PATIENTLY Waiting...

As Im here on the Dawn of the OFFICIAL Final Month of Summer, AUGUST 2008, I Cant Help but to be twiddling my thumbs, WONDERING...'WHEN I will actually get to Xperience another DATE'....

Seriously, its been since maybe MARCH or APRIL since I last engaged in an actual, 'Lets Meet at 8', kind of date. I now feel that I am 75% settled into my continued Life, here in California. Aside from Not having any furniture, I am pretty much comfortable in my new place, Ive learned the freeways and main streets, I like my co-workers and client roster, Ive finally released my first set of photos, I no longer feel as if Im on vacation, and Ive received my First, Official Traffic Ticket.

NOW, though Im still 96% focused on garnering a professional, writing job, I WANT to spend my time with someone NEW. I want to be reminded of how it feels to Fall-In-Love again, within those first 3 months. I want to remember the racing feeling that runs through the body when you're getting dressed for that Friday Night Dinner/Movie Date. I want to have the desire to hold the phone up to my ear for HOURS, and talk about EVERYTHING; but really discussing NOTHING Serious. I MISS having someone to call upon to vent to about the things that make me Tick, and the People who have irritated my Day. Sure, I have about 162 people who text Me, Email Me, and/or IM Me on a regular basis. HOWEVER, theres NOTHING like the feeling and thought of KNOWING Who you're going to the latest Japanese Museum Xhibit with, or buying 2 Tickets for the Christina Aguilera concert, and knowing Xactly WHO you're taking along for the Xperience.

ABOVE ALL ELSE...I Miss AFFECTION. I Miss being Hugged and Kissed, and Played with. LOL*

Usually, Im GOOD at being ALONE; for My parents raised us to be Alone without feeling Lonely. Besides, Ive been single for 3 and 1/2 years Now; BELIEVE IT or NOT. Ive grown accustomed to living my life alongside my Friends, their Dates/Fiances/Husbands, My Family and Associates, alike. I have NEVER felt like the 3rd or 5th wheel. Its just that when Im walking along Malibu Beach, or eating a Grilled Chicken Sandwich at one of the Burbank Deli's, I just wander and think about having a Special One, walking and sitting alongside me.

Im ACTUALLY going out to a First Fridays Party, here in Los Angeles, Tomorrow Night. MAYBE someone will approach me, INSTEAD of Staring, Pointing and Whispering. UGH!...I Hate that.


Maybe we will enjoy one anothers company on Saturday, during the day, and then again on Sunday.

MAYBE, by September or October 1st, Ill be Someones BOYFRIEND, for the FIRST Time since March, 2005.

Im NOT Looking.
...Just PATIENTLY Waiting...

Im SHOCKED and SURPRISED!

Ashanti : good good
Video sent by lacameleone

Who knew that in 2008, I would actually be Intrigued and Rhythmically moved to bounce a lil bit to one of Ashanti's New Singles?

I logged online to check my company and personal email accounts this morning. Somehow, Ashanti's INFAMOUS New line, 'GOOD GOOD' was plastered above a Hot, New Photo of her and Nelly; standing Side-by-Side. I clicked the link, HOPING to see MORE Photos of Nelly's Sean John Ad, along with maybe some random Red Carpet photos of Nelly and Ashanti, together.

To my Thursday Morning Delights, Im redirected to a link that highlights Ashanti's new video, for the 2nd Single from her recently released 4th LP; The DECLARATION.

What I ENJOY about this Video, is the FACT that its Fanciful and ThrowBack Fantastic. The colorful and vivid costuming, juxtaposed with the Pee-Wee PlayHouse Style sets, creates a Bubbly, Summer compilation. I LOVE the whimsical facial expressions, hairstyles and Feminine, Dainty body movements that Ashanti performs as she mouths her catchy lyrics. I foresee this particular video receiving MAJOR MTV rotation; especially on the teenage populated, TRL showcase. The video has already been viewed 750,000+ times on YouTube.

I was NEVER a MAJOR Ashanti fan. Over the years, circa 2004 to present, she has LOST my attention even moreso. NOW, it seems, that she is looking BETTER than EVER, every time she appears on the Red Carpet, or at an inside Industry Event. Her skin, hair, body and makeup seem to be all in sync; Fresh, Vivid and Trendy, all the same.

This SONG, specifically, sounds as if it was produced by Jermaine Dupree. Im NOT 100% Sure. The melody is very nostalgic. Either way, the track is GREAT...and to My SHOCK and SURPRISE, Ashanti maintained my attention for an entire 3 Minutes and 42 Seconds.

PLEASE Watch and Enjoy...

By The Way:
Have Yall ACTUALLY Seen Nelly's New AD Campaign for Sean John UnderWear?...
