04/06/2004 Entry: "april 5"

My work stuff is going great. I had a staff development training for my mentors today and it went really well. Caught the eye of my bosses so everything is going my way right now. I will be looking to bring on a few new people so if you know anyone have them send me a resume to: Poetnocturnal@yahoo.com, I am now in the business of employing multi talented artists. I am fulfilling a niche.

I love the acentos crew all of them are pure life. they are tainos in the true meaning "people of the good". There is very little that feels uncomfortable around them. I danced tonight. I laughed. I hugged. They are my womb.

I went to Bar 13 tonight. I haven't been there in over six months. It seems like longer, but it must be only six months. I was definitely there at least once after nationals. I went today and felt wonderful. I didn't feel the pressure or the awkwardness. It had all faded away to to forgiveness and memory. I was never in a bad relationship with anyone at 13 or anything, I just felt this weight on me when I went there. I no longer feel that weight. I have come around to what I knew in the beginning. I still have my friendships and whats more I still have the love for the place. This place with the same number as my birthday. Unlucky symbol, superstitious holiday. Tonight it seems I was reborn to thirteen as a spectator. A friend who celebrates without hating without commenting, I have no stake, I ?have no qualm. I will be there much more often from now on. look for me there, I will be watching from the back I will be the stranger who oddly knows everyone.
