I have to thank my homegirl GANGSTARRGIRL for reminding me of Res’ beauty, but I’ve had a celebrity crush on her for years. For those that don’t know, Res (born Shareese Renée Ballard) is a Philly singer who mixes elements of rock and soul. Her debut album, How I Do, dropped in 2001 to little [...]
Good morning,
Today feels weird. I’m not sure why, but there’s something in the air. I’m not sure if that’s a good sign or a bad one, I guess I will discover the roots of this feeling as the day unfolds.
I realized the other day that I have fallen back on my reflections. This fast isn’t [...]
Good evening,
Apologies for my tardiness. After swim class I went to check my homegirl’s photo exhibit she was curating for “A Great Day in Brooklyn” photo shoot she helped set up a couple weeks back. Afterwards a group of us got up for dinner, during which I came across mostly the same questions about my [...]
Despite their many similarities, the words “want” and “need” have two completely different meanings. Still, people consistently interchange them in conversation like two pairs of the same shoe in different colors. If only it were that simple.
Wants are what we desire. People, places and things we wish for but aren’t necessarily essential to our daily [...]
NOTE: Just in case any government officials are reading this: I, nor anyone on this site, condones the act of flag burning, as it is federal crime and a desecration of the American way of life, which I am proud to be a part of. My usage of the below image is merely a visual [...]
Good evening,
How goes it, good people? Another week in the history books and another sunset closer to the finish line. Catching up with a very dear and good friend Tiffany after work, I made it home a 40 minutes into the presidential debates. I guess, old Johnny boy decided to save face and make an [...]
One thing I can say about fasting, it’s a good way to save money. No lie, since I’ve been doing this, there has been a string of days where I haven’t spent any money at all. Think about it: I’m making breakfast at home, I’m not buying lunch, gum or any snacks, and then I [...]
Good morning,
I’m conflicted about what to write. A few things have crossed my mind this morning already and not sure what to focus in on, so I think I may attempt to cover them all—or at least most—in as a succinct of a way as possible. Apologies in advance for ant randomness…
1) It’s a rainy [...]
Good evening,
The whole train ride home I was thinking, Damn, what am I gonna write about tonight? Well, that and, Damn, what am I gonna eat? The apple I had before I left work helped a great deal but I needed a meal. I finished the last of my leftovers last night and I left [...]
If you’ve ever taken the New York City transit system, you’ll know that anything is bound to happen there. Well, there was this one time many years ago that this random guy tried to strike up a conversation with me on the train and I just wasn’t having it. I can’t remember if it was [...]
Good morning,
So John McCain suspended his campaign (that rhymes) to go and handle the financial crisis in Washington. Uhm, okay. I know he’s a senator and all that but I’m trying to wrap my head around why he’s suspending his campaign. What does that even mean? Is he quitting? Is he calling a time out? [...]
Good evening,
If you look to the left and read the about me section dubbed “Naked Truth,” you’ll see somewhere in there that it says, “Ask me a question and I will give you an answer. It will be honest.” See, I live by a simple rule: Honesty is the best policy. I doubt there are [...]
