Awoke In Darkness and In Darkness

I woke up this morning from a dream I remember as if it really happened. This was around 4am and in the dream, I was in a severely dark room with 2 other people. I hear a scuffle between them and then one of them hits the other so hard, s/he becomes silent. The room is darker than any darkness I've ever experienced. I am searched for by the other dark figure. Yes, I can see a cloud of darkness IN the darkness searching for me. I hid under something but can hear the room being felt for my existence. I awaken... it is still dark... the cloud of darkness has followed me but it now hovering around me like a cape but a huge cape. I get up and go to the bathroom turning on the lowest light in there. The dark cape is there but not as dark as when the light goes back off. It follows me back to my room. It brings with it negative thoughts from my childhood and my things my family has gone through. It comes with a depth that makes me tear up. And as hard as I try to think of other thoughts, this cape is holding it's grip over my mind heavily and my body too. Why I am asking? Even as I place myself in other another state, as in the say NM or NV, it follows me. I can still see it's shadow around in my attempt to "day dream" it away. So I get the phone to read some spiritual passages that I hope will help. Nothing. I ask God to release me from this darkness. I ask God "what are you trying to show me". What is the message? I have never felt the depth of this darkness before in my life. My prayer is that if this is my last ever post that I let everyone whom I touched know that I love them with the deepest love I could ever love in my life. The last powerful tweet I read was posted on a person I follows timeline and it reads: "Veronica Nunn ‏@vnunn @DanielSunjata I recognize the dark that resides right next to the light in my heart. This is how I stay true. This is how I see" I will try to go back to sleep now and in an hour or so maybe arise to "The Light"...

The track 'Believer' from Common's upcoming album release is the 4th song out so far. Listen with the link above!! I usually am not a John Legend voice lover, but this one is pretty good. Would love to get the instrumental to this tune. How are you feeling it?

"Edgar, The Albino Spider-Squirrel"

Being on social networks gives me knowledge in ways I cannot begin to count. I learn about new music, new videos, new tv shows and even new animals. "Animals" you say? Yes, animals. On a fairly new site entitled GetGlue, I'm conversing with a lady who has a rather friendly animal as a pet - a squirrel. There's one unique thing about him though... he's an albino. Aside from being the "neighborhood celebrity", he is definitively not winning the one life much less 9 of her feline fur children. "Edgar", as he's been named, is something of a show off in these photos she's managed to get of him.

Hope you learned something new here too. I will close this by linking the Albino Squirrel Preservation Society webpage for you to get even more knowledge about these squirrels. Go here - http://albinosquirrel.com/

Missing/Updated Blogs

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time no see Bloggettes and BlogHIMs. I've been mysteriously appearing with c & p stuff for testing purposes. So today, I edited my 'Following Blogs' list. Some are gone for good and some the URL's were broke. Fixed what I could and removed any I could not.

If you are out there and you Blog and I am not following you... let me know. I am especially missing my Just Judith pal!!

The First No Photo Needed Post

If I just say "oil spill", a picture of the very horrific scenery be in your brain... instantly. And this image is forever burned into my brain as I watched on TV today as a poor bird making an attempt to clean his oil laden body. I was struck and I was struck hard. In my heart and in my head. I want to go and be trained on how to aid these poor animals. I want to pack all of my Maryland possessions and just move on the water lands that they are on and just start cleaning. I don't want to sit on the couch and watch the process, I want to be of assistance to it. I felt and still feel compelled to do something. And what I want to do is learn from their perspective. No, not about the oil spill, not about what caused it but what those poor creatures life will be like should they live. I want to be there and help put their lil lives back together as I have for a few humans. I want to be there and bury them, again, like I have some humans.

I just want to be there... dangittoall

Here's some pics. Still trying to find a couple more but the event was DOPE!!


Here's the Official site so that you can read more on what the event is about.

'Mr Scott McKnight' Brings It 'Just Wright' To The DMV

Actually he brought posters and a very warm persona along with his support team. No security, no huff nor puff nor fluff. Just a 'Calm Common Collected' (an actual CD title) guy dressed in jeans, sneakers and a t-shirt that read 'Great Scott'. Arriving a lil off the scheduled time of 3pm, 'Mr Scott McKnight' came right in and sat right down for the 2+ hours Meet n Greet session. He was cordial and polite to each and every person as they stepped up for their time with him. Pleasantly smiling and being very grateful for the support, he managed to get thru the session despite the warmth in the mall and Lane Bryant in Pentagon City, Virginia.


I was grateful that I was able to show him (via my cell phone) the one CD I had on me which he really liked. Prior to his arrival, I had tweeted to 'him' that it was warm in the mall prior to his arrival. While I was still talking to him about this, he pointed to Sean, his assistant?? and told him I was the one who sent the tweet about it being warm. See, Twitter can be very effective. I could not get the nerve to ask for a pic with him as I was just glad he took the time to come to the DMV. It's not been my normal self to ask more of a person once they're already giving you something you know. I took as many pics as I could from inside and outside the store. I also managed to speak to other supporters which made this a really neat experience.


I started feeling a lil ill so I trekked on over to my favorite pretzel spot (Auntie Annie's), chowed it down and was going to leave afterwords. A tweet came in that made me return and show 'Scott' what was said. Staying around a lil longer proved beneficial as I received a film T-Shirt, a HUGE poster and was named 'biggest Twitter fan' by Sean. Man, that was icing on the cake so much that I am still stoked.

Now, can you believe after reading all of this that I JUST picked up Common's CDs last week?? Can you believe I had not heard one song by him prior to them? Can you believe I had not done any more than seen him in the films he's been in? Can you believe I so slept on him? Neither can I but my Moms always said "it's never too late to learn". Common loves supporters who come on board today as much as those who've been there since the umbilical cord was cut. Not literally YOU. It means since his first release to allow us to even know who he or 'Mr Scott McKnight' is.


Thank you Common for giving up pieces of your life to do what you do and love most besides being a father/son/family man/man of GOD. And definitely thank you for allowing that which you love to have brought 'Mr Scott McKnight' to the DMV.

Here's a link to more of my photos. Do ENJOY!!



SMILES!!


PS - as I said on Twitter - $2 parking. $3 Aunt Annie's Pretzel. $5 returnable footies from Macy's. Meet n Greet with Common AKA 'Mr Scott McKnight' = PRICELESS!!
