Communication Breakdown

I talk a lot.  I write a lot.  But I think I messed up what could have been a cool relationship by not talking.  Although I care not to share my reasons for not speaking on this post, the recipient is quite aware.
For some reason, though, I don’t think “they” got it. I think I [...]

Issue #2: I Just Want to Curse

Warning: If profanity offends you, leave NOW!
For those of you visiting my blog for the first time, using profanity in my writings is not my norm.  However, for my breakthrough, I really need to do this to make myself feel better. I have been internalizing a lot of foolishness and I really need to let [...]

Issue #1: You’re So Disciplined

How is this is a problem? Being disciplined is stressful.  Now, this is one box I am NOT trying to break out of. I’m trying to master it in all aspects of my life.   To do this is necessary and constraining. However, this is a box that will eventually set me free.
Perfect example, right now [...]

I Know What’s Wrong With Me

After having a discussion with my Improv instructor, I finally have an answer to what’s been ailing me for the past few months. I am trying to break out of the box that I have been placed in all my life.
So, even though I am damned near old as Methuselah, I am holding tight to [...]

Skating or Sex??

Someone asked me if I would choose skating or sex? What the hell kind of question is that?

The wheels will be there after the romance is over.
And, being in my birthing years, having sex can take me off of my wheels and mess up years of practice and learning.
WHEELS! WHEELS! WHEELS!
Note: I couldn’t find a [...]

I GOT ANOTHER IDEA!

Ok, the ideas just keep rolling in.  I’m going to need a scroll to keep up with everything. Although I cannot do it right now as I need to continue to focus on my writing business and two blogs, I am certain that things will fall into place as they have done so up this [...]

I Am in A Medium State of Frustration

I want to write something so badly on one of my blogs, but I don’t know how my readers will react to it.  It’s not bad, but it’s not good.  It’s merely an observation, but  I know something will be said.
Also, adding to my frustration is the fact that I actually care about what somebody [...]

I’m Always Pulling My Friends Into My Mess

Which isn’t a bad thing.  The bad thing is – I can’t pay them right now.
My friend, Demond, is the greatest.  I tell him my technology issues and he helps me figure them out.   I told him about a service I’m going to provide through The Write Design Company, and he just started sharing tips [...]

I’ve Got to Start Thinking Globally

With my writings that is.  I’m finding that I think locally because Shorty is a South Side Resource.  However, my thoughts on my findings are universal.  In fact, it would be better if other people knew, that way, it would take some of the pressure off of me.  It’s not that what I’m doing [...]

Ida B. Wells is Officially My Hero

While visiting the Freedom’s Sisters Exhibit at DuSable Museum, I had the opportunity to get up close and personal with 20  courageous and dedicated women in African American History.  While it was the most blessed experience, I would have to say that learning about Ida B. Wells had the most profound impact on me.

She had [...]
