Sunday December 16 marks the one year anniversary of my move to the Bay Area. It started out rough but thankfully things turned around for me earlier this year.
I started off in Vallejo which reminded me a lot of the town I grew up in Inglewood, Ca. The thing I didn't realize about Vallejo was that you had to cross a bridge to get to a good job. I couldn't find anything in the area that worked for me.
I moved to Berkeley and that's when things began to change. I found a job and within a couple of months moved into my own apartment in Oakland, Ca.
I am loving life right now. Interestingly enough I haven't found the kind of spiritual foundation I had at my church or poet/spoken word community but I figure that will happen with time. I was involved with this sweet guy named Berry but we didn't work out and he has moved to Cincinnati. He was someone I was hoping to build something significant but he was at a place in his life where he needed to help himself before he could get involved with me.
I am still decorating my apartment. I found these window frames that I am planning on turning into picture frames. I was hoping to get artwork from some artists I've met on line and in person but no one really followed through so I have decided to take on some projects myself. I also feel this will give my place the organic energy I want it to have.
That's it for now. I am not sure how often I will blog here but I am hoping this will become an outlet for my thoughts, poetry, and other events that people will find intersting...
