*This one won't be very long, at times I get so excited that I have to sit on my words before I can fully complete what I want to say. I like for thins to be well thought out so people can really unserstand where I am coming from.*
Part I
I know...I know, how can you celebrate a "New Year" in a dead season? Well, due to the fact that New Years here in America is observed in December, I'll observe the end as in out with the Old until Spring, in with the New.
Looking back, 2005 has been such a blessing for me, I do not regret ANYTHING that went on this year. I have learned a lot, met plenty of great, wonderful people, and I am looking forward to 2006. It's only gonna get better. I thank God for the position I've been placed in although at times I think I might not be able to handle it...God has definitely got my back.
To give you somewhat of an idea of what I mean by the people I've met this year...let's take a look back a 2005. First let me say, if any of my friends are reading this "I love you all, regardless of how long or short of a period of time I've known you...I really do charish the union that has been created between us. I can say that honestly for all of my friends, because God has placed some wonderfully, magnificent, intelligent people in my path and that I am thankful for each and every person I come into contact with on regular basis." I feel like I've seen years and years of history this past year, I've been amongst some of the people I thought I'd only read about. This year and this year alone, I've met Common, Nikki Giovanni, Amiri Baraka, The Last Poets, went to Two...count them, two Roots concerts...oh my goodness, I really enjoyed myself this year. I've grown so much...
To touch on the three major people I've met, Nikki Giovanni, Amiri Baraka, and The Last Poets...I know that "They are only people", at the same time, much respect is due. I am 25 years old, granted growing up, I didn't know exactly what they were talking about all the time but now, as a woman, as a poet, as a person, I can appreciate the path that they've paved for us, for we, the future. I blown away...perhaps years from now, I'll be able to better explain what I am feeling right now...but at this moment, words cannot fully capture the emotion, imagination cannot grasp the thought...I am just very greatful to have had the opportunity to meet those magnificient people. Very down to earth, "Humble as a mumble in the jungle of shouts and screams"...it's funny when you think about it, any so called "Hip-Hop Artist" has a bigger ego than the people I've just mentioned, they feel they are larger than life when honestly...well, we know the truth, they're really just puppets. I wonder if they, the "Hip-Hop Artist" would appreciate such a moment of meeting Nikki G or The Last Poets, Sistah Soujah...just a thought. Or furthermore, do they even know who they are?
Okay...I am off the subject, plus, gotta get ready to go see The Lion King.
**Stay tuned for Part II**

Ah...Today
Feeling kinda loopy right now...I had a rough night.
Dealing with females issues, here's what happen:
It's 10pm, I get up to get ready for a long night...I had to work from 11:45 p.m. to 5:45 a.m. So I decided to take a shower to refresh my senses and head out the door. I got out the shower and noticed a change within my body immediately, a indescribible pain. If I can relate it to anything, I felt like I was about to give birth...it was horrible. Being the type of person I am, I still try to make it to work, I thought to myself "Maybe I just need some fresh air." In my attempts to make it to the front door my fever shoots through the roof and I fall to the floor in pain. Now I am thinking, "This is one hell of a menstral cramp". Finally, I get to my feet and make it to the door.
Once I got outside, the fresh air made me feel somewhat better...that didn't last too long. I was so hot, I was sweating in 53 degree weather, I rolled down all the windows in my truck and proceeded to go to work thinking that the cramps would ease up. No deal...they just got worse. I made it 5 miles down the road and turned around to head for the hosptial. At that point my legs and toes begin to cramp up, I thought I was about to have a seisure. I called my homegirl, Shonta, to come pick me up to take me to the hospital. I parked my truck in the parking lot of my apartment and sat there until she came...the pain just kept on hitting me. My stomach was upset, my eyes were rolling in the back of my head, my breathing was off...everything inside of me was going haywire.
She finally made it to my crib. I jumped out of my truck and into hers, tightly curled in the fetal position. Once I made it the Emergency room the pain begin to let up a little bit...and then a little bit more...and then a little bit more. By the time I went to Triage to be examined, I was good...the hospital does something for people that really don't want to be there.
Ultimately I found out the an Ovarian Cyst had ruptured. Next week I have to get examined to make sure I don't have anymore growths, cancers, etc. That was the scariest thing that ever happened to me, I really felt like I was going to die. It is such a scary feeling when you KNOW that you are in good health, you eat right, take your herbs, and work out then out of the blue...BAM!...you get knocked down. The doctor nailed it right on the head, I did some research and my symptoms were identical to what happened last night. That incident just makes me want to be more aware of my body, I had no clue what was going on inside of me.
For the female readers: Don't be alarmed, just be informed, we really need to take care o our bodies so that our bodies can take care of us.
For the male readers: Encourage your Queens to take care of their bodies, that is what brings forth life. At the same time, make sure that you're on the up and up as well...I don't know too much about the male anatomy but get that prostate checked out on the regular to ensure all the bells and whisels are worksing. :o>
Well...until next time folks...take care, God Bless
Peace

It's Official!
For the longest time I've heard "Vee, you need to start a Blog". My reply, "I don't know what to say", so a friend of mine told me just to talk about what goes on in everyday life, so I will. I have a lot of my mind at this moment but I'll take a minute to get used to this first before boring people to death. :o>
To whomever shall read this, thanks for stopping by. Looking forward to a beautiful Blogging relationship. :o>
