Hello all you CyberBoys and CyberGirls!!!

So Brandon introduced me to Janelle Monae a while ago...or more like I stole her from his myspace page. But I ordered her cd online a couple of weeks ago and it came in the mail yesterday. I love it...The sound isn't like anything you've ever heard before...I promise you. Its like she takes the uniqueness of OutKast and mixes it with the creativity and riskiness of Kelis...She definitely statisfied my craving for something new and different.
Anyways...
So Brandon's been on me about not blogging....sorry sorry sorry, but I've been so busy plotting my return to Chi. I have 10 days left here...not a long time. The nervousiness is disappearing more and more every day and the excitement is growing. I'm learning to breathe and just let things work themselves out.
I know that i"m gonna miss Delaware tho...the smell of the dirt, grass and trees...the sound of crickets and woodpeckers...it's something I've kinda fell in love with over time. Its apart of me. Tonight I was sitting outside with my friend Joel and I was just listening...relaxing. It's what I do to get away....take a walk in a park...or drive through the valley. I was talking to him about how people just need to slow down and really live life...how many people just rush through and they shouldn't. There's so much around, so much to do and see....so much to hear. How could you not enjoy something so beautiful. There was a groundhog in my backyard yesterday munching on an apple that had fallen from the tree and I sat and watched the whole time. I mean it was something so amazing to see...yet something that could have easily been missed.
I guess the moral to all this is that sometimes we just need to stop for a moment and let life sink in.
