8:04pm

Its Sunday evening. 8:04pm to be exact. Its raining, again. I've been very contemplative today. Not because its father's day. Me and my dad have a very weird relationship. Its more like he's a family friend some days but I've just come to learn to accept our relationship. It is what it is.

Today, I thought about the future a lot. My daughter, me, the dog, moving, job search, money, singlehood, therapy, the journey, blah, blah, blah. The weird thing is that feel like I'm 30 and that I have time to make it all happen. In a decade, I'll be 50 with the possibilities of being a grandmother by then. YIKES. There's the other possibility of motherhood again. YIKES.

What's next for Rhonda? I have NO idea. Nothing in my world is how I planned. NOTHING. Nothing is the way I thought it would be for my life at 40. I was sure I'd be married with about 3 kids. I was sure that I would be successful broadcaster. My life has been all over the place like a continuous roller coaster. Since I was 23, there has been the Kid. My love. She wished me a happy father's day today and gave me a gift. You just gotta love that. I am loved. I feel very loved by my kid and its a precious gift. I'm loved by God. I feel it and know it. I am loved.

And I'm still learning to LOVE the hell out of Rhonda. I'm a little neurotic. I'm a text book introvert. My sexuality is a blessing and a curse. I'm nice and yet a bitch. I still don't understand how people view me. Its always so off the mark to me. Most days, I miss Mom. I miss my niece and nephew and hope they will survive in Iowa. I'm still trying to forgive my brother. I tend to always look at myself when things go badly in a friendship/relationship. Even though I've become use to people leaving my life, I'm still VERY sadden by any ending. Too heady. Stop me now!!

There's some thing around the corner for me. I know. I'm waiting for it. I've learned to accept change. I'm so use to it. So let the Rain come down. Let life take me to the next level.

its now 8:22pm

Confessions of a Recovering Misogynist" by Kevin Powell

In the past few weeks, I've had the opportunity to have very brief conversations with Kevin Powell. Its very interesting to speak with someone with similar passions for community service. As someone who has been very transparent on her blog, I find this essay by Kevin refreshing. I just happen to see this on Facebook as someone posted it many months ago. Thanks KP. I AM A SEXIST MALE. I take no great pride in saying this, I am merely stating a fact. It is not that I was born this way-rather, I was born into this male-dominated society, and consequently, from the very moment I began forming thoughts, they formed in a decidedly male-centered way. My "education" at home with my mother, at school, on my neighborhood playgrounds, and at church, all placed males in the middle of the universe. My digestion of the 1970s American popular culture in the form of television, film, ads, and music only added to my training, so that by as early as age nine or ten I saw females, includ

If I was your girlfriend

Yeah, another Prince discussion. This man has saved my soul through the years. A follow Prince fan always refers to Prince as the ultimate "pimp". He speaks of how smooooooth Prince is lyrically. I came across the video for "If I Was Your Girlfriend," taken from the Sign of the times film. I started gigglin'. Prince IS a pimp. So clever. Witty. Smooth. Just runnin' game but damn, I'd fall for it. The title alone would get me..... IF I WAS UR GIRLFRIEND - PRINCE
