You have given us beauty for ashes, love for hate

About Me

Honesty is the best policy. I like to laugh and make others laugh. I strongly dislike dogs. I have a bad memory. I like soul music. I love food and I used to be fat. I am probably a 4 yr. old in a grown-up's body. I have probably decided to never date again. I chase ice cream trucks like they're leprechauns or something. I enjoy the color maroon. I like to read. I want to go on an adventure.

My Interests

Bears (grizzly, polar, and panda), my friend Jesus, dental hygeine, being alternately frivolous and scrupulous with money, ice cream is very good, the ocean is a great deal of fun, I kind of like to see people get hit in the face with flying objects... You know, I'm just a creature of habit waiting for a break in the routine.

I'd like to meet:

This little girl:I think she and I have a lot in common.

Music:

I enjoy songs with modulations in them. I hate songs with screaming in them.We won't like the same music most probably.

Movies:

Plot and character development. Nothing too flashy. The Color Purple. Dancer in the Dark. Forrest Gump. Good Will Hunting. The Wizard of Oz and the Wiz. Sister Act II. The Preacher's Wife.Any Disney movie made in or before '95. Post Lion King they are worthless. I mean, what the hell, Quasi Modo?

Television:

Bravo keeps me entertained, what with Being Bobby Brown and Project Runway marathons. Sometimes that show about cutting hair.

Books:

My favorite books are Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand, To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison, Songmaster by Orson Scott Card, Dune by Frank Herbert, Blue Like Jazz by Donald Miller, Meridian by Alice Walker, the Seed to Harvest trilogy by Octavia E. Butler, and the His Dark Materials trilogy by Phillip Pullman.

Heroes:

My mama, forever and ever. "The perfect combination of smart, funny, and stank."

My Blog

Of bonnets and beers.

These are the most halcyon of days. I awoke at 10 and went for a run as I do. Sometimes when I go running... well really, just twice now, I've stopped to swing on the swing set in Grant Park and tha...

I am excited about these things:

I am about to massage my own feet because they hurt because my new shoes are a little too little. Also I am going to read "A Wrinkle in Time" for the 653rd time. I then will go to sleep in my newly ...

Things I want to write down

So today I got to school very early with the hopes of getting a paper written but instead I have just walked to every book store around Georgia State and be foiled repeatedly in finding the book on wh...

random musings.

Let's talk about it.There's nothing more fun to me than watching videos of the Clark Sisters on youtube.  It doesn't hurt if Alex Kornelius Monroe is watching them with me and we are making fun of eve...

Oh, everything and nothing...

Hey, guys. So I'm laying in bed and kind of bored and not really ready to shut my eyes yet, so I figured I would write some stuff on this here blog. So I feel like the scripture where God tells us "...

Just sayin’.

I just got home from the DSC a little while ago.  It's 3:36 am and I am coming home from a bar, entirely sober.  It's a pretty great feeling.  While there, I was looking around and tryi...

Toad in the hole...

Do you know what a toad in the hole is? My guess is, if you're from the South, you probably do. The fact of the matter is, though, your mama probably called it something different. That or I'm just...

What if Jesus was chubby?

I don't know why I'm such a glutton for punishment. I just went running in the 81 degree, humid as the bottom of a swimming pool, Georgia heat. I now look like this:But I guess it's because I don't ...

Run, fly, escape...

I think if I could run as fast as I could and never get winded and never sweat, I would never stop running. I would just run as fast as I could any place that I thought of. Maybe across (North) Amer...
