since a lot of my notes seem to be very cynical and in some cases spark a bit of a controversy, here's one that was written on a much lighter note...it's a few of my favorite things that make me smile every once in a while...I love...
Hotdog stand hotdogs with everything
Snow, only if I don’t have to drive in it
The intimacy of poetry cafes, and outside bistros
Local artists, before the industry has had a chance to turn them out
Clubs that have that urban underground feel…(ie. Django, MJQ’s)
Reading in the parkT
aking in the art museum alone…it’s really not a social affair in my opinion
Getting compliments on the days when I think I look like shit
Supreme New York style pizza
Conscious rap
Finishing a crossword puzzle
Painting in the middle of the night to the sound of jazz and rain
Hearing the kind of harmony that puts butterflies in your stomach; usually the bridge of a song…my musicians know what I’m talking about.
Finding jeans or a dress that fits like a glove
Listening to family stories
Going to the beach in the morningL
aw and order marathons
Attending ceremonial milestones (i.e. weddings, graduations, baby showers, baptisms etc).
Candid pictures
Inside jokes
Bazaars, yard sales, thrifts shops and vintage stores
Having somebody else wash my hair…it just feels so much better
Homemade gifts…cards made by my students, poems, etc..they’re just more heartfelt to me
SurprisesFall foliage travelingPay days!!!
Good movies
Finishing a good book
South American, British and South African accents
Proving someone wrong in an argument
hearing the lyrical genius of SOME rap and spoken word
Learning something new about ancient history, psychology, politics or space
when I cook and people go back for seconds :-)
seeing a man be affectionate with his kids
hearing a really good sermon
intellectual conversations
procrasinating and then getting all the work done last minute and not only is it the best material then, but it feels so good to be done when you procrasinate lol
writing random shit all the time obliviously
....so what are some of your favorite things?
