Happy very belated anniversary to me on my second published book!

Hello Tomodachi’s

How are you wonderful people doing this freezing winter cold Friday? I do not know if it is also ridiculously cold on your side of the world but on my side I am freezing my bunions off at the moment.

Anyway, though it has been a while since I last posted, I just wanted to briefly share with you all that a few days ago I realised that on the February 15th it made a year since I published my children’s picture book, Baby Toucan. I had totally forgotten about that until I received an email from my publishers congratulating me about it.

Well, thank you Xlibris for the reminder but you happen to be a little over two week late. šŸ˜‚

Though the year passed so quickly that I feel like I am getting whiplash from how quickly it has gone, I am still grateful that I was able to publish my book and get to see another year.

Happy Belated Merry Christmas and New Year Everyone!

Hey Tomodachi’s,

How have you been these last few weeks during the holiday season? Have you started working on achieving your New Years resolution or has it already become a hopeless case? I have been doing alright so far and have not really started on trying to achieve my few New Years resolutions as yet. Besides working my butt off during the holiday season for my massage job I was also able to share some nice memories and food with some of my closest friends.

Below is a very short clip of just some of the nice things I did with friends on Christmas day. https://quik.gopro.com/v/u5osUQlUA8/

New Years Eve was also spent with friends drinking the night and early morning away in Amsterdam as we watched the ridiculous amount of firework displays. I do not even need to mention New Years Day. It was spent travelling by train to return to my city and regretting ever drinking as much as I did the night before.

I cannot believe that today makes exactly a week since the year 2018 began. We are already a week in 2018! Can you believe how quickly that week has passed! 2018, you just began where are you going?!

Anyway, I am wishing you all the best and hope great things come your way this new year. Have a blessed 2018 everyone!!

Look up

Hello Tomodachi’s,

How are you this fine Friday afternoon? I think I may be getting another cold going by my runny nose, slightly irritated throat and constant sneezing. I did not get over my last cold barely even a week ago. How disappointing that I may end up getting it again…

Anyway, as I wrote on my last blog post on Monday, I had my spoken word performance on Wednesday evening. It seems to have gone pretty well when I think back on the crowd’s reaction to my performance. If you are interested in watching the live videos I had posted you can always go to my Angie’s Inspiration page on Facebook and check them out. I intend to make a mini video of my day leading up to the event and parts of the event itself if I get the chance to do so.

I may not be some genius poet of the sort but I try my best in all that I do. I look up despite my failures, nervousness and being (considered) not good enough. I refuse to remain staring down at my feet because of my insecurities. For how will I know what may or may not lie ahead if I am always staring down?

Anyway, the poem below expresses exactly how I feel and in just a few words. I hope you enjoy it and I will see you all next time. Take care and have a great day everyone!

A poetic kind of day

Konnichiwa Tomodahi’s,

How is everyone doing? I was just thinking about how it has been a while since I last posted anything poetic on my blog. Today feels like a poetic kind of day if you know what I mean. So, I decided to post another poem of mine since it has been quite a while since I last posted one of my own.

Though I have already posted this poem some time back, I made some changes to it and I was wondering if you could spot the difference, if you are even able to find the previous version of thisĀ poem, that is.

If you do not care much about spotting the difference between this poem and the previous version then I hope you just enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing and improving on it. I hope you take care andĀ have a great day.

For a while now, I have become quite disappointed in anime because of their use of some tv tropes…

Hello Tomodachi’s,

How have you all been today? For me, it has been a very windy day not to mention I was having some bike issues because something got wrapped up in the wheel and chain of my bike which caused the chain to come loose and made me have to walk all the way home in this damn windy and cold weather. Though, this is not one of the reasons why I am writing this blog.Ā  Continue reading

Why do some people get so offensive when race issues are brought up?

Hello Tomodachi’s,

I hope today was a good day for you all and that it continues to be a good day for you. In today’s blog post I wanted to briefly get some things off of my chest. It is my blog, after all, and that is partially the purpose why I started it up besideĀ wanting to share my poetry and writing. Continue reading
