Random rantings of the misfit kind.
Ok, it's been a while since I posted, and it's due in part to me being consumed with my thoughts on racism, and not knowing how I could express these thoughts without coming on too strong (maybe I've been reading too many books on race relations, I don't know). This isn't about being an angry... Continue Reading →
Hey everyone, thank you for continuing to follow my blog! Real life has put a slight damper on my blogging schedule, but I should be back on board this week. In the meantime, you can check out my Tumblr, or, a couple of other great blog sites, The Culture LP and Let's Press Rewind. Thanks... Continue Reading →
Since when is a bag of Skittles and a can of Arizona iced tea considered a weapon? Apparently, it always is in the town of Sanford, FL. We've all heard about this story by now, some of us later than others. Interesting that it's just NOW generating outrage, when in fact, the actual crime occurred... Continue Reading →
A lot of my colleagues will submit creative works to me, such as photographs, poetry, music, etc., that they're proud of and want to share with the world. I'm all for the support of fellow creative peeps, so I decided to create a tumblr page to share some of that work with you, as well... Continue Reading →
The other day, I attended a lecture, entitled "Sundays at 4", hosted by the local chapter of The Links, Inc. The lecture, one in a series of many, focused on international issues, this one being about the continued devastation in Haiti, and an organization that was still focused on helping the impoverished country. I was a little... Continue Reading →
In a previous post, I touted how proud I am of the people my city produces, and that definitely still holds true. However, the other day, a friend and I had a discussion about what our city lacks, which, unfortunately, seems to be a place where people like she and I fit in. Where do... Continue Reading →
So this past Monday, MLK day, I was in a car accident. Taking a turn down my own street, going about 5mph. It was snowing-an expected snow fall, mind you-and my street was a danger zone. The temperature was below freezing, so that means there was black ice on the road, with snow piling on top... Continue Reading →
Ah, that wonderful, life-changing piece of paper. You know, the one that's bestowed upon you after four (or eight) years of hell. You held down a job, partied a lot little, and still managed to graduate magna cum laude. It's a big deal, because you're the first in your family to not just go to... Continue Reading →
I'll be the first to admit, I grew up pretty 'hood. Never lived in the PJs, but I definitely wasn't vacationing in the Hamptons either. Things like sugar-water, quarter waters, looseys, mattress trampolines, and food stamps were pretty standard phrases in my vocabulary. I always told myself that I would get out of the 'hood...
