I lied.
Slightly stirred.
My sister, who basically raised me when my mother died , and who is basically my go to person and backbone is moving back home to the Middle East.
Im so sad. Yes, I said it, and Im so not one to write blogs about personal personal personal shit. But hot damn, It just hit me.
Since she told me a month ago, I have been playing it to the side, like its a joke. So naturally the "I dont want to accept it" side in me has been in denial.
Until I went to her condo tonight, and it hit me. All the boxes, luggage, and posters on the every wall in every room to remind her of appointments, what to pack and all that jazz [she's a Dr. Shes O.C.D, and I got it from her]
Im really #@!$ed up over this , and between the night I have had, this was the icing on the cake. Im guilty of not telling those closest to me how much I love them and care for them, and my sister has been a victim of that. And now that shes about to go, Its like I just want to run to her and try not to cry and tell her not to go.
Sigh. Now the fam is really scattered.
So now, Im shook, stirred, and scattered.

Shaken not Stirred.
Back in the A, and on the way home from the airport [around 630ish] got in a wreck on the highway. Before I go on, I'm straight.
Basically dude behind me slammed into me , and smashed his shit up [I mean dudes shit is FUCKED UP, would post pics, but camera phones at night on the freeway suck].
My truck was left with a minor dent, paint chips, and a broken light]
Im kind of out of it, still with a slight headache, went to sleep, woke up, on here, and I think I'm starting to feel the aftermath. I was really out of it tonight,hopefully I will snap out of it by tomorrow.
BTW: Come to Good times hosted by NO ID tonight @ The Royal

The ultimate sign of commitment...
I moved to NYC in June and spent August 15th-October 25th in Atlanta...to some.. they thought I moved back... I didn't. My lease on my spot was not ready till October 1st and I had committed to parties and events till October 27th.. so made no senses to fly back every other day. [ just incase you were wondering.... ]
So... I'm back in the Apple and I made the biggest commitment to my determination of making NYC work for me [other than signing my lease on my apartment] ....
I bought a COUCH.
and some plates too. [Pics coming soon. ... so GORGEOUS, GAUDY, AND OLD LADY'ISH..my fave thing ever]
Thats a big move for me. I have an air mattress, a pillow (1) and one AirTran blanket (don't worry I washed it) and close to 7 suitcases worth of clothes and shoes. I have been living like the ultimate gypsy with a crash spot. But now ... I made a full on commitment. I bought my first purchase and this is my promise to myself that I am here to stay... next purchase/service: PAINTING... after that : a BED
I went through hell getting that damn couch.. so im very sensetive about it.. and if you visit you cant eat on it.. or do anything on it.. just look at it. [loooooooooooong story short... me and this lady (Mrs.Brenda was her name)
fought over this couch we both had our eye on [ at the Salvation Army] because she saw me grab the ticket and her friend ( Mr.Joe)
worked as the manager over the furniture department and was trying to give it to her..(until I asked to speak to the manager) Fuck that.. you know if I want something Im soooo gonna get it.. I fought hard for my couch.. tooth and nail... it was well worth it.. a $2,000 brand new couch , Italian made, for $150]
Why am I so proud and sensi about this couch? Because... not once did I snap, curse, lose my cool, or go off on the bitch. It was turning point in my life... not only to my commitment to living in the Apple... but also turning a new leaf and realizing .. throwing a temper tantrum does not solve all problems in life [not that I do that on the reg... but *BITCH* mode comes out quick when someone tries me or my patience gets shot].
Im growing up.
