30 Day Challenge: Day Four

Day Four: The meaning behind your tumblr name 

It is at this moment that I realized this challenge was suppose to be for my Tumblr page , but oh well haha.

My Tumblr name is Floetically Fluent and it simply means that I'm fluid in my poetry and very well versed in flobonics.

30 Day Challenge: Day Three

Day Three: Your day , in great detail.




Get ready to be bored senseless, but here it goes !


Today is my day off so I didn't wake up until 12pm , excluding the brief moment I was awaken at 730am by my dad telling me to put my spare tire in the car. I awoke to a beautiful encouraging and very much needed text message by my coworker and friend , who happens to be the #1 fan of this blog.  She had just read my blog post from early this morning and wanted to give me some advice! Love her. Once fully awoke, and after texting her back,  I used the bathroom like I do everyday and while on the porcelain phone I checked my Facebook, Wordpress & Instagram notifications. After that I returned to the back porch of my dads house where I've been sleeping for the last few days and turned on the TV after remembering that I had only gotten half way through last weeks Empire episode. I got through about 15 minutes of the show before remembering that I really wanted to see the new movie "Jem and the Holograms" today before it went out of the theaters ( it didn't do very well at the box office.) I looked at my phone to check movie times and the closest time was 12:55 and it was 12:56 when I looked. I decided to bite the bullet and go any way , I chose Regal People Plaza theater because it wasn't too far from me, and I hoped that the 15 minutes of trailers would give me some time. Plus my friend gave me a free movie ticket that could only be redeemed at Regal Theaters so it was an easy choice. I got there a little after 1:15 and I had missed a bit of the beginning, but that didn't deter me at all from loving every bit of the rest of the movie. I left the theater wishing that I had watched the famous 80's show that it was based off of , but being a 90s baby kind of took that chance away. I loved the film and would totally recommend it to fellow dreamers , hopeless romantics & anyone wanting to follow their hearts. After leaving the movies I stopped at the Shell gas station to get gas and from there went to the library which is also my current locationI am now updating all my blogs due to my participating in these 30 day writing challenges.. I updated my Wordpress blog first , worked on my artist's YouTube header and then headed to Blogger where I caught up on Holly's Stilettos With My Latte blog!  I am right now, 5:21 pm, listening to BeyoncĂ©- "Still In Love" and concluding this blog post. Today has been uneventful , but good all the same. Heading to BWW for dinner, in an hour or so, with my friend/artist and from there going to the studio to lay down vocals for her next single! Ari Leticia is going to be the next big R&B/Pop crossover artist and I want you all to be along with her for that journey. Well that's all for now! If you actually read this entire thing , you the real MVP.

Late Night Honesty: Draft Two

There's this guy I met a few weeks back that made me this proposition , one I immediately declined, but one I am now reconsidering . He was everything I knew I didn't need and it made me want him even more . The temptation , the wanting it's all very new to me . Operating in the flesh is so very new to me . I'm so use to having this super disciplined guard that I was able to put up without effort and now I feel like it's giving in. I know that waiting is what I want to do , what I need to do , but I can't help but to wonder . Curiosity is going to be the death of me .
He wants to just "play around."
It sounds ludicrous , ridiculous & absurd and yet exactly what my body has been wanting . I fight the urge to text him and tell him to come get me . Take me somewhere I've never been , do something I've never done. I can be the girl who just has fun , right? It's just fun .. What's the harm ? I know the dangers , the consequences and for once I don't give a damn. It could be the 1:40am that's getting to me . It could be the 24 years of waiting . I just want to feel something. Just once. I want to be held so tight it takes away the pain , be kissed so deep I forget my name . I don't want love . I want to be numb .

30 Day Challenge: Day Two

Day Two: 10 likes & dislikes 

In keeping with the theme of my blog , which is love and relationships I will try and cater all my answers for this challenge around that theme. 

Likes

1. Men who love God

2. Men who aren't afraid to let the world know they are in love and who they're in love with

3. Men who aren't afraid to be themselves 

4. Men who have standards 

5. Men who are honest about their intentions

6. Men that stay true to their word 

7. Men with perfect teeth ( That's a bit shallow , I know , forgive me haha)

8. Men who are open-minded and not afraid to try new things 

9. Men who have ambition , drive , passion, etc. 

10. Men who are able to hold a conversation not laced in sexual innuendo 
 
And I think it's safe to say that my dislikes are the opposite of my likes , so I won't bore you with those details! 

Now, is that really too much to ask for ?

30 Day Challenge VLog: "They Never Do"

I want to bring some more consistency to my blog and in an effort to do so, I've decided to do a 30 day writing challenge on both of my blogs! For today's post , I'm suppose to write 10 things about myself but instead I'm going to do you all one better and post a video of me performing a poem last night entitled " They Never Do." When I heard about this poetry event, Voices In Power, I knew that I wanted to write something new and personal. Something that spoke to where I am right now in my life and "They Never Do" is a perfect representation of that. I was a bit reluctant to post this video because with the poem being newly written I did mess up a little bit , but I chalked it up to being human and have decided to post it any way. I pray you all receive it that way my heart gave it.


Have to give a huge shout out to my friend , the beautiful and talented Ms. Ari Leticia, who helped to make this piece one of my favorites :)
