Sometimes I wish.....
- Publishing my books, in the way I want, was as easy as riding a bike
- They made a next generation Cosby Show
- Hip-hop music was as inspiring as it used to be
- I could understand women
- Women could understand me
- The world really came with one of those "Easy" buttons
- I slept as much as I should
- Being intellectual and Black wasn't looked at as strange
- I could cook like the Neely's
- I had finished college the first time around
- I could have loved my son's mother better
- Life tasted like a giant glass of Coke
- My family members all had financial stability
- More people knew who Corrine Bailey Rae was
- I did the right things 'cause I really wanted to, instead of 'cause they were the right things to do
- Everyday felt like Christmas, circa age 7
- My deceased family and friends were still alive
- People understood their true potential
- Computers didn't crash so much
- God had a cell phone number
This is the annotated version of my list. While thinking through this I realized that, like most of us, I have an infinite number of wishes.
Here's to making all of the practical ones come true.
