Sojourner's Truth

“A mysterious event causes everyone on the planet to simultaneously lose consciousness for 137 seconds, during which people see what appear to be visions of their lives approximately six months in the future – a global ‘flashforward.”

“Start from the beginning with the end in mind…”

OK, folks. I’m trying two new things today: posting from my Blackberry and trying out a survey.

I’m gonna share the survey results in my next post – after I receive at least 10 reponses. Let’s see how much we have in common. Here goes!*

“You know SoJo….the entire time I was reading the comments I was thinking that maybe this is something folks need to bring up when they have their “talk”. Assuming that responsible adults all have a talk at some point (hopefully before they get nekkid) then that’s as good a time as any to just ask.”

I was recently having dinner w/ a group of friends (mostly couples: BF/GF, H/W) and I happened to check my Twitter feed as I often do in public, no matter who I’m with. <—- don't judge me, I'm an addict.

A question was posed that read: “Ladies, how would you feel to wake up and find your mate err…getting it in….with you while you were asleep?”

One of the responses read: “o_O Um…rape? Any man using my body without my consent is rape.”

UPDATE: MY BAD! I forgot to turn the comments on! Now lemme go watch the game. Go Falcons!
NOTE: I wrote this in September, but since we’re entering my birth month, I decided to repost.

I’ve been on this earth (in this particular incarnation) for 33 1/2 damn near 34 years now. I love waking up in the morning and wondering what LIFE has in store for me to learn. I always pray for WISDOM. So, while I still have ‘miles to go before I sleep’, here’s what I’ve learned during my sojourn …so far**.

When I originally wrote this post, I was going through some thangs w/ my niece.  I mean some – I was 2 seconds from fighting that heffa like a grown azz woman , somebody might need to call the po-po – type issues.  I was emotionally exhausted. 

I had all but stopped meditating, praying, all of the things that make me…ME.  It was then that I felt this nagging in my soul.   I remembered this entry tonight, not because things are difficult right now – but because there is a familiar nagging – an unsettled feeling.  I’m on the right track (I think), praying, meditating, etc.  But I feel led to listen to this song until I figure out what’s going on with me or maybe someone close to me.~from the October 2008 archives~

ya’ know….sometimes, i wish that i could go back to 2004/2005 – where i didn’t know you guys in real life. so many of you are interfused with my reality (we’ve hung out… *cough* dated…have become e-mail/im/facebook buddies) that it’s hard to keep some things under wraps. because of that, i try to maintain a balance of keeping some things private, while keeping those of you who truly care about me outside of the blog world updated on what’s going on w/ me – not just for myself, but for the people in my immediate environment that deserve their privacy.

but let me tell you…i’ve been going thru some things lately…the last couple of weeks have been absolutely WICKED. maybe, i’ll share the details when it’s long past and i see the value in the lesson…maybe not. in the meantime…let me try to show you….

*RILEY: Oh yes, the victim! At what point does personal responsibility become a factor in this equation? I see piss comin’, I move. She saw piss comin’, she stayed…..

*inspired by the blogger who knows who she is

So as Riley says, let’s examine the is whole peeing thing. Nah, not the one that you’re thinking about. I’m talking about ‘marking your territory’…your relationship territory – especially when it’s fresh or you’re just in the dating phase.
