i miss these things.

• seeing more than 5 black people per week
• taking my nephew for drives every other weekend
• seeing my mother every other weekend as well
• listening to tom joyner in the morning on the radio while getting ready for work
• making love to the same woman multiple times per week
• her scent on my pillow
• hangin with my friend Jeff and catching a movie
• baking cakes for my department and the cakes being devoured within 30 minutes
• seeing more than 5 black people per week
• the African World Fests every summer in Milwaukee
• the Arab World Fests every summer in Milwaukee as well
• having my family to rely on when my friends are busy and it's the weekend
• turning on the radio and hearing Jill Scott, Luther Vandross, Anthony Hamilton and D' Angelo and others of that genre
• taking the train to work in  DC
• having too many friends to hang out with.
• not having to call 50 people to see what they have planned for the weekend and having only one person respond
• driving with my friend Henry to atlantic city every payday friday
• seeing more than 5 black people per week
• being in love
• being happy
• i think i even miss the snow, even though I remember hating it. but at least i was with family
• having social things in common with the people I meet
• happy hour with friends after work
• knowing every one in the gym and the ease with which I made new friends
• making love to the same woman multiple times per week
