#Frotober Day 03: HOTD aka Hair of the Day

Standard

A hard-earned dry #braidout, with Carol’s Daughter Healthy Hair Butter, from a 3 day old #WnG

“Later that day … “

Whomp whomp whomp!! Lol!! Not quite the #braidout I left the house with this morning.
But, I really don’t mind my hair getting all “swoll!”

 (p.s. But I do mind the 3 hour long dry detangling session with SSKs and TSK [two-strand knots – how come no one ever talks about those … they don’t even get an official acronym!]. I cut out so many knots *smdh*. Love my natural curls and big hair, but can’t stand the consequences of a WnG anymore!)

#30writenow … welcome to my mind

Standard

by Weusi

yesterday shelli mentioned an old friend of mine so today i looked up her tweets …

in fact … i just looked at a link from one of her tweets today and she said that for the month of octoober she’s writing for 30 minutes for 30 days … and yes, we both know that there are 31 days in october but we also know that no one wants to write on halloween …

i was like ok, i want to write more. i’m gonna do the same thing.

i don’t really know what i’m writing about … so welcome to my mind ….
today will be some free thinking, verse, improve, stuff …

free …
like the wind … and powerful too
but like water, my thoughts are monetized
co-opted by capitalist thoughts …
my own thoughts …”i’m more than gifted. i’m special beyond logic. how can i capitalize from on my gifts? and give back? i gotta give back.”
like water to earth. ya know …

earth holds water … water rises to clouds … falls back to earth … water nourishes life … water finds itself contained … free water makes someone rich …
it’s a cycle … right … ???
wrong or left …
being wrong was not an option … because being wrong is equated with not doing something right and because i’m clear that as a child of god, i will always do things right for me … at the time … and since i work hard to be better than good …i’ll say
left …
when i was younger, i played soccer/foootball … on the left side …
i started playing defense … the coach wanted me to play on the left side …
i wanted to become a left footed soccer player.
i moved to left wing … then to left center half
i wanted to be the best. i figured that i was already right handed and was better than many on my right side so developing my left side would make me great. i started to try to write and eat like lefty … my parents just thought that my hand writing was bad … they didn’t know i was writing with my left hand. (now they do). i did al kinds of things that i could in order to try to develop my left side.
but then my football aspirations started interfering with my school work …
and i almost flunked out of school/left behind in school …

haha … my mind just shifted to the words behind or school … when i think of the word behind i think of women’s backsides … behinds … i think i’ll build on the word school instead …

school … education … academia … the streets … value … balance … community … class-ism … elitism … humility … smarts … wisdom … teachers … students … classrooms … lessons … experience … time … thought … logic … creativity … options … choices … share …

hair … shelli … hairscapades.com … i love her … i need to write more for the site so that shee can write less … and we can share more time together …
anyway …

i’m done writing i’m gong to spend time with shelli … ’cause yeah … i love her … and you should know this … the same way you know water is wet …

this is fun and feels uncomfortable simultaneously … i might really do this thing for 30 days … i might not post them all but … i’ll let you read some of them. i think i really like to write with more clarity in my vision but this free writing is fun …
