Words

Over time words create different emotions within because of the situation we were in when we heard/learned/used that word...

"People won’t remember what you did;
They won’t remember what you said;
But, they will always remember
the way you made them feel!"
-Maya Angelou

I checked out this book when i was in high school called "Tomkat in Love" and the character always talked about different words that stuck in his brain and the situation that makes him remember them and I realize that sometimes when I'm having conversations with people they will say a word and my imagination will get to working and I'll be in that place that that word reminds me of. So I thought...why not come up with a list of random words and see where my mind takes me.

Respect- That episode of Fresh Prince when Ashley sang Aretha Franklin's "Respect" and she was wearing a black bustier and a jacket and she was basicly singing to her father because he didn't want her to grow up.

Cookie- A Disney Cookbook that I borrowed from the Library when I was in Elementary school that had the "sugar cookie" recipe and I made them until I got tired of them. I remember each character had a different dish, and one of them was Archimedes's Meatloaf.

Internet- Staying up all night on the internet talking to Hypnotism5 (Andy) HotSax(Matt) and WhataWhat(Sheldon) about a bunch of nothing until 2 o'clock in the morning when I had to get up at 5.

Love- "There's nothing wrong with me loving you." from Let's get it on which is my ring tone. Me saying it to you for the first time in a different language to throw you off "Ich liebe dich" probably one of the only phrases I remember from German.

Pharrell- Pronouncing his name wrong for the first few months that I realized he saved music. The "There she goes" Video with him and Baby face...Mystikal Shake it fast...but what really did it for me was "Pass the Courvorsier" Being in a Hotel in Tampa when Christina came to my room to tell me the video was on and seeing him under that table saying "Hey Busta...." and that famous "Waaah ooooh" he does.

Naked- Marcus Houston-video but not as unforgettable and the D'Angelo how does it feel video, and how everybody saw the video before me but couldn't tell me how the song went because they were too fixated on the v-muscles.

Yellow- Cold Play on the Box Music network which was replaced by MTV2 which sucked because you couldn't choose the videos you wanted to see. Seeing the Coldplay "yellow" for the first time and not knowing who they were but absolutely loving that song.

Court- 7th Grade thinking O.J. was innocent constantly watching that white Bronco over and over again on the news.

Game-Monster Trap that my mom or dad bought from a garage sale that was missing some of the pieces and there was a day in Kindergarten or First Grade that we could bring in Board Games and this kid named Scott Chewed up the Blue mouse, I think it was and there was spit all over it and I told the Teacher. Scott was weird, and I can't believe I remember his name.

texture- Texturizer. "Just Let your Soul Glo" commercial from coming to America.

Africa-Ethiopia where my grandmother said her ancestors might be from.

Football- Soccer, hating when soccer was on in Jamaica because there was only two Channels.

German- A coworker from when I used to work in Wal-Mart that was just so Hoodtastic that I would have never guessed she was born in Germany. She tutored me in German.

Credit Card- "Priceless" from the Mastercard commercials.

Mouth- Lips, kissing, but mostly eating.

Spring-Flowers graduation. Vibrant colors, turquoise turtle neck and skirt. A new beginning brilliantly green grass on neighbors lawns. Spring break.

Collide- That song, by....not sure what his name is. "Finally find where you and I, collide" it reminds me of how I meet people, almost seems like destiny. I have to had met you or my life wouldn't be complete.

Magic-Trying to figure out how Magicians do it, and when I did find out I was disappointed because that feeling of wonder disappeared.

Infinity- A word I learned in Elementary school, and once it was said. You won....if you multiplied infinity times infinity.
