Blessings, affirmations, grace, and reflection

I just want to dance tonight. I wish there was a club in my neighborhood where I could just dance - just spin in the middle of the floor while singing at the top of my lungs. All the clubs/bars around here are hip hop. I was so depressed this afternoon I didn't know what to do. I finally found a station playing dance music and was able to pull myself up. I think hip and R&B are killing us. Even thought the same songs and same beats are played over and over and over again, it is still better than the strip club music they play on the "black" stations. I know what club I can go to in D.C., but I would have to go all the way downtown to dance here. I feel so alive when I am dancing. I wish I could do it every night so I can feel alive. Dance the blues away!

Well, I'm back from my whirlwind trip to D.C.  The consensus is that I still love D.C. It was so much calmer and clean than New York.  I stayed with my friend who just bought a condo near American University in Tenleytown . I tend to forget how long it has been since I lived in the tri-state area and how much it has changed since I lived there. I didn't recognize anything. It felt like I had never been there before. Everything I once knew was changed. My friend offered me a train ticket, but because of the parking situation around here I declined and drove down. The drive down wasn't too bad, but I think next time I will take public transportation. So, I had an alright time. He didn't have his furniture yet so it wasn't really comfortable to hang out at his place. Plus, his place was much smaller than what he has bought in the past. I guess you sacrifice space for the convenience of living in the city. I loved his 2 bedroom townhouse in Falls Churc...
