3/20/2012
I am not sure the last time I slept more than 3 1/2 hour consecutively. Whenever I closed my eyes for more than 3 seconds, I fell asleep. The many sounds of the night of kept me on edge. Besides the fact I was homeless and not getting much sleep, I was in the best shape (mentally, physically, spiritually) of my life. This is like God’s way of preparing me for my future. I needed to unlearn a lot of my previous habits — judging people, relying on materials for happiness and not taking the time to enjoy the finer things in life like nature and fresh air. It’s almost 6am and I had to move my car before the meter lady begins her shift, so it’s on to the next spot. Since I’ve been on this Najiramba journey, I’ve learned lessons in the last month than I did my entire life. I went to DC over the weekend. I visited one of my friends who is married with just had a baby boy three months ago. Congrats to them. I wonder if I am ever going to have kids. There are so many variables to take in when having kids. But again congrats to them. The funny thing is he married a girl that my other buddy used to date. That’s the way the world works. I’m not sure if I wrote about Yvette’s premonition.
I’ve known Yvette for some time and she travels up and down the east coast doing readings for people. I never really gave much thought into that psychic mumbo jumbo life, but everybody else was shook to get a reading, so I did. In short, she told me that I’m an ambitious person who is careless and too careful at the same time. She also noted that I have great luck. Funny thing is I don’t believe in luck. If there is something I needed, she said I would know trouble finding it. That made me think about C-Note I found out the beach. Yvette also said I was smart on the inside and stupid on the outside. I laughed at that. We went over to the chicken spot. I figured I’d buy her food, because I definitely wasn’t going to pay her reading fee that was $100. After we ate, we went to the harbors. It was dead out there. We went back to the hotel. Yvette told me this was the last time we could chill for a while. Her visa was expiring and she had to go back to South Africa. I made some coffee. She said she didn’t want any when i offered, but she sipped some from my glass. This was a definite sign she liked me more than just friends. We sat on the bed and talked about her experiences in the United States and how the culture is so different from South Africa. Next thing I know we were getting very physical. The last year of my life flashed by. I applied to be an officer in the Navy, working security, love when bathrooms are cleaned, can’t wait until the cyber cafe returns to 24 hours, interpretation of Clint Eastwood’s biography, preparing for library closing, true enemies, gotta keep my antennas up to see what people really up to and how I missed the taste of home cooked meals.
