& THE DAY STARTED OFF RIGHT..

i had a very good morning.
i like running during cold mornings.. it feels better. something about how crisp the air is.. it's just a tad bit more satisfying. who doesn't love beanies ?! who doesn't love gloves?! i love both.
i'm not a summer person. don't get me wrong, i love the beach, and summer is great.. but i LOVE winter. i LOVE fall. i love layers, and scarfs, and gloves, and tights, and lattes, and cocoa, and soup, and christmas, and blankets, and novels. bring it on baby, bring it on.. today i received an e-mail about simple pleasures in life. it made me appreciate life's dopeness.. pretty pansy.. but we over-look shit too fucking often.. i complain too much. so in effort to cut down on that, i'm going to re-visit this list when i think my times are tough./ there is ALWAYS someone who has it worse than you. today, i am thankful i am not someone.

SLEEPING IN ON A RAINY DAY
the rain beats lightly against your window and you nestle your head deeper into your pillow. the sound is soothing and your bed feels like a sanctuary.

FINDING MONEY YOU DIDNT KNOW YOU HAD
you reach into your pocket and find a $20 from the last time you wore these jeans. you aren’t rich, but you are richer than you were a second earlier.

MAKING BRIEF EYE CONTACT WITH SOMEONE OF THE OPPOSITE SEX
you pass them on the street or in the subway. they glance up at you momentarily, making direct eye contact in a way that seems to communicate a subtle curiosity.

THE FIRST SIP WHEN YOU'RE THIRSTY
you just finished mowing the lawn or taking a long jog. the only thing on your mind is an ice-cold glass of water. when you are really, really thirsty, that first sip of any liquid beverage is sheer bliss.

HOLDING HANDS
holding hands is sensual and physically intimate, yet subtle. there are few people you allow to hold your hand, so when it happens you can be sure that the moment is special.

i can finally say that my list of things to do is more than half way done.. i can officially start the list of things that i would like to do. i've been at the library every day this week and i say that shit with fucking pride son. nothing better than some starbucks, a novel, sitting on the ground and a heap of clothing on your body to keep you warm.. my blackberry with copious amounts of hip hop deserves mention too. i'm binge'n, on hip hop and simple pleasures.. and it's safe to say, that being so fucking busy.. has never felt this good.


divorce is still on?! whooot, i love you daddy. nom nom.

back to work.
