Whitney Houston - Another gone too soon. 1963-2012

2012-02-12T11:30:00.002-06:00

Yesterday we lost another treasure in the music industry. As someone pointed out via twitter “@phontigallo Worst Black History Month EVER.” We lost Ms. Etta James in January, Don Cornelius earlier this month and now Whitney Houston. She had one of the most powerful voices I had ever heard. She is known for singing the Star Spangled Anthem at Super Bowl XXV like no other. I remember her from

The Smith Family Mardi Gras 2012

2012-02-12T10:50:00.000-06:00

Well another successful Smith Family Mardi Gras party has come and gone. Great times were had by all with the food and dancing. My girl Danielle came out with two of her coworkers. I saw two of my former Wellston coworkers there as well. I enjoyed myself with a few drinks that unfortunately are still buzzing in my head as I write this post. Afterwards some of my cousins went downtown to

Pre-Smith Family Mardi Gras Party Madness

2012-02-11T07:20:00.004-06:00

Well this morning I woke up and stretched myself out after a much needed and deserved rest/coma. My mother and I stayed up till 11PM last night to get the salad prepped for the Smith Family Mardi Gras party that is being held tonight. From what I heard all the tickets for the event have sold out and it should be just as big of a success as the previous ones. This will be the 12th year that we

Valentine Gift's FAIL

2012-02-08T19:13:00.000-06:00

As Valentine's Day approaches I can't help but wonder what gifts might be given. Most women I know enjoy roses, candy, or even a romantic night on the town. Yet there are others who will be unfortunate to receive a gift/surprise and wish to God that they had not. I was thinking of a few that I will list. Please feel free to add to the list. For Women 1. A gym membership (unless a previous

Don Cornelius - To Most the Soul Train Inovator, to me a relative I never knew

2012-02-01T17:55:00.001-06:00

As a kid I remember watching Soul Train on TV, always fascinated by the dancing and performing acts. Always wondering who the heck was that pretty asian lady with the long hair and the sequin outfits? Thanks to Google I found out her name was Cheryl Song. Her picture is below: But I digress. I heard this morning that unfortunately Don took his life this morning. I heard it through internet

Coffee, Curls, & Cupcakes, oh but don't forget the Confidence (Healthy Hair)

2012-01-30T20:54:00.003-06:00

Good evening to all, I hope so far your January for the new year has been enlightening, refreshing, and all around just better than the January you had in 2011. Yesterday I went to an event called Coffee, Curls, and Cupcake. It was an event held at the Matthew Dickey's Boys and Girls Club. The event is centered around Healthy Hair Care. I remember hearing about the event from two sources. A

Happy New Year 2012

2012-01-01T10:45:00.000-06:00

I hope everyone enjoyed their new year celebrations last night. I unfortunately wasn't able to go out because of a severe cramp in my neck that I'm still dealing with. I went to bed early last night and just wanted to wake up with the pain gone, alas that has yet to be the case. So I'm slowly just turning my neck left and right, up and down, just to see where I am right now. Well we have another

R.I.P. Sr. Mary Denis Curran

2011-12-29T12:03:00.002-06:00

About a week ago I read via a cousin's Facebook update that one of my High School Teachers had passed. Sr. Mary Denis, even though she was only 4 feet and MAYBE 10 or 11 inches had a stare that could see into your soul and have the hair standing up on the back of your neck. Oh and heaven forbid you didn't turn in an assignment on time, you might as well wait for the floor to open up at your feet

Happy Holidays

2011-12-11T21:03:00.002-06:00

Happy Holidays to all:) This has been an interesting year so far to date. Went to a wonderful Xmas party yesterday and it was off the chain. Thank you Cassandra as usual for being a great hostess. This year I've had my ups and downs. I've realized that I need to get back into school and finish up. I really need to dig in and get back into my weight loss journey. Going to talk back with my friend

Me - a work in progress

2011-06-30T21:15:00.002-05:00

Well today I officially closed out my first school year at my new job. Must say I'm very proud of myself but that is not all I have to be thankful for. This year has been a serious eye opener. I was able to rekindle a friendship with a best friend I hadn't spoken with over a year and half. Furthermore I had to REALLY re-evaluate a (questionable friendship/on/off relationship/somewhat acquaintance

Words I live by.

2011-01-28T04:36:00.003-06:00

I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when their right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust none but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together. Yet remember the key word in the last sentence is good. For if the situation is not, learn from it

What's happening in Jan. 2011

2011-01-11T13:17:00.001-06:00

I hope all is well with everyone this new year. I'm at home relaxing after being notified at 5:15am that due to the snow, my school district would be closed for the day. So as I alternate between walking around the house and looking outside I'm thinking about how interesting this year has started off so far. I've started a new job which I absolutely love. I've gotten back on my exercise regimen

My laptop is in hell!!!!!

2010-12-12T19:46:00.001-06:00

Mad as hell my laptop caught a virus earlier today, so its down for the count, Thankfully I was able to back up my important stuff (Itunes library, documents, photos, and anything else I could think of). What really f***ed up is that I get this the day after my COUSIN call stating he had a virus on his laptop and wanted know what he should do about it. So I give him the number to my boy Trenton

Dreams of Trust and Friendship

2010-10-15T07:06:00.001-05:00

This mornin I'm up at 4:45am AGAIN but I woke up from a very interesting dream. I don't know why I get up so early especially when I'm so exhausted from the previous day. I'm up right now watchin "Save the Last Dance" and listening to Joe Sample's "Invitation" on Pandora. I'm still workin at my temp job downtown, haven't been able to get to the gym in a while because of my work schedule, so of

Waiting for Superman

2010-10-13T04:47:00.004-05:00

This weekend a friend of mine asked if I wanted to see a documentary this weekend called WAITING FOR SUPERMAN. At first I didn't know what to make of the title until she informed me that it was about the dire situation our nation faces with the public educational school system. We hooked up at Plaza Frotnenac since that was the only theater in Saint Louis that was showing this movie. I must say

Last night the weather was wonderful with the full moon skipping over the rippling water of the lake, marshmallow clouds, and the Icarus winds. Now this morning I was awakened by the steady drops of heavy rain. This day is lookin up already. Enjoy your Friday;)

Well its only been a few months since the Wellston School District was permanently shut down. Heck it was still surreal to me until I turned in my keys. Since then I've been on my grind looking for a new job. I can't even say how many apps I've put in, yet nothing seems to appear. I've probably have dealt with more spam mail regarding job inquires than spam in general. At this time I also can't
