Prompt 1244: insomnia
Not being able to sleep can be a blessing and a curse depending on who you talk to. It’s a blessing for workaholics and their ever increasing schedule but a curse for those that just want to sleep and forget that the world and themselves exist. There are also the ones who just flow with those moments as they come. I guess I could say I go with the flow, seeming as of today and most...

Prompt 1246: Reason to Live
He lays beside me with his eyes closed in slumber. We learn so much from each other whenever we have our time together; so many missteps but we’ve become more in sync with time. At first with awkward handling and tense steps, with tricky buttons and bra straps we’ve slowly found our way. To think the thought of what were doing now was so taboo to us. Mabye it still is but...

Funky Bus Ride
I can handle funky people, I can handle the heat but when someone smells funky and it’s a good 90 degrees out that’s where I draw the line. To make it even worse, he’s sitting right in front of me and there are no seats left. But of course that’s what I get when I catch a ride on the city bus.

Staring Ahead
Desmond lied down on his teen cousin’s formerly lost skateboard in his backyard and let his mind wander to the past few days. He thought of his mother crying most of the time, his laid out ironed black suit and polished dress shoes, who was going to take care of Queenie the dog and if his mother would have to let everyone hug, coddle them for a while. He swatted at a mosquito in...

Thinking of Different Recipe Ideas
Sweet potato bread balanced with the taste of pears for a kick.

A turkey spaghetti fixed with yellow and green bell peppers or red and green or red and yellow.

Prompt: a child's teddy bear
“Why are you taking this ratty old thing with you?” My mother held up the left leg of Henry, my most prized possession, “If you need more space why not get rid of this crap?” Not this again… “What’s the harm of taking one little stuffed animal?,” I questioned while packing my favorite purple sweater,”I’m not taking all of my animals ...

PC Trouble
I’ve been out for two days because my hard drive for my laptop finally had it. It just couldn’t take the strain I put on it for so long. It started to act funny when it made this weird whirring sound whenever I tried to turn it on at least four days ago. No matter how many times I clicked it on and turned it off, it wouldn’t budge.
My dad got it working right this one time and...

Just a Short Post
I’m sitting here in my shirt and jeans, a grown a out natural under a crotched hat just waiting for my hair appointment to this natural hair salon. I’m thinking of going with Sengalese twits or whatever would fit my budget; if I have enough hair for styling. But the chances are good that I’m going to need it cut a bit to even it out. If I can do anything with it.

Quick Write - Jade Earrings
“You see these. Only the best jade is saved for certain people.” I looked at the contrast between her coffee colored skin and the dark green tootsie roll shaped jade hanging from her lobes. I hated to say it but Christine had a point; that type of cut and color you would never get for just peanuts. “My father got these for me for my sweet sixteen a few days early”, this...

Three Books I Want to Finish
I always keep piling on things for me to do. I planned to read and finish a book called “Soledad Brother” in some amount time and I was on the 95Th page. I also bought a book on Jimi Hendrix called “Broken Mirrors” (I’m on page 46) and a book on women in the Black Panthers called “A Taste of Power” (I have yet to start it).
Since then I have bought at...

Just woke up at 3:35 In the Morning
More than a little bit early for the time I actually wake up but it’ll do for now. My mind is racing too much for me to try and go back to sleep (which is a usual pattern in my life) so why not stay awake and wait long enough for Dad to go to work to play my MJ experience game.
Maybe I’ll get tired later on today.

I Think I'm In Trouble
(Taps on the mike) Uh, hey ya’ll. I know my lazy procrastinating self said I was going to get some writing done. I still plan to but…I’m a procrastinator (looks around awkwardly). Only thing new I can talk about at the moment is my driving and finding new natural hair websites; pretty beige life so far. That is until I go off to school, get a job, my license or any of the above....

Oh, I Forgot to Mention
I went to the Art Institute yesterday to get all of my credentials together for school. One of the things I wanted to do first was get my license and a job before I left for school. I wanted to start my school year in July so I could have more than enough time to do all that.
Mr. LeGrue, one of the men that’s assigned to recruit students, has been helping me out on getting accepted. I went...

Throwback Moment "Space Jam"
Growing up in the nineties was the perfect opportunity to still see cartoons, films, music, etc that was simple without going overboard. Computers were still new in a way and the Internet didn’t dominate everything like it does now. It was that special time that was in the cusp of simplicity and the birth of advanced technology.
CGI was just the beginning of what was to come in special...

Mixtape Review: "Snick @ Nite" By Curtiss King
This mix tape was a creative take on TV shows from the 70’s - 90’s on Nickelodeon. Rapper Curtis King takes us on a nostalgic ride while he reminisces on TV shows he (and probably you) watched as a kid.
What impressed me the most about all the tracks was how the theme of each show was used as a beat. Either a section was looped together, scratched or whatever each song gives you a...

Two on Two
I have three older brothers, two half and one full brother. From oldest to youngest: Damon, Darrel and William. My two oldest brothers were children of Damon Sr. and my mom back in the seventies. William and I were children of our father, Willie E. Lee and our mother. Same Mother, different Dads. Two brown skinned kids against two light skinned ones.
Funny thing was, is that I didn’t...

The Boondocks Third Season
Note: do not read if you did not watch the episode.
Watching this made me put into perspective about the election four years ago and how everyone reacted. But first let me explain the Boondocks for those who don’t understand it. “The Boondocks” at first started out as newspaper cartoon then moved up to a syndicated cartoon show on a program called “Adult Swim”, an...

The Obama Poster and The Copies
Remember this? How all of us saw this two years ago during the campaign and a majority were rooting for Obama. I looked at these and thought how clever and positive they were. But also how down the line we were going to see plenty of parodies and people with way too much self-importance with something of it’s copy.
Like here for example:
At first something like this was funny but after...

Went Through a Quick Depression
I’ve been having these more often than not. I’m finished with high school and already I have to quickly plan for my future and official adulthood. Get ready for a career, earn money for future endeavors, move out of my parents house and eventually living on my own in another state entirely or somewhere else in Texas.
I’m just kind of scared and at crossroads right now....

Prince
Out of all the artists I’ve listened to and enjoyed I would sincerely say that he is one of those that shares a special spot with MJ. I’m saying when it comes to how much I love both on an equal scale and their talents. Where Michael was more virginal and innocent by appearances, Prince was more dirty and sexual. Songs like “Darling Nikki”, “Head” and...
