The Creation, by James Weldon Johnson

AND God stepped out on space,
And He looked around and said,
"I'm lonely --
I'll make me a world."

And far as the eye of God could see
Darkness covered everything,
Blacker than a hundred midnights
Down in a cypress swamp.

Then God smiled,
And the light broke,
And the darkness rolled up on one side,
And the light stood shining on the other,
And God said, "That's good!"

Then God reached out and took the light in His hands,
And God rolled the light around in His hands
Until He made the sun;
And He set that sun a-blazing in the heavens.
And the light that was left from making the sun
God gathered it up in a shining ball
And flung it against the darkness,
Spangling the night with the moon and stars.
Then down between
The darkness and the light
He hurled the world;
And God said, "That's good!"

Then God himself stepped down --
And the sun was on His right hand,
And the moon was on His left;
The stars were clustered about His head,
And the earth was under His feet.
And God walked, and where He trod
His footsteps hollowed the valleys out
And bulged the mountains up.

Then He stopped and looked and saw
That the earth was hot and barren.
So God stepped over to the edge of the world
And He spat out the seven seas;
He batted His eyes, and the lightnings flashed;
He clapped His hands, and the thunders rolled;
And the waters above the earth came down,
The cooling waters came down.

Then the green grass sprouted,
And the little red flowers blossomed,
The pine tree pointed his finger to the sky,
And the oak spread out his arms,
The lakes cuddled down in the hollows of the ground,
And the rivers ran down to the sea;
And God smiled again,
And the rainbow appeared,
And curled itself around His shoulder.

Then God raised His arm and He waved His hand
Over the sea and over the land,
And He said, "Bring forth! Bring forth!"
And quicker than God could drop His hand.
Fishes and fowls
And beasts and birds
Swam the rivers and the seas,
Roamed the forests and the woods,
And split the air with their wings.
And God said, "That's good!"

Then God walked around,
And God looked around
On all that He had made.
He looked at His sun,
And He looked at His moon,
And He looked at His little stars;
He looked on His world
With all its living things,
And God said, "I'm lonely still."

Then God sat down
On the side of a hill where He could think;
By a deep, wide river He sat down;
With His head in His hands,
God thought and thought,
Till He thought, "I'll make me a man!"

Up from the bed of the river
God scooped the clay;
And by the bank of the river
He kneeled Him down;
And there the great God Almighty
Who lit the sun and fixed it in the sky,
Who flung the stars to the most far corner of the night,
Who rounded the earth in the middle of His hand;
This Great God,
Like a mammy bending over her baby,
Kneeled down in the dust
Toiling over a lump of clay
Till He shaped it in His own image;

Then into it He blew the breath of life,
And man became a living soul.
Amen. Amen.

Pregnancy Dreams

Sooo, I always hear about people having freak-o dreams while they prego, like the baby going all Alien and busting out their stomachs, or birthing monkeys or whatever. I never really had one extreme like that, the closest being my cousins 1yr old trying to choke me out in my slip. Now last night was something special.

I blame this dream on nights filled with longer hours(winter),which cause for more t.v plus my very over active imagination. Not to long ago I watched this show on TV One called “The Will To live” and on this episode this lady was pregnant right, and was basically kidnapped by this woman who wanted to take her baby from her. She seriously sliced threw her stomach, to her uterus and had plans on taking this women’s baby out of her. Crazy stuff man.

So in the dream I go to my Dr’s appointment for my normal 3 week checkup. They take me and my Mommy (yes I still call her Mommy) to the room and leave us there for hours, so long that we end up falling asleep in there and I find my self in a whole other dream about..idk what, all I remember is Santa Clause in a pink outfit, but any way the Dr. comes and wakes us up so we can hear the babies heart beat, which WE DONT HEAR!

So the lady panics and is like “lets try to find him on the sonogram.” So she does the hooking up, the jelly crap and all that and is the baby on the screen? No. So Im like wtf. before I got hear, I was carrying a baby. So the lady goes on inspecting my stomach and points out this huge scar on it and she runs out talking about she’s gonna get the doctor. the doctor comes in and inspects the scar then presses this alarm, talking about I’m a victim of something that starts with a P. So Im like what does that mean? And she’s goes on basically saying that while I was sleep, someone came in the room, cut me open and took my son. I was seriously heartbroken, I was crying so hard in that dream, I woke up crying.

This is when I go nutts trying to figure out the hidden meaning in the dream, but since I watched that show, and I already think that people want to steal my son, I’ll blame it on my imagination plus pregnancy…and eating hella late

A Lil Update-alation

Idk why, but I love putting “alation” at the end of words, it annoys the crap out of my Mom an probably everyone else, but whatever, blah blah.

It’s Me! I’m back!

I fell like it’s been forever and a day since I been able to get on my blog and…idk, blog I guess. Water attacked my computer and destroyed it (R.I.P LaLa), and like a week after that my dear little laptop crashed! And then my phone sucks salty balls, so I kinda sorta been on a forcefull techno diet.

Glad thats over, cause I was straight dieing of boreDUMB (boredumb: So bored that you began doing dumb things, like drawing on your belly…and the walls). But any way, since I was cuttoff from the world I have came into some new tings, small things, but new things, The biggest being pregnant.

I’am 6months now, carrying a little bitty boy and I couldnt be happier about it. It took a minuete to get here ofcourse, my pregnancy was not apart of my 5yr plan, but it fits perfectly now. I wont lie and say it’s fun, my boobs are huge (as if they werent big before) and they ach ALL THE TIME, and I guess people seeing a belly coming down the street takes that as an invisible invitation to touch it, but besides that (and the back pains, and the every 5min peeing) everything else is cool.

Soo on top of growing a kid, school is school. Im sitting this semester out because the awsome side effects of the 1st trimester did not mix with going to class, and since the next semester begins around the time Im exspected to..ya know.. pop, I’ll be taking the next semester online. I soo miss going to school, I be straight bored.com.

Moving on, getting into bussines ventures. Im knee deep in a pretty cool business called Ten Tiny Toes. The idea started with making “re-born” baby dolls and grew into a whole baby boutique, making and saleing baby clothes, furniture, etc. Im pretty excited about that, we have 7 orders fof dolls we’re working on already (Go God Go!) and Now my boutique, which I plan to have by my birthday 2012.

Pheeeeeeeeew, 2012 is gonna be an exciting year…

I figure Im gonna spend alot of time on this blog because right now, Im bored out of my mind (when Im not drawing or helping with the dolls).

Anyway, thats my update-alation…

Barbie Out ;-*
