Daily Post: Strike a Chord
http://dailypost.wordpress.com/dp_prompt/strike-a-chord/ I’ve played a few instruments here and there but my best has always been my voice. Understand that when I say best, I don’t mean that I have any kind of vocal prowess; I have an average voice. My years in the church choir taught me a lot but years of not exercising that…

Forest Gump
Reading has always been like music to me. I could close my eyes and see the words hovering above me in the air…taking shape into the story,character’s laughter weaving spells around me, landscapes enveloping me…so it’s no surprise that I would use it the same way most people use music; to help process. There are…

Slight Pepper Please
Prompt: http://dailypost.wordpress.com/dp_prompt/ring-of-fire/ As a Caribbean girl; spicy food is a way of life. It’s so common that I sometimes forget that it’s not “home food” for the entire populous of the U.S. With that said; I have Public Service Announcement. Spicy =/= Seasoned Since seasonings don’t end with a salt and pepper shaker in my household,…

Wanderlust
http://dailypost.wordpress.com/dp_prompt/the-wanderer/ My love for travel is second only to water; my Mother worked at the Consulate for our Island so I was exposed to the idea of this vast world quite early. It’s always been my dream to visit all of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Not sure what a UNESCO Heritage Site is? Criteria…

Sadderday
http://dailypost.wordpress.com/dp_prompt/saturday-night/ work throughout the weekends so Saturdays for me a weeknight as opposed to really feeling like the weekend. Unfortunately my friends with real careers and non-retail generally have the weekends off. (Who am I kidding, I don’t have friends) The issue is that most cool events, shows, kick-backs and most fun things happen generally…

The call of the water
Daily Prompt: http://dailypost.wordpress.com/dp_prompt/have-you-never-been-mellow/ My escape has always been water. My Mom loves to tell the story of the time we went to the beach when I was around 5 years old with our Church. In Trinidad, at the time, most Pentecostal churches had a retreat or getaway during Carnival time. On the final day of said…

Holy Grail
http://dailypost.wordpress.com/2014/03/05/prompt-sleep/ I’ve been fortunate to not be in a situation where I’ve ever over heard ill will directed toward me. However I have been in a situation where I made a realization that a young lady I thought was a friend was not and of course; I’ll explain. So. I won’t say her name, it’s…

Vice Vice Baby
http://dailypost.wordpress.com/2014/02/19/daily-prompt-rick-roll/ There aren’t many vices that would make me raise an eyebrow for more than an second. I assume that most people have multiple; some that they are willing to share and others of a more private nature. The only issue I have with vice are those who do everything in excess. You know the…

The first time I fell in love
http://dailypost.wordpress.com/2014/02/14/daily-prompt-its-friday-im-in-love/ It should be no secret that the first time I fell in love, it would be with a character from a book but the first time I fell in love with a book; it was a more memorable occasion. I was in High School in America and my English Teacher had told us only…

I could teach you how to speak my language, Rosetta Stone
http://dailypost.wordpress.com/2014/02/10/daily-post-take-that-rosetta/ If you don’t get the lyric reference, I won’t judge you. If you do; yay you! I’ve had quite a few brushes with language; because of my interest in culture. I go on these culture interest binges and of course, a big part of understanding cultural nuance is language. Growing up in a melting…

Your turn to wash the dishes
While I love cooking, I hate washing dishes. Yes, hate. The “deal” in my household is whoever cooks, is absolved from washing dishes. This still doesn’t work because I hate washing dishes, even on the days when I didn’t cook. I can’t identify what it is about the task itself that I hate; but I…

You can find it here: First Post: https://angirach.wordpress.com/2009/02/22/rihanna-chris-brown-and-fame/ Second Post: https://angirach.wordpress.com/2011/03/27/why-im-finally-mad-at-chris-brown/ Okay; I try not to write about pop culture here too much because I’m not a therapist or psychologist and while my opinion seems like it’s based on fact; it’s not. All we…

Daily Prompt: Kindness
http://dailypost.wordpress.com/2014/01/23/daily-prompt-kindness-2/ It’s entirely to easy to be braggadocios when an opportunity to play up a “good” trait is presented so instead, I’ll write to you a bit about how I learned to be kind. My Mother left for a New York and I was sent to stay with my Grandmother (very typical scenario in West…
