Amtrak Failed Us: An Overnight Trip Gone Bad
I got a tale to tell about my why Amtrak sucks and how they failed us! I had to travel to DC this past weekend to speak at the Blogging While Brown Conference. What had happened was: Me and my homette Patrice (aka Afrobella) decided to travel to Washington DC from Chicago on Amtrak. Our [...]
Whose Aunty is This??
I was on MissJia.com when I saw this picture below. And I was forced to save it and make it my Twitter background. I think at least once an hour, someone tweets me talmbout “WHAT IS THAT?!?” I don’t even… I just… *facepalm* WHAT (not who) is this? Where do I start? I’ma make a [...]
Dear Re-Re Franklin, 2 days in a row?
I was first gonna post about something completely different but this took precedence so I had to. Thank to Claire Sulmers of The Fashion Bomb for bringing this to my attention. She wrote a post over at AOL Black Voices and I HAD to write Aretha Franklin a sternly-worded letter for her foolishness. Dear Re-Re Franklin, Hey [...]
I’m Wack on Wheels
I’m one of those folks who’s better on solid ground. I’m a GREAT walker. I can walk with the best of them. I can power walk, strut, skip… all’a that. Just don’t ask me to run or nothing. I’m allergic to that. It’s when you ask me to do stuff on foreign objects that the [...]
APimpNamedSlickFront. Whose Uncle Is This?
I introduce you to Allen E. Brown aka APimpNamedSlickFront aka The Pimp Who Murked Me. He is actually a pimp in New Jersey who was running a prostitution ring, and ended up being sentenced to 18 years in jail. I took ONE look at this picture and had roast tourette’s. Let’s make a list of ALL the things that are wrong with this picture. I’d probably save time if I listed everything that was right = NOT A DAMB THING!

Kindred: Tryna step my accessory game up since I’mo be rocking a TWA (teeny weeny afro) soon Me: Earrings is the game that matters the most with a TWA Kindred: oh yes I know. Earrings and eyeshadow Me: Eff eyeshadow Kindred: I don’t want anyone to be like “Oh sir, what a nice pendant that [...]
Fall Heard ‘Round the World
Okay so I’m not the most graceful of people. It’s part of the reason I’m not a dancer (that and my lack of talent. But semantics). There are countless F My Life tales from high school of when my feets failed me. Picture it, Chicago 2001… A young Luvvie was loitering in the school afterhours, [...]
Dating Sites FAIL
Luvvie’s note: Next up is Miss Jia aka Bambi (to me, anyway. She got these long wispy eyelashes. UGH! I can’t stand her for them!) Ok, green ain’t a good color on me. Jia’s one of my faves! Anywho, she’s the PERFECT person to give side-eyes to folks because she’s uber quick to roll her [...]
Dear Sammy Sosa, You Look Like A Vampire
I’m sure by now, you’ve seen a picture of the new and (not so) improved Sammy Sosa. It has more than earned this week’s sternly-worded letter. Dear Sammy Sosa, What in the name of all that is good, holy and sanctified are you doing? Who died and had you replicated as their phantom? You look [...]
Writing FAIL
As y’all know, my English professor alter egos are TypoCop and GrammarNator. They are the parts of me that side-eye folks that do their best to butcher the English language when trying to write formally. I know that here on AweLuv, I don’t write in the King’s English because, well I don’t want to, and [...]
I’m Lemony Snicket
My life these past couple of days has been a series of unfortunate events. This is why I am naming myself Lemony Snicket. It’s been such a mess that it’s been comical. I’m like a walking 1 stooge. So check it. Starring Luvvie First of all came yesterday morning. I got to work to find [...]
Chris Brown’s FAIL
Ok so I don’t usually blog on Thursdays, but I had to today because of the Chris Brown/Larry King interview. Not because it was interesting. In fact, it was quite the opposite. I could have spent that hour watching grass grow, or an English comedy. However, it was entertaining because of the roast factor of [...]
Dear GMail, Never Crash Again
So I was minding my own bitness at work yesterday when I refreshed my GMail inbox and saw that it was down. Life got real dark right then and there. This is why this week’s sternly-worded email is to GMail. For playing all these bald-headed games with me and my emotions. Dear GMail, Me and [...]
