Award Show Pleasant Surprises: Take Two
Continued from Take One…
Disclaimer: If you don’t want the outcomes of the BET Hip Hop Awards 2008 to be ruined, exit now and return after October 23rd (when the show airs).
1. NOT SURPRISINGLY: A good portion of anticipated attendees, presenters and performers didn’t show up.
SURPRISINGLY: Almost all of the ones that mattered actually did [...]
Award Show Pleasant Surprises: Take One
My dear friend Gideon made his grand entrance (said with a slightly French meets Southern Georgia accent) into the “A” this weekend for the third year straight, taking on the production of the BET Hip Hop Awards. Every year, he has attempted to get yours truly tickets to the taping, with little success. [...]
Jazmine Sullivan: Fearless
Jazmine Sullivan’s debut album, Fearless, is on my All Time FAVORITE Albums list. I have not a lick of musical talent, so one can take my word with a grain of salt, and be well within their right… however, it’s quite rare that an album makes it to this list. After all, it [...]
78 Miles Per Hour
Emotionally tipsy I am…
The apple martini I had with dinner probably helped this current state of quasi “delusion meets spacey.” On my drive home from my mothers second birthday dinner, I found that I was asking myself some crazy questions — questions that I normally wouldn’t admit to, but I’m too tired to care right [...]

i’m sorry.
Dear Me…
I am so incredibly sorry for what I did. I haven’t been able to get the other night off my mind. After not sleeping very well the night it happened, I woke up feeling horrible. I was literally sick at the thought of what I had done. For whatever reason, I lost my mind, [...]
My Favorite Things
What, so Oprah is the only one that can have favorite things? I have favorite things too. They change frequently, but I still have them. You won’t be getting them from me under your seat or anything, but I still have them. So today, at 11:30PM, I have ten favorite things … the list will [...]
Mr. & Mrs. Barnes
Today is payday, so I, along with the rest of the bi-monthly crew in East Atlanta took our lunch break at Wachovia. The wait to fulfill my banking needs was long, but not tireless. I was completely engulfed by Mr. and Mrs. Barnes.
Likely approaching their centennial birthday, Mr. and Mrs. Barnes entered the [...]
