So last night, I went to Rihanna‘s concert at the United Center with my girl Patrice (aka Afrobella). We got hooked up with some VIP tickets so we got dressed up, funky fresh, dressed to impress, ready to party. The United Center was hella packed with all types of folks. White folks, Black folks, Young [...]

As you all know, we’re in the midst of SnowtoriousBIG, the goon ass blizzard that is coming through Chicago and the Midwest. Skinny people of Chicago! If you’re going outside today, please wear a heavy backpack so you don’t get blown away by the wind. Kthx! Don’t get Dorothy’ed from the Wizard of Oz, my [...]

So by now, you already heard that Rio won the 2016 Olympics. My poor city, Chicago was the first one eliminated. The Olympic Committee went: “I’m happy for you, Chicago & I’mo let you finish, but Rio had the BEST Olympic bid of ALL TIME! Oh, and 2016 DEEZ!!! Giggity, giggity!” *pelvic thrust* So now, [...]

So this is an emergency post, which usually comes when I need to go off about something that just happened. I’m STILL heated. Seriously, Chicago Cab Drivers are officially the bane of my existence. One of my uncles is a cab driver, and I respect him SO MUCH. So he is an exception to this [...]

Y’all already know this winter has been on some Kentucky Freeze-A-b*tch type stuff. It’s been horrendous. I’ve quit Chicago a plethora of times, telling it to pack its sh*t and GO and I meant it. It actually had the nerve to be -11 for a couple of days. What in the not-so-hot pits of Dereon [...]

And no, I’m not referring to the most overrated piece of urban literature (I even use “literature” loosely) known to man. It’s -26 degrees (feels like it anyway) right now in the Chi.

Seriously, I was going to write an entry today but I stepped outside, and I believe my brain fluid froze. Chicago ain’t SH*T for this weather. How cold is it, you ask? According to weather.com, It is currently 8 degrees, but the wind chill makes it feel like 11 degrees below zero. Yes, ELEVEN DEGREES [...]

I just can’t cope. I’m not sure why it hits me hard every year like its the first time, but I hate cold weather/winter like crackheads love gingivitis!!! I mean really. This ish is ridiculous. Today is like 20 degrees below obscene in Chicago (ok, its 17 degrees, but you get my point). I walked [...]

I was on YBF.com a couple of days ago, and she put a list up of ways for Black folks to celebrate if Obama wins to keep folks from getting nervous, at least for the first few days. I already broke ALL them rules and it has only been an hour and a half. 1. [...]

“Rosa Parks sat, so Martin could walk. Martin walked, so Obama could run. Obama is running so we can fly!” At 10pm on November 4th, 2008, history was made when Barack Obama became the first ever African American President Elect of the United States. Words cannot express how I feel right now. Joy isn’t strong [...]
