a country of my own...

post thad cockrell show a week ago i have not been able to get these lyrics out of my mind... what a comfort and exciting adventure...

i've been searching for a country of my own
when i see her face i know i'll finally be home
full of mystery and kept surprises
a vast expanse a rich man pays between she sympathises
looking for a country of my own

i've been searching for a place that i might stand
i've been looking for a promised land
i've been shouting from the mountain top
but the frequencies are jammed
i've been searching for a place that i might stand

but when i am asked about this situation
of where it is i've been and where i'm bound
i've got no home i've got no home
but i've got a destination

i've been searching for a country of my own
i've been looking for a place that ill never feel alone
everyday is met with new horizons
a city where you meet no strangers a place you need no home
i'm just searching for a country of my own

when i'm asked about this situation
of where it is i've been and where i'm bound
i've got no home i've got no home i've got no home
but i've got a destination

coming up for air...

post moving back to georgia... i been unable to come up for air ... check out what really goes on and get into the world of music and concerts... so this thursday marks the end of that season... and a launching into the season of exploring these different niches in atlanta...

i also will be starting my masters in about 16ish days... i am ready to don the backpack and hit the books. i will be studying technology... making robots and programing things... learning the business side of things and enhancing the educational side too. let the school bell ring.

A Weekend With friends and family ...

a few from the houses/tree house where my mom grew up...



my maxine... she looks great and is doing better than ever... besided the huge void of my grandfather (maxine, me)

an old fashion girls friend ... three generations (me, winnie, mom)

oh my winnie ... such a fixture of knowledge (winnie and mom)



Such a dear friend...


mom's godmother, grey (grey, mom)

a weekend with June's best friend is on the horizon...

so this weekend i will be headed to spend the weekend with my grandmothers very best friend, winnie. i have been hoping for this weekend ... well just about all my life.

winnie is a kindred spirit... while she is fully in her 80s i believe she would do just about anything still... she still lives on the lake down from the house my mom grew up in. i mean so much nostalgia I MIGHT JUST explode.

most importantly she loved my grandmother june for whom i am named after. while i was just 1 when she passed away i have been told my entire life that i remind people of her.

both of these women were bold and great women of there times and winnie has continued to be relevant and not lose her character and womenly nature.

I AM SO EXCITED!

more to follow...

new year ... new workout...

so i have been a usually at the gym here in God's Country... aka dacula for the past few months... sometimes hitting up a spin class or doing the pre-cor con revista o libro (with a magazine or book)...

BUT today on the kick of of TOUGH $#@*... i decided it would also be the day for BOOTCAMP. WOW... i currently cannot move my body because of EXHAUSTION... i think this is going to be a great class but it is definitly going to rocky at the start...

the instuctor said walking in the door was the hardest step... i beg to differ... the monkey drills... 400 + squats... and weight lifting are a sure contradiction to that statement.

here is to 2009.
