“One person’s crazyness is another person’s reality” – Tim Burton

Alice in Wonderland is AWESOME by the way. I left feeling child-like, open to anything, and inspired. A must see.

What no wife of a writer can ever understand is that a writer is working when he’s staring out of the window. ~Burton Rascoe

I think this could easily go for husbands too!

I feel like I need to write. It’s an itching, restless feeling in my heart that I get when I’m not writing. However when this feeling occurs I am usually too drained and tired from the day’s activities to do anything to satisfy this urge. I simply roll over and go to sleep, succumbing to the weakness of my body even as my mind remains active and unhappy with what I’m NOT doing. I know that itchy tingling are the hundreds of books I’m meant to write, but sadly this money-driven world we live in will not allow me to pursue my passion the way I want to. So I must put the neglected characters of my novels back in their beds and try my best to ignore the frosty silence of their disappointment. It is a sad day when the need for money leaves you too tired to pursue your need for art.

I’ve lost count of how many notebooks I now have. Good thing to so my friends and family can’t clap their hand to their forehead in incredulous frustration. So what, I have a problem! Anyway, I am totally in love with Moleskine Notebooks…the best of the best, le crème de la creme….the Mercedes Benz of paper notebooks. So its no surprise that I am the proud owner of a notebook from their new line, Moleskine Passions Journal.

This beauty is a book lover’s dream. A small, savvy way to record basic information, thoughts, favorite quotes, and notes on any book. The back section has six customizable segments that you can use to list or keep track of anything, and they give you a complimentary book mark and stickers to personalize your journal. I get giddy just looking at mine. I’m on a no drugs required just gimme a Moleskine high every time I walk into a bookstore or library. But for those who aren’t avid book lovers/readers/bibliophile, Moleskine has produced passion journals for the Wine, Film, Recipe Music and Wellness lover too. Happy Recording!

Sooo sorry for the long hiatus, but I am nearing the last two weeks of school before I’m a Hampton University graduate. There aren’t enough hours in the day to eat and sleep, never mind stay on top of the piles of work I’m trying to dig myself out of. Even still, I can’t help but feel good because this is it! Four years gone, just like that! Hopefully I will have more time to blog after this crazy phase is over. Until then, here’s my catch up barrage of blogs!
