Someone asked me if I would choose skating or sex? What the hell kind of question is that? The wheels will be there after the romance is over. And, being in my birthing years, having sex can take me off of my wheels and mess up years of practice and learning. WHEELS! WHEELS! WHEELS! Note:…

Recanting About Radio Disney…A Little
I have to bite my tongue….a little. In my post, Radio Disney needs more diversity, I shared that more soul is needed in their musical selections. I still feel the same. However, I received word that GenTech Digital Media Education & Training Center was invited to discuss video game creation, 2-D and 3-D animation, web…
To ABC: Where Are the Black People on Desperate Housewives?
I like Desperate Housewives. I’ve been watching the shows for years. During those years, there was only one Black family on Wisteria Lane. After they were written out after the first season, there hasn’t been any. Disappointing. I emailed ABC either last year or year before last about the absence of African Americans. I forgot…
I GOT ANOTHER IDEA!
Ok, the ideas just keep rolling in. I’m going to need a scroll to keep up with everything. Although I cannot do it right now as I need to continue to focus on my writing business and two blogs, I am certain that things will fall into place as they have done so up this…
I Am in A Medium State of Frustration
I want to write something so badly on one of my blogs, but I don’t know how my readers will react to it. It’s not bad, but it’s not good. It’s merely an observation, but I know something will be said. Also, adding to my frustration is the fact that I actually care about what…
I’m Always Pulling My Friends Into My Mess
Which isn’t a bad thing. The bad thing is – I can’t pay them right now. My friend, Demond, is the greatest. I tell him my technology issues and he helps me figure them out. I told him about a service I’m going to provide through The Write Design Company, and he just started sharing…
People of Color with HIV/AIDS Not Seen on TV
In January, I wrote a story African American Women with HIV/AIDS Are Not Seen on TV because I felt that Black women are virtually ignored by mainstream media in general. Just look at TV shows on ABC, NBC, CBS, and Fox; blockbuster films; and TV commercials. They are NOT there. Anyway, I received a press release…
I’ve Got to Start Thinking Globally
With my writings that is. I’m finding that I think locally because Shorty is a South Side Resource. However, my thoughts on my findings are universal. In fact, it would be better if other people knew, that way, it would take some of the pressure off of me. It’s not that what I’m doing is…
Ida B. Wells is Officially My Hero
While visiting the Freedom’s Sisters Exhibit at DuSable Museum, I had the opportunity to get up close and personal with 20 courageous and dedicated women in African American History. While it was the most blessed experience, I would have to say that learning about Ida B. Wells had the most profound impact on me. She…
Thanks So Much for Volunteering Me…Not!
I was at a meeting of a group to which I belong on Saturday because I needed a place to hang until my ride arrived. Please keep in mind that I was there out of need more than want. Anyway, a couple of the attendees were discussing things that could make our group a little…
