Back in good ole Texas

Been back in good ole Texas now for one week. Getting used to those temperatures and all. It's still soo hot now even though it's the end of the month. The flight was pretty usual, I flew on September 12th because the 11th was freaky.. Then of course my afterthought was that I was being pretty silly about all this superstition and what ifs and stuff. I kind of laughed uncomfortably to myself thinking "nah that didn't bother me".

I find that I am noticing to many negative things in the world. I want to get down to some positive vibes you know. So, I guess during my time here in Houston I am gonna do as many positive things as I can think of doing. So to begin, I am staying between my three sisters houses. It's pretty cool cause we all get together and sing old children's songs and laugh at each other. It's so funny because they all live like 5 to 10 minutes from each other. It's cool too because we all see each other and the children pretty often. I did a little Tae Bo with my youngest sister and well I felt bow tied after all that kikin and stuff. My God I felt like I ran 26 miles or somethin' One of my other sisters is pregnant for the first time and she's all giddy and excited and just brimming with the joy of A new life. She like calls me all the time talkin' bout "Song, you should see my stomach today". It's so funny. My other sister has decided to go back to college and take some courses and I think that's real cool. In any case we have all been bonding here in Houston, feeling like 10 year old kids again. I loved that.

But I tell you what it's so hot I just can't get over it. I had forgotten the heat and all the humidity. It makes you just want to get down and ...... Now ya'll betta git out the guttah.

Anyway, it's funny to be back in pop culture so much t.v. I love t.v. I used to watch all the time. But, now I think I just don't like the choices. I can't believe what people would do to be on TV. It's just plain mind boggling for me. I see that all the music channels play the same songs after a while. I see that there still are lots of commercials for losing weight and we have such high rates of obesity, even in my family. There are all these reality shows I am just amazed.

I wonder how many people really understand the issues in the upcoming election. It's not not like I even know all of the issues but I think it's pretty weird that MTV has to tell us to vote. We should just do it. We should feel obligated to do our part to make our country into what we would like them to be. But, once again I am living in my own little world of what if's. For the meantime I'm gonna just keep chillin' with my sisters and nieces and nephew and brother in laws. We are gonne keep on lovin' each other and holding each other up. Peace ya'll...........Song
