the return of random ish: Here, I Stand.

- "i want you to touch me. thoroughly. firmly. aggressively. sexually. gently ... just once. i want to know how your fingerprints feel on my soul's epidermis. just let go and ... touch me. who knows what dreams may come ... true."

- there seems to be recent uprise in celibacy among the womenfolk i know, both in "real" life and online. hmm. article? i've been without manfolkness for some time now, but i have not taken some strict vow to avoid the male species. just unapologetically picky i guess. i am glad to see women deciding not to share their bodies with undeserving men any longer. know your worth, ladies. know your worth.

- still love 'Here I Stand' by Usher. sigh. the words. amazing. waiting for the right man to say "you're like a mirror to my soul, but a Queen." to me. wowza. that day, i shall marry Him. lol.

- a friend of mine is engaged, after 3 weeks of dating, and knowing each other period. they've been together about a month and a half now, and it seems like it's real Love. wow. i'm extra happy for her. was even a little blinded by her DOUBLE diamond ring (like, two rings. two engagement rings. wow) when i saw it, and he clearly is thoroughly taken with her. who said there was a timeline on Love, huh?

- still a little sad over the Late Great Michael Jackson. sigh. the world will never ever see another like him. words can't describe how much of a stan i was. i'm happy i was able to experience his influence and music in my lifetime, and i'm sure my children and their children, will know who the King of Pop was.



- still have my 'Beat It' and 'Thriller' shirts. yes yes. still wear the Thriller one, but i'll skin you alive if you touch the Beat It one. lol.

- this, is a little extreme in my humble opinion though. as well as the 12 suicides that have happened since the King died. wowza.


- white cheddar cheez-its. yep! swear they are addicting.

- pursuing your Dream with full force may be one of the toughest, hardest, most mentally-challenging things you'll ever do, but when you actually put a finger on it, feel the texture of it in your hands, the blisters you've gained will be all worth it. :)

- now, what will you do with it?

- 68 degree high. june 30. gotta love Michigan. ...not.

- recently went to Chicago for my cousin's Naval Academy graduation. loved it. made me realize that Detroit definitely needs to get its weight up. made me a little sad that our downtown has more abandoned, boarded up, and decaying buildings than viable places to shop. haven't been to a city so alive in a long while. i understand the stan behavior Chi-town natives have now. *looked for Kanye*... didn't find Kanye. or Common. or Lupe. sucks yo. lol.

- want to say how PROUD i am of mi little cousin for not only sticking with it, but doing well. Go Quinny-Poo!! lol.

- packing is exhausting. so is moving. but i can't wait. BIG SMILES.

- waking up to pretty flowers is like someone internally pushing the 'Have A Lovely Day' button, every morning. smiles.

- Ginuwine's new song, 'Last Chance'. yes. "if this is my last chance, to Love you... i'm gonna play it like a Grown Man ought to..." <-- that's what i'm TALKING ABOUT. grown man Love is something serious. fav part of the song.

- nosebleeds f*cking suck. could be worse though, so i won't complain too much. Jesus Loves Me, clearly. so, i'll keep smiling.

- there is something incredibly and inexplicably soothing about a Manhug. i could definitely use one of those right about now. nothing matches a tall, strong man wrapping his arms around you and telling you that all will be okay. yep. could really use that.

- don't you love my shirtness? smiles.

- i'm learning that when you start trying to define that which cannot be defined, that is the point where things start getting messy. who ever heard of clear definitions making things messy though? i know. lol

- wow. i'd almost forgotten about the Jena 6. glad they didn't get jail time. see what happens when black people ban together for a common goal? loves it. battery is a lonnng way from attempted murder.

- got a tattoo on my wrist. i'll show it one of these days. :)

- i'm an editor for MaBu, which is MahoganyButterfly.com, one of the best sites for black women. check us out! and if you're interested in writing articles ... let me know!

- fathers are amazing. my daddyo gives some great advice. Heart him so much.

- hair post coming soon. it's growing like crazy! shout out to all my Au Naturales! time for a cut, i suppose. finally figured out what was causing the crazy hair shedding. so i stopped it, and haven't had many problems since. hallelujah.

- i have vowed not to shop or buy anything until i've moved. we'll see how that turns out. so far, so good. lol

- for the last year and a half or so, i've been firmly saying that dating is secondary to me focusing on my career as a budding writer. i was uninterested in working on a relationship, starting a new relationship, or rekindling any past relationship. now, as writing becomes more of a daily event in my life and the title of Published Author looms around the corner, i am thinking (and being reminded by several people in my circle) that it's about time to turn my playa card (playa, yeah right. lol) in and settle down. who the lucky (or unlucky depending on your POV. lol) Man will be only God knows. but, i'm thinking it's nearing that time for me to at least consider a relationship. ah, we'll see.

- twitter is a bit time consuming. and invasive. expect less of me. still love y'all though. just can't live my life 140 characters at a time. lol. if you care to follow though ... it's twitter.com/mzunyque

... the good thing is this means that i'll be blogging more regularly.


hope all is fab and flyyness. :-)
