I think I've done like four or five friend requests for Erykah Badu over the last six months and nuthin'. No friend add. This makes me sad.

I love Erykah. She is an inspiration. I listen to her music all the time. Hell, I'm listening to it right now. And she's got like 30,000 friends on MySpace and I'm not one of them.

I like to think that if we ran into each other in real life (other than the time I saw her amazing performance in Austin in March), we'd chat and it would be cool and shit. I'd talk about my apple tree and she'd remind me that like is a circle, all 360 degrees and maybe tell me how to get my stomach centered within the universe.

Erykah's busy, I'm sure, being totally funky somewhere, but I have a tiny, tiny tear in my eye because of all the people on MySpace, she's the one I want to be friends with the most.

Go tell her she should add me, would you?
