Early Monday Morning

Picking up the pieces…

The weekend found me busy with work:
filming and editing took all of my flirt.

4am this morning came very quick
Suffering from little-sleep-itis, I felt quite sick.

But I got up anyway to take the hubby off to work,
I threw on shoes and denim blues to go under my night-night shirt.

I brewed fresh coffee for two and I made it pretty quick
by dragging myself out of bed 15-minutes before he did.

He has to be at work at 5:30am and I work from home – for self;
I take the kid to school at 6:50 – because she’s our legacy wealth.

And then it’s back to the house, to do more film editing.
testing show creations – for mass relations
and structuring reel pedigree.

My board of producers is tight and each one pulls his weight.
We all believe in sweat equity and work diligent everyday.

Perseverance is important and I’m steady on the course
and starting my day at 4 am – makes me a successful sport.

You’ll get no complaints here, I’m happy to be alive.
I’m Qui
An “early bird she” already on my productive thrive.

TODAY can be a WIN if you just DRIVE.

He’s all in your ear

The “other guy” has all the answers?

I love you men – I really do,
but I’ve got to share a few missed truths:

Wisdom ladies! Wisdom! Please hear and understand
He is running game, If he’s “bad mouthing” your current man.

He wants to get into your pants – so he’ll say what he’s got to say.
It’s okay if you’re cool with that, but remember a “game” is in play.

It is not okay to let him think that he rules the panties,
because He’s all in your ear talking about “being a family”.

Listen ladies! Listen, you do not want to call him your own,
not when he’s just looking for a place to rest amidst his roam.

Wisdom needs to be yours. You deserve a quality life.
Please don’t think he’s without bags, if he comes with an ex-wife.

Something made him “the ex” – which is the same thing he’s trying to make your man.
He doesn’t care about you and yours – adding nothing to your future plans.
____________

He’s talking about taking care of you and waking up to your pretty face,
while he’s in-between pads - doing bad – living at some other chicks place.

But he wants to take care of you?
Think it through.

Ask your momma, ask your sister –
he’s a common trifling mister.

Wisdom ladies. Wisdom! Please do not be in a rush
to say “it’s love”; moments later “it was” – and end up looking dumb.

Love is not that complicated. Please do not panic. Do not fear.
Please know that you’ve got to double check that yay-ya he’s putting in your ear.

He’s all in your ear, telling you that your man ain’t this and he ain’t that,
I’m Qui
and he’s heard those words before, himself. Wisdom says, it’s likely a fact.

Don’t be so quick to settle. Be patient, be prayerful and listen.
God hasn’t forgotten about you, I promise, so lean back on good wisdom.

You have been served.

I ain’t never cared

…what you think about me
or how you’ve always been free
or about your ethnic background -
if you’re of gentile or jewish crown.

I have not cared one bit
wether Governor Christi is fat or fit.

I have absolutely not cared
tho I am interested in what is fair.

Minnesotans signed a bill that’s pending in tarry
that will allow our same sex folk to finally get married.

You may not agree, that marriage is for all,
but it’s a human condition when in love we fall.

No need to continue to stall what you don’t understand.
It’s really not about the certificate or the wedding band,

but about being recognized by the law and receiving supportive benefits.
It used to be taboo, but things are changing quick.

And I ain’t never cared or called someone crazy
for watching the night skies and or being star gaze’y.

So here’s a toast to all that will
ever talk about ‘the lights in Stephenville.’

2008 is the year that still baffles many
when a UFO docked  and was seen by plenty.

I’ve not ever seen a UFO, but I really do believe,
my God reigns over all life forms and that’s okay with me.

I’m a no nonsense girl – I don’t get goose bumps a lot
but I’m concerned anytime our space is held hostage across 2-city blocks.

You know what I’m saying?  
Life is mainly for loving and playing
but with no ABSOLUTES – I just keep praying.

Which brings me back to… 

I ain’t never cared about cliques, but I do care about humanity,
I’m Qui 
And as long as you’re pushing positive – I feel comfortable calling you family.

Quite a gal

Because you were born

Dear Mom, because you were born:

I had a shot at winning the swim contest.
I was rightly born – because I swam the best.

I was loved a lot and spoiled a little.
Born 2 of 4, I’m the kid in the middle.

I’ve always looked up to you - you’ve always been smart.
I thought it was a biological bi-product of having lady parts.

