more chocolate & a hankering for Alex

Am abusing chocolate, I feel for me and for it, I guess when we abuse food it's never as satisfying because it is meant to be savored; hence our constant want for more. I have just eaten six fox's chunkies and they were delicious but they help me forget things I want not to recall...and now I loathe them. Anyway, I am going through that time of the month when my moods are all over the place. I wish I could gather them all in one basket, too much loss of self control, food urges and cravings - all too disturbingly evil. Sat with Wendell(one of my African American friends) on the bus to the New Campus, we talked about post colonial writers, Mbembe, All Mazrui and a non-one , Cornell West. I want to read 'race matters' its a book! I did not know. Anyway we talked about Uganda and Alexandria and he wants to come to our trip to Alexandria this weekend. Apparently him and Gamil Nkrumah (Kwame Nkrumah's son) are starting up a black community as they sense a need to start a Pan-Africanist space for people to get involved and also help create an African perspective in the Ignorant Egypt. Yesterday I made raisin cake and had Kenya and Tiffany over, we talked about men, Baha'i faith, race and countries. It was kind of interesting to hear the African American perspective on life in America and the world. Oh, how could I forget we talked about Dave Chapelle and Tiffany has met him, she said he is such a lovely person and friendly. am so full of chocolate, hence my incoherence... looking forward to the weekend away, am in desperate need of a break, Alexandria here we come!!!
