Random rantings of the misfit kind.
So it’s as if someone heard my desperate cries. I complained, I pouted, and thought our city might be hopeless. In my post, “The In-Betweens”, I discussed how there was nothing, nothing to do for us 80s babies in Hartford. In response, a friend of mine created a site, Hartford Soultree, where she listed all...

One of my favorite hip-hop songs came on the radio the other day, and man, did it make me feel like a kid again. It was Ghostface Killah's, "All That I Got is You", and even now, those lyrics never fail to get me choked up. It brings me back to a place that most... Continue Reading →
Ah, Memorial Day. The unofficial start of summer...and the official start of flossing season. It is now that time when people bring out their leased and over-paid for "summer" vehicles (usually from the garage of their parents' home), go on a wild summer clothing shopping spree, and begin to brag about all of the places...

Thursday, April 30th, 1992. A sad, sad day...well, at least for me. From the moment I began watching television, Thursday nights at 8pm were reserved for one thing, and one thing only: a new episode of The Cosby Show.

This isn't about being an angry... Continue Reading →

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 →
After a great discussion the other day about the demise of the beloved R&B group, Anwar (@A_Double_U) came up with the first in our series on R&B groups. Please comment, and enjoy! For people who long for the days when lyrics mattered, Pandora and Spotify are godsend. The other day, I was truly jamming to... 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 →
