Random rantings of the misfit kind.
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 →
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. The show, I believe, played an integral part in raising me: it showed me that there... Continue Reading →
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 →
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 →
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 →
I've been complaining about this all day, so it was by sheer chance that the homie @A_Double_U was kind enough to create this soliloquy that expresses my sentiments exactly. Enjoy and check out his blog, Let's Press Rewind! Think Outside the (Chocolate) Box by ANWAR W. on FEBRUARY 14, 2012 If you are like me, you subscribe to the... Continue Reading →
