Conversing Caziah's Favorites: Music~ Who Are You Listening To?!!

My hairstylist asked me during my styling session, what type of music do I like.
When I told her I like a bit of everything. She asked to hear a bit of my favorites.  
*Chuckles*
 My closest friends KNOW this absolutely one of my FAVORITE topics to converse.
 I  LOVE music. 

I fucking LOVE music with all my soul. 
Music is such a huge part of my life because as an visual artist, I have to music to keep my mood amp up during my painting frenzies. I do love R&B, Soul, Rock and Funk. I even like a little Metal but what gets my fire going is EXPERIMENTAL music. 

Here's a few  my favorite artists and songs currently.

In the comments tell me what are you listening to?

Conversing Caziah's Favorites: Blogs ~ People I Follow Online/(Labels: Are you um, mentally ill?!)

I am silent supporter of several blogs.

*Chuckles*

Something I need to do is comment on the postings of my favorite bloggers but sometimes I don't know what to say unless I because I can be a bit chatty on topics that interest me. However, I think when credit and respect is due, you should encourage and support someone.

*HEARTY LAUGHTER*

* But-ta-rah*

The last time I commented on blogger's posting it lead them to ask me if I had Asperger Syndrome,  because I jump through topics quickly, 
which really hurt my feelings. 
I called my partner and best friend to ask them if I had any traits of Asperger.
 *I know, dramatic right? 
I  do have a mental illness and it's my fear that I will develop others as I aged or there is 
one that has not been recognized. 
Needless, to say I stop commenting on blogs because of the comment made. 


So it is  bit awkward for me to converse with new individuals these days.

 *I like to read people to understand how I can approach them. I design a game plan in my head how to hide my thoughts and personality. Something, my partner tells me to stop doing, just be my awkward self. People will accept me or they won't. I am not a defective because I am chatty and awkward.

My BEST friend echoes this to me as well. :)

My friend "Joe" said in the years to come "everyone" will be recognized as having a mental illness because it's very common and overlooked. *He has a longer explanation scientific reason for this but I don't have all the verbiage.*

So I have a wonderful support system that loves me and understands my awkwardness.

WHO CARES IF I SOUND LIKE A FRAZZLED BUBBLY BEING RIGHT? *Side eye* Right?



 I am really shy around certain topics like, coughs, conversing about myself. The internet allows me to slowly place my thoughts in order to come across fluent and sounded. (pun intended). Things that I am not when I am EXCITED or NERVOUS.

I used to just be OVERLY goofy and silly to mask my personality a bit. I was known for being the goof ball but now I am not so much of a goof ball anymore I'm actually more relaxed .

No more hiding behind a lot
LAYERS
and personas,
alias/names,
 projects,
my friends,
 my partners
 and more layers.

Just plain ol' Caziah.

I think a combination of  surrounding myself around STRONG individuals. Usually people you can "eat" a lot wisdom from and very OPINIONATED, therapy, journaling/blogging, and LISTENING to myself has helped me reach this point to relax with just being me.

 Um, so where was you going with this Caziah? You are not following what you entitled this!

 Oh, so over the holiday break, I begin to look and examine why I like a lot of the following bloggers. Well, one I realized is that a lot the bloggers are like what I aspire to be: Comfortable in their own skin.

Here's my favorite bloggers list... *I do know some of them now... because they reached out to me. snickers

So I Used To Call Myself A Poet: I Used Crush On H.I.M

I was left in a trace after he spoke with a rhythmical beat
Moving me, moving the lust into passion into desire of curiosity to know him better
Spoken word really doesn’t fit him MC either
Although after each reading I do always heard
Saul-Jill-Mos-Ursula flow moving through my ears 
Words definitely made a thousand pictures of his  reality 
Our reality of Africans in this society 
Poetic chemistry 
His words felt like warmth of breath 
Kissing and caressing each part of me
Sensual, hard yet still soft
His flow moved me
Dizzy by how he impressed me 
Confused by what he gave me
Loving his creative energy
Sending me into a high school crush 
Not wanting to reveal because 
I am not a groupie or a hoochie trying to give up her coochie 
Maybe it was the fact 
I never had to the courage to admit 
I had thing for him since the very first day I laid my eyes on him
Maybe it was my chubby cheeks concealing my tongue 
Whatever it was 
I could bring myself to three simple words
I like you 
I'm digging you 
Sweaty palms and beads of sweat arise on the forehead 
At the very thought of telling the secret, which left wetness and blackberries harder than diamonds 
Sweeter than chocolate
Anxious, but not like Ginuwine 
Not wanting a ride on his pony but his company
With some conversing 
I might build up the courage to read this poem aloud 
To make my thoughts become feelings 
To make my invitation real 
Taking a chance at this 
Opening myself to the nudity of raw emotion 
Embracing the admiration of him
