Natalee, Joran and "that young Peruvian woman"

Don’t you think it’s time for another post?

Well hello! Welcome back to my sporadically updated blog :-) Just got back from a well deserved, week and a half long vacation in NY and I am feeling refreshed and rejuvenated! It’s a new year, full of promise (unlike 2011…) and I want to start off with a post because I haven’t written as much lately. I … Read more

I Am Not My Weight

I used to love myself… Not in the narcissistic way that you’re probably thinking of, but in a different way – the way you’re supposed to love yourself. Loving yourself can be hard, especially when you’re as masochistic as I am… Self-love is so important. I remember my mother used to always tell me that … Read more

Mel Gibson: 90s edition

Mel, what have you done? I dunno what to say about Mel Gibson. I mean this really takes the cake. I remember his anti-semitic tirade against a cop in 2006. I brushed it off because he was drunk. Now let me stop here. I personally don’t believe that we should hold things people say when … Read more

Taste of Chicago

CPD State of Mind

Yesterday was a long day. I had work from 8:00 to 4:00 & class from 5:30-10:00. As class is ending the professor tells us that he’s moving to Los Angeles at the end of the semester. I frown and ask why LA. “It’s so superficial,” I say. (I was born there, so I can say … Read more

What Kind of Crazy Are You?

I’m of the opinion that we’re all crazy, although few are willing to recognize that which lies within. Just accept it and I assure you life will seem a lot more interesting. Realizing you’re crazy (there are varying degrees of course) is a very freeing notion. It releases you from the constraints placed on you … Read more

The World’s Worst BFF

I hate that term… Here’s the deal. I don’t have a lot of friends. Never did, so the idea of going out of my way to maintain friendships does not appeal to me. Why? Don’t get me wrong. I’m not selfish in the way you are thinking of… I bend over backwards to help everyone: … Read more

Crossed Wires / Mixed Signals

I’m a pretty adventurous person, but rarely am I an initiator of things from a romantic standpoint. I prefer to sit back, let things happen and see where they take me. From there I will decide if I want to take things further… There is no point, no moral to be gained by reading this … Read more

Sandra Bullock and the Post-racial Adoption Era

If you’re like me, you don’t really follow entertainment news, but nowadays it’s nearly impossible not to find yourself bombarded by updates on current celebrities. You’d have to be living under a rock not to have been paying attention to the latest news break in the entertainment industry… Sandra Bullock has filed for divorce from … Read more

Au Naturale

I decided to conduct an experiment. I wanted to see what would happen if I wore my hair in its natural state. Now technically, I already do that. I don’t wear weave & I haven’t had a perm/relaxer since I was 10.  It took out all of my hair & I decided I never wanted … Read more

Anatomy of a Nigga Moment

Well, well, well… I didn’t think I’d have anything of interest to post so soon, but something interesting happened to me… I had a nigga moment. Yes, I went straight from “uppity Negro syndrome” on Tuesday evening to a “nigga moment” Friday morning. Before I take a stab at explaining what exactly a “nigga moment” … Read more
