I recieved my college degree!!!
It’s so…so…so…beautiful! I can’t wait till one day I can afford one of thos $125 frames from my schools bookstore. Until now it shall rest in the nice little “degree holder” that they give you as you cross the stage.
I can’t wait to add a “brother or sister” to this current [...]

Dreamgirls

I’m not sure why I am the last person on the face of this earth to see this movie but I have to say that “Dreamgirls” is my favorite movie of all time. No, seriously. It has pushed “Mary Poppins” and “Coming to America” out of their two top spots and it sits [...]

Jesus Camp

This movie has to be the most disturbing one I’ve seen in a long while. Don’t get me wrong it’s a great look into the lives and world of “evangelical” Christians. But it’s very disturbing to watch these young children being bamboozled and taken advantage of. Children can be of God and [...]

Suing MySpace

I read today in the Houston Chronicle about MySpace being sued by some teens and their parents. You can find those reports here, here, and here. Or just Google MySpace and you’ll find countless other sources.
As a daily user of the highly popular social networking site, I have to defend MySpace and their tactics [...]

Political Correctness

My ultimate most hated word spawned in the PC movement has to be the term “African-American”. It’s the most misleading, pointless and worst assuming word there is out there. I shudder at the thought of those who use this word incorrectly. I myself am a Black American. Not beef about it.
I frequent message boards [...]

Real Housewives

 
oooooo…Season two premired last night. I don’t have cable so I had to watch the entire first season via iTunes purchases. Get this, episode one of season two is already on iTunes…for FREE!
You won’t see it on the iTunes homepage. I was going to purchase it, put the button said Free. So hey!

Apple’s iPhone [Today], I put in job apps

Yes I know Apple’s iPhone was reveled today.  But while all you techie’s were enjoying the Keynote for Macworld 2007, I was putting in job applications.  I picked up a few subsitution forms, that I will fill out in a few minutes and return tomorrow. Also I finally sent of my late but much needed [...]

Recess, like we never needed it before.

Reasons schools still need recess. Schools that are eliminating recess are hurting our children.
I believe that recess is an intricate part of a child’s social and developmental life at school. Recess is where I learned cultural games, the latest teacher gossip [though this might not be the best example], how to jump rope, [...]

Nip/Tuck

 
Recently I purchased seasons 1-3 of the popular show “Nip/Tuck”. I personally don’t have cable, so I’ve only been able to watch a few episodes online via YouTube and other sources. I found “Nip/Tuck” to be one of the best drama’s on television. So two weeks ago when the entire seasons were [...]

The Congressman and the Koran

Maybe it’s just me but I don’t understand all the hype surrounding Congressman Keith Ellison and him taken the oath of office over the Koran. Did I miss something in the daily memo that says the Bible is the only religious text that we observe as righteous in the United States? And [...]
