You know how some people say that they just can't put their thoughts into words? Can't quite put their finger on it? Feeling speechless? This is what's goings on in this blog. Just a few days ago, I had something to happen to me that I never expected. I can't get into it because it's still a fresh wound, but there was a common thread in this ordeal. Chris. I had the backup of good damn friends, aka-The Wolfpack, and I am SO thankful for that. But when the Wolfpack went home, Chris was still there with me. Last night, I got yet another realization about Chris, and that was that I love him in a way I can't describe. Being in love with him and loving him a lot is the biggest understatement in the world. I mean, how can you love someone so damn much that you can't even sleep right when they're not there? You think about them so much, and you count down the hours until you're off of work and he's done playing Madden! I love him so much that slo...

Today's rambunction (made that word up) is brought to you today by the letter D and the number 62. So, today's episode got some weddings in it, and a couple of babies. It's some more stuff in here, but if I tell you all of it now, you ain't gon' keep reading. HEEEEERE we go: This here is Emmy Rossum . I don't think many fokes know who the hell she is, but I remember her from "Phantom of the Opera" with that hot bowl of sex that is Gerard Butler. To about 15 more people around the world, she was Bulma in the "Dragonball: Evolution" movie. Well, fokes found out this 23 year old chick was married...when her husband filed for divorce. She's now dating the dreadhead dude from Counting Crows...who's like 45. (Right McNasty) Here are a few pics from the Khloe Kardashian/Lamar Odom Make Like Wedding ... Yeah, it's a Make Like Wedding for the reality show. See, they're not really married-married per se. They're more like hitched w...

Good day good sirs and madams, This is a short rant/note to get some mess off my mammaries. I have to go ahead and put this out there. I know that some cats will try to see between the lines and "analyze" who I could be referring to. The thing is, a grown person will only focus on governing themselves accordingly...which means you might not qualify if you are trying to see who I'm "busting out". See how this goes? Good. Aight, as I was ranting...it doesn't take much to qualify as being a grown man or woman. However, it is a little deeper than being 18 with an MLGW bill in your name. It entails a little more responsibility, and it isn't easy. 1. First of all, as a grown person, your decisions will not always be popular with the general public. I had that as a status update some time ago, but I need to elaborate. You may do what is best for you and your situation, but it is guaranteed that in the process, someone will get pissed. It is a GUARANTE...

I feels this here. Thanks Jode Jo! If you're not married yet, share this with a friend. If you are married, share it with your spouse or other married couples and reflect on it. An African proverb states, "Before you get married, keep both eyes open, and after you marry, close one eye." Before you get involved and make a commitment to someone, don't let lust, desperation, immaturity, ignorance, pressure from others or a low self-esteem make you blind to warning signs. Keep your eyes open, and don't fool yourself that you can change someone or that what you see as faults are not really important. Once you decide to commit to someone, over time their flaws, vulnerabilities, pet peeves, and differences will become more obvious. If you love your mate and want the relationship to grow and evolve, you've got to learn to close one eye and not let every little thing bother you. You and your mate have many different expectations, emotional needs, values, dreams, weakne...

I would like to begin my outpouring of thoughts by saying that I am bored. If the things I say are odd, irregular and outright...well, odd and irregular, then fine. *Ted Kennedy is dead. I had no part of this. He was a cool guy, so I hope enjoys his time in Soul Heaven at the Johnnie Taylor concert. I heard Marvin Gaye was going to sing the Star Spangled Banner to open it up. *I don't like shoes. I'm not even wearing them right now. I think they are overated and frankly I am afraid of them. They are expensive and contrary to what I thought, they are not waterproof. *Certain people's voices annoy me. I'll hear them talking and I make that face like when you smell burnt popcorn or burnt greens. I can't tell them to shut the hell up, so I just tune to WTAM Brain Radio and sing Bootsy Collins songs until they stop talking. After which, I reply "this is true". *My phone is held together by duct tape. I should consider burning it, but I got some text ...

Here's the letter I wrote: To Whom It May Concern: I am a tenant at 6111 at Ridgeway Crossing in Memphis, TN. I find that I should share with you the issues I am dealing with at my home. I have been a resident since February of this year, and in this short time, I have had my home broken into under mysterious circumstances, insect problems and have been without air conditioning twice since then. I wrote to management once before about the break in and the slow, lethargic way that my concerns were handled. After a little cat and mouse (not the fault of Ms. Moran of the Regional Office), I was able to share my problems. However, I find that I am dealing with yet another major problem…I have been without air conditioning since July 26, 2009. I made the service requests through the emergency operator on Monday, July 27th around 11am (because I got no answer in the front office). I called back shortly after and spoke to one of the ladies in the office. I was told someone would be out ...

I've been putting these bad boys in statuses all day, so I thought that maybe I'd share a few more in a note. (Thanks Maria!) Feel free to add a few! #817-Seeing a hairstyle in a book and getting an idea is fine...but be mindful that a Rihanna haircut on an Esther Rolle head ain't right. #71-If you can sing, then sing on. But do not say you're going to be "The Next Prince (Michael Jackson, Al Green, etc.)" #911-If the guy you're talking to is trying to convince you that his "baby's mama" is a bitch, ho, triflin, etc., don't always believe the hype... #318-Not going to college is fine. At least get your High School Diploma/GED. Bragging that high school "wasn't your thing" is not sexy. #100-Tattoos of your current gf/bf name isn't a good idea. #101-Tattoos of your current nickname ain't a good idea either. #877-Don't put "Worked at Pure Passion from 1997-2001" on your resume...unless you're auditi...
