Today’s Good News fulfills an itch I’ve had for about five months now. I’ve fought off the urge to get married and build a family in favor of life stabilization and personal development. The next best thing to a girlfriend is a puppy, “they are always happy to see you!” (I joke, I joke, I kid,ContinueContinue reading “The Good News: The Dog Matchmaker”

The “Up”s and Downs of Relationships
A few weeks ago I was watching Up, and I must admit that I was late to the party. The movie itself was charming and went from ordinary to strange very quickly. The entire first ten minutes were cinematic genius and for five of them, not a single word was uttered. I was in aweContinueContinue reading “The “Up”s and Downs of Relationships”
Comics for my Daughter
After two letters to my daughter and one towards black women, I really spent a lot of time thinking about what young women go through in our world. How can I prepare my daughter or at least make her feel as powerful as I believe she can be? Who do girls look up to andContinueContinue reading “Comics for my Daughter”
Day of Rest
I’m taking today off but I wanted to share what my plan is for the next week. I’m trying out something new while using the weekly posts as a template. Next week will have a theme of relationships. Not just male-female relationships but relationships with anything and everything. You will see starting tomorrow. Thanks againContinueContinue reading “Day of Rest”
My Favorite Soul Albums of 2016
I took my three months into 2016 but I finally am finishing this series. I have so much more music to talk about from this year already. Like the last few times, this is my personal favorite soul albums of 2016, not necessarily the best. This one is specifically not in order, they all roughlyContinueContinue reading “My Favorite Soul Albums of 2016”
If I Knew Then… Pt. 2 (Growing Up)
Growing up is somewhat blindsiding. You expect things to be one way and then the sheer weight of the world starts to press back harder than you expected. There are so many things that I wish I was taught while growing up instead of learning things the hard way. Last week’s post focused finances and thingsContinueContinue reading “If I Knew Then… Pt. 2 (Growing Up)”
Letter to Black Women
I’ve written a couple of letters now to different people including my possible future daughter but this letter is for all of the amazing women that have raised, protected, and loved me. This one is for you. Dear Black Woman, Thank you. I could not even begin how to thank you for your strength and guidanceContinueContinue reading “Letter to Black Women”
The Good News: Chance the Rapper Donates $1M to CPS
As anyone that has been following me over the recent years has seen me talk about Chance the Rapper and the new positivity he has been bringing to rap with The Social Experiment and Coloring Book. I can honestly say that my favorite rappers are “Christian Rappers”, not just by content, but actions. Chance made an announcement toContinueContinue reading “The Good News: Chance the Rapper Donates $1M to CPS”
Hot Take: Nintendo Switch & The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
The internet is filled with hot takes on music, movies, television, and almost everything under the sun. I pre-ordered my Nintendo Switch with the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild back in January from Target and it arrived promptly Friday Morning. These are my thoughts four days in the system and what this mean forContinueContinue reading “Hot Take: Nintendo Switch & The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild”
Pomodoro Technique: The Tomato that Changed it all.
Productivity always has been an illusive mistress. I’ve been working on organization and time management skills extensively for the past five years with only occasional breakthroughs. After my return to school in 2011, I realized that if I didn’t work on it now, I would be doomed to late night cram sessions and papers forContinueContinue reading “Pomodoro Technique: The Tomato that Changed it all.”
