I always suspected it, but this year I accepted that I am just a little insane and that's absolutely okay because most of the folks I come in contact with daily are just a little touched too. We really have to be a little nutty just to get through the day. Quite a few of us would actually be classified clinically crazy because we believe that God gets us through this madness. If you don't believe me, tell someone that God speaks to you. They will have you diagnosed schizophrenic and fitted for one of those jackets with no sleeves. You will be locked in a room with soft walls, drooling at the mouth from the medication.
The fact is God speaks to me every day, all day long, telling me to hold on and I listen. If it was not true I would throw myself on the train tracks and let the #2 to the Bronx have its way with me. I considered it just yesterday, but God said, "No, baby. There is greater work for you to do." I'm not sure what that work is, but I trust that all will be revealed. I have faith; the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen (Heb.11:1).
Embrace your craziness as I have. Take comfort in it. Believe it or not, it will keep you. I'm a witness. But if you see the men with the white coats coming toward you... RUN LIKE HELL!

Well we are crazy together cause I have 90% of those same cd's
Actually I think I'm quite sane...but that's only because I am not NEARLY as crazy as the woman who raised me (my crazy mother), her siblings, their children and MY siblings.
In spite of thinking I'm quite sane, I know I too can have my moments of insanity where I want to just do something crazy. Yesterday I talked to a friend about taking sky diving lessons. Now that's some crazy shyt. Jumping out of planes is not something Black folks sign up for...but I want to! lol
I love your music collection and have many of your faves in my collection as well.
you have a few albums that you have pictured! Alright for similar tastes...
I was dubbed touched when I was in High School...
hell, I'm with you on being crazy - nice collection.
Damn, boy, you didn't know you were nuts until this year? My bad, Rodney, I thought you know. I would have told you if I had known you were unware. I'm sorry.
Oh, and God speaks to me too. Trust me, that is a very good thing. I just wish I listened to him more, but he lets me know that I should have listened harder, no joke.
You are the fuck crazy for having that Last Ludacris album, especially since he won a grammy for that nonsense over Lupe FIasco's Food and Liquor. ( No I will NOT let it go. lol)

Go 'head wit your crazy self. Survival insanity is acceptable in my book. It's that foolishness that make folk go to ashanti concerts and shoot up shopping centers that bothers me.
you're right, your cd collection indicates insanity. anyone who would actually listen to that depressing-ass instrumental version of "christmastime is here" off the charlie brown soundtrack around the holidays has to be nuts. sure, it seems innocuous enough, but it had me searching for the razors on many a sad and lonely yuletide.
