Sade to soothe your workday blues

I had just finished an eight hour shift- at home- and needed some musical relief. The only singer that came to mind was Sade. I searched YouTube for her live concerts and found two. One was from 1994 at a Montreux Jazz Festival; it was fifty- four minutes long. The second one, from September 21, […]

The Promiscuous Virgin

The Tony Award that got away from this Promiscuous “Virgin’s” Monologues. The review was malicious and scathing about her lead role in the play, Virgin Monologues. Cheryl thought it was a bad idea. But she hadn’t worked in over a year. Her agent urged her to say yes to something soon before the fans “replaced her.” But […]

The Yellow Pages can be tricky

Sharell grabbed the Yellow Pages. Its only purpose until now was to even out the lopsided leg of her coffee table. She scanned the pages to locate the five strangers. If she found them, she would blackmail them into giving her an alibi. She didn’t want to deal with anyone close to home. They couldn’t […]

The Plot Thickens to a juicy tell

I have not taken to podcast, to be honest. There is so much content to see, I feel like they are an interruption. However, over the past few weeks, I have stumbled upon a couple I’ve enjoyed. One of them being, The Plot Thickens from Turner Classic Movies with host Ben Mankiewicz. The first season […]

The Wrong Missy is Just Right

Let me start by saying, I am a David Spade fan. I do think he is one of the funniest and most slept on comedic actors to come out of Saturday Night Live. The reviews are pretty rough for this movie though. Only thirty- three percent liked it on Rotten Tomatoes and it has a […]

Emotional baggage must now be checked in at the airport

“Thank you for traveling with Star Flights. You’ll need to have your emotional baggage checked at station 201”, the clerk said. “Thank you, mam”, Claire said as she walked in the direction of the clerk’s finger. “Hello. I’ll take those”, the employee said. She then placed each emotional baggage on the scale behind her. After […]

The Water Dancer will not quench your thirst

I wanted to like this book. I mean, if Oprah likes it- who am I to say otherwise. However, there are a lot of issues with this story. First, you can tell from the #of pages either or both Coates and his editor have an editing problem. I have not seen the paperback but I […]

When Tyler Perry speaks- listen

I just had to hit you with this Monday morning “Good News”. Over the weekend, I was sitting on my couch doing homework. Yes, I am a junior at Southern New Hampshire University. I like to have something on whether I’m paying attention to it or not because I don’t like a quiet room. So, […]

Dream big or go home

One thing that always gives me hope is knowing that my mind is my own. Material things can be taken away from you. But no one can take your imagination, memories, and knowledge away. I think that is why slaves were not allowed to learn how to read. Imagine what they would have done with […]
