Fly Like An Eagle
So it was my birthday last week, right? And being new in town I thought it would be a quiet one. If you have a man or something close to it, they probably at least buy you dinner on your birthday and maybe even an old school gold name plate chain as a gift. Probably…
I am Lois Lane
Recently I came across a quote by Assata Shakur, a Black Panther who was convicted in the murder of a New Jersey state trooper back in the day. She is the aunt of the late rapper and my would-have-been baby daddy, Tupac Shakur. May he rest in peace. Did I ever tell the story of me…
Home Improvement
Note: I am design challenged when it comes to this blog. Be prepared for different looks to cycle through, perhaps some of them ratchet, until I figure it out. I’m on a journey. Any tips on how to make these Blogger templates look good, lemme know! Now back to our regularly scheduled program… Like I…
A Very Scientific Study
SHAMELESS PLUG: Please follow me on Twitter. I only have 14 followers and I only know who like three of them are. I’m starting to get depressed about this. @blackswan305. thx! xoWhen I moved back to Miami from New York in July, I changed the zip code on my OKCupid profile from 10019 to 33137. I promptly…
A Waste of Fine
Maybe you know, or maybe you don’t know…the term “yellow wasted”. It is a quote specifically from Daughters of the Dust (a film by Julie Dash, 1991), spoken by the character Viola Peazant in reference to a light skinned woman who didn’t quite look European. Meaning, a waste of light skin on black features. This…
Ish that pisses me off
Betcha thought that when I moved to Miami it would be all sunshine and roses, huh? Well, it’s too damn hot in Florida for roses. Disclaimer: I am going on day 30something without my TV and my ice maker doesn’t work. Anyone who knows me well understands this is a lethal combination. I’m on the warpath and…
May You Live In Interesting Times
Well now. I did promise to resurrect this blog and I am, and I promise to write more often (ok I will try). Today marks the countdown of 11 days left in NYC. I am moving back to the Sunshine State, where I spent many formative years of my life. But for the record, Miami…
Ode to Wonder Woman
When I was a little girl I used to love love love love me some Wonder Woman. You can ask anyone who knew me then, especially my mother since this was before VCRs, that missing that show on Friday night was not an option. I could be a bit of a toddler tyrant sometimes. But seriously…
Red Card
Not to be mean or anything, because I’m not really mean, really I Am. Not. Mean. But some things are a red card offense. If you don’t know soccer aka football everywhere else because you play with your FEET and not your HANDS…it’s when a player gets ejected from a game for being a total…
Excessively Clean and Sparkly
So last night as I mentioned Wednesday, was one of those evenings chock full o nuts. I actually ended up with five things on my calendar including a rooftop thingy in Brooklyn that would have been a serious rager, but I’m trying to slow down and keep it clean these days. I made it to…
