Mani Love + the tragically beautiful death of the 5 spot + love

1. My cat Amani... she's really a beautiful animal. both of my cats are actually. All black with very sleek and shiny coats. But little Amani Love... the girl... she's go this beautiful bright eyes and her fur is a little longer and a little softer. you can tell by the way she sits that she's a lady. she does everything with a feminine edge. as oppose to her brother who is always pouncing a little more roughly than necessary. they really are so so funny.

Amani Love my Kittie

The picture is kinda dark but you can kinda see her. I have tons of pictures of her brother but oddly enough, Amani doesn't photograph well.

2. Proof: Power of the Rainbow.

So the five spot burned down this weekend. Its such a sad moment for so many people. tons of artists got their start on the upstairs stage... especially during the black lilly event. That place means a lot to people on a personal level too. including myself. I wouldn't know half of my friends... and i definitely wouldnt know my boyfriend... i wouldn't have experienced the last 3 years of my life... the good, the bad, and the ugly... had it not been for the five spot.

It will most definitely be missed.

In one of my earlier posts, I mentioned the beauty of the rainbow. In this picture of the burning five spot, a photographer actually captured a rainbow. Its definitely a sign of comfort and hope.



3. its cliche...

I love being in love. Love is beautiful.

Rainbows, the City, and my Baby.

1. Today I like rainbows... not that I've seen one today. but they really are beautiful.

2. The City is amazingly beautiful. From a visual standpoint, with all of the architecture and different people, etc. Philadelphia can be wonderful. I like it especially at night. Driving west on 76 from down town to my part of town... The highway goes almost above and to the left of down town so you can really just glide beside it and take it all in... Lights and skyscrapers... Art museum in all its grandeur... boathouse row. Beautifully beautiful.

3. My man sleeping. His mom thinks so to. I left him sleeping today. Sucked to have to get up and go to work while he got to sleep in. :) but im glad at least one of us got a break today. He works hard anyway so he deserves a day off everynow and then. but yes... he is beautiful when he sleeps. lips and eyes relaxed... and you wonder if he's dreaming and if its a nice dream...
Not sure if its because I love him... but he really is just so peaceful when he sleeps. I guess its possible that everyone is peaceful when they sleep.
