A couple of days ago, I was having a conversation about the lack of a viable creative community in San Diego, or at least one I could find. I lamented on how I'd been lacking with my writing and other creative pursuits, and that I wanted to get back to doing "cooler" things, and creating... Continue Reading →
What the Cuff…
I really hate the term "cuffing season", just as much as I hate what it stands for. To me, it just illustrates how shallow and self-centered our generation can be, how pathetic we can appear, and how anti-social we actually are in this "social"-media heavy society we live in. We spend seven to nine months out of... Continue Reading →
“Love Jones…I’ve Got a Love Jones…”
Yup, it's another post about dating. Kind of. I guess it's more so about relationships, situationships, buddies, whatever. And apparently, I have a very steep learning curve. Many of you probably remember the late 90s movie, Love Jones (one of my favs!). In the movie, Nina and Darius meet each other at a nightclub (which,... Continue Reading →

I didn't really care what anyone was doing or posting (not in a negative way, because I do care about my... Continue Reading →

For many people, that can seem like a hassle, but for me, it's a blessing. The idea makes me nostalgic, reminding me of a much simpler... Continue Reading →
“When I Spit Them Lyrics…”
Today's post was going to be serious. I swear. I read something earlier in the week that got me all pissed off, and I couldn't wait to vent. I started the post, and planned on finishing it this weekend. But my weekend was so relaxing, and I couldn't bear to get myself all worked up.... Continue Reading →
The In-Betweens
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 →
When inspired…create.
So, I've been addicted to Twitter for the past few days, trying to find some inspiration, some reason to create. I came across a great blog post today, by one Mr. @MIKE_2pt0. He referenced the absurdity of our infatuation with popular music, most notably hip-hop and its extravagant tales of fame, fortune, and fantasy. He called... Continue Reading →
