Poem of the Day

You give me joy when pain is all I see.
You laugh so contaigiously it makes me stop crying.
You love with all your heart and I can tell the way
you know when I am upset and are determined to make it right.
you talk to me and stay by my side even when I (and I will) snap at you.
you hold my hand and grab a bat when we are scared.
you cry when you know I am gone.
Just the way you love me little brother!!!

So hello world again. It is so beautiful in this world. The fog that covers an area in the break of day and the warmth that engulfs people in the setting of night. I just love the scenery. I hear people everywhere talking about the "big" topic "HATERS." Everyone wants one and everyone wants to talk about them. Well I don't lets talk about lovers about the love that is given to you everyday. Not that you have to have a significant other but what about your family. Lets spread the word about love because many people are forgetting about it. Hate does not fuel my day Love does. The love I get from the two that mean the most fuels me to keep going if I am in the deepest of deep GRAY!!!! And you know there is no such thing as hate because as Erykah Badu said " There are only two emotions humankind experience fear and love." -DEAL WITH IT!!!!!!!

So I have had this inspiration bug. I have just written two poems off the top of my dome. I am so inspired by all of Maya Angelou's autobiography books and things I see everyday. I wrote these poems on my own and in my head. I realize I have not had two poem of the days but today is special. Today I had the inspiration to do it. And when you got that feeling you just have to let it all out. Inspiration comes once in a life time. Especially for me when I am trying to write great poems that have true meaning. You can never force a good poem out. It just has to come to you and these two did. So I hope you enjoy. That's all for today.


Always Laughing Luna B,

Poem of The Day

You stand by my side whispering my sweet definition
You look into my eyes blinded by the many lies
You steer me to the path of your choosing
You ask not if I am okay
You give me the joy of knowing where I am going
You give me the pleasure of knowing your every thought
You ask not if I am okay
You step in the way of danger
You sweep me off my feet
You take care of everything
You ask not if I am okay
You give me thee joy of not having to think
You grace me with things to do to please only you
You define me and you
You ask me not if I am okay

Poem of The Day

Validation


I need no validation
I validate my own parking
I need no valet directing me where to go
I steer my own path
I need no validation
I define myself for myself
My definition is not to satisfy any one's needs but my own
I need no dictionary telling me who I am
I tell myself everyday who I am
I need no validation
I validate my own parking.

Sporadic Quotes

"I Validate my Own Parking"

Quoted by Luna B.

Home

I am about to leave the place I have called home for over ten years. It is not about the town, or the houses I have lived in. It is about my family. The people I have been with my whole life who make up the place I have called home. People are mistaken when they say home is everywhere. No home is the people you love and you connected and intertwined in a web of love. A home is what I have had all my life no matter what house we were in, no matter what apartment we were in, and no matter what I did I always had a home. I still have a home I am just leaving it physically. I will still have it no matter where I go because I am always loved unconditionally by my family.


This is for my family who I soon must physically leave. I will always love you guys!!!

Always with you Luna B,

OK so new thing told to me: "Your name is Luna B and you are a lover not a fighter." That was told to me by my mother while I was trying to wrestle my brother. I know I have less upper body strength but what blow she through by saying that. I actual can get upper body strength but only when I am angry or very focused. I don't like fighting and pretty much was the weird girl in school on purpose so people would not mess with me. Oh but trust if anyone hit me I would have attacked. I am known to not play fair because of my petite body and my lack of upper body strength. So I even the playing field by fighting with anything in my reach. I however, have swore never ever never ever ever grab some one's hair. That is A. Stupid, B. Dangerous, and C. I would kill someone if they did that to me and I wouldn't want anyone to kill me so yeah.

I got out of my funk today and did some stuff I have been wanting to do. I got rid of old email accounts got new GMail accounts and got a twitter. I really do not want to use like everyone else. I just want to put quotes that are inspirational to me on there and that is ALL. I also discovered that I am going to keep building up inventory for my crocheting business and prepare the world for that. I love crocheting, writing poetry, and painting so that is what I am going to do to keep sane. I am also going to keep on towards my dream and goal of becoming a Marine Biologist. Nothing can stop me form that. I will help in others' research and be in the lab doing what I love best being challenged.

Well that is it for now.

Sporadic Quotes

"Hope for the best. Prepare for the worst. And never expect anything."

Quote from "A Song Flung To Heaven" By: Maya Angelou.

Poem of the Day

This is a Conversation between the two sides of me. The Right and Left Side of my brain:


"Pick One"- Lady B
"Pick what?" -Luna B
"Pick a word" -Lady B
"A word to say to the people?" - Luna B
" Yes" -Lady B
"Just one word?" -Luna B
"I choose undefinable...I choose this word because that is how I feel about everything I am and everything in general. I feel words are too small and too overused.

One word....One word I choose...I choose undefinable!!!"- Luna B

Sporadic Quotes

"Do or Do Not There is No Try"


Quote by Yoda/ My mommy told me that one time.

Poem of the Day

This poem was inspired by older woman and words written that I just happened to spot:

I rise but my heart sags low.
I love but my soul is worn.
I have joy but my eyes are sore.
I laugh but my days are few.
I live everyday with no regret.
I laugh and keep smiling even though my days are few, my soul is worn, my heart sags, because the good out weighs the bad.
The good: I love, I live, have joy and rise everyday!!!

