Random Musings: Clearly I Am Not Just A Fat Ass

Lately I find myself listening to different genres of music. From rock, pop, country, jazz and and and. So I have just being a music whore trying to find the one I'm most comfortable with. 
Of all the genres of music I have been experimenting lately, Soul tops my list. Now Soul is believed to be music for only mature minds, whatever that means! I have even been told that you need to be of a certain age group to understand the message that lies in soul music. Honestly, I couldn't disagree more. 



Jill Scott is not only a soulful poet, a great song-writer and a beautiful songstress.
She is a spoken word artist, a soul singer and an actress.

Womanifesto is a track in her 2011 album, Light in the Sun.

  10. i am arms to hold
  11. I am lips to speak
  12. I am a muthafreaking "G"
  13. Strong legs that stroll off the 33 bus
  14. or out of a money green Phantom comfortably
  15. Knees that bend to pray
  16. Clean Ajax washings
  17. Hair that is thick and soft
  18. Thighs that be-twixt
  19. an amazing all expense grand prize
  20. I am eyes that sing
  21. smile that brightens

  24. I am Grand Dame Queen Beast
  25. I am warm
  26. I am peace
  27. From Roads of Botswana to 23rd street
  28. From the inside third eye
  29. ever watching this wicked wicked system of things
  30. i do see
  31. I am friend to pen
  32. and a lover of strong women
  33. A diamond to Men

  48. and indeed the Shit
  49. Clearly I am not just an ass


Need I say more?...Share your thoughts with me.

A Good Woman

By allowing you play video games with your boys or joins you, she doesn't complain you are too addicted to football, instead she supports your team and share every emotion you feel when your team loses or wins, makes her a good woman? She cares about you, supports you, encourages you, is never quick to judge you, listens to you and advises you. She knows your greatest fear is failure, failure of not being the best boyfriend or potential best husband and father, successful at work and everything in between. So she definitely understands you need to give work attention. When you get too attentive to your job than you should to her, she knows how to get that attention back on her subtly. She's good all by herself, she's an asset! She's no idler, maybe a career woman, maybe not. She certainly won't suck up to you for everything because she's holding it down on her own. In the midst of this, she's very homely and understands the concept of a marri...
