October 22 - the 2 Significants of today
Yesterday was October 22.
This day has significance to me & always will, for 2 reasons.
1). October 22nd Coalition against Police Brutality rallies every year on this day.
It's a movement of conscious activists, lobbists, speakers, victims, family of victims & students who come together as part of the movement to fight & speak against the brutality within the police force in Los Angeles & PERIOD! As we all know LAPD are NOTORIOUS for beating on young people, especially if they are of a certain racial/cultural backgroumd - it's now called racial profiling, when certain minorities are targeted more than others & then unlawfully beaten & arrested for whateva the police can pin on you. Basically, INJUSTICE!
I was an active member of this party. So, me being the activist that I am and as passionate as I am about the inequities in our world & as ppl that we face, I have decided to persue something deeper & more fulfilling in my career. I plan to do a Master's Degree in International Relations or Political Science next year.
I emailed Lady Angela Davis via the university that she teaches at, asking for her advice & recommendation on post-grad course in her faculty - History of Consciousness. I really hope she replies. I would be so honoured to be taught by her, by such a powerful & influential mark in history. Wow, can you imagine!
2). It's Tasha's Bday.
I went to church this morning from 10am-2pm.
When I woke up, I had realised the date. I remember thinking about her while I was in church. I wondered if she wondered if I was thinking about her on her bday.
I kept thinking how on earth I would get intouch with her, seeing as she don't live in NC anymore & I dont have her new number or whateva.
My whole day was interesting.
Went to church which was like a scripture on Islam. I learnt so much I handn't known about Islam & even the Bible. Very informative & interesting. Also makes me aware that I don't know enough about the Bible as I should. More to learn along the way, I guess.
After that I went home & bounced again to go to net cafe. Along the way some Paki dude stopped me in my track to ask me a bunch of BS ?'s & started spitting all this nonsense about nothing. I guess it was tryna get his hussle on pretending to be some wise fortune teller. After giving me this spill that did nsot even apply to my life, he has the nerve to ask me for money. I would've kindly gave him some, but I had nothing to give him. That was that.
I had made plans to meet up with Sarika for lunch in Ealing, but then Soph called me & I met up with her coz she was just over at Tescos so I went. It was so good to see lil' Soph outside of work, although that's how we will be seeing each other from now on since she don't work with me anymore. So, I met her sister & brother in-law, they were doing all the grocery shopping for this house warming party she was throwing tonight, so Soph and I had a zoot outside before going back in to help her manic Aquarian sister shop. No joke, we were grocery shopping from 5pm til 9:30pm!!! Now are you thinking what I'm thinking..? Pure maddness, outta control!! lol* It was fun though, Soph & I had to step out twice to zoot & we were cool.
Coming home from Wembley with Soph was cool. We always love each other's company. I've adopted her as my lil' sis, good things she's a VIRGO too!
So...I came home, made honey popcorn & decided to call Tasha. Yep! I called her mum's house & luckily her step father answered, so I greeted the man & talked for a few minutes before her mum got on the phone & gave me the number. She was surprisingly very nice. So, I dialled & called. Tasha answered....I heard her voice & I told her happy birthday. I asked her how Christian was & our convo was pleasant. It felt weird that it was ok. I really didn't want to be on the phone with her for much longer than I had to. But as I was trying to let her go, she put Christian on the phone as she always does & I spoke to my lil' Lump Lump. I was soo happy to hear her lil' voice...she was talking back to me. It was truelly overwhelming for me. It was nice to talk to her, she reminds me of Kira. I said " Christian!" She answered, "yes". I said, "I love you Christian" & she replied, "I love you too Roslyn". It was special.
I did ? myself as to what da hell I was doing...but it was something that was brewing, so I guess it was something I had to do. Tasha got into the whole apologetic story of how things weren't suppose to go down the way they did, yada yada...but I really didn't want to know. She tried to explain & told me things I din't know, but what's the point in feeding it all to me, it's too late. What's done is done. My call was merely to find out how Christian was & I guess, for some sort of clarity & closure.
It ended pleasantly. I will admit, it was nice to hear her voice & be able to talk & laugh.
Will we talk again?? ...I don't know, but I doubt there is much of anything else to really say or feel.
CLOSURE.
