I can’t believe I haven’t written here since August. It’s not even like I have an excuse, since I have internet at home again. I guess I’ve been so caught up in my schoolwork that I haven’t had much time for blogging. That’s right, school work. Since I last posted, I have:

Begun an accelerated masters [...]

Fire & Brimstone

According to my grandmother, I’m headed to Hell. The joke’s on you Grandma! I’ve already been to Hell. It’s in Grand Cayman. Anyway, I’m headed to Hell. All because going to church bores the snot out of me. I haven’t been to my “home” church since Mother’s Day. Every single time our pastor preaches, I [...]

Yahhh!

So, it’s probably not work-appropriate, but I really could care less. This is just about the only song that helps me get through my work day.

Old People=Mean People

So…let me get this straight. The older you get, the more likely you are to say whatever pops into your head with no regard?

My grandmother turned 80 this January. Since that point, she has agreed that my cousin is “stupid”, asked me if I am pregnant, shamed me for not going to church, called [...]

I guess I should post more often. But you know what? I really don’t have that much to say. No funny stories, no “i’m so mad” rants…I just live my normal life where funny things sometimes happen, but not every day.
Last night, the man and I went to a play/reading by the Negro Ensemble Company. [...]

Insomnia…

Remember back in 2001 or so when Rupee came out with the song “Insomnia”? And it was all fun and games, chipping down the road with drinks in hand…mine is nothing like that.
I’ve been having insomnia, or something closely related to it, for the past couple of nights. I start feeling sleepy around 9:30, 10:00. [...]

Allow me to reintroduce myself…

My name is BROKE.
And it is not a game. Why does the IRS feel the need to separate  me from the little bit of money that I have? I heard that if you made less than $54,000 annually, you could file for free. So I checked out the IRS website to make sure it was [...]

*I’ve never really “done” Lent. Never knew that much about it until La Salle, the good Catholic university. Never got the ashes on Ash Wendesday. I’ve only taken communion once in life. Anyway, there was a girl who got on my nerves a lot. I told her I was giving her up for Lent.
*I think [...]

I Voted.

And not because I was scared of P. Diddy, either. I believe that as an American citizen–as an African-American female American citizen–that I do have a right to vote. People fought for me to have this right, and I fully intend to use it. Don’t tell me about the electoral congress~I still got to have [...]

Power of positive thinking, my arse.
Yesterday was a bad day. Like that book you read when you were little about the kid having the no good, very bad, horrible day. that was me yesterday. I was that kid. I woke up late. I really just didn’t want to get out of bed. I couldn’t figure [...]
