No, that headline is not a typo Ok, so there are times I do my BEST not to go all the way to the pits of Dereon Hades, but last night, I failed. Just so y’all know, Twitter is the most ridiculous place to be if you’re trying to live a good life of minimal [...]

Sincerely, Everyone *drops mic**WALL SLIDES* —- Edit: Another icon has passed on the 25th. RIP to Ted Kennedy. His passing signals the end of another legacy.

So I was thinking about it. If Zane and Sister Souljah have become millionaires off writing poorly written, trashy novels, why am I still a tens of thousandaire? Especially when I can string together coherent sentences with correct grammar, syntax and sentence structure? Shoot. Well I have a scheme plan. I will write my OWN [...]
I’ve been reading since I was 3. My mom told me that I used to read newspapers for fun *nerd-dom alert*. I was the kid that enjoyed reading more than playing outside (hence one of the reasons I can’t ride a bike. Sharrap. Don’t judge me). I enjoy reading but I don’t do it as [...]

See, FREE Rules Everything Around Me (F.R.E.A.M.), and apparently everyone else too. This is an exchange that happened on Facebook, under the note version of my Laptop Giveaway post, between Savvy & Shida (who both sent in their responses via email). They made me cackle HARD at work. Savvy F. Baybeh: “I entered. **does the [...]

So last night was the Season 4 premier of America’s Best Dance Crew and I tuned in to watch because nothing else was on and Sundays on TV suck majorly. It just never ceases to amaze me as to how random the judging panel on that show is. I really wonder how producers though of [...]
