When You
Cheers Again to 2021, May this year be filled with Everything Good. But I had a ‘shower thought’ minus the shower. I’m on the couch, about to lay down for the evening, nevermind it’s 605est, […]
Dear Blk Men
I know you might be scared to assist a Blk woman when she is being harassed by a black man, but please imagine how scared she might be in that situation. More often than not, […]
For Free
I either obsess about something, or I care absolutely nothing about it. Most times there’s no in between, a bad habit for sure but I am working on trying to find a balance. Lately a […]
The photograph
There’s something about Robert Glasper that just leave me speechless. His curation of music, of sounds, of leaving my fucking heart beating out of my chest, has to be an art form. IT IS AN […]
I think we’ve talked about this plenty times before but only now am I feeling the conviction of it. Whatever ideas are on your mind, are on your heart, you need to follow thru. Just do it, and do it now. Figure out how to make it work, whatever it is. If that means, moving forward on a smaller scale, or a little at a time, make it happen. I know Life has been crazy, extra crazy this year but that is the reason why everything you have been thinking of pursuing should be pursued! EVERYTHING!
For Example, Y’all know I live for the museum even if I’ve been there a million times, I don’t care, I’ll still go to see the same and it’ll be like my first time. Well a few weeks ago, I flew in from Baltimore, landing in Chicago on a Monday morning, the same day the new exhibit from Bisa Butler at The Art Institute of Chicago debut. I told myself I would go on Tuesday, but that morning I decided to stay in the bed, instead of going to the museum by Tuesday Night Chicago had issued a closing of all the museums due to the rising numbers of Covid-19.
I say all that to say, Do it now!
Tristan Jonez.
What will you be doing now?
Last Christmas
Just finished watching “Last Christmas” and guess what? … It made me cry! I promise I am becoming such a sap when it comes to romantic comedies, but in my defense, the tears fell on […]
Closure
Closure is a farce! I hate to be the one to tell you, but it truly doesn’t exist. There will be nothing a person could ever really say, that will cause you to ‘understand’ where […]
Anniversary!

Lost / love.
It’s weird to meet the Love of your life and Soulmate at 17 but it happened to me. Whats even weirder, to only be able to experience them for three years. Ali Sidney. Man, I […]
The Call
So y’all know, my ‘father’ and I aren’t cool, and I am not looking to change that anytime soon. I’m not going allow toxic folks into my World, no matter what their title might be […]
