Writings on the wall: Drink to the beat of your own drum

I sat in a bar where the drinks were cheap and it's patrons, cheaper
Dubstep in Virginia isn't like it is at home. The beats here aren't as high off coke as they are back in NY. 
o_o or maybe it's the DJs who aren't as high, :-\ #unsolvedmysteries. It's disappointing.

Last night, I heard a faint cry of my name through the electric yell of Skrillex & Nero's "Promises". 
Is it possible for music to pick up on your energy? 
I felt as if it recognized my spirit
As if it knew that I was the fist-pump hungry, Brooklyn girl who was dying to flail her arms.
It recognized me. Maybe even knew me and wanted to hug me ..but that never happened. 
So I took a shot of Cuervo, downed a Long Island Iced Tea and ran into the ocean. Fully Clothed.
Looked at my cousin, & said convincly,  "I'm Not Crazy". 
then I drove home. wet. covered in sand.

Writings on the wall: Moment of Clarity

{plastic has covered this couch for over 20 years ..no lie}
  
My morning routine {outside of grooming} consists of prayer, finding an album to jam and TEA.
I'm usually a green tea gal but, sadly, I'm all out. 
I thought I'd have to submit to Lipton {the, bleh, black kind} this AM 
but to my surprise we had ginger Yogi Tea in the pantry ^.^ woop! 
{I'll take anything over black tea. It's way too bitter. & I'm not a sugar person.}
The ginger's actually really good though, and spicy. & I love how each tea bag comes with a quote. 
Today's bag said: 
to learn, read. to know, write. to master, teach.

I'm still in Virginia, retreating in my grandparent's Earthy abode, currently listening to American Gangster.
I've been here for about two months now and surprisingly it doesn't feel like Forever. 
I do miss my city though {like jones in my bones bad} but VA's been doing the damn thang as far as helping me to clear my mind. & I'm way more enthusiastic about creating, which is what I wanted most of all.

What's up for Memorial Weekend though??
Come out here! Lets hit the  B E A C H! :)
