What an Amazing Year


What a fucking fantastic year! Despite having the worst economic situtaion since nobody alive know when, and the passing of the Greatest Artist of All Time...this was a pretty phenomenal year.

In January I saw the first black man become President.

I don't even need to say anymore about that.

Vampires captured a nation. More icons died this summer than I don't know what! We lost a Kennedy, Ms. Buns of Steel, and Michael. For Christmas the Pope got knocked the fuck out! Oprah announced that she's ending her show as we know it and going to cable. Brittany Murphy died too young. A Nigerian is now on the terrorist list with Al Queda. There was a diabolical black serial killer. Everybody found out how much stoking Tiger's been doing. (And sadly to say...too many people were addicted to hearing and talking about it...)Dick Cheney talked entirely too much, and Sarah Palin is still dumb (she even put a book out to prove just how much...in her own words.) As if a Black President wasn't enough, Disney put out a Black Princess...(I went it see it...wasn't impressed.) They sent the parents of the boy in the bubble to jail....and they soaked up every piece of camera time they could. The economy ate jobs like the Cookie Monster eats Chips Ahoy, and Showtime actually came out with two good HBO quality shows. The Sex and the City movie came out...and women all over the country got dressed up and went to see it...and it was AWESOME! (Even though...personally...if a guy stands me up at the alter we can't ever speak again...)

What an amazing year.

with a year like this one, who knows what 2010 has in store? I can't wait to see.

It's Been a Long Time


It's been a long time, but I haven't forgotten. So many wonderful and so many awful things have been happening, it's a wonder I'm still sane, let alone able to write on this blog. I've been reading, writing, (*drinking), and doing all of the requisite activities people have who are going through a lot.

What does it seem that the Holidays bring about this whole weight of garbage? This recession isn't helping any at all. Many are STRESSED the hell out, and I am no exception. Overwhelming feelings of all the things I have to do have me feeling as if everyday is an out-of-body experience. I'll be glad when the holidays are over and everything can just go back to normal.

Some of the wonderful reasons that I haven't been able to jog on and rant as often is because I'm become quite the social butterfly and have next to no time to sit down and write on this blog. I mean...I am writing reviews for a literature site...but aside from that...a diva is OUT! (Macy's has become my new sanctuary...)

Well, with the death of Chris Henry, the scandals of Tiger Woods, and holiday shopping there need not be anything more stated.

Happy Holidays...and stay stressed free.
