THANKSGIVING

This Thanksgiving went by as sort of a blur. Since my family don't celebrate anything I usually spend my holidays with Actor and his family. But his parents are going through some sort of separation phase so they're not together for this occasion. We were invited to his cousin's house so we came through to show our face and ate a little bit. The food was alright. It wasn't the best but we're thankful to even have a hot meal so we can't complain. lol. We then went to our friend Fro's house to chill with his family for a bit. I'll call him Fro because he has this huge fro that people be diving in and getting lost and reach the other side of Narnia and shat. But yea... Me, Actor, Fro, and a couple other people went to the movies to see Casino Royale. It was great. The chase scene at the beginning was CRAZYYYYYYYYYY; that's a movie worth checking out.

By the way, if I haven't mentioned, I love movies. That's one of my passions. I 'll stay in (or go out) and watch movies all day if I could. I also want to be an actress one day. I'm working towards it :-)

But anyhoos, for this Thanksgiving I'm thankful for: my life, my family and friends, Actor and his family and friends, love, joy, happiness, pain, good times, bad times, everything and anything inbetween. They have all made me a stronger and better person and I'm grateful for everything. I hope you have lots to be thankful for too.

Thanx for reading. Until next time... Akanke

SLEEP & THE LACK THEREOF

I've been up all night...

Actor has a cold and he's not feeling too well. We went to sleep and I woke up a few minutes later because I was hot. I rubbed his arms as always and I felt that that was where the heat was coming from. I felt his shirt and it was damp. I felt his forehead and it was soaking wet. I got up, got a washcloth and patted his face down. He stirred and woke up for 20 seconds and fell back asleep. I've been up all night ever since just to check up on him. Gotta make sure my baby is ok.

I love watching him sleep. He's so beautiful (in a manly way of course. lol) He looks so innocent and peaceful that it gives me a peace of mind. When I wake up and I see his face it starts my day off right. When I have a nightmare and jump up out of my sleep I see his face and I'm instantly calmed. He holds me just to make sure.

I hate my job. I really do. But when I wake up in the morning and I see him, it drives me to go to work. I gotta provide my half for the both of us. I would never want him to go out and hustle all day while I'm at home doing nothing. I'm not a homebody. I have to work. I wake up and I see him and I remember that certain Roc outfit that he wants, or that certain game or guitar book and I get up and get dressed for work.

We're gonna be big one day. Mark my words. We're gonna be the next Russel Simmons and Kimora; Jay Z and Beyonce, Will and Jada if you will. You'll see. But we'll still be the same people. We'll still laugh and have fun. We'll still eat good. Just that we'll be able to provide for each other and for our family and friends. We'll still work hard, doing what we love: music and movies.

HE IS

Actor is the best boyfriend I’ve ever had and the best man that I know in my life. He is. He’s the best man that I know. He raised the bar so high (for my expectations of a boyfriend) that no one else that I talked to could even come close to measuring up to.

He’s on time, and even early, if I need him to pick me up somewhere. He asks me how my day was and genuine cares. He calls me to share good and bad news. He calls me out when I’m doing something stupid. He’s my best friend. He is.

He gives me two straws cuz he knows that I like to drink with two (you get more drink man :-D) He brings me food, heats it up, and bring it to me in my room with his own fancy folded napkins. He cooks for me. He feeds me, even in public. We do what we do, even in public, cuz we could care less what people think or say about us… He’s my personal chef. He is.

He puts gas in my car when he drives it. He checks my oil and everything just to make sure my car is running properly. He washes and cleans my car (even though he’s the one that messes it up 90% of the time. lol) He calls me to say “Be careful” when I’m on the road and the weather is bad. He is my protector. He is.

He buys me flowers “cuz it’s Thursday.” He calls/ texts me “Hi” or “I love you” randomly. He kisses me on my forehead and runs his fingers through my hair until I fall asleep. He rubs his feet against mine when we sleep. Our face touches and we breathe each other’s air when we sleep. He drives my body crazy day, night, and even in between. He is my lover. He is

I don't care about big gestures; I don't care about money. Simple things like that make me love him so much. Even when we’re broke and down to our last half a cent we still have so much fun. Just simple every day things show me that he loves me, and I always try my best to love him just the same, if not more.
