[Easy Living.]
Sometime last month a couple friends and I attended an event in the National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden entitled “Jazz in the Garden”. This was something cool and free to do in the city, and it featured a wide range of jazz artist.
It was full of good friends, good times, and good wine.
This day had to be the definition of a lavish lifestyle. Just being able to sit...

[No remorse.]
Sunday, June 26th, 2011.
I got to work a little early so I decided to park on a residential street and talk to my Mom for a few minutes. During our conversation, all I could think about was how much fun I was going to have that night. I was planning on leaving work at 7, getting to my friend’s place by 7:30, and being intoxicated by 8, just in time to watch the B.E.T Awards. This is...

“You’re not afraid about what could happen? Maybe you should take someone with you.” A friend said this to me a few days ago in regards to me driving from Detroit to DC alone. But me being me, I really didn’t think about what could go wrong. This isn’t because I’m naïve, but because I know God will be there with me.
I’m not trying to sound cliché or corny, but when I was asked this question I...
[Overcome?]
Two years ago I would have never thought to compete in a pageant, let alone win two of them. Not many people know this but I have a speech impediment that I have to deal with everyday. Crazy right? How can someone as talkative as I am have a problem with talking? This is something that I ask myself everyday. I have been stuttering ever since I began to talk, and this really had an effect on me...
[Respect is due.]
Tonight really proved that I dislike the mentality that most Howard students have. As I was leaving the Mr & Miss Howard University Pageant, I overheard a conversation.
Person 1: I really thought “Girl A” was gonna win.
Person 2: Me toooo. Like really who is “Girl B”?
Person 1: Right. Is “Girl B” even in anything?
This utterly pissed me off, and...

Roots.
Blank. Empty. Incomplete. I feel all of these when I look at my blog. Something inside of me is going off saying “Get back! Hurry. Fast.” I feel that the initial image of what I saw this blog becoming, has drifted away. I initially started with post that i had a connection with, post that described how I felt, post that were a part of me. And some where down the line I lost it all. I...

[Cheers to the freakin New Year.]
Welp, 2010 is gone =[, time to move on and grow up =]. So, me and a couple of my friends from Howard decided to “grow up” and go to the casino in Windsor, Canada because the LEGAL drinking age is 19!
The alcohol definitely started the night off right. The casino was definitely poppin! It was a concert going on, a disco themed party, and of course gambling.
The casino...

[A few of my favorite things.]
Needless to say, 2010 was a good year for me. I couldn’t be at a better spot in my life than I am now. Sometimes i have these little revelations (i tell my friends this all the time), but I feel like I can do anything with my life right now. I feel like the world is on the tip of my fingers and all i have to do is grasp each opportunity. I did have a couple of...

Christmas.
Has really changed for me. I remember the days when I could hardly sleep, anticipating unwrapping my gifts. i would try to sneak a peek every chance i could. I always made it a priority to give my parents a Christmas List that was two pages long, and let me not get something i really wanted, I would GO CRAZY!
But now, I think i see the real meaning. FAMILY.
