seventeen: highs & lows.
30 day challenge: daySEVENTEEN
Discuss your highs and lows of this past year.
This came right in time huh? The new year is about 6 hours away. Ample time to reflect don’t you think?
Let me tell you something. I’m tired of effin’ reflecting. The mirror is pretty dirty and I can’t get any of the stains out.
I won’t be deterred though. Sticking to this damn...

new year.
Thursday|THOUGHTS; I’m unsure of what 2011 will bring. I’m convinced it’ll be just as horrendous as the gag gifts 2010 gave me.
As I went about doing my errands for the day I had a chance to talk to one of my cousins. We shared our ideas of what the future would bring. While her thoughts were bright and determined, my hope had worn thin. The blanket of faith that used to keep me...

sixteen: mainstream.
30 day challenge: daySIXTEEN
Discuss your views on mainstream music.
I guess I’ll introduce a few equations that I’ve been brooding on for a little while.
if MUSIC = LIFE
then LIFE = MUSIC
thus BAD MUSIC = A MALNOURISHED LIFE
A MALNOURISHED LIFE = BAD MUSIC
therefore if MUSIC = YOUR LIFE & you listen to BAD music what does that say about the way you’re feeding your...

fourteen: memory.
30 day challenge: dayFOURTEEN
Discuss your earliest childhood memory.
I was 3 and I had been riding my tricycle in our apartment around the coffee table. You may be wondering, “Why were you riding a tricycle in doors?” but we lived in Brooklyn at the time and didn’t have much of a yard to play in. My daddy was reading a newspaper and had fallen asleep on the couch. As I rode...

30 day challenge: dayTHIRTEEN
What place would you like to move or visit?
I’ve always wanted to go to Africa, to see the kangaroos in Australia and experience the richness of China’s culture and beauty. I’ve thought of moving back to New York, or relocating to Atlanta, maybe even D.C. or Philly. At the end of the day, there’s one place that tops all of those places....

blown.
Being robbed is one of the worst feelings that I’ve ever experienced.
It’s like having your privacy raped with no vaseline.
It hurts.
That was my Christmas present this year.
First time it’s ever happened.
I’m too numb to cry…too shocked to react.
Why us? Why now?
This year has been hard enough as is.
Tonight my house stands vacant.
It’s...

30 day challenge: dayTEN
Discuss your first love and first kiss.
Ugh! I knew something like this was coming. I mean it’s inevitable—to talk about the past. Especially the little moments you try to cover up…The things you’d rather not discuss.
My first Kiss happened the day I turned 14. Sounds romantic and all but I wasn’t feeling it. I didn’t like it.
My...

friends.
Thursday|THOUGHTS; True friendship is immeasurable, irreplaceable & unbreakable point-blank—fuckin’ period.
I’ve been on winter break for about a week now. It seems like every other day another individual from my past is popping up, checking in or trying to make amends.
It’s weird.
But I feel like somehow it’s a sign.
Then again, perhaps I’m just...

epiphanies.
5 "Eureka!" moments I had during the week.
1: Chocolate is good because it's the same hue, richness & flavor of my people.
2: Jesus is not a Capricorn.
3: Chris Brown has a great Public Relations Rep.
4: I think we should all be celebrating Kwanzaa &/or Hanukkah.
5: I'm over my crush. Finally.
