For years I've had a type of love-hate relationship with my life...most specifically my goals and dreams. I have so many things that I want to do and accomplish, and sometimes I feel like it's either too late to make some of them happen, that I don't have what it takes to make them happen, or that I'm just not in the right place to make them happen. Fortunately for me, feelings aren't an accurate representation of what actually is, nor are they in charge ...
I'm not one to jump on the bandwagon of social commentary when it comes to things like this-- mostly because anything that I can say has already been said...by everybody!-- but I kinda feel like branching out and flexing my blogging muscles a bit. So, here it goes.
The recent news of Bishop Eddie Long's alleged trysts with, now, 4 young men in Atlanta has caused quite the social ki-ki in both the African American and gay communities. At first, ...
This has been a great week! The past few weeks, really, have been well above average. For the first time in a long time, I feel emphatically content and happy with the life that I am leading and the direction in which I'm heading. I've got my job, my health, my friends and family; and there are little pieces of promise and opportunity fluttering all around me that I'm eagerly collecting and placing in my "to-do" bag of purpose and legacy.
Within all ...
On Friday, my friend Music Junkie came over to make rice krispy treats and hang out. As we chilled and chatted- bouncing around the apartment to the tunes coming from his Macbook- this question came up. It's one that had us a bit perplexed. Not daunting or depressingly so, but more in a "Hmm...that's interesting. When the fuck did that happen?" kinda way.
While I may resemble this characteristic more than he does, Music Junkie and I are "oreos." ...
I have stuff to say, but don't feel like saying it. Or writing about it.
That is all. ...
It's moments like these that bring tears of accomplishment to my eyes. As minimal a success as it may seem to anyone reading this (is anyone reading this??), I have over-delivered on my Design Template Challenge; and as a result...Voila...I give you my new blog template!
Courtesy of Themeforest and my good friend, Husani, I now have a new, sleek design that I am incandescently happy and in love with. It's exactly what I was looking for- something ...
Back in 2005, after having a breakdown chasing this uninterested boy around a club, I adopted into my life a therapist...Dr. Eyecandy. I would divulge to him, in our weekly meetings, the most intimate, secret and worrysome details of my life; and he always listened with attentiveness and care. He became a friend, in that weird doctor-patient relationship kinda way. And then in 2008, loss of job --> loss of health insurance --> goodbye Dr. ...
Do the work, and the excitement will come!
Last week was one of the most productive and enjoyable weeks I've had in a really long time. It was one of those weeks where I found myself singing, "Oh, what a beautiful morning" as I skipped out the door heading to work each day. Everything was going my way!
At the start of this week, however, my song had turned into a quiet hum; and my skip, a lazy gangsta lean. "What happened...where'd it all go," I ...
I love it when a movie inspires me with a new recipe. Recently, I watched the adorably delicious movie, "Julie and Julia," and experienced a foodgasm of epic proportions watching Meryl Streep & Amy Adams create culinary masterpieces in their kitchens. While many of the featured dishes put me in a "I gotta cook that!" frenzy, there was one meal in particular, made my Amy Adams' character "Julie," that sent me running to the supermarket! The Tomato ...
I haven't done a Good Job, Jesus post in a really long time. I promise I'll bring back the hawt boys, but tonight I gotta give it up to something I just came across that totally made my day!
Surfing through my Facebook friend's statuses this evening, I came across this video, courtesy of an acquaintance of mine, that just made me feel so very good! Let's see if you get as excited as I did when I watched it...
Ok, a little tidbit about me. I LOVE ...
