Christmas in Georgia: Ello ello ello ello feeling what some only know. Experiencing the beauty of mountain air from my birth place. Moo-moo’s and gallops exiting my block. And when I crank she roars down the windy country roads — I call her big red. One hand in the air if Christmas is your one excused day off. As young as yesterday, on the 5th floor I can see the world go around below me. There is no key to my game — Only dead fish swim with the stream. Your job is to make something happen. When they must do something and you are the best available champion, it’ll get done. To keep a handle on this I am anchored. One more week and I can take a nap for 15 minutes. This is not for commercial usage. I was just in the neighborhood and I thought this would be fun. Off to the races.
I found my four leaf clover,

My thoughts might be a gift. I will give them up. I can take the risk. Vitamin C’s up — Flintstone peddle daily. What I’m doing is necessary, I’ll take the journey and enjoy it for whatever it brings. We try so hard and we look so good. No wonder taste has been thrown into the shallow box. And when I recite Soulja Boy’s Ocean Gang Splash, I walk out with my hat to the back. I got it out of my system, I am a system and a test for myself. Heavily rooted in fantasy and the drama of human desire, I have a lot to learn. My attitude is a little Vick. “I believe everybody’s got there vices. But the crisis that provoked me to right this, I know the good I should do but I always do the opposite.” Word to Allen Stone.

Life’s my soul sista. Please darling do come out and play. Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? Captain pulled up the anchor to Rick James-Super Freak. I hadn’t seen the aqua view traveling, so we took the scenic route all the way to black. On the dock , they didn’t see me because I pulled up with my other friends. Last week I was in that barco with Grae and Katherine. New York, “I’ve had a hell of a summer, so don’t take this too hard.” But how many people do you know to take it this far? Imagine us bringing in the night motor boating with Marvin’s greatest doused in waves. We can take a priceless picture in this city–so cinematic, so cinematic. “Life can be so nice, it’s a wonderful world sweet paradise.”

Nothing draws a crowd like a crowd. Don’t let the funk pass you by. I don’t drive anymore, I’m just holding my i.d.–the passenger stallion. Young people are lost these days but the older ones dig me. They can’t clock my accent, I’m not attached to one city. It’s funny how Chardonnay can make our differences differ. We threw a party, yeah, we threw a party. People came over, yeah, we threw a party. Cheers to more than t-shirt time on Fridays nights. Wearing clothes is an overrated experience when you’re close to the beach. I’m just a girl, small bikinis are all I need on the ‘zero zero zero comma zero after zero’ quest to bring funds for my needs. We took the floor before the night was over. Not bad huh, for some southern kids? I may not have gone where I internded to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Georgia’s on my mind but the humid weather forced me back to the beaches. This is the internet, so why not be mobile? Move in silence. Try to lose them if you can. They call this venting. But I never share my thoughts, this is all I know. My uncle once told me, “shake all the bushes and look under all the rugs.” Although, it is very important what not to do. And sometimes even more important what to remember to forget. I digress. Now onto my next bush. It’s no fun just to look. And then I realized adventure is the best way to learn. I repeat this daily. Even on my beach excursions. Simple leisure mixed with a few obligations. Welcome to a family affair with daily recreation and tea over ocean front views. My elders reside here where Florida begins. Clear skies, silk tops, and blue sleeves; It’s ocean drive inspired with surf dudes keeping me in the shade, totally. –>Inside Story
A dazzling summer centerfold for the young sunbather. Welcome to a climate where truth is heard and every photos are ocean glow perfecto. It’s a winner when you introduce yourself with distance and goodbyes end with hugs. “Many people are on their way to heaven, but very few are enjoying the trip.” I’m going to take my time and do it how I want. (In my most masculine voice for the boys who can’t take it.) I’m a little selfish to have my skin glow and smell like a vacation; Could you blame me? Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. This modern nomad found a new lily pad with bags of impact. Watch me leap in a month — wanderlust. You have to show no fear. Set your parameters and stick to them. The last stretch for home base will be an instant statement.

Okay let’s talk about you, then more about me, then end with me. I keed, I keed But honestly, I don’t make plans and I don’t make breakfast. What I do enjoy is something that stands outs from the standard design, which is what I found going downtown. The world looks so much better through my sunglasses. Do you see what I see? This is not dramatized or on a closed course. So here’s a toast to my first summer in three years away from New York. You see, “regret and fear are the twin thieves who rob us of today.” We must play in the sunshine. Oh the luxury of being five minutes from the beach where no one knows my name — And then I realized adventure is the best way to learn.
+ A dazzling summer centerfold exploring the many islands of Chucktown coming pronto.
