icecream logs rolled in the Carvel cruchies. I am having a fat girl moment. I'll complain about my weight later, I know. But it was good and will be good tonight. I don't want to drive tomorrow. I want to ride my whole vacation. I drive every where cuz Pooka isn't old enough. I have no choice but to do everything. I feel the need to complain but I am not. Just will end this here. Has it been five minutes?

I agree with you on the Kirk Franklin song, it just doesn't flow well with me.

Can't believe it's been 5 years since Left Eyes death...wow, time really does fly by. Now that I think about it, it will be 6 years since Aaliyah passed away and since 9/11 happened. That's a long time....makes me think back on what has happened with me for the past 6 years.

Ladynay said...

AR, u feel me huh?

Time really flies. It waits for no one :-I

Honey, you may like it, give it a listen at least once.

Journals whether online or not have been good for me. It allows me to share with "somebody" what's going on with me and my thoughts. It can't do anything but help to share, if only with yourself.

I love writing as well. I have been journalling for years now and I find it helps.

Every entry in my journal begins dear Mr. Diary. I learned might early on that you can't trust your deep dark secrets to another woman. Lol.

Funny how time flies.

Kirk Franklin does not shop at baby gap he shops at Gymboree. lol

I actually like the song. If for nothing but the groove of it.

I miss composing music as well.

I like writing too. Even if I do need an assistant to come behind me after spell check.

Have a good day lady bug.

Ladynay said...

Tantrum, it really does! I would really like to get my hand on my old journals and the one I had just for Mr. Baizes class, just to see what my thoughts were like then.

I learned that too! My journal is female but most of the "therapists" I have had are male. LOL

DNT, Stop making fun of Mr. Franklins short slim frame!

Some days I wish I still had the love for composing. Any past attempts at trying were fruitless. :-(

Sepll chek? Waddat? LOL

Why are you dissing people with paid radio? [Tears stuff up around your blog while screaming, "That's discrimination, damn it!"] We feel superior because we get to hear more than the 10 or 12 songs you hear on free radio and we have a better selection of genres to listen to. Yes, you will feel smug when you join us. :o)

I'm sure your friend listens to you, otherwise he/she/it wouldn't be much of a friend.

You used the apostrophe correctly. I can spank you when you use it incorrectly...hard. Oh yeah. Give me a moment.

Complain, it's your thoughts and your blog. I want you to do a FiF! That would be fun.

Pamalicious said...

Ha! I used to do that same thing to my college journals.

Um I got kinda cross-eyed with the run on - was that the intent?

I have paid radio and actually I don't feel superior until I get in the boonies and know that someone else is listening to some wack ass station and I'm listening to all the cursing I can handle, lol

I am sad to say I no longer keep a personal journal. It just died off. I've had years where I didn't write, I might pick it back up.

Ladynay said...

Freaky, OIC, hmmmmm guess that makes sense.

So does the second comment.

Ill' ne'ver 'use i't in'cor'rect'ly 'if thats' t'he ca'se. ;-P

*GASP* The FiF king gave me the go 'head to do one? LOL! I don't think I can get irrate enough to do it justice.

Pam, I intentionally did it cuz it was the manner in which I wrote in my journal in his class. :-)

Have you ever drove through PA? OMG I swear there are 3 stations all through that freakin' state! So I feel you!

Your blog is a journal of sorts so it didn't really die off, you just changed methods. Many of us that did it in pen and paper form slowed up after we started blogging.

Freaky Deaky said...

Damn, I'm going to have to start stretching and lifting weight to keep my spanking arm in good enough shape to um "instruct" you in the proper use of apostrophes. LOL!

Damn, I hope I don't tear a rotator cuff or separate my shoulder spanking you.

You might be surprised at how easy it would be to do FiF!

Ladynay said...

I see I will need to have you sign a waiver before any instruction is given! LOL

I don't know, I may try to do one one day. Just pop up one day out the blue with it :-)

Tell your coworkers to kick rocks.

Have you tried the Chicken Lasagna? It's so good.

Ladynay said...

I am done talking about it. I did walk through with my juice in hand just to be petty. Grade school, I know, but whatever! LOL

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS and yes it is! Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm they can work a lasangna of any kind! Definitely worth the 11 bucks!

I stopped writing when my mom and grandmom read my journal. I was so freakin' furious. They had the nerve to be mad because I sad mean things about them. But I felt like they wouldn't have known if they weren't snopping. So creating my blog was my way of getting back to gettinh things off my chest woth out worrying who would read it.

Who is Lisa Lopez? I feel like I should know who that is.

Can a skinny girl have a fat girl moment...Because there is nothing like a good banana split. I would step over my mother's dead corpse to get one right now. hahahaha I'm joking (that was a horrible joke) :-)

Ladynay said...

Reading someones journal is like opening and reading someones mail w/out permission. You feel so violated when someone intrudes on your thoughts like that. :-(

Lisa Lopez = Left Eye from the group TLC

ANYONE can have a fat girl moment Trina! I haven't had me a banana split in a minute! Yum!

I can't type or write banana with out thinking of Gwen Stefanie's Holla Back Girl song! UGH! LOL
