"NOT SINCE I BEEN GROWN"
Like any powerful addiction, meat has worked it's way back into my diet on a fairly consistent basis this week. Starting with the small slither of smoked turkey found resting in the fie collard greens that my sister-in-law hooked up for me on Monday night; followed by Catfish on Tuesday; Filet Mignon tips on Wednesday; & Organic Rotisserie Chicken on Thursday. The range??? Beef???
"Have you forgotten about Mad Cow's disease, Oriana?"
This question posed to myself as molars masticated the tender flesh. Sheesh! Get me off of this thing!!!

PIMENTO OLIVES WITH ORGANIC CHEESE
(Gouda, Cheddar & Blue Cheese)
Never a more normal series of hours than this government wedding anniversary. Besides Kush "calling Earl" a couple of times, nothing special really. After 12 years & 4+children, normal becomes a mighty fine present. Mind's eye had always envisioned going diamond an occasion for grand hoopla. Fairy tales live in books. We live here & now. Give thanks!
"...if it's the thought that counts..."
Dwight would gift Oriana a diamond broach pinned onto a suit jacket lapel.
Oriana would gift Dwight an assortment of music cufflinks (see below):
You must admit, these links are classic. Hilarious!

Face it fellas, once a woman has stayed down for more than 7 divine years & actually brought forth child, there are few things that you can do to top that in a whole lifetime. Pregnancy. Labor. Can't see anything more humbling or loyal on a wifey's behalf. It shouldn't be too much to expect a man to at least TRY to top it every once in a while. Should it? Eye don't get these new age American men; & that's coming from a true Southern woman. You all know what they say about us down south gals? Among the most dedicated in the nation.
Willingly jump through a hoop or two BIG-MAN. Not only does she deserve it, but it will add a couple cents into her nickel bag of praise. That change might come in handy on a rainy day. :-)

C.J. MORTON
Granny always advised me to not advertise my man.
"You don't need to advertise your husband. Other women don't need to know what you got."
In my case, those wise words only go so far because as an entertainer, Count BassD serves as a walking banner for what many women want - a popular beau. Make no mistake about it, like most public figures, L.adies L.ove C.ool C.ount.
"Hey ladies."
That said, this mo'fo threw down on some gourmet version of Macaroni & Cheese this afternoon.
"Makes me wanna shout," Elmo bellows. Eye feel you, Kevin. Me, too.
Brother cooks so proper that we have begun to put together a cookbook to be accompanied by beats. We have a million little projects going on like that behind these moldy walls. The sooner we find space to live & thrive; the sooner we manifest to the greater good of the universe. Those of you who have supported us with your energy and hard-earned money - GIVE THANKS!
All day.
All night.
MAY 25=10th Wedding Anniversary
Happy Anniversary, Dwight! Somehow, we made it!

AFTER THE DANCE
Suni & Sh'ia unite over Lionel Richie songwriting soul movement.Sitting, watching this clip on Nightline has renewed my faith in the possibility of art being sustenance. He is the first artist to capitalize on the renewed ties between Libya & these United States. Wow! Wonder if they might like Count's Down Easy. Shoot...it's a love song. Kinda?
My husband justs remarked about how well Down Easy went over tonight at the Cat's Cradle (Carrboro, NC). Heads showed mad love over the course of the evening.
Insight ripped the place to shreds PERIOD
BELIEVE THAT PERIOD
Crazy shouts to: Aida, Mark, L, Insight, Crash, Jason, Angie & the whole base

Let us recognize the life & contributions of Malcolm X, born May 19, 1925.
Reading The Autobiography of Malcolm X in 10th Grade was my first detailed insight into the militant leader's life. Like many young afrocentric youth in the America's, the teachings of El Hajj Malik Shabazz led me to explore religious principles outside of Europeanized Christianity.
Writer and playwright, Lorraine Hansberry was also born on this day. This information came to me fresh by way of my favorite newsletter, mentioned below. "Netsanett Ahun" (the title) was taken from a page in Hansberry's posthumous, To Be Young Black and Gifted. Peace Be Upon Him. Peace Be Upon Her.
