It's official.  I am going going back back to CALI CALI...

I moved here with a friend just about 3 years ago and it will almost be to the day when I am move back.  We packed up our cars and drove across the country - well Los Angeles to Atlanta.  I love it here.  I like the seasons, the atomosphere... the people.  I like the woman that I am becoming and I have done alot of growing up. and learned alot about myself - not all pretty.  Folks like tot party down here for real.  Atlanta has been great and this is rather bittersweet but it is for the best.  The world is a very different place these days.  I am in a better place in my skin but my economics are too.  The economy is bad everywhere - yes but how deep are you willing to go when help is available.  PRIDE - ASIDE. There are so many different things going on around us and wer are so blessed if we do not have to go through it alone.  I have been unemployed for almost 6 months and things have gotten tight (extremely).  I have been blessed to have my pt gig at DSW but it is not enough by any means.  ive done lots and I look/ apply all the time and for almose everything.  I am above nothing... humbled.  I dont want to settle nbut than nothing. So, instead of giving up - I am giving in.  And maybe I am not suppose to be here anymore or my time is up for right now.  Try another market, get my head and my heart together - hug my mama whenever I am feeling discouraged.I need my support system.  So, home is where the heart is and it should begin to heal.  It's very bittersweet but it should be a blessing.

so hella california: nostalgic

I really like Atlanta but I love Los Angeles. After all they say home is where the heart is right?  Well let me take you on a ride and share my heart (home) with you. You see in CALIFORNIA - we got a differnt swag. A couple of months ago, I had the opportunity to go to the Goodie Mob Reunion Concert and it was hot.  I listedn to all the people be inlove with their city and all that it had once had to offer.  It was one of those nostalgic moments of yesteryear.  You could feel the love for Atlanta and the energy. It was like the first time I heard Cruisin Down the Street in my 64... or when Chronic came out or anytime I hear California Love or I Got Five On It - yes...  I look forward to the California set at the club or outing.  So here is remembering when.  sit back. relax and read.
