Some days like today… I really want to get Far Away. Figuratively and Literally.

I love this song and these lines represent my life so much it is not even funny:

I wanna do the things we used to do.

Say the things we used to say.

Just like everyday, all day….

I don’t wanna forget all the love we captured the day we met.

We both keep saying that we wish that we could go back to those days when we played with each other just because. The days when we stayed up all night having a philosophical discussion or bummed around all day playing Zelda, only getting up to eat and go to the bathroom. Where did those days go? They nearly seem like a fading shadow in the field. You know I do not have a good memory anyway so I am trying to hold on to whatever I can.

On days like today, I sit in the rocking chair in my children’s room (by the way, why are they still cleaning up… it has been an hour!) and I listen to one of my favorite songs by Kindred the Family Soul. After listening to it about five times, watching the video two times and writing some of my thoughts… I am feeling a lot more calm than I was an hour ago. Breathe in Breathe out.

Dear Missnexus.com readers,
Right now, Fox News is trying to paint Barack Obama as foreign, un-American, suspicious, and scary. They’re trying to send Americans the message that our country’s first viable Black candidate for President is not “one of us.”
I’ve joined on to ColorOfChange.org’s campaign to push back on Fox, publicly demanding they stop their race-baiting [...]
