In All Seriousness...
2011 was difficult for a lot of people that I love dearly. So much loss and heartbreak and sadness, it was difficult to remember anything good about the last 12 months. Then I thought about it and I thought of all the good that came from some of these tragedies.
Challenges. Tears. Sadness. Loss. Heartbreak. Pain.
And from that came
Hope. Joy. Focus. Strength. Kindness. Love.
The Siwe...
Somebody asked me what the cut off bit on my...

This is where the stuff goes. All the rambling and mumbling and the focusing on the wrong things and the wondering and the wandering and the not quite and the trying to get there and the doing the best I can. This is where it all goes. It’s going to be a mess. Welcome to BasseyWorld.

Peep this part though:
I realized that I was letting fear dictate my movement instead of love. I was afraid of doing or not doing. I was afraid of being and not being. I was using that fear as motivation but I forgot one important thing about me; love moves me. Loving to write. Loving to share stories. Loving to tell stories. Wanting to share my experiences in order to create connections and...
Repost: Happy Birthday, B! (or 35 I need to know...
I’m going through posts from 2011. I didn’t blog very much at my wordpress blog. Too much felt and no desire to put it out there for the world to ruminate on. This was one of my favorites. I think I’m going to print it out and put it on the bookshelf to the right of my work desk. I need to see it and look at it and focus on it and remember all of it.

The italicized stanza is on my 2012 vision board. This whole poem is magical but it also encapsulates a lot of 2011 for me and some very dear friends. So ring out the old, indeed.

The book I’m reading is about things and for reasons, it’s reminding me of this random ass dude. When I say ”random ass dude”, I mean it in every sense of the word. Besides the character in the book sharing a similar occupation (Okay, the exact occupation) and the physical similarities down to the fucking height— and well, the woman in the book is a writer who is...
Excuse me for stating the obvious....

but Les Twins > > > > > > Chris Brown
I was looking at videos of CB today. He’s good, but he’s not fucking with my twins!
Without fucking question! I remember a few months ago some Les Fans were tweeting Chris Brown and saying he should dance with the twins. Please. Chris Brown ole heavy footed self can’t deal with that type of ego crushing.

Random Thoughts: Things That Happened While I was...
Discovered that my local library has e-books now.
Went to said local library and got myself a new library card.
Got one for E too.
He’s nowhere near as excited as I would like him to be.
I’m afraid that I’m not passing down my love of reading properly.
Oh well.
I went to a plastic surgeon for a consult.
I’m totally having plastic surgery.

That Daniel Henney gif though...
I literally spilled tea on myself when I saw it. I’m flustered as hell like he goes to my school and I”m going to have to see him tomorrow in the hall.
Ramble: Note For theNew Year
Dear Bassey,
Every day is a new year but for the ceremony and the
Pageantry, allow yourself a resolution or 12:
This new year Is about defining what you want and going after it.
Be kind. Be courteous. Be compassionate.
But also, be fearless. Be bold. Be brave.
To me, fearlessness and bravery are not the same thing. The inform each other but often we choose to be one over the other,...

I swear Larry and Laurent always have me liking some ratchet ass songs because I hear them for the first time when they dance to it. Next thing you know, I’m walking around the house “Left cheek, right cheek, left cheek, right cheek”.
I’m way too old to be singing Booty Wurk and twirking it around the house.

Unfucking Just Got Real
*standing in the kitchen admiring my handiwork; my father walks up behind me*
Daddy: Wow! That looks great!
Me: (not thinking) Yeah, dude... I totally unfucked the shit outta this kitchen.
*silence*
Daddy: I don't care to know your weird methods of accomplishing things. Tell your mother you used Pine-Sol.

Archive: 2010, Run away fast as you can
Each new year, I write a letter saying good bye to the previous year. I have no idea what I want to say to 2011. Went looking for what I said to 2010 and found it interesting so I thought I’d repost it.

Dear 2010,
Unlike most of my relationships, we started out rocky. There was no honeymoon period. There was no pedestal to place you on. No, magic to the moment you entered my life....
People say it all the time and I say, “oh no. That’s not true. My twitter followers are great!” Wrong. 5% of you are cool. The other 95% suck ass.
And now watch me get a tweet about how I’m disparaging people who actually do suck ass. I hate you all.
Based on what I post, what would you get me for...

Off your ass.
unfuckyourhabitat:
Go clear off the surface of your coffee table, end table, or kitchen counter. Don’t have any of those? Go clear off your dresser top or nightstand. You can come back in 10 minutes.
Up.
Off your ass.
Ready?
Set?
Unfuck.
I need to hire this person to come unfuck my entire life. Um… pause. I’d probably be on my 8th book if we’d met earlier. Let’s...
Comment I just left on my post over at XOJane...
Yeah. “monsters” is really harsh and unnecessary. I don’t believe in perpetuating things in the name of “magic”. Kids have plenty of imagination and play act and pantomine all the time. This isn’t something I really like getting into because the “illusion” is so elaborate. Plus, I know MY kid and MY kid will be absolutely hurt when he finds...
When a friend or loved one wants to leave, you have to let them go.
Just need to remind myself of that before the hurt feelings descend.

Get up.

Look around. Find five pieces of trash. Throw them away. Sit back down and get back to your very busy Internet life.
This tumblr is why I’ve been on a cleaning rampage as of late. The tips are so helpful. I actually got on my hands and knees and scrubbed my bathroom floor but I took everything in sections and took plenty of breaks.
When I was a kid, cleaning meant...

Random artist: Oh my God! Dude. Andre 3000, you're my favorite MC. I would love for you to do a guest verse on my song!
Andre3K: Cool. Here you go.
Random artist: Uh...Oh. Uh. Thank you but don't you want to hear the song or find out what it's about, first?
Andre3K: Nope.
