As I sit here, unbraiding my hair from these cornrows, I am reflecting on how my Halloween night went…and how I was left quite unimpressed.
But more importantly, I am reflecting on the importance of envisioning a goal and then setting out all the steps to get it. Take for example my Beyonce costume. I have [...]

NO ONE DESERVES THIS

I mean for Chris Brown to ball up his fists and punch Rihanna in the head, in the face?! To me, that is past anger….that is plain rage and a complete lack of respect for that individual. You cannot punch someone in the face if you have any respect or love for them – you just cannot. And he is a fucking punk…any man who hits a woman…ANY MAN WHO HITS A WOMAN IS A FUCKING PUNK. But above all else, violence in a relationship, in the home — it never leads to anything positive. All violence does is create resentment, unexpressed anger, pent-up rage, and destructive ways of handling emotions. Violence on both sides is reprehensible but violence from a man to a woman?!?!
How small is my world?

I am just a really chill girl who loves the rawness of artistic expression, has preppy and materialistic tendencies with a New York swagger — keep doing me. I loves it!

Choice.
“We cannot see past the choices we do not understand.”
Choice.
Is it merely just an illusion or is it truly something of free will?
Choice.
I watched the entire Matrix trilogy last night and it is always interesting when I re-watch movies or re-read books and realize things that I did not realize before….
Choice.

Soulmate? Nope…not for me…

I do not believe in soulmates.
I truly do not….at least not anymore.
I believe that the concept of a soulmate, quite frankly, sets people up for disaster in two ways.
One – It leads people to believe that there is only individual out there with whom one is completely compatibale with, leading people to not really [...]
Freedom = Responsibility

Sounds scary, doesn’t it?!
The concept that I am only really free when I am completely responsible for all of my thoughts, words, and actions sounds a bit backwards, right? I mean, why would being responsible for anything equate to freedom when we usually envision freedom as being completely untethered?
Well…just bear with me a second as [...]

Men Ain’t Shit Syndrome = M.A.S.S.

I am convinced that we as women, at least in the United States of America, have a tragic syndrome. This syndrome is called Men Ain’t Shit Syndrome…..and it is ruining our ability to love. And hopefully we can do something about it.
Wait, is she trying to say that men really ain’t shit?! Is she trying [...]

This is officially my anthem song for my life right now — “Live Your Life” by T.I. ft. Rihanna
Live Your Life
Being thankful for the life that I got — it is all about owning the life I have right now, at this very moment. We confuse ourselves by wishing for something else, hating on someone [...]

Let me start off by saying — this is about us.
This campaign is not about Senator Barack Obama. This campaign is not about Senator John McCain. This campaign is not even about Senator Hillary Clinton, Senator Joe Biden, or even Governor Sarah Palin.
No, this campaign is, has always been, and always will be about US.
