    WHO DAT, You ask?


    N
    ew Orleans Saints are going to the Superbowl

    As a New Orleanean for most of my life, and a person that has knowledge of football for my entire life, I never thought I'd hear this. And it not be a joke.

    But it's true. My city's football team is going to the Superbowl and New Orleans/Louisiana could not be more ecstatic.

    Yet, I've been confronted with a lot of... how should I say this... HATERS... and also a lot of people that are just puzzled as to why the city is so excited. I mean, it's just the Superbowl.

    But to us, it means so much more.
    I'm gonna try and break it down for ya.

    A few years ago, Hurricane Katrina had us wondering if we could ever return to our city again. I remember not knowing about my house, my family photos, my high school yearbook, my friends... I didn't even know if my Mother was alive and well. We watched pictures on the TV screen and wished we could get a glimpse of our homes. We watched people floating dead in flood waters that covered streets we drove on a few days prior. It's a scary feeling to not only know you can't go home, but that home may not even be there anymore.

    Now it's 4 years later, and a lot of people say get over it. These people have never lived or visited the city. If you come right now, I can show you parts of the city that make it seem like August 2005 was yesterday...

    The Saints going to the Superbowl makes the city feel like we are alive and we have hope to become the city that we once was (the city has never been the same since)... and although the Saints weren't what one would call a "winning team" before Katrina, their chance at the Superbowl is, in a way, giving us HOPE that, just for a second, we don't have to worry about the rebuilding and have fun like we used to.

    I've lived in a few cities around the US and New Orleans has a different type of culture. We are a close knit family that give each other hugs even if we don't know you, cook for our neighbors, and never get mad or annoyed when people scream at us, "WHO DAT?!"

    Cause we know WE DAT.

    No one Cares-> my return to blogging

    Back again... I should start writing again.

    Christmas just passed. Of course there were n gifts, but it's not about that--> the important part was that I had a great time with my family. This year we spent with my ma's side of the family in Natchez, MS and Jamon even came with us. My brother is pretty much my best friend and he tries to teach me all that he knows (including gun safety) so, of course, we have a lot of conversations, but one this past couple days has truely stuck out to me.

    I don't know if I can directly quote him, but this is pretty much what he said:

    " I look around, and most of my friends are dead or in jail. Yuri [honor student and friend of my brother who was killed over NOTHINGNESS] is dead and they still haven't found who did it. And my teachers don't even care. This guy just left my house before he was killed, and his mom is crying on my shoulder so I couldn't study for a test and these teachers don't care. Really, no one cares. People just die and life goes on and no one cares. [he looks at me] Have you ever been really upset and you cried and you cried because you wanted someone else to see and feel how much you were hurting... how much pain you're going through? [I nodded] Well, don't do it Keah... don't do that sh*t anymore because they don't feel your pain cause NO ONE CARES!"



    I hate to say it, but he's right.

    Best of Me

    Best of Me

    I saw you again at the parlor
    Crossing the walk with your lady
    I caught your eye from a far off
    I noticed she wore a ring
    I found a smile against my will
    wish it was genuine
    I put away my desire
    No more in love with you still
    Look I'm moving on...

    Loved you, lost you
    Thought I'd give you all the best of me
    We departed, broken hearted
    I need to be free
    What we had was oh so lovely
    I'll swallow my pain
    It's my time to find the best of me.

    Can't be the type to be begging
    Can't be the type to plead
    My mama made me much wider
    What's mine will be just for me
    I'm trying hard to just focus
    I'm trying hard to sleep
    Promise I'm glad you're happy
    When it's my time it will be
    Look I'm moving on...

    Loved you, lost you
    Thought I'd give you all the best of me
    We departed, broken hearted
    I need to be free
    What we had was oh so lovely
    I'll swallow my pain
    it's my time to find the best of me

    Oh my, why have I been just so foolish
    All these times
    Not realizing the beauty that your eyes once saw in mine
    I guess it's time to find the best in me...

    Unwanted Information

    Lately I have been getting a lot of unwanted information... I only say "unwanted" because I didn't ask for it, but in all honesty, I'm glad i have found it all out. The information that I know has changed the way that I look at a bunch of people, but none of it changed the way that I look at people in a positive way. I used to think that maybe there was something wrong... that maybe I needed to change something about myself because I kept getting into random arguements with ppl or they'd get on my nerves, but I keep finding out things from people and things from others that is showing me that these people are not true. My ma asked God to give her children the gift of discernment, and I really feel like He has answered her prayers because all of a sudden, I get signs and symbols showing me that some people should exit my life...

    so... random quote I heard that I liked...

    "Courage is not the absence of fear, but knowing that something else is more important. The brave may not live forever, but the cautious never live at all."

    d.R.e.A.m.S.

    My ma called me the other day and she was a little disturbed.

    Her grandmother's house (down the street from her mother's house) caught on fire. It's not completely messed up and no one was in the house (neither does no one really live there) but she said it disturbed her.

    She said she grew up there mostly and when she got hypnotized to stop smoking, they told her to think of the most peaceful place she's ever been, and she thought of that house.

    She said also when she dreams, she dreams of being in that house, no matter what city the dream takes place in or whose in it.

    That kinda made me wonder, why do we dream of certain places in our dreams?

    My sister dreams of our old house in Jackson (presidential hills) even though we might be in New Orleans in the dream. Both places were her homes.

    I can't think of a place I dream at... I don't really have a house I grew up in because I moved so much, but I'm just wondering why people dream the things that they dream...

    Maybe it's where they called home... Maybe it's where they grew up... Maybe it's their safe place... Maybe it calms them... idk...

    Just random thoughts...

    c.R.u.S.H.

    I needed sunshine in my day... something to wash away the pain. I saw a very gentle side of him that tickled my heart and made it sing. I wish he'd run away and hide with me... love hurts so much more than it seems. There was one thing I didn't show--- I love him and he doesn't know.

    I wonder if I'll ever see the day, will I ever find the nerve to say "I Love You"? And will he turn around, walk away? Will he leave or will he stay, if I tell him?

    Could he be the one who's in my dreams? Could he be the one sent down for me? There was one thing I failed to show... I love him and he doesn't know.

    Have you ever loved somebody, secretly loved somebody who didn't know? Have you fell in love with somebody, deeply love somebody who didn't know?

    I love him and he doesn't know it... I love him and he doesn't know... There was one thing I failed to show... I love him and he doesn't know....
