I love Howard. I don’t say it enough. I just feel like the kinds of people that inspire me on a daily basis I wouldn’t be able to find anywhere else.

Oh, and I went to Barnes and Noble today and got two books. I initially went to get a book by Michael Eric Dyson, but they didn’t have the one I wanted. I liked what I bought though. The first one is called Why Are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria? by Beverly Daniel Tatum. I’m halfway through it and it’s pretty interesting. I identify with alot of the ideas mentioned, but that’s a whole other post. The other book is called Losing The Race by John McWhorter. I’m excited for that one. It’s funny how I’m not even interested in the same types of books I was when I was in middle/high school. I used to want read realistic fiction for teenagers, you know like the drugs/abuse/romance themes. Now I’m really interested in reading about Black people, lol…where we’ve been, where we are, and where we’re going. I should probably credit that to Howard, too.

I'm going back to Barnes and Noble tomorrow. I was going to get a moleskine notebook just for free write, but then I decided I was going to go over my budget, so I didn't need it. But I do though. It's going to be my life notebook. I have too many things I need to do. If I want to save the world AND become a scholar, I need to organize how I'm going to do it.

The beginning of my day was bad, but it ended on a good note.

My weekend was.....eventful? Yeah, that's the word.

It's rare that I have a moment when I feel like talking someone's ear off. Just laying with them and chatting about simple things or having a heart to heart.

But when that moment comes, no one is really around to share it with me.
