Not your Hair, huh?

What she'd be better off humming is: I'm not this album.
Has anyone heard India.Arie’s newest CD, Testimony: Vol. 1, Life & Relationship?

It has been “tradition”, as farfetched as I can stretch that word, tradition, to buy and support India’s work since her debut in 2001. In fact, a little Ken trivia for ya, India.Arie’s Voyage to India was the very first album I ever purchased—Acoustic Soul was burned. But the objective was that I had THEM. I was collecting them. Like trinkets, I was savoring them…for posterity…for my grandchildren. Alas.

My sister, who loves me, but could never bring herself to admit it, Karen, bought me the CD. It was on sale at Circuit City. And after reviewing Testimony: Vol. 1, Life & Relationship featuring the hit single, I am Not my Hair, lets just say….India, please, kick it up a notch! Even the title is wordy. VomiT!

But in the weather today, on the home front, my lesbian is going to teach me how to swim this summer. Supossidly I’ll be taking my first dive into the pool at Ridge Park this Sunday but there’s been debacle about going to the Taste of Chicago and Rainbow Beach in the spirit of gayness on Sunday. The park’s opening hours cascade with the other events. Alas. I haven’t purchased a pair of swimming trunks yet, so If by Sunday swimming is till up for debate we’ll just reassign Lesson 1 for next week.

But in the weather today, on the personal front, I did go shopping as I promised myself. We (as in myself) bought shoes, T’s, socks and drawz…so far. I shelled out 300 bucks for 7 pair of jeans and 3 pair of khakis…4 pair of which didn’t fit/and or I didn’t care for the style, at Gap.com, so they MUST go back; and FootLocker, where I, of course, purchase some foot gear, stiffed me twice on a pair of Sketchers I’m itching to sneak my feet into—they’ll be arriving Tuesday.

As for the underwear, the collection is starting off small and modest. Very modest. As of now I don’t own a fancy pair of anything yet, everything’s still boxer brief-ish. I’m still getting warmed up.
