Manic Monday


So. Cinco de Drinko is over and although I woke up hangover free this has still been a MANIC MONDAY if i've ever experienced one. I had to increase the size of that font so you guys could grasp the full effect. Overslept. Missed Bus One. Bus Two was delayed due to a wheelchair boarding causing me to miss Trolley One and how ironic is it that Trolley Two was also delayed by a wheelchair boarding. I woke up late but I was still asleep through all of this. I purchased a Monster, collected my change and conveniently left the Monster in the store. You're kidding me, right? Nope. No kidding. My first reaction was to get a drink. I found myself craving a martini. Shot of Jack. SOMETHING strong to take the edge off. Yes. At 9am these thoughts were present. Don't judge me. 
See? You can't judge me. That picture is wrong but it's so freaking funny. Wait, where was I? Oh, yes. My Manic Monday. I had a great breakfast courtesy of my lovely place of employment, my work day was a breeze, I went back to the store on my lunch break and my Monster has carried me to this point. Date Night is approaching. That should make me smile. We're keeping it simple tonight; dinner and a movie. The movie of the evening is 'Long Distance Revolutionary' based on the life and revolutionary times of deathrow inmate, Mumia Abu Jamal. Interesting topic so expect a review from me tomorrow filled with my raw opinion, a couple quotes and of course, cheesy selfies of me and my #HIM.
Peace & Love.

numb. or not.

TheFreeDictionary.com defines 'numb' as: " emotionally unresponsive ."  I thought I was numb but I'm actually the complete opposite of that. I've felt every emotion imaginable in the past 24 hours. Denial, frustration, anger, confusion, pain. I've laughed, cried, screamed. I took a walk. I took a nap. I ignored some calls. I answered some texts. I think I'm still in some weird, warped form of denial. The loss of a loved one is insane. It's motions you go through and emotions you're absorbed in. And it never gets easier. In fact, I feel like as you get older and as more people begin to return home way too soon it's like, "oh no, not another funeral!" When I was younger I wasn't where I am religiously or mentally. I didn't fully understand the power of having your whole life ahead of you and making every moment count. I surely didn't understand that you can't question His timing. You rely on it daily so to que...

Bold, Brown, & Beautiful

"She's cute for a dark skinned girl."  "Stop acting light skinned." We've heard all these phrases. Some of us even say these phrases. But under the surface what do they mean to us? The other day I walked by a young girl with a cute puffball ponytail. She complimented me on my hair and I smiled, exchanging compliments with her. As I kept walking I started to wonder if she liked my hair because it was long and straight or if she really, at about 8 or 9, liked my teased mane. It may sound conceited but I really worry about our female youth. I automatically thought about the infamous Oprah baby doll episode. Then I thought about Chris Rock's 'Good Hair' documentary. One thought led to another and I wanted to hug every little brown girl I saw because the media pushes so much on them I just want to protect them. But then I thought about it and in this situation you sort of have to work from the top to the bottom because if we're the li...
