The Drive.

I have a bad habit of looking around at other cars to see who's in them. You never know if your future husband is in the next car and all you have to do is cause a collision! (ok, I'm kidding about the collision part).

I don't know if I take an odd route, or what, but I'm consistently noticing that on my way to work, I see very few black people driving along with me. I don't know what that's about, I mean, I'm black, I drive to work, but when I look around, it's not my peeps I'm seeing driving too. I mean, I know that most black people have jobs, but I don't see them on the street.

Are they all taking the bus? Is it true what they say about us not being able to wake up in the morning? I mean, true it's sometimes a little hard to roll my butt out of bed, but damn!

I've noticed this for a while, and it depresses me somewhat. I'd like to see more of my people on my way to work. So I can throw one fist in the air and say "yes, we're on our way to work!" It's just how I feel.
