Rudeness

So I was out and about early this morning getting my taxes done and on the way back home this lady sits next to me, lights her cigarette, and blows smoke right in my face. Uh really?! I moved and she had the nerve to give me the stank face as if I’d done something to her. This woman was flippin’ them thangs in her mouth one after another in the span of ten minutes. She wasn’t concerned about her lungs or mine. However, when she walked away abruptly she says to me, “I didn’t mean for the smoke to bother you.” SAY WORD?! Yeah I was irritated for the next fifteen minutes UGH.

On another note, my brother from another mother, Darion got to see Nikki Giovanni today and I am so glad he was able to get audio so that I could listen to her voice. I LOVE her. Listening to her recite “Ego Tripping” gave me goose bumps. My favorite line from that piece is “I am so hip even my errors are correct…” I listened to the audio twice. It made me pull out every Nikki G book I have (Blues: For All The Changes, Love Poems, The Prosaic Soul of Nikki Giovanni, and Quilting The Black-Eyed Pea). I would love the opportunity to see her live and direct. One of these days, the universe is gonna make that happen for me.
