Alicia Keys performed at The Tabernacle last night in Atlanta to help two local radio personalities celebrate their ninth anniversary on the air. I attended the concert with one of my BFFs, let's call her "Elle". Neither of us are what you would consider huge AK fans but decided to go since the tickets were free.Upon entering the concert venue, our first order of business was to get a cocktail.

I've been tagged by AJ at Over Analyze It to participate in a meme. A meme is akin to a chain letter where I have to tag other bloggers and post 7 random and/or weird facts about myself.Just the facts (I'll let you determine if they're weird or not):I was attacked by a swarm of yellow jackets in the summer of 2006I want to be featured in Essence Magazine's annual "they look good for their age"

I don't care about ghost, goblins, nor witches brew. But I do know that a bad day can always be made a little better by these two.

Granted, we all have issues and could benefit from a good therapist or most times, an old fashion prayer meeting. But I am tired of being the designated "whipping post" for individuals who decide to project their negative emotions on me. Below is an email exchange between me and a family member that pissed me the hell off and has forced me to start the process of weeding and pruning my Loved-Ones

I have loved Jill Scott since she first hit the scene. Her lyrics and songs gives voice to many women who live and love everyday! For any moderately successful person, male or female, there are those who will have nothing but hate for you and your blessings. Most times it's those closest to you. Thank you Jilly from Philly for providing us with a new theme song!!Go 'head and hate on me, hate on '

I started my morning with the normal routine, up at 5:00 a.m., in the gym by 6:00. Since I forgot my CD player and headphones at home, I could not tune out the chatter of the two individuals next to me (male and female). From what I overheard, both are miserably married and close to divorce. They were married in their early twenties and are now in their forties and they have seen Tyler Perry's

I've been thinking about the direction in which I want to take this blog. Although, the heading says these are "my thoughts on everyday musings and major irritations", I am considering delving into more personal topics, but I am somewhat skittish. These "personal" topics will not divulge any details about my life that will leave me vulnerable to stalkers or the garden variety crazies that you

Ms LaBelle reminds me so much of the women from my childhood who didn't "play" with children! Well this "cat" tried to get "mannish" with Ms. LaBelle and she put him in check. I'm sure he felt about 2 inches tall when she was finished.Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir? Voulez-vous coucher avec moi? Apparently he didn't realize this was a rhetorical question.Hat tip to: Young, Black & Fabulous

New charges are expected against the persons accused of torturing Megan Williams in Big Creek, W. Virginia.Read the story here.UPDATED: HOT WAX & URINE"Megan Williams' statement said the defendants told her they didn't like black people and that they were going to hang her, though no hate crime charges were filed." Apparently the prosecutors are focusing on charges that will result in longer

I am fed up with physicians and their lack of customer service for patients. Therefore, I am putting them and their office staff on BLAST!My appointment was at 9:00 am and I was instructed not to eat or drink anything after midnight just in case the doctor had to do a biopsy. Also, I had to bring someone with me just in case he had to administer anesthesia. I arrive 15 minutes ahead of my

The assault of a black person at the hands of a white person is nothing new. The inequities in the American judicial system for blacks is almost as commonplace as it was during the days of Jim Crowe. However, two recent events have left me outraged, scratching my head, asking how can this still be happening in 2007? The first one is the incident in Jena, Louisiana. You can read about it here and

In memory of the 2,974 people who lost their lives on this day six years ago.We are a nation of SURVIVORS! Does it sound too much like a Miss America contestant to say I pray for world peace? Well, I do. The peace has to go beyond the borders of our nation and so does the prayers.After we pray for the surviving family and friends of the Sept. 11th victims, take a moment to tell your loved ones

He didn’t look like Denzel, Will Smith, Idris Elba, or Boris Kodjoe, although he can hold his own. But more importantly, neither did he look like Gary Coleman. The latter was a huge relief, believe me.A big shout out to Tracey, my matchmaking friend, who was on point with her description of my blind date. He is attractive, successful, funny, and yes, he was a nice guy. We exchanged contact

As the title of this post indicates, I am a single black female. Some days I consider this a blessing and some days, a curse...depending on my mood, the time of day, time of month, it may be both.So I have a blind date on Friday. I'm excited about it. My date has been described as a successful college grad, physically active, attractive and an all around nice guy. Jokingly, another friend offered

As I hinted to in a previous post regarding Mike Vick, I don’t think he made a wise choice and IF the allegations are true, he is a heartless soul. The operative word being IF. Innocent until proven guilty no longer applies, not that it ever did. We’ve all formed an opinion, including me. I will wait to see how it plays out in court before demanding his employer, The Atlanta Falcons, give him the

The Georgia State Supreme Court is hearing this case as of this morning at 10:00. I wait with bated breath to see if common sense will prevail. Genarlow Wilson was 17 when he was convicted of aggravated child molestation of a 15 year old girl after engaging in a consensual sex act. WTH? Yes, getting blown in the state of Georgia can land you in jail. Well, it isn't that simple, but you get the

I'm sure you've heard by now that Mike Vick of the Atlanta Falcons has been indicted in VA surrounding the dog fighting ring. If the allegations are proven to be true, Vick could face actual jail time. What was he thinking?I'm no fanatical animal lover, I despise PETA and it's tactics, I can't related to those who allow their pets to sleep in their beds, and I think you're one nasty-arse if you
