Sista To The Distant

Aretha Franklin | Ain’t No Way (Live)

Oh, but how can I give you all the things I can,

if you’re tying both of my hands?

Don’t think that I don’t think about it.

So, I have the pleasure of following John Forte on Twitter and he tweeted a link to this cover of Lauryn Hill’s “Ex-Factor” performed by Mara Carlyle. Of course, naturally, I clicked on the link because I’m definitely here for anything Lauryn. This piece is so beautifully sung.

" May the space between where I am and where I want to be inspire me. "

I came outside to walk my dog just a minute ago and two cats walk by on the sidewalk. One of them proceeds to ask me, “Why do you look like that?” So, I asked, “Look like what?” He then says, “It’s a beautiful day, go for a walk or something.” Whether he was trying to be nice or flirt or not still perplexes me. However, I thought that I looked fine. I don’t need direction from a fella to take advantage of a beautiful day. I also don’t have to look a certain way to please you or to see that it is a nice day outside. I spend my days how I want to looking exactly the way that I want. That’s up to me to decide. Note to him and any other cat who sees a girl and makes a suggestion: That won’t get you her number or her respect.

How sad that all things come to an end.

But, then again, I’m not alone.

I can’t feel a thing.

Gary Clark Jr. - Numb

I’m in the light. I glow.

But you know not to touch me,

Cause it might burn,

If it don’t work.