Dad is cool but he never worked at GM while maintaining his style and shakin.’
Dear Mom, you did it all – a trend setter who brought home the bacon.

I picked up your work ethic and some of your sense of fashion,
I also picked up that secret feminine lingo dubbed ‘pig latin.’

I use it a lot and am duly teaching my kid
about those generational-niches that do bind us as kin.

Thanks for teaching me how to cook, baby sit and comprehend what may not always be spoken.
My praying spirit yields foresight and strong is my intuitive (guiding) token.

Thanks for yielding me book knowledge and a great deal of common sense.
It is because you taught me to love and good-vibe-hug, that I have matured into hence.

I pray God favor me with grace – as you look like you’ve never seen a day of scorn.
Wisdom runs deep, I marinated and peeped – a recipient of because you were born.

You mean the world to me young lady and HAPPY MOTHERS DAY,
I’m Qui 
I’ll-ay ove-lay ou-yay or-fay infinity-ay! Hey!
[pig latin translation: I'll love you for infinity!]

6 in the morning

First of all it’s Monday but I’m trying to make the weekend last
So I coupled my 5am cup of jo’ with OTIS’ OL FUNKY ASS:

He’s good company being steered by the lyrics of Loco and King J,
Throwing me in the back of the Cadi as we peruse the highway.

Memories are good and last weekend lent us some.
But losing Chris Kelly was not on the order of “fun”.

An overdose of heroine and cocaine isn’t the type of headline you want to hone.
But it is what it is, and our dear CHRIS has CROSSed over and gone home.

I’ve got to get out of here to take my child to school and hit the boot camp field.
I’ve turned my back on fat, sugar, bread and salt — a journey full of hills.

But for real, the day is early and I’m feeling fresh and cool.
I’m Qui
Done with yawning at 6 in the morning – let me get my kid to school.

SEE YA!

Once I returned home I tuned in to CNN‘s hem -
the time was approximately 

I’m certain the AK47 was not remotely made
for high traffic areas at the start of your day:

Headlines read: AK-47-WIELDING GUNMAN FIRES 37 TIMES AT SHOCKED COPS DURING ROUTINE TRAFFIC STOP!
All this is happening while GUN REFORM is in the front seat and the topic is hot.

The guy in the (uncensored) video unloads on the cops and yells out, “Kill me“!
Background checks could sure help – most targeted officers should feel me.

2 cops pulled the dude over for running a stop sign
not knowing they be the executors of his lifes end-time.

It’s unbelievably serious – I’m just relaying it in rhyme.
Houston hosted the NRA last weekend & they were on clown-shine.

Cause moonshine don’t make you talk like you’ve got your gun and don’t care.
This rallying of the ‘clowning crew’ is being headed by Wayne LaPierre.

Good thing the cops in the video had trained for this stuff, (whether support or pout).
They were better equipped to report it, call-for-backup and take the clown shooter out.

Being that it’s only 8:30 a.m. – More new is sure to follow,
I’m Qui
Serving it up with coffee, in attempt to help you swallow.

Thats not your bag

Sadness, lack of confidence, lack of skill, or lack of anything – is not ever yours to claim. Life hands us all a bag of goods and bads. It’s up to the holder of the bag to survey the contents and add to or subtract from it as necessary to the sum of what he needs on his lifes journey.

Let’s take a brief look into my bag. Theres:

to name a few. What’s in your bag? What’s your life looking like? What direction do you want it to go in? Give it some thought and then get into the habit of exhibiting those traits that you want to be known for. It’s never too late to change for the better. I’m also still on my fitness quest, so FITNESS is also in my bag.

What’s in you bag? What do you want in your bag? Here are a few more traits to consider adding:

You know I’m always in your corner. Heck! I’m always in mine.
I want to encourage you to always be the sun-in-the room and shine.

Be happy, live healthy, always look for & enjoy the good around you.
Nothing stays the same for ever, do embrace the love that surrounds you.

Give what you want to get back: A hug, a kiss, an understanding ear.
Befriend someone that needs it; reel in a loner and treat them dear.

You never know when the tables are turned or when the shoe’ll be on the other foot.
You want to always end sunny-side-up and not alone with a face full of soot.
Give and Take is at the root.

If it’s a bad script (lifes situation), please don’t be so quick to claim.
I’m Qui
and That’s not your bag – I declare in Jesus’ name.
