The purpose of this blog is not to sit up here bashing all the Instagram hoes but I just seen something that baffled me. So here’s the scoop, I follow a certain hip hop artist and he posted a video on his IG. Nothing out of the ordinary, they like to post every part of their every day. Why because people…
Constant/Unconstant Moon
Last night while driving, I noticed the moon. This night in particular the moon had just been full a few days before and was beginning to wane. It appeared reddish and about the size of a chocolate chip cookie. I found my mind begin to wander. With all the civilization around me, how would I feel about this moon if…
A Day With The #PMS Monster
Well for most men, they deal with the repercussions of the being on the recipient end of PMS. If you aren’t aware, PMS (Premenstrual Syndrome), is something that occurs before a woman has her monthly cycle every month. The increased hormones a woman experiences can sometimes make her irritable, stressed, body ache, etc. So here is a day in the…
J. Cole: A Dollar and a Dream
Let’s face it, today people just don’t buy CDs anymore. Ask a 5 year old what a cassette tape is and I bet you will just be answered back with a blank stare. Quite frankly, I don’t even remember the last time I wandered into a “FYE” (For Your Entertainment, a popular chain store that sells CDs, movies, etc) and…
Eye Of The Tiger: The Girl That Wrestled…
One of my favorite stories to tell is when I went to state for wrestling in high school. Now this isn’t centered on the bragging aspect. This was one of the moments in life that tested me and I fought hard to persevere. First things first, yes, I was a girl wrestler. My first two years I wrestled mainly boys…

What Doesn’t Kill You, Makes You Stronger
I get sad. I cry. I get mad. I throw a fit. Then I feel ashamed. Ashamed that I let anything get to me. Ashamed that I became emotional. Ashamed at my own weakness. I give myself a pep talk. “Get it together. I saw this coming. I’m not weak. I’ve been through worse. This ain’t shit. Keep your head up.”…
SXSW 2015
SXSW, South by southwest, is a great event that occurs in Austin, Texas in the spring to showcase movies, music and interactives. This year for the first time I went to the music week and attended several of the showcases that went on from March 17-March 21. I was able to purchase a music wristband because I resided in the…
Rushing To The Altar…I do?
Back when I was 25 I had just gotten out of a long emotionally abusive engagement and then out of a short rebound relationship that got violent. I was on the mends as they like to say. So I was feeling down and out. My frame of mind was that I would never ever get married and just be pushed…
Mardi Gras!
The first I went to Mardi Gras in New Orleans… What I expected was a weekend of girls gone wild type activity and some terrible decisions that would lead me to avoid all mirrors and contact with anyone human for a while. Not that I do those types of activities often or ever. My only ever exposure to what it would be…
