The Point of it All.
I feel guilty when I don’t blog post as much as I used to, want to. When I do have a writing spell, I feel awesome that I’m able to be cohesive and make a post that maybe reach someone or validate a thought they had. When I don’t write, I feel like I’m denying…

Why I dislike 50 Shades of Grey
When the books got popular I had no choice but to get them, I wanted to know what all the fuss was about. The content was supposed to be steamy, leaning to the BDSM route, how can I resist? I read all three books back to back in the space of 3 days. I was…

How we view women: Kim Kardashian
I was posting on my twitter account but of course long winded rants don’t do well in the repetitive confines of 140 characters so, let me elaborate. This is how it started.

At Last – Cyndi Lauper Cover
At Last by Etta James has been stuck in my head all day so I got home and got on Youtube; one of the first results was a Cyndi Lauper cover, I clicked it while laughing and saying it was going to be a hot mess….I was wrong. Who knew Cyndi Lauper could blow like…

Amy Winehouse – Tribute
The first Amy Winehouse song I heard was Fuck Me Pumps off of her debut album Frank, not a popular album in the states by any means but it was a shocking introduction. When I googled her and saw this tiny slip of a woman I was shocked beyond all measure. Her voice was astounding.…

Waiting for Superman – Watched
I was always aware that there were issues with the public school systems in New York but I assumed that this was because of the density in the population and the hood. I suspected that disadvantaged neighborhoods in places like CA and MI would have these problems as well because of the similar socio economic…
