changing the mindset

Turning to watch the debate tonight on CNN, held in California, I wasn’t clear on my choice for presidency. In fact, I was slightly in favor of Clinton.. Obama brought it home for me tonight.

really?

Beanie Siegel from the ROC family has launched his own clothing line called State Property. The quality and subtle design elements have become very popular throughout the urban community. We are proud to add the line to our current stock. …wow really??
I was out shopping today in the “urban” section of the store.  Now, my style [...]

mountain of when

aim to be strong
fiddle with an arrow
the shot is too long
precision is not in my marrow
what’s wrong
with me contentedly singing my own song
but not heard the music
the writings’ on the wall
but i took the scenic route
and i can’t call
the number’s in the pocket of my jeans
through it all

It’s all about balance

There were some interesting comments made in reference to my post on Substitute Men, which was in response to Jasmyne’s piece on Perpetrating Lesbians.  I want to be clear in saying, I wasn’t speaking for a whole community of women when I wrote that.

Speaking of Perpetrating..

Seriously, they should have known then… I was much more interested in recounting the cuts and battle [...]

In the beginning…

Yeah, this is how it all started… You see that tight button across my mother’s stomach? That’s me in there… preparing for my grand debut. January 22, 197*. These two were a formidable pair. I was born and bred on the hustler mentality… the paper chase… the scheme.. the endless pursuit of money, power and respect… [...]

2008

What it is? What it do? What it BE?!? lol.
I decided I wouldn’t have any official resolutions for 2008 but it’s always funny to see what tag lines the ad people come up with for the new year. Here’s a few that came to mind while I was sippin Bailey’s at the turn of the [...]
