Why I’m not worried or sad about Justin Beiber
Let me preface this with linking to my previous posts about Chris Brown. 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…

Book Four: The House of the Wind by Titania Hardie
Not quite what I would typically read but I’m trying to be a bit more open

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…

Daily Prompt: One
http://dailypost.wordpress.com/2014/01/14/daily-prompt-one/ I’d want the one person to be someone that needed to read what I wrote. I don’t know what I would say, but I would hope they found solace and a sense of peace while reading. That they would know that they were not alone, not struggling through life by themselves. As long as…

The Goddess Chronicle – Natsuo Kirino
I’ve been a fan of Natsuo Kirino for some time; my first run in with her was with Out. A fellow voracious reader recommended her when I said that there were no female mystery writers. I read Out, twice, back to back and then moved on to Grotesque and The Real World. I was mesmerized…

Quirky
http://dailypost.wordpress.com/2014/01/12/daily-prompt-quirky/ I have way too many quirky habits to cover but I will discuss my official Pen Policy which is simple: don’t touch it. Growing up in the Caribbean fancy pens and pencils were the crown jewel of many a student’s pen case: that’s always stuck with my and I spend time researching new pens,…

Daily Prompt: Heroic
http://dailypost.wordpress.com/2014/01/10/daily-prompt-hero/ I don’t remember who my hero was at 5, but considering I wanted to be a Ninja Turtle with all my heart…I’ll go with Leonardo. I sincerely believed at the time that I could do it, I just needed to learn how to fight. The issue that arose very quickly with the physical aspects…

Daily Prompt: The Outsiders
I live a block away from an open lot in NYC. I have many pictures of cats who have made it their home. We leave food for them sometimes and based on the empty tins and boxes around, we aren’t the only ones. As a pet owner it makes me think of the plight of…

Daily Prompt: Style
When she walked in the room there was a collective gasp she was the queen and they knelt as she walked passed they were at her bidding and she wasn’t even aware cold, click clicking of her heels down the stairs

The deceptive nature of Delta of Venus by Anais Nin
I found the Delta of Venus in the Bargain bin at Barnes and Noble on one of my almost daily visits. It was a steal at $5.96 and I endeavored to read it as soon as I was done with my current read, which was The Doors of Perception. I couldn’t start it after because,…

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…

Mornings
My own tears woke me up this morning. Violent and unsettling. I was dreaming of her again and I let myself find comfort in a lie I can only tell when I’m asleep; that she’s available to me in a way that I could recognize. It usually starts with me trying to call on memories…

Untiltled Ramblings.
Romantic Love is never and has never been enough for broken people to find illumination for their path. There is so much more to life to be fixated on the love of one person. Be open to love from everyone in your life and things will be different. Love your friends, love your family, love…

Here comes Fall
Fall is one of the most beautiful times of year for me. It harkens the death that becomes life in my second favorite season; Spring. I look forward to the deep changes, the falling leaves that go through a rainbow of color as they fall and start to rot and become one with the soil…

Daily Prompts – Stand Still
http://dailypost.wordpress.com/2013/09/24/daily-prompt-stillness/ If time were to stop right now, it would be near perfect. I’m watching http://www.saltybet.com on the computer, Ice Age: Continental Drift and this is one of the rare times that my cat is sprawled across me. If I could tweak this moment, I would move the cat to bed and I would still…
