lately, i have been feeling disconnected.
academically, i have been slipping (aka- I’m about to graduate with my masters and the last thing i need is to read another damn book or turn in another assignment)
i have been feeling disconnected spiritually - i was at church last sunday and all i could think about is “WHY is there so much snow on the ground and WHEN is it going to be sunny?”
my family life is too hilarious. all i keep thinking is, “why did my mom wear that blue snuggie when she cursed that girl out?”
my <3 life is hilarious. all i keep thinking is, “sooner or later, he is going to realize that i am kfuck’n crazy.”
but all i had to do is sit down with these four girls - and life makes sense.
you ladies keep me grounded.

ever get that sick feeling when you walk into an empty parking lot and you notice that your car is missing?

first- confusion: ‘wtfuckery?! i parked my car here…’

second- apprehensive/anxious: ‘umm.. haha! umm haha! i parked somewhere else…’

third- anger: ‘UH UH! MUTHAFUCKA stole ma car! damn damn damn i hate chicago!’

fourth- despair: ‘aahhh shit shit shit shit shit i left my chinese food on the front seat, they gonna eat it! aahhhh dang my iPod was in there! Adele, dont steal my Adellleee!!’

fifth- shock/realization: ‘did my stupid ass park in an off limits parking spot?!’

sixth- sadness: ‘my car got towed, didnt it’

seventh- relief: ‘hallelluueerrrr, it isnt stolen!’

eighth- realization (again): ‘fuck, my car got towed.’

clutter.

i need to rid my life of clutter. call it what you may -

clutter of unproductive thought;

clutter of unnecessary drama (internal & external);

clutter of meaningless conversations/interactions that leave me thinking, ‘ugh, seconds i will never get back.’;

clutter of financial debt (i blame you, victoria’s secret & macy’s);

clutter of folks who take too much of my physical and mental power (yep, you!);

clutter of studying for shit that is either a) is not even necessary for the class, b) the dang professor is going to cover this in class, c) dangit im the only grad student who does all the reading, d) id rather be at the gym;

clutter of the clothes that dont fit anymore (cause they fall off my bodacious body - BAM! selfish plug)

.. i need to rid my life of it. even the things i disguise as necessary even when i know DAMN WELL it is clutter.. has to go. 

if u know me, u know i love to clean. time to start with my life.
