Not long ago, America found out that one of our favorite comedians and actors allegedly took his own life. Losing Robin Williams today confirmed something I have said for years..we never know the masks that people wear. When people commit suicide, we begin trying to find out answers. We are hurt..shocked..angry..confused. We juggle with emotion because we "don't understand". We try dissecting their lives. We look to those closest. We begin assuming. We go nuts! "Why would Robin Williams kill himself?" We don't know. It's easy to begin judging him because suicide is "taking the easy way out." Have you ever been through a real battle? Have you ever struggled with issues heavier than what to wear Friday night? Do you know what it's like to think death is better than life? No? Yes? Doesn't matter. Don't judge. People these days are truly hurting. We try so hard to keep our problems hidden, which can only complicate matters. Battling...

I didn't have a creative way to title this blawg so I just chucked something up thurr. But yes. I just felt like clearing my mind of whimsy about a topic dwelling in my sanctum. Why do people think their opinions HAVE to be interjected? Why are your thoughts so dastardly important that you can't hold your respective mule? Because..somewhere along the way, people lost the ability to practice decorum online. Also, I blames the new era of the interwebs. We didn't have these issues in the Geocities/Blackplanet daze. Speaking fo myself, as I am my best spokesperson, I think before I reply. I has a little list o' things I use to determine if my opinion is necessary. You want to know them. You want to know the list because you like me. Yep. 1. Was my opinion actually asked for? Sometimes, people will ask questions. Like, they'll directly seek a two cent donation because they want or need them. If not, I will operate under the default setting of "they didn't as...

I really need to do better with my blog, yo. Let me cue my music. I think this is going to be one of those "clearing my mind of whimsy" blogs. Non sequitur than a mug. Don't have high hopes that I will make sense.  This is what happens when I go too long betwixt purging my brain thingy. 1.   We know Lil Kim has inspired some people:  I think when one does answer raps or posts such as "Identity Theft", it makes one seem slick petty.  I know she knows that she has been the source of several female rappers' styles.  Most notably, Ms. Onika has drawn some inspiration from her.  Maybe it's just me, but if I see people out there *in Eddie Kang, Jr voice* "tryna be me", I wouldn't be upset.  I know you emulating me.  YOU know you emulating me.  WE ALL KNOW you emulating me.  I will just sip my tea with a smile and say "awww...look at her trying to get like mama!" 2.   Ebola:   Why you bring that ass to the mainland, so...

I'm just going to dance...because the storm is over! GOOD GOD!