What a fabolous day it is turning out to be. I am filled with contentment. I have had a break through again with my family life and myself. I realized that my mother is correct I have always tried to be my brother's mother and he already has one. I guess its so easy to want to have that power and let him know no matter what I got you. Plus I have always been preparing for the worse and I wanted to make sure I could take care of him even though my mother never wanted me to give up so much of my life. I realize that I am a good sister I just have to stop trying to be the mother he already has. WOW What a break through right?!?

I also have cleaned up my room. Whenever something is off in my life or there is something to learn my mind goes crazy and my room looks a hot mess. Well when I have break throughs and learn the lesson I clean my room and it looks great. It looks great despite the fact I have my luggage and totes in it. I organized the ones that are packed and ready to go. While the other two are waiting to be filled. One is going to meet its end today while the other won't be until we leave.

I am not ready to go but I know I have to go. I really am excited about it but I know I am going to miss my family terribly. This is just a change we have to make together and understand that the family does not change and the place we call home does not change only the presence of one person changes. So Yeah!!! A Change is gonna Come- This is one of my favorite songs. I like Al Green version the best. The soulfulness of his voice and the meaning of the song is overwhelmingly powerful. It makes me want to rise up and cry every time I listen to it.

Well That is all for now!!!

Sporadic Quotes



"Life is tragic simply because the earth turns and the sun inexorably rises and sets, and one day, for each of us, the sun will go down for the last, last time"

Quote from James Baldwin "The Fire Next Time"

Poem of the Day

This poem was written when I was in a state of pure anger and resentment:

You want me to smile and say everything is fine.
You want me to ask but not mean it.
You want it to be so easy for us.
Well its NOT!
Life is not easy and neither is any relationship.
I am supposed to look up to you but I don't.
I am supposed to respect you but I don't.
You're supposed to care but you don't.
You are supposed to be here but you're not.

  • Wow these days of waiting to leave for college have been crazy and pretty horrible. I have more than five days until I leave and I have already packed up most of my stuff. Its not because I am ready to leave but because it is by force of habit. I have a habit of putting pressure on myself saying the day is sooner than it really is. So I can prepare early. Its sort a way to push away my inherited trait from my mother of procrastinating.

  • Guess what? I saw SALT. It was awesome. Angelina Jolie is really the greatest actress for action movies. The only other person I saw do a good job was the lady from UnderWorld. Speaking of UnderWorld the most awesomiest action movie. UnderWorld is one the best story/movie about vampires and werewolves The other best one was the movie with Brad Pitt the movie title slips my mind but when I remember it I will share its glory.. Twilight's story is unbelievable I mean truly stupid and The Gates and TrueBlood is Tv so it is always going to fall short. Anyways SALT totally awesome. I am so going to but that bad boy on dvd.


  • Oh and I have been reading Maya Angelou's Autobiography series and it has been giving me the keys of wisdom I need. They are truly great stories and I usually hate autobiographies really biographies period. They are usually boring and have a way about them to be lacking a way to reach me as an audience member. Maya Angelou tells a story I can listen to and understand. I can comprehend what she is saying and take a minute while I process the whole meaning of the story. It really has been mind blowing reading her story.

Well thats it for now.

  • So I went to see two recent movies that were totally awesome. They were: Dinner for Schmucks and The Other Guys. Both classic comedies. They both were hilarious kept me and my family laughing. The Other Guys was a little different then most movies Will Ferrell is in but still hilarious. I loved both movies and want to own them.

  • I also have been working on this big crochet project is supposed to be a scarf/shawl. It is taking awhile because it so big. My mother is making me at the same time read 10 books before I leave home. All of the books are classics that most black woman/ young ladies should read. Such books as: I Know Why The Cage Bird Sings, The Heart of a Woman, The Bluest Eyes, The Eyes Were Watching God, and etc... She wants to me not only know the gists of the understanding of the books which I already do but know the books. So Yah me. I just got through the first book and it was not a bad read. It is the I know Why the Cage Bird Sings. It was an excellent book but very sad which is why I had to see two new comedies to keep me smiling. It had many messages that I am still interpreting and trying to get the gist of. Most of the messages are very powerful and make you think just like the other book I just read The Fire Next Time by James Baldwin. Although The Fire Next Time for me was more of an essay and took me longer to read and get the messages. I understand why my mother wants me to read these books but I wish she would have given them to me earlier in the summer. I would have knocked out most of them and had many discussions with her about the meanings to me. Right now I am just trying to hurry up so she won't be upset.

Well that is all for now.

YO YO

Well I tried the organized and civilized way of doing this blog and you know what I am changing it up AGAIN. I know I change every few times but it because like this blog I am finding myself. I am seeing what I like and dislike and writing a post everyday about critiques and such is not what I like it gives me no excitement. So I am going off the dome from now on. No more planning and preparing. I do that enough in life this time I am sporadic on that. Yeh Yahr. Slang on paper and in typing just does not work. So here it is me unprepared and unorganized. I know there aren't people really reading this but I am and I am going to make it something I like to read.
