1, 2 3. My grandma's garden

4. My (5x) losing Bingo card

5. Family photos

6. The families that were present to make the reunion a success

Labor day weekend consisted of road trips, family reunions and go kart racing! Needless to say, it was a good time all around. I can't believe that September is here already; this year is moving so fast.

( SIDE NOTE: I haven't straightened my hair since June. Funny how I'm apprehensive about straightening it now, when just months ago it was the norm. )

Hey x KING, Just Feels Right

Just feels right. 

Artist Alex Reyes presents his visual take on Jay Z's constant mention of artists on his latest record, Magna Carter Holy Grail. In his own words Reyes describes, “We get it, you can wipe your ass with hundred dollar bills, but sorry Jay, you’re neither ‘the new Jean-Michel’ or ‘the modern day Pablo Picasso.’ If said artists could return the favor and include you in their work though, it might look something like this.”

Brilliant.

50th Anniversary of the March on Washington



my problems are so small. I will not complain. 

words on a page

the relationship we never had

mutual friends

cool with mom and dad

reminiscing on the past

... because

you

have

a

past

full of memories that last and last.

while your and my tale was never really written

a rough draft

a sequel, with no real beginning

never made it to print

thrown in the "no" pile

all the while

still craving her smile

the one that could never do any wrong

despite all the sins you spoke of

you always were the type to prefer thrillers over romantic comedies

like the romantic comedy,

or thought of you and me

but there was that one time you laughed.
