I am bitch and all that come before me

 I am committing to finishing bell hooks this week, I want to start Giovani's Room by James Baldwin. So I am reading bell hooks and it according to me that while I have heard and understood what 'self actualized' means I only know it by my context clues  definition  and not the textbook definition.   Self actualized: means realizing and fulfilling your unique potential, creative abilities and your personal desires. (Coined by Kurt G.) Maslow's hierarchy of needs is a conceptualization of needs  that motivate human behavior. I needed to write this definition because I wanted to talk about what I am reading and I did not want to discuss without knowing what I am talking about.    "Young women want to embrace the "hard bitch" image because it keeps them from having to confront the pain that comes when females are pain that comes when females are punished for choosing to be self-actualized and successful."  What we do think, are we embracing...

Macbeth + beautiful words



The sky before it rained yesterday. 

This is going to be a short one. I have to eat and workout. I also have to do some research tonight for my paper. Today for some reason the scene from Donnie Darko where Donnie and Ms. Pomeroy talked and she said that a famous linguist once said the most beautiful word in the English language is "cellar door".   I guess because I am thinking about shutting a chapter (door) on my past and hopefully opening a new beginning with new cycles (I do not think that is the right word for it). I am trying to think of all the words I know and what I would consider the most beautiful word. I like the word soliloquy. Every time I think about that word (which is more often than I realize) it makes me think of Lady MacBeth and her famous soliloquy. MacBeth is actually my favorite Shakespeare play. I loved it. I loved the scenes with the witches, I love the scene with Macbeth realized his fortune had come true just not in the way he expected. It was a good read and actually I watched Denzel Washington play Macbeth in the Apple Tv movie. 

I want to say sorry blog I would have a prompt but I guess today I just felt like rambling. or yapping which to me has a more positive connotation. Work is becoming very stressful and I do not typically say that but it has been. I also decided to make a better financially literate person to not get running shoes just yet but to get the running insoles. I have decided to live with more disicipline and give up sex and alcohol and continue working out in a scheduled manner. I think when I show up for myself this way good things are going to continue to happen. 



Also I am going to end tonight with Lady Macbeth's soliloquy. 

"Come, you spirits / That tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here/ And fill me to the crown to the toe top-full/Of direst cruelty! Make thick blood/Stop up the access and passage to remorse,/That no compunctions visitings of nature/Shake my fell on purpose, nor keep peace between/ the effect of it!" Act 1: Scene 5
