I'm Finally Doing Music...

2009-01-30T11:22:00.004-05:00

Well at least working in it...for real, for realI put my classic screwface aside, and actually decided to take on an artist!Ahhhh....this is exciting.He's crazy talented and we have amazing plans in the works.Never mind the album cover...he's a D-Boy straight from the trapand while his aesthetic value may not quite align with the jaded Yankees of the music industry...the MUSIC is what MATTERS.So

A Means to An End

I sent this this morning [via BbM]::I've decided that you and I can no longer have dealings with each other. Seriously.This situation isn't going to benefit me in any way. I stand to gain nothing.Other than experiencing what it's like to be the side chick, jumopoff whatever.And that's an experience I can do without.And I don't want to be your faux friend either. Cause that's the same shit as a

It's the mother fucking 2009. I'm officially ACTUALLY graduating from college with a B.S. in Sociology. Like no, really -- I have 6 credits left to graduate.I have no ambition of actually attending graduation. But any reason to throw a party is a good reason in my book...so hells to the yeah there will be a party come Mid-May.I'm taking a year off to get my shit together to apply to a PhD program

It Could All Be So Simple

2008-12-18T21:53:00.001-05:00

Oh the myriads of issues that come with teaching an art class to 6-8 year olds. Trying to get the kids to sit still for 5 minutes is the task of a lifetime. That along with trying to remember the 60million variations of Trayon/Tayong/Tayan/TayTrewhatever has been an uphill battle. So the other day I set out what I thought would be a simple art activity. Cutting out hands. Simple, right?So I began

It Ov-ah Breathe In!

2008-12-11T14:08:00.002-05:00

Hands down the best feature on Facebook.Honesty BoxI actively reply to my anonymous commenters.Largely from the male population its some variation of "I'd hit it"From the female population it's all some Oprah Winfrey/Dr. Phil-esque power to my womanhood shit -- of the don't sell yourself short variety. Yes, my homegirls are the shiiiiiit!Here's my hands down FAVORITE entry yet.Mostly cause dude

Delirium

2008-12-10T20:10:00.002-05:00

My apologies.I'm a beautiful mess of disorganization at the moment. I'm running around below E...all fucked up in the game trying to maintain order.And I'm actually enjoying it. Its stress that I'm use to. The having to get everything done at the last minute stress. My best work derives from this stress and I know there's a shining light at the end of the tunnel. Enough with the cliche metaphors.

I was tagged in some note on Facbook.19 Random Facts about ***Rather than do another random ass note and tag people, who I know are largely uninterested in my life....I thought I would just post up here. Enjoy!1. I was born in Waynesboro, PA. <--that would be west bumblefuck Pennsylvania. We had a strawberry patch!2. I'm an Aries with a Gemini Rising with a Taurus Moon. That means I'm crazy with

Apparently I've been living under a rock for the past two months, because clearly NO ONE informed me of this. I'm disappointed. Trey Songz is HIGHLY underrated.Enjoy below...since most dudes I know were NOT fucking with the original....lol, bunch of guilty ass mofos!

Gravity

2008-11-22T13:26:00.004-05:00

So the other day I came home early, 6ish, to drop off some shit and run back out the door.I walk into my kitchen and I see this ---------------------->>>>>>Our cabinet, which has been hanging on the wall (and for what we presumed, stable) had just toppled over. Off the wall and entirely TOPPLED, on to the floor with a loud ass BANG BANG.My roommate is pissed, cleaning up spilled olive oil and

Boys Who Cry

2008-11-21T13:40:00.000-05:00

Supposedly, its said, that men have a harder/take longer to get over heartbreak than women. Well Mr. West, I guess you have provided this theory right. Granted the man has been through a WHOLE WHOLE lot over the past year, so I can forgive him for side stepping AGAJ to have some personal catharsis through 808s & Heartbreaks. I had my reservations about the album with the release of the first

I'm G.O.O.D.

2008-11-20T00:43:00.003-05:00

According to this song, I'm the muthafuckin' shit. Ne-Yo really wrote a song about my favorite saying..."It's cool...I got it"Or my prolific variation, "It's cool, I'm good". I OD on that shit and apparently Ne-Yo thought it would make a good song. And to top it off the Loso agrees. To bad we don't live our lives like the music. Shit sounds good....but a yeah. I've gotten a few "you always so

Emo-less

2008-11-13T20:50:00.005-05:00

You know when you go thru some type of heart break/getting your feelings hurt, you turn to your iTunes, and shuffle through a variation of musical catharsis while throwing your own personal pity party. Or at least that was my former M.O. Throw on some Erykah or Lauryn, sappy boho chick to revive my swag. But never, ever could I plausibly get down with Beyonce. With this new album, I AM...SASHA

Envisioning the Future in a Blade of Grass

2008-11-07T19:41:00.002-05:00

One of my favorite books is Alice Walker's Temple of My Familiar. It rates high on my list because of a chapter called The Gospel According to Shug Avery.Yeah, Shug Avery, from the Color Purple...sweating like a whore in church.Temple of My Familiar is a psuedo part two to the Color Purple, Walker pretty much re-writes the history of mankind into the history of womankind.She really does not like

108 Afflictions

2008-11-06T11:23:00.008-05:00

The beginning of the summer I was in the gym doing way more complaining than sweating...and I said aloud to my homie Will, "all I need to do is to like some dude, just like him a little, and then have him do some out of pocket shit with no rhyme or reason, and *poof* I'll drop 15lbs pronto, fuck a gym membership". I even wrote that shit out in an illicit/incoherent blog about a wackass date I

Night Breaks to a New Dawn

*Cue Young Jeezy*Last night was wilde on so many levels.Obama's landslide victory was a sheer highlight to the '08.My 23 year is definitely turning into the year that legends are made (holla at the 23rd Psalm!).I'm going to be repping my faux Delaware pride for the next few days! We have the first African American and Delawarean in office! Woohoo bitches! Plus a filibuster proof Senate, o boy o

Where to began.Its been a long fucking week.Mad wilde shit has been a happening and I had much to blog about. But then that all was hyphened with a text from the good home Shyvonne, that had me sitting in a bar in Brooklyn trying to reconcile with myself.It still doesn't make any sense.You just keep asking why. And then you're trying to figure out why this touched you so deeply.Was it because it

It's That Time of Year

2008-10-27T21:05:00.004-04:00

I'm not a fan of this time of year. Borderline hate it...but being emo is not cute. Holiday season has never been a high time of year for me. I keep trying to change that fact, but I always seem to fail miserably at it and I'm then left remembering again, why this time of year just leaves me in some sort of continual rut. It falls somewhere along the line of my deep deep fear of loneliness (I
