Since I just figured out how to use Flickr I guess I'll stay on the photo tip.
Pictured at right is kinfolk/kindred L--throwing up the dub--and I 'round about midnight the night of her matriculation from Spelman College. We both grew up in Seattle's First A.M.E. church but for some reason we had beef (although surprisingly our moms were safe in the street). I thought her name was LeeAir. It's not. Then we were the only two black girls entering the fifth grade of Bill Gates' alma mater. Her mama and exclusively tortilla-and-cheese-eating little sister had me, my mama, and my older sis over for dinner at their house over by Genesee Park. We called a truce and traipsed the carpet hallways in tandem from time to time or e-mailed each other from adjacent computers during Typing Tutor.
"Silver and gold/ I'd rather have Jesus, than silver and gooooooold". Whatcha know about kirk franklin?
RépondreSupprimeri still cant get any damn pics up on mine-
but beautiful pics by the way..
Thanks Alii! That's my song right there. For some odd reason a few years ago I sang backing vocals for a fellow student Kamika (God bless the dead) at a Parisian cafe while she belted "Silver & Gold." Does it get more stereotypical than that? All french people want is for black girls to shake in banana skirts and sing gospel. But click on the post title. I was actually referring to that song that goes, "Make new friends but keep the old. One is silver and the other's gold."
RépondreSupprimerok Jah-
RépondreSupprimerjust have to say again that you are a veritable lexicon of knowledge and experience (did I use that right?)! I swear you could meet someone on a van in a strange city and find you had something in common with them. Oh wait . . . that happened!
Lol. And I still haven't done shit. It can only get better but don't get all humble on me, you've already done most of what I'm trying to do.
RépondreSupprimerLooking good, ladies. Seattle, eh. Another destination on my list.
