Everyday Strangers

I love New York and all that it is. Growing up in NYC isn’t for everyone but it damn sure is for me. Riding the train this morning, in a packed subway car I realized that morning routines can be so solemn. You have a bunch of strangers standing or swaying to the rhythm of [...]

Those Three Women

Karma came by the other day and rained on my parade.
However, it was expected that she would visit. As I was walking out of the building the other day, I didn’t hold the door for this old lady. I thought nothing of it at the time. Being so consumed in my own routine, I sometimes [...]

Imagine

Expressing love
in love
Being loved
with
No heartache
Living life
Settled for life
in a place
Where there are
No earthquakes
Talking to
Being talked to
Amongst one another
without
A raised voice
Being accepted
Feeling respected
and
NEVER
once rejected
Because of your choice
Being wanted
Needed
and
Appreciated
for
Who you are
as
A person
Not being sought after
Harrassed
Stalked
or Ridiculed
for
How you look
as
A person
Free medical
Dental
Vision
Water
and
Speech
A humane society
Law abiding citizens
People who actually
Practice
What they preach
Soaring the skies
Walking amongst beasts
Inviting all of your loved ones
To [...]

Free Writing: Haters All Around

Here I have my second attempt at ‘Free Writing.’ Still trying to break the habit of making corrections. I caught myself backspacing twice (still can’t get past the punctuation part though – so it isn’t exactly free). But this is how it works as mentioned on Greg’s Writing Blog:
The rule is simple (see details): Get a timer and [...]

Janet Will Never Out Live Nipplegate

Janet is making a comeback in Tyler Perry’s “Why Did I Get Married?”
Too bad she cannot go to an interview without people bringing up nipplegate.
As I was reading about Why Did I Get Married? blowing out the box office in its first weekend I came across a video of an interview with Janet Jackson and [...]

Breaking Up Is Easy To Do

My, my, my how life has changed over the years. There was once a time when you would have to call someone to communicate with them (if you couldn’t see them in person) or send them a letter through the mail. But with the invention of text messaging and e-mail,life just gets easier.
When I first [...]

Money Doesn’t Buy Common Sense: Michael Vick

Perhaps, I’ve been living under a rock but I didn’t know who Michael Vick was until this dog fighting mess hit the press. I came to find out he was one of the highest paid players in the NFL (something I’ve heard but cannot prove). I actually thought he was in the NBA until someone set [...]

Why Be A Mother?

Motherhood is something many woman have cried over. Some cry because it is out of reach for them. A prime example would be Charlotte from Sex in the City. Here you have a woman who longed for a child yet her body wouldn’t allow her to produce one. I understand that she is a fictional character [...]

Standing Still:Still Standing

For the past couple of months, I’ve been somewhat at a standstill. Many things were consuming my mind and taking a major toll on me. I was so out of the loop and I didn’t feel like myself. No ambition, no determination, no will and drive to work, eat or do the things I’ve grown [...]

Tat Tat Tatted Up

Think that tattoos are sexy? Some do… Some don’t… I’m tatted up. What about you?
Is this tatted Granny doing too much?

This Is Why I Blog

Forgive me bloggers for I have sinned. It has been 20 days since my last post.
When I don’t blog or write for that matter, I find myself feeling disappointed in myself. feeling as though a goal that I have set out to accomplish is not being met. This trickles down and brings self doubt and [...]
