If I’m honest, I’m having the hardest time starting this entry. I’ve been trying to write it for a number of weeks with little progress. There’s so much to say, so many things swimming around in my head, and it’s almost like looking down into a pot of gumbo with a tablespoon… “what do I [...]

Ok, so judge me, I’ve never been a video game player, and really still am not one, but I’ve been playing a game on my iPhone for far too long, called MyTown2. I was marginally into the game when my friend joined in and we started competing against each other. Needless to say, I was [...]

You ever hit a light switch and the instant the lights illuminate the room there’s that dreaded flash telling you your light-bulb is now a dark-bulb? I hate that too. A couple of months ago this happened when I went into the kitchen; lucky for me it was a lighting fixture that had more than [...]

So tonight marked the premieres of two new shows over on the peacock network, Up All Night at 10pm and Free Agents at 10:30pm. I just got the chance to check out both shows – you know, so you don’t have to. And you’ll thank me. In common, both shows center around characters that work publicists, which… is [...]

Situations like this sometimes make me a little embarrassed to wear the badge of “God-fearing,” “Christian,” or any other religious moniker that is so easily used to preach hate and inequity. I normally wouldn’t rant about being angry over something, but sometimes… you have to say something. I’ve been watching and reading a lot of [...]

So let me start off with honesty, since it’s supposedly the best policy. I don’t like fantasy-based or supernatural-laced shows or movies. I may be going against the grain here, but after 30 minutes of The Lord of the Rings, I’d slipped into the best two and a half hour nap I’d had in all [...]

If you’re a huge TV fan, like… um, some people I know… August is an ugly month. You’ve had to say farewell to some shows that you may not have really cared about, from this still new thing we call “the summer season.” You see promos for new shows everywhere you turn, whether or not [...]

A few Fridays ago I was at a friend’s get-together at his home. We’d all come over to have drinks, hang out and just celebrate another week of surviving our paycheck printers, welcoming the two-day vacation, and enjoying the company of a few friendly and familiar faces. When I walked in the door, after putting [...]

Back in the day (and I do mean BACK) there was a hot song, called Give it Up Turn It Loose, by an outstanding female R&B group, En Vogue. The title really says it all, right? Mhmm. A couple months ago while riding down Peachtree St. a friend told me about her life’s recent developments, [...]

Lately, I’ve given more credence than ever before to what people see in me versus that which I see in myself. I’ve asked myself, and subsequently my friends and most anyone that would listen & respond, what value there is in what the world sees in you, that you may be challenged to see in [...]
