Wow, the summer got busy and I’ve been struggling to find time lately but here we go again. I hope everyone is well and I’m looking forward to catching up once again
( Read more... )
Glad you had such a good time with the extended family!
As far as your Mom goes - at least she TRIES to relate, I guess (even if she's clumsy at doing so, it's probably better than making no effort, whatsoever?)
I don't know, man, I wouldn't be too hard on yourself... Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time. :-)
Loving the track, man! The background instrumentation is lush; has a definite 90's triphop vibe. Very reminiscent of stuff like Massive Attack. :-)
You're absolutely right and we're thankful my mom wants to relate - she's just too focused on the obvious when it comes to that and ends up coming off like she's trying to prove she's not racist which makes it sound like she's guilty. She's not and we know that but she is old fashioned and pretty conservative and that makes her self conscious and more adamant. That and she's been wanting me to get married and have a baby since I was an adult and wants to become closer with Monique since there's a possibility of that happening with her.
Those are wise words, my friend. Thank you for that. Like always though, it's just hard to find a good balance.
Glad you liked the song. I just came across that in the background of a TV show but don't remember which one. And yeah, I totally get those vibes from it. :)
Sounds like you've been having an awesome time while you've been away from LJ... I think I can forgive you for that ;) glad to hear that Monique's family behaved themselves. I always get a bit worried before reunions for the same reasons!
I wouldn't imagine that anyone belonging to a "soulful black church" would be unwelcoming at all and I'm glad that it's the case. It's the strict catholics here that I worry about, they WILL judge you :P
It's MY family I was thankful behaved themselves, not Monique's. Her family is always easy to be around for the most part. My mom, on the other hand, can be a little difficult just because she tries too hard and it gets awkward and sometimes rubs people the wrong way.
