Monday, Dre Day, Wednesday, Lala Day

“Used to be my homie, used to be my ace.  Now I wanna smack the taste out your mouth.” -Dr. Dre “Dre Day” I felt an overwhelming sense of relief after smacking my co-worker.  I was impressed with myself because I caught her with my left hand and it was almost as effective as my … Continue reading

Maybe…

He was everything. Not literally, but he was pretty dope.  Good looking.  Sense of style.  Tattoos.  All of his teeth perfectly aligned.  I noticed him when he first walked in the venue.  The conversation I was having with my girls was laced with furtive glances at him.  Eventually, I approached him and a dialogue ensued as I inquired … Continue reading

Radar: Big Soon “Honor Roll”

I had to do a quick post about Soon’s latest video for the track “Honor Roll” from The Reformation.  The Reformation is Soon’s first solo effort and well worth the listen.  Tracks like “Last Hope” and “The Warning” have generated buzz as fan favorites, however “Honor Roll” is my personal favorite.  As the closing track, it  hits … Continue reading

Euphoric Travels: Philly

    One of the great things about living in New Jersey is the fact that there are about seven states all within driving distance ( four hours and under), so I didn’t hesitate to purchase a deal from Living Social in Philadelphia, PA.  BBQ, Bourbon Tasting and Brews was hosted by  Deke’s BBQ, a garage converted into … Continue reading

Go DJ!: Amanda Diva at Apt. 78

Last night I had a blast.  What was supposed to be a night of watching “The Walking Dead” and removing shellac polish from my nails, turned into an evening of great drinks, food and dancing.  My friend and I headed uptown to Washington Heights to check out Apt. 78.  The lounge is located on Broadway between 190th … Continue reading

J. Cole- Lost Ones

Quite possibly my favorite song on Cole World: The Sideline Story, the video for “Lost Ones” did not disappoint.  Though the video was shot three years ago, it visually expresses the story of “Lost Ones” just as I imagined…with a few changes. – The apartment would be more basic.  I’d probably even have on of … Continue reading

These Three Words

These three words, sweet and simple.  These three words, short and kind.  These three words, always kindles an aching heart to smile.   “Good morning…have a great day and know that you are loved!” A text message from my Daddy instantly put a smile on my face this morning.  Yes, I know that my Daddy (as … Continue reading

Just The Two Of Us

So if the world attacks, and you slide off track. Remember one fact, I got your back. I love my nephew. Words can’t even express how much this little dude means to me.  I love him so much, I can’t even fathom what it will be like to have my own children.  The thought of … Continue reading

If I Could…

If I could , I’d protect you from the sadness in your eyes… I remember reading my friend Malorie’s blog a few months ago and pointing at the computer screen because I could relate to every sentiment she expressed.  Malorie wrote about how she has always been in tune with her emotions, and recognized this even as … Continue reading

The Foolishness: Damn Bitch My Feet Hurt

See my shoes seem to be leaning to the third, because I’m bow-legged and parrot toed… For those of you who truly know me, you know that I love to laugh and that I find great pleasure in the most ignorant things that life has to offer.  Luckily, I’m surrounded be people who understand my … Continue reading
