Reading Rut
So it’s that time of year when I no longer want to read new books, I want to revel in the comfort that I found in titles I love. I used to be sad when this feeling rolled around but now I relish my re-reading of Macbeth, 100 Years of Solitude and everything that Junot…

Daily Prompts: No fair
http://dailypost.wordpress.com/2013/09/20/daily-prompt-fair/ The depressing thing about this daily prompt is that there are infinite things to write about like women’s equality issues, the recent increase in gun violence, Bloomberg…etc. I don’t think there will ever be a time when we stop having these kinds of issues until we learn to consider other people. Growing up in…

My Xanga Account
OMG. Did you have Xanga? I’ve been blogging for a long time, it started years ago with Xanga. I was so excited to find a social networking site that wasn’t about meeting boys/girls. It really was about people wanting to express themselves. For me, it was freedom. At the time I got a Xanga account,…

I’m currently watching; If God willing and Da creek don’t rise; a follow up documentary style film by Spike Lee.…

Parody Movies
So, I don’t know who actually goes to the theater to see Parody Movies, but I’m going to have to ask you to stop. I’ll even throw in a please. Please don’t get me wrong, I’m not some kind of elitist…I’m a concerned citizen. I watch those movies too, but it’s normally when I can’t…

I miss…
When you miss someone, what is it that makes you ache? Is it the big things like them not being around you or is it the little things…like the way smelled after a shower?

The hardest part of moving forward is getting rid of all the things in your life that are damaging. That does include people.

My Mother
Every time I see my mother we get closer. I know that seems bogus but here’s the explanation; for most of my life I lived without my mother being a door away and my father was non existent. My grandparents took over my welfare when my mother moved to the US so that she can…
