This is where I write what I feel.

On that historical note
Wednesday, January 28, 2009

So as the world welcomes America's first (very sexy) African American president, I decide to follow the advice of a man who I respect very very much ( that's a shout out to Jacob Sam La Rose) and put myself "out there" by setting up this blog so that I can make my presence felt.
Mostly though I finally got my butt down to it because I think it will help keep me writing. Amidst the administrative paperwork that is really almost 40% of my 'dynamic' job, most days I feel completely uninspired to put anything down on paper, and when I do, I scribble it in my trusty notebook which then faithfully preserves it between its covers.
Maybe this will add some sort of rigour. Not poetry exactly but at least it will give me a space to write about what I think about poetry, what I've read , what I'm up to.

I'm working on a new collection this year, and I'm pretty excited about the concept because it allows me to get out there and talk to people and listen to their stories. And I feel like I'm gaining as much creative input as I'm expecting myself to churn out.

On another note, I've started working out. *shocked gasps and faints all around* yeah yeah I know...but hey you know the metabolism is no longer what it used to be and fabulosity comes at a price. So I was hardcore today 6 km on the treadmill. Yesterday I did almost 8km...
YAY ME!

So there you go, my very post to get me started and I've got to thank Michael for this beautiful artwork and layout. Took you some time, but you did brilliant!
YAY Michael..

So I'm posting a poem a day...just something that made the hair on the back of my neck stand or made everything around me stand still for a bit, something I'm in the midst of writing, or just a few words that made my tummy do that swirly thing it does.
But here we go people...
whenever anybody tells me I won't keep this up...YES I CAN.
