So in true Spring form- its almost wedding season and love is in the air right- of the smell of strawberry air fresheners masking themselves as the smell of love....ehhh....either way this is supposed to be the season of warm feelings and even warmer weather- when birds are chirping and hearts are singing.....bull**** bull**** bull**** eff love and everybody that's in love- yep I'm a hater and I own it....
I digress-I really don't hate love-I love to be in love and I have loved very very few- try 2- but I appreciate the notion and even appreciate even more so those who have been blessed throughout life to experience such a feeling laced with lollipops and gumdrops because I thankfully sure have. Some say I have the spirit of the black Carrie Bradshaw and I have definitely dealt with a Mr. BIG in the past but no one that has thrown your girl over the threshold which btw I would appreciate a proposal of such in a size 41 Christian Louboutin Crystallized Stiletto. I've been loved by many people in life so much enough for me to let them go and for them to do the same for me. And there is no greater love than to recognize that it isn't what is or was what it was enough to let that person go and allow them to find what person they are worth falling for.

You may ask- where is Domo going with this one and wtf does it have to do with TOMFOOLERY- well I tell you to wait for it...........wait for it......BOOM. So many of us are quick to not recognize when something has ran its course and become TOMFOOLS ourselves enough to let go of what is not meant to be. I can say that because I have been foolish in the past to believe that if I become what someone wants me to be I can experience what others have and live in FAR AWAY LAND- happily ever after like Shrek and Fiona or Aladdin and Jasmine or even Ronnie and Sammy....no wait- forget the last one- cause then I might end up on Snapped..
But I felt inspired by another Facebooker today and her status "RELATIONSHIP101: GOING BACK TO AN EX IS LIKE RE-READING A BOOK..YOU ALREADY KNOW WHATS GOING TO HAPPEN #justathought"
And it really got me to thinking- how many times have we re-thought or re-read the books from our past. Some books were better than others, some were children's books cause they just couldn't grow up, fiction cause they were full of more s*** than a patrol horse trolloping down 6th street, non-fiction- written by my own accounts of bulls***, science fiction cause some of crap they did and said was out of this world, a few self-help novels cause my Lord knows you could only help your self dude and even those few short stories which were idiots that weren't even worth the time I took to read them or flip the pages.
You can always tell what kind of book you read by the timing in your life. If you were adventurous and spontaneously in college, or crushing in high school or post-grad and scoping these real world rats and ragamuffins for how "100% REAL" they are *cough bull**** cough*- the title always told the timing of your life. Was it "ONE FISH TWO FISH RED FISH BLUE FISH" cuz he had a roster that included a couple of your cousins and friends or "HE'S JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU" so self-explanatory especially for those collegiate girls and guys.
Then there were those few coffee table reads that just by the cover made you wanna pick them up and read only to learn that their pages were as blank as a check written by Bill Gates and Oprah for rent. And the few very few thick novels that were just too heavy & their pages were too worn cuz too many sisters had handled them and packed them around in their purses.
Lastly, the books in the back of the shelves that came with warnings :EXPLICIT CONTENT: no not those books but the ones that were the only 2 books that made you actually take a good look at yourself and what you had become- they were books that when you read them- they gave you self-reflection like none other and everytime you tried to put it down- you couldn't help but go back and read it again and again cause it never got old....until now...the 2 books that contained detail by detail and play by play and chapter by chapter of your life.
But what makes us the biggest fools is when we try to edit books and change the content. Don't get me wrong you can definitely write your own novel noting wants, needs and expectations and even pen your own happy ending but you will only have yourself to blame when your final copy is nothing like the manuscript.
We all have our foolish moments when we feel like we aren't on the SAME PAGE- be it the handbook entitled "COMMITMENT, TRUST, & UNDERSTANDING"..So before we all decide to box up all our books and sell them to Half-Price or even try a buyback for all my college kids- make sure you're done reading all of them and hold onto the classics like "GREAT EXPECTATIONS" & even "EAT, PRAY, LOVE" because those are definite must reads in my book club & should I and the authors of those ever meet we will definitely write a sequel with a foreword by LOVE
