Pump it up!
Today was the first time in close to two weeks that I felt in complete control of my body. Despite the cold and my weak immune system I managed to get close to what my daily walking distance today. On sick days I take more shortcuts and generally try to find food within a 1-2…

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…

As seen on…
I took this last fall. I couldn’t resist. I hope for this level of companionship at their age. What I couldn’t capture was how they were smiling and leaning on each other as they continued to hold hands while walking down the street.

The Rise of Internet Media Houses
One of the most talked about shows right now is House of Cards, which is a Netflix original (well, actually we stole it from England like most of our other good shows) and to finally have a show that’s premium channel (HBO, Starz) quality but at the flat rate of your Netflix subscription is rewarding.…

Beauty of Silence
When I was a little girl I had a lot of time with my thoughts. I could sit on the verandah of our house and pretend that a chain of events occurred that allowed me governance over everything I could see. I would pass laws and observe people as they walked by, most of them…

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…

The benefits of trendy fitness
I’m not sure how I feel about it all to be sure. I work in the Sporting Goods Industry and I see all kinds of fitness levels all day and have for almost 8 years. The one thing that’s happened within that time is the sub culture that exploded surrounding “fitness”. With this new trend…

Humanizing Man-Hood – Vin Diesel’s cover of Stay
I woke up to something that really warmed my heart. Mr. Diesel plays one of my favorite characters; Riddick. This video is the one in question: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5t-CmCwhZo My first reaction? I was trying to harmonize with him, he needed some back up. He was on pitch (when he was singing in the right octave) and seemed…

Writing through the Blues
So if you’re on twitter you know the phrase “tweet through it”; that kind of sums up what I’m trying to do with this blog. I have this problem with consistency when the negative feelings about myself and my writing creep in. 2013 was such a tough year for my family and I and I…

Memories : Pictures and Phone Calls
Growing up in the Caribbean in the 90s with limited technolgy meant that every day things like watching TV and taking photographs were a luxury. I remember my class mates assuming that my family was rich because at one point, we had a TV and a telephone at our house. Part of the weekend culture…

Lonely Reader Syndrome
It’s hard to describe the feeling I get when I complete a book. The closest I can come is to the “level” up feeling when you get all the secrets in Mario; accomplished, whole, conflicted and the irrevocable feeling of scibility. After that feeling passes; I usually feel lost because I have no one to…
