Graffiti – Chris Brown’s Redemption Song

I’ll say it and I’m not ashamed to either: I listened to Chris Brown’s new album Graffiti and bought it in support of the man’s art.  I’m a music lover and I have an ear for quality and for crap and you have to give credit where credit is due — the sh*t is FIRE!!
Alright, before you [...]

Michael Jackson’s This Is It

After I left work Wednesday, I went straight to the theater looking forward to seeing Michael Jackson’s This is It. Arriving an hour early so that I can pick my seat instead of being left with slim pickings was my goal. When I arrived to the theater I thought there would be [...]

Angel Taylor – Lost in the Fog

Music is as subjective as ice cream, we all have a flavor that resonates with us, whether it’s deep rich chocolate blues or a nutty flavored Amaretto.
I was assigned the task to review Ms. Taylor’s new album and at first I was hesitant — not wanting to say the “wrong” thing, but as I thought [...]

A Long Goodbye – Memory of Mike

For MJ
When you got your assignment from the spiritual realm above,
you took yours seemingly with no complaints –
the cost of being a living version of love
the slings and arrows of gross injustices
and at times
outweighed the patience that lived within your work
would you do it all over again?
If knowing that the cost of being human -
Loving,
Breathing [...]

Notorious: A Movie Review

Every generation has their bad boy superhero, like a meteor, speeding through the sky blazing a trail for other like-minded individuals to follow behind . . . but at some point all meteors freefall, usually by their own doing. In the case of Christopher Wallace (aka The Notorious B.I.G.), his glory potential was cut down [...]

Get It On

It is a slow day in the office and the weather is warm. I think I’m going to go out and actually sit at a restaurant for lunch. 
One of my favorite pass times, when I’m not actually working at work, is perusing YouTube for funny videos. This one I found entertaining.

Have a great weekend.

Foto Friday: NHL Winter Classic 2009

New Years Day was but a week ago but it is still vivid in my mind as I remember sitting in the freezing cold watching an NHL game for the first time. The Winter Classic is one of those rare events where the NHL played at a Baseball Park. History was made that day, at [...]

When Finding Yourself Goes Wrong – Part 2: Finding Love in the Big City XVII

When we last left our heroine, she was contemplating whether to go on the date with the bicycle passerby.
Dating Note # 1: NEVER LET A COMPLETE STRANGER MEET YOU AT YOUR HOUSE.  IF THEY TURN INTO A STALKER, THEN YOU’RE FUCKED.
Me: Uh, not my house, why don’t we meet here at the train station.
Man: You [...]

Sex and The City

Life had been heavy lately. I haven’t blogged much but I’m doing well for myself. Thank you Meleah for reaching out and thinking of me. I’m fine. Just busy.
I’ve been working more hours lately. Getting out of work after the sun goes down has been more routine than foreign.
Just the last Thursday I left work [...]

Minorities Under Siege: The Art of the Super Bowl Commercial

I, Too, Sing America
I, too, sing America
I am the darker brother
They send me to eat in the kitchen
When company comes,
But I laugh,
And eat well
And grow strong.
This was one of my favorite poems growing up, not just because Langston Hughes was the only poet that we studied in depth for Black History Month, but because at [...]

Happy Birthday Bob Marley

Happy Birthday, Bob Marley (nee Robert Nesta Marley)
I’m not a fan of Reggae music but I can appreciate the impact that Bob Marley has had on the world.
I remember watching I Am Legend where Will Smith is conversing with a young woman in his living room about Bob Marley and she looked at Will in [...]

Knight Rider

So I hear NBC is bringing back Knight Rider. Oh happy day… I hope they do it better than what they’ve done to The Bionic Woman, something they should have left alone.

 If they can bring back the A-Team I’d be a happy camper.
