Arbitrary Madness. Artistic Exploration. Dope Things.
“I don’t want to be treated as your equal. I want to be treated a lot better than you.” Blanche Devereaux made me sit up when she said these words. No, I wasn’t up in arms, I was in full agreement. What felt wrong and contradictory to say, was said plainly. Suddenly, I felt itContinue Reading “The modern woman according to Blanche Devereaux. (Season 7, Episode 16)”
It’s easy to look at the road ahead and see nothing but obstacles. Trying days at work. Overwhelming workouts. Emotional roadblocks. And I’m not going to lie to you. There are challenges ahead. You’ve just got to make sure the challenges you face are the ones worth overcoming. The way I see it, there areContinue Reading “There are challenges ahead.”
I’m impressed by DJ Khaled’s consistency. Reading The Keys was like watching his snapchats, but with explanations. Meaningful explanations. If you follow DJ Khaled, you know a few important things: he’s positive, he loves his fans and his life, and he has a lot of catchy phrases. We the best. Fan luv. Lion. Boomin’. TheContinue Reading “The Keys.”
I don’t remember most things about high school. I don’t remember who I sat with at lunch, what grade I was in when I dissected an animal, or half the songs I sang in show choir. I also don’t remember if the story I’m about to tell you is from junior or senior high school.Continue Reading “Lil Jon and the class clown.”
Here’s something you may not know about me–I love music like crazy. I love music so much I got it tatted on me in kanji (because ‘music’ doesn’t look as pretty in English). If I wasn’t so shy, I might have attempted to become a singer, but I am, so you could only catch meContinue Reading “Music City.”
Be blessed. Enjoy your family. Cook out or go to a baseball game. Whatever you do today, make memories, because the ‘man’ doesn’t like giving out free days and this is one of few. 😛
I recently did a “Worry Free Day” meditation, and was amused to find that I’m not really worried about anything. These days I have things I care about, but my general response to things going wrong is, “I’ll be fine.” For example, when a torrential downpour hit during my commute home, I considering freaking outContinue Reading “Worry free.”
More on that book I was telling you about earlier this week, When It’s Real by Erin Watt—it was amazing. If this were a real review, I’d probably tell you about how cheesy some of the lines are, how fast the ending seemed to fly by, and how neatly they tied up the denouement. Fortunately, thisContinue Reading “When It’s Real.”
I have two dogs who are like Abbott and Costello. One’s taller and skinner, the other is shorter and chubbier. Both are hilarious. Cleo, my Doberman, only eats when someone’s around to keep her company. I try to feed her before I start my bathroom routine in the am, because otherwise she’s following me aroundContinue Reading “Gorilla Zoë.”
I always tell people that the first time I encountered The Golden Girls was in the TV guide portion of the Friday Plain Dealer. That’s just wild to even think about. I was maybe ten or eleven looking for something fun to watch. How was I supposed to know that golden implied elderly, and notContinue Reading “Why I love The Golden Girls.”
