Brother Omi, and his losing streak....
THis song pretty much sums up how i feel right about now. if you haven't heard I AM NOT WALKING on saturday. Yup, it sucks. Explanation? entirely my fault. I just refused to see my counselor and in the end after he and ran over everything with a fine comb, i am short 9 credits. i feel like such a loser (not to mention the fact that we lost the newly wed game miserably, i can't get a decent job, and i am 6,000 words behind on my book).
But i got to quote the agent with a wire, Jesse Jackson. I got to keep hope Alive right? While I am mopping around there are babies to feed, bills to pay, phone calls to make, folks to teach, books to read, and a wife to take care of. Just a day in the life....
on a good note:
-- I have great friends... thank you all for your understanding. I apologize for getting your hopes up. Thanks for all your time and support. You guys are great. In December it is on.
-- my wonderful family ... i know i dissappointed you all and i will make it up. Thanks for your support.
-- my loving wife...if anything i feel like i really let YOU down. Man, i love you so and i hate doing stuff like this. It makes me feel inadequate and wack (i know i ran out of adjectives... some of them were too harsh). BUt i love you and we shall win.
Thanks to all those who purchase the mix tape and came through just to make sure we were good.
How do i feel? like dog poo man...
-------------------------------
Of course, there is a lighter side to it all...
1. I got the weekend off... We have Sankofa. I can't wait to see Ashra Kwesi and Hakim Bey.. we perform as well. go here to get more info...I will get a chance to see my Capoeira brethren again.
2. Sunday night is Unity Feast...at our house... It's like that ya'll...

Returning to the evil empire...
Yes, I have returned to Starbucks in MacArthur Mall. They even gave me back the supervisor position. The ill thing is that as soon as I got there, folks came to me to settle their problems just like i did last year. It was as if I was never there. Literally, as soon as I walked in the door, it was on. I was like WTF. Much has changed and much hasn't. FOlks still trip at my usually happy self.
Again, there are days in which i hold court with the brothers and sisters and drop science. Whether its yoga movements, history, or checking heads on their ways and actions, there is always a cipher at my kiosk.
The Mall rats of course act like HAY SOOS has returned. its real bugged. I got several stories to tell. So stay tuned.

Happens to the best of us...I'll be in summer school taking 9 credits this summer. I walk in December too. I don't know if you did this or not, but keep a up-to-date record of all your courses so that you can match it up with the graduate requirements. I'm at a lost only because I transferred schools twice and NCCU is slow about placing credits in their proper place. Anyway...best wishes!
peace my brotha!
I sincerely enjoyed every blogs on your page..i was mad at myself for not having visited sooner.
Hold your head up high brotha/ when my God gets in a funk about where he is in his life and what dreams he has yet to accomplish-i remind him that as long as he his breath in his body he can build. It ain't over till its over and even then with the 1, 2, and 3 you give to your Earth and seeds, your dream continues. You must stay focused God and know that all your work that you do, is worth ten times more than that degree in reality. As far as the just, know that its just a temporary situation and not something you intend on making a career with--sacrifice is a standard om the struggle for mental and physical freedom..
peace to you and you beautiful family--i recognize and relate to your beautiful struggle.
light!
