today's a new day

I know, that's kind of OBVIOUS, but creative blog titles escape me. So I put in whatever comes to mind. And it's true. There's really a lot more profundity in that statement than it seems right off the bat. It's a new chapter, a clean slate, a veritable mountain of cliches. Anyway, today is a new day.

And yea verily, it is a new chapter in my life. Don't know 'bout anyone else's, but it is the start of a new worldview. My paradigm has shifted. (Look! Another cliche!) Why is this? Well, I'm really not going to say! Hahaha...and yes, my evil/mischievous/heinous/[inserts another negative synonym] nature is still quite intact. Perhaps in a few days I'll discuss why. Perhaps. :)

So I went down to the waterfront with some friends today. I have wonderful friends. Really, really, really wonderful friends. (I love you guys!!!) Did a little walking, saw another friend in a beauty parlor--now I know where she works, I can return to torment her! :) --and stopped in at Kahili. My first time to be there, it's a pretty sweet place. The decor made me want to go back to Africa to chill at one of the "resorts" on the beach. :)

In fact, all this warm weather is making my heart think fondly of beaches and deserts and tropical rainforests. I want to wear long, flowing skirts and my Muslim veil again. I want to walk on white sand beaches and smell the outdoor markets. I want to be back home again. *reminds self: Christmas...it's soon enough!*
