Foreign Object

Briskly walking through the streets, thinking of lying in bed to rest up for another day, I make my way to my building.
Luck and time are on my side as I see the elevator awaiting my arrival.
Pressing the button for my floor, I contemplate the many activities I must complete before I count sheep.
Finally, the [...]

Ghetto Cart

I tried to come up with a story to explain me finding this cart in the hallway last week. But I could not find the time to make up a story that would seem creative and entertaining at the same time.

But what I am left with is with is the realization that I live in [...]

Fatty Water

I recently went to the movie theater and this signage caught my attention. I wasn’t aware that water had calories. And someone please tell me why the small bottle has up to five but the large has zero.

Door 2 Door Trash Inquiry

While walking out of my building this morning I came across a bag of trash blocking the door.

After returning to the building and watching a bit of the morning news, I heard a series of knocks in the hallway followed by several doors closing.
And then, I heard a knock on my door.
“Housing,” the voice said [...]

Does Low Income Equal Low Class?

Most of you know by now that I am what you would call a Morning Person. I appreciate the title and own up to all that it stands for.
Like most mornings I jump out of bed with ease. This morning I woke up on the couch.
I arrived home late last night (or should I say [...]

Homeless Workouts

Focused, I was as I was walking to my connecting train. I felt a tap on my shoulder. Oh, it’s one of my colleagues from one of my many jobs. Any time I see her I know I’m late.
SHE: This is twice in a row I’ve seen you this week.
ME: I know. Go figure. And [...]

Don’t be Cheap when Everything Else is Free

While sitting at my desk the other day, I received a phone call from a friend. They wanted to go out for drinks. Seeing as how my schedule would be busy for the remainder of the week, I thought that today was a good a time as any.
On arrival to the spot of choice, I [...]

Shades of Brown, Shades of Racism

One of my colleagues walked up on me the other day to seek my opinion on a matter, which has been disturbing him. He told me that he felt discriminated against because of the color of his skin. Actually, it wasn’t just the color of his skin that was the problem but his specific shade [...]

Fair or Unjust?

Yesterday while at daycare, my youngest niece was struck with a plastic hammer on her knee by one of her classmates. She immediately went into shutdown mode and my sister was notified. My niece was taken to the hospital because she was obviously in pain and wouldn’t talk. Today, we find out that she was [...]

People Can Be Ugly: Drink Up

The world can be a very evil and ugly place. This world if filled with people who are looking to make a fool out of you. They are looking to humiliate and disrespect you for the sake of their own amusement. Be warned!
I say all this to bring you to a video of something that seems [...]

Spitzer & The New Sins: What I Learned Today!

When I woke up this morning I learned two things. One, Elliot Spitzer paid a woman $4,300 for some ass. Two, the Vatican has added more sins to the list of deadly sins.
I’ve read, watched, and heard all I need to hear about Elliot Spitzer and realize that he is a bone head. How goes [...]

It’s Not Always About Black History Month

Thank you, 2008, for giving us an extra day for Black History Month. It is greatly appreciated. Not sure if anyone has learned anything new about Black people and the history that Black people have made in America and across the world but the month is still appreciated by many.
While attending a seminar the other [...]
