Passport
This is a photo of my lonely expired Passport. I have not gone out of the United States since 2004 when I went on a Carnival cruise with friends to Nassau, Bahamas. That was before the Carnival cruise line started having all the problems they are currently experiencing with their ships. Yes. I would go on another cruise if I could afford it but not Carnival. I’d choose another line.
If I had the money and the time there are many places I would like to visit. Top most on my list is Africa, the Motherland, my ancestral home. That for me would be a pilgrimage a Holy Quest for a part of me that was taken away when my ancestors were kidnapped and forced to this foreign place called America.
These are some photos from Captain’s Night when you are supposed to dress up. What you see behind me is the backdrop they use to make you look better. At that time I was wearing my hair in locs and it had gotten pretty long, nearly all the way down my back. Oh yes there is No liquid or drink in those Champagne glasses. They are fake just like the rose.
As you can see from the pictures I was overweight at that time. I must have weighed a good 140/145 lbs which is not meant to be on a 5’1′ frame. Most of that weight came from taking anti-depressants which by the way don’t work. I was more depressed on the medications than when I stopped taking those stupid pills. Now I weigh 135 lbs and my body though not like it was when I was younger is not lumpy from medication. When I was hospitalized in 2015 once again the Pusherman doctors forced me to taken anti-psychotic drugs even though I was not and have never been psychotic. About a one or two after I was released from that hellhole called Kings Country Hospital I threw the pills in the garbage and never looked back. Medical treatments are worse than the conditions they are supposed to cure. Anyway I’m glad I escaped and that’s a place I promised myself never ever return.

Beautiful lady inside and out.
The picture of me learning against the prop is the best one. NOT the full length photo! Ugh!!
You look so pretty! I really do like the grey in your hair–very sophisticated. Glad you got off the meds, too. A friend was on those things, also, and said they made her suicidal so she did like you–threw them out and never looked back.
Thanks! I had a lotta hair back in 2004 so much that I had to braid it back. Eventually my hair grew so long that I could sit on it!! One day I would like to go on another cruise after I retire. Those ships are like floating hotels and have everything you could possibly want or wish for!! Plus Paradise Island was really nice.
Pretty photos from back then 🙂 I like the dolphin tattoo!
Thanks. That was Tattoo #1.
Ohhhh I like how you just say that and leave it to the imagination to think what are #2 and #3 perhaps and … You should do a post about your tattoos!
Maybe. Tattoos are so common now a days that they no longer have shock value or are interesting. In recent years there have been Reality TV shows about Tattoo parlors or rather Upscale Tattoo shops.
We have been saying for years that we will purchase passports. Then, something derails the plan. There is always next year…lol!
Mine expired in 2014 but I have no travel plans outside the United States so I won’t need a new one any time soon.
