simplistic

he gave me his chocolate milk...that means we going steady!

do you remember how simple dating was when you were young? a boy saved you a seat in the lunch room -- that meant ya'll was boyfriend and girlfriend!

if a girl let you play with her hair -- she was digging you something crazy.

that's how my life has been lately. simple. perfect fit at times, squeezing at other times -- but real simple. my happiness is filled by donuts in the morning, personal sized orange juice that he picked up just for us and laughing at the radio 7am in the morning. it ain't fancy -- and when we have fancy - it can become costly. but mainly, the small stuff - like conversing about becoming better people -- or seeing God in him for the umpteenth time or watching videos, sharing poems and prose and laughter - is so simple and yet, so right. so when he gave me his chocolate milk - it was just enough.

yup. both of those are classics... Clone Wars...Eugenics (is the grapes one) and Poltical Cartoon is the newest masterpiece. ive watched cats bow to him...hilarious - but definitely justifiable! boogie is dope too. real ernest and sincere brother... his poetry makes you believe falling in love isnt just a condition women are affected by...
