Re-treat

It's that time of year, and I'm heading out to St. Maarten for sixteen days for some sanity, sun, and stuff. Oh, and quality time with Eric, which brings us to our second ocean in a year and definitely tanned skin. Guess who'll be darker. This is a treat after a very long year full of hard work and a strong push to restore some balance. To say I'm looking forward to this trip is an understatement.

No guest spots during my absence on the blog this year. So consider this your "please stay tuned" message. I wrote over 30 pages in my paper journal during last year's vacation, so maybe I'll have some fresh content for you on my return. Until then, enjoy this piece from 4 Feb 2006:

It was tender, soft, tentative.
It was warm and slightly intoxicated.
A moment of lapse, a glimpse of sanity.
It was you for a moment, pressing gently.
Not trying to be free.

Meanwhile

Right.

While I'm preparing a few posts, listen to this here music, courtesy of House Arrest Streams. Don't forget... SAY IT LOUD!

Now Hear This : Derrick Carter - Live @ Jack

Why has blogging been so difficult lately? Sometime soon, I'll either post some curious stuff from my drafts file, or a copy of my MLK message. Eh, it's been an interesting quarter. Y'all hang in there with me. Come, let us reason together!

And I'm Telling You

Go see Dreamgirls. Period.

Until then, the fellow in this video has come for Miss Jennifer Hudson, the true new rising star of the epic film revival-- yes, revival-- as in church.
That sweet. Bless him.

Soon!
