BACK... FOR GOOD / PURE LOVE

Hello everybody, Guess who's back?

I haven't been on here in a while, I know…

Last post was before I went to Milan (Italy) for a family reunion, it was a 2 weeks break I really deserved, See, my last year in college was a very long and difficult one so when I finished, I just felt like going to a place where I knew I would find pure and deep affection, love, calm, serenity, a place where I'd totally let go of all my stress, and for me there's only one place in the world for that, my grandmother's place in the city of Como, just about 30 minutes from Milan.

2 things now :
1 - I don't want people to be confused because I said I was a black man in the beginning : I'm mixed, both my parents are european/afric
an so i'm somethin like that too, lol, I have an Italian grandmother married who was married to my African grandfather ( who's now gone ) and on the other side, African grandmother and French grandfather... I had such an amazing childhood with so many places to choose from when the summer arrived, ooh those were the good old' simple days!! (Sighs)
2 - Lake Como! I just have to talk about it!! That place is one of the closest to what heaven must look like in my opinion, the lake, the extraordinary towns around it, the restaurants, the people, the delicious thick and crusty pizza
after an afternoon spent in the water, the pasta, the tender meat served seconds after it’s been taken off the grill, the excellent wine, the good atmosphere,… If anyone goes to Italy, please take me as your guide, I wanna go back home, again and again and again!!

BUT… Now that I think of it, was it really a break? I have a big family; I always had people around, I slept late but had to wake up very early every day... kids running around, people cooking, people talking, people drinking, eating and even people singing! Others were playing soccer, basketball, swimming, those who just screamed for any and every reason and the worst kind: those who would open my door, and actually wake me up with something like “hey are u sleeping?” damn! That house, was it paradise after all???

Well that chaotic house is MY chaotic house, so as messy as it gets, it’s my #1 spot in the world, it's like a celebrity spa, everybody treats u right and then it's all FREE… There’s nothing like a house filled with people who just love one another, because they all love u too, ain’t it great to have more than one lover but no drama ? (smile)
