So... today is the last day of Black Music Month and I participated in this challenge by Naima Cochrane. I shared the challenge with friends and one, Portia, decided to up the level of difficulty and say that we could not repeat artists. I had already done day 1, but still felt confident in my...

TGIF 8/7/15
Hey everyone! Happy Friday!!! I have been having a rough time lately and I thought it would be nice to make a celebratory Friday post. Let's start off with an awesome turtle picture. That is the turtle on a shirt that my sister got me from Otakon several years ago. I love it! It is... Continue Reading →
Knowing your mistakes: The gift and the curse
I woke up from a dream that I was both hoping not to finish and anxious to see what happened at the end. I dream in epic fashion. It is not uncommon for my dreams to go from romantic comedy to gangster movie to Marvel comic action movie to musical to WTF in a matter... Continue Reading →
Dear Baltimore… if I were mayor…
In response to The Daily Post's writing prompt: "We Built This City." I truly do love my city. I love the good and the bad about this place. You can't really say you love a place (or anyone or anything for that matter) if you don't take the bad as well as the good. We have... Continue Reading →
Picking my flavor: When twitter & daily blog prompts collide
In response to The Daily Post's writing prompt: "32 Flavors." This is a funny prompt because one of my Twitter friends just asked what everyone's favorite flavor of Talenti is. I am lactose intolerant so me eating ice cream is like dancing with the devil. That being said... the devil and I do dance occasionally. Hell... Continue Reading →

I immediately think of my happy place and how hard it is for me to get there. First you have to go through some mountains. I have never really been hiking so I... Continue Reading →
Why didn’t I study abroad???
In response to The Daily Post's writing prompt: "Study Abroad." Okay, when I read this prompt I began to list all of the places I remember saying I wanted to go when I was planning for college. Then I remembered all of the programs that I looked at while I was in college. Studying abroad... Continue Reading →
The things I never said…
In response to The Daily Post's writing prompt: "Set It To Rights." So this prompt spoke to me rather quickly. Mostly because I am one to let a lot of things slide. I simply don't feel like it is worth the anxiety, anger, and regret that come with confrontation. Most times the confrontation does nothing to... Continue Reading →
Nameless loves…
In response to The Daily Post's writing prompt: "The Name’s The Thing." I recently discovered (well admitted to myself) that I am attached to things. When I think about it all the things I have that I love I realize that since things have been replaced I haven't named them. My car used to have a... Continue Reading →
Going in circles at the Crossroads
There is this place in your life that resembles a crossroads. A spot where all of a sudden you are standing in one spot and have roads going in all different directions surrounding you. Generally you have no idea how on earth you got there. Rarely you can remember the road you were on in... Continue Reading →
