11:00 A.M.A.D. – Jamal

Al Hamdulillah!!!

I am in WACO, Texas.

I always heard them announce buses going here and was always glad I was never on one of those buses.

But here I am.

It has creeped me out ever since David Koresh and his cult madness.

You know all I remember is that some people got shot up.

Let me G it. BRB

Okay wait.

We’re riding through the city and it is a deserted Sunday morning

Hella creepy.

Looks like white trash central.

The city is bigger than I imagined.

 It reminds me of Needles, California

Where all of the residents looked like the products of incest.

Texas has a symbol too.

Like New Orleans/Louisiana has the Fleur de Lis.

Texas’ symbol is the five-pointed star.

Like the Cowboys or The Lone Star State.

I’m surprised I never realized it before.

But I saw this guy with a baseball hat on and it just had a star on it.

I thought that was cool.

Everybody knows it’s for Dallas.

But I’m taking the scenic route on this trip and have spent two days in TX

And there are stars everywhere.

But it’s also brown everywhere

Where it’s supposed to be green.

I’m like

“Why don’t you water the grass?”

L.A. has an excuse

Maybe they’re going through a drought too.

Either way

I don’t like it.

It’s ugly.

Maybe it’s because it’s Winter

Because A LOT, I would go so far as to say MOST

Of the Trees are Brown too.

There are a lot of cattle eating this brown grass tho.

If this is what Winter in Texas looks like,

You can have it.

I’ll take Manhattan.

*****

I think I might go to jail when I get to New Orleans.

I don’t have any money and I need to eat.

I don’t really want to go to the hospital

BECAUSE

They know me.

They know me in jail too

BUT

I haven’t been in a while.

I got kicked out of jail in Nevada.

Craziest thing I ever heard.

They said they were giving me a “Kick-Out.”

LOL

Have you ever heard of anybody getting KICKED OUT of JAIL???

Only me.

I don’t know WHAT I’m going to do when I get to New Orleans.

I mean,

My Faith is in Allah and Zawji

They always surprise me with something great

BUT

I always have to suffer a little first.

This anxiety is suffering.

Not knowing what to expect.

The worst part is being cold.

I can steal to alleviate hunger

AND

I can handle being dirty (although I detest it)

BUT

Being cold is the worst.

It got so cold last time I was here I couldn’t believe it.

And L.A. was like 80 degrees.

Worst thing was the rain.

I would even take rain over cold.

Clothes dry fast when you’re wearing them.

I’m at the point of even humbling myself to the point of trying to take advantage of their homeless resources.

I think about what happened last time (when they turned me away for no reason other than I’m a Muslim) and I STILL want to try it.

SMH

Looks like I might have to take off my garment too.

I mean and put on other clothes so I can wash it.

I was hoping maybe to wash it when I get this hotel but unless they have automatic dryers, it’s not going to be dry by checkout time.

I would go to some fast food place and use their automatic dryers but I don’t have anything else to put on and I am not about to stand there in my underwear…

I know where to go for services but that’s about it.

I don’t know the procedures except that they make you wait like all homeless resources.

I’m officially in the south.

The sky just got ten times more beautiful!

The clouds are on overdrive racing across the sky.

Two layers of clouds and the beautiful Sun high above.

Hawks everywhere and almost just as high.

I hope I can find the Moors this time.

I always find the Hebrews but it’s like the Moors hide from me.

They know I just want to mess with them.

LOL

When I found the Hebrews in L.A.

It was so funny.

We were outside West Angeles

And one of them got so mad he ripped up my flier.

I was like

Oh No he didn’t.

He was that mad at me.

But what could I do?

I couldn’t put it back together.

I mean, I could but I had a ton more and really?

I was not about to get into a fight with no full-grown man.

Been there. Done that.

Besides, I know he was just mad and that’s victory in itself.

Why you mad tho?

LOL

I got to go in and see my old Pastor

Who is now a Bishop.

I pretended like I was deaf so I could sit in the front row.

I was trying to get as close to him as possible.

I wanted to kill him for lying to me as a little girl.

But he looked like he has one foot in the grave already

SMH

I mean he could barely stand up.

LOL

I remember when he used to run across the stage and kick his leg up.

I know his audience has been there awhile too

BECAUSE

There were parts of his sermon that everybody would recite with him

In Unison!

All I could do was shake my head.

I mean,

I saw Whitney reference preachers reciting their scripts word for word in Preacher’s Wife

BUT

I didn’t know anyone who did it.

Or at least,

I didn’t know I knew anyone who did it.

Anyway,

I’m glad he’s almost dead.

I know he’s a Mason.

I interviewed him in the nineties

When I was on my spiritual quest.

I know he only granted me the interview because my father used to be his deacon and his wife was my first grade teacher

BUT

Going back to his church was like the chickens coming home to roost.

I was so pissed.

His security guard practically felt me up ostensibly trying to get me up out of there.

I felt so dirty.

Christians.

But I’m satisfied knowing he’s so close to death.

All Praise Is Due To Allah For The Honourable Elijah Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him)

Everything in Texas is big.

I remember my daughter telling me that when she came out here to visit a friend.

And it’s true.

It’s like someone hit the zoom in this matrix.

And these southern devils are so ANNOYING!

Everytime I hear one, it takes me right back to pre-1865

AND

I

JUST

WANNA

SCREAM!

The Black people sound cute.

It’s almost unbelievable that they actually talk like that.

In New Orleans, the Black People have completely different accents than the devils.

AND

The devils know it too

Because they try to say “Baby” like the Black people.

AND

I’m like

STOP.

😀 😀 😀 😀 😀

12:00 p.m.

I’m so upset, well kinda because I’m not going to be in L.A. for PAFF (Pan-African Film and Arts Festival)

Oh well.

Next year,

In Sha Allah!
