Katrina, 10 Years Later

This was a modern day genocide that no one is talking about, plain and simple. Ten years ago saw one of the worse catastrophes that world didn't know about in full. I remember sitting down and watching the news reports and I remember feeling anger and disbelief that the country I lived in, did nothing for days and days, wi ...

Don't Think, Just Do It

Sometimes you just have to go out and do it. Recently a lot of people that I know personally and a lot of my twitter followers have been acting rather strangely, well a lot more strange than usual. One of the big things that I've noticed is that they talk themselves out of opportunities that will have a major impact on their lives. T ...

When The Unexpected Happens

My first impromptu post of 2015! So for reasons untold I was pretty bummed out during the day because I wasn't able to attend my cousins 30th birthday party. So after about, I'm going to say a year of no drinking heavy at least, I made my glorious return. I grabbed me a bottle of fireball, because that's the only thing th ...

Straight Outta Compton Movie Review

First I want to say that the casting of this movie was extremely well done, everyone nailed their roles. It was kind of crazy to see how well these artists portray and hit every stride of their characters. So I really appreciate them on that part because usually when we get a biopic that actors actually fit the roles and do it well. That was ...

Dear Female Black Bloggers

You are creating something special. In a time where the news is setup to portray our race as no more than a bunch of savages, made for slaughtering like animals, you're shining a brighter light that they simply cannot extinguish. The main goal is to try to kill us at any cost in all avenues, whether it be sports, fashion, ...

Online Dating? Nah ..

Friend: So how many matches did you get on Tinder? Me: Not a single swipe right bro. Friend: *Laughs*, That's impossible, everyone get's at least one. Me: Well I guess you just met the world's first no one then. That's the typical conversation that I have when it comes to online dating, I just suck at it. There's no se ...

The Good Luck Chuck Theory

This is going to be pretty funny when I read this in retrospect one day lol. Ok so if you're unfamiliar with the whole "Good Luck Chuck" theory, let me explain: it's from a movie entitled, well Good Luck Chuck and it centers around, well Chuck and he's a successful dentist who just so happens to be cursed by a girl when h ...

Out of The Shadows

So I'm sitting on the edge of my bed as I write this. Today was a very long day, Jonathan Ferrell's trial was ruled a mistrial after jurors said race didn't play a part and we still don't know really know what happened to Sandra Bland inside of that jail cell. That among other things going on in this country such as  the sh ...

Wise Up & Shut Up

This is one of those self analyzing posts where I have an epiphany about something that I do that's flat out wrong, today that's realizing I react too quickly.

Energy Boost

You know a day is pretty random and out there when you had to cancel the blog you were planning on posting to write about the day mentioned. I don't usually do this, but I just felt an overwhelming need to do this because it was just so random. You can be the judge for yourself. Well first I work night shift and it was pretty slow, so th ...

Fantastic Four Movie Review

Move along, nothing to see here. So this movie wasn't that bad as people said it was going to be. The general feeling that I got from this movie was that it was rushed and the pay off was just not there. The setup was great, it's just that the fast forward from when they got their powers was too sudden, and that working with the military ...

Dear Black Girl, Change Has To Come By Michelene J

Dear Black Girl, A change is gonna come. A change has to come. If it did not come, our roughest hour would last an eternity. If that was the case, hope would not exist. And yes, the good times come have to come to an end as well. We have to have faith that change has the potential to bring forth something greater. Change gives us all so ...

Do Something About It By Liz Lafontant

I can't take a lot of ya'll seriously. You go hard for Sandra Bland today but once social media stops talking about it so do you. The oppressors really don't take you temporary protesters seriously because they know you'll be mad just as long as it's a trending topic. Why do you think this shit keeps happening? Because social media is only ...

Trainwreck Movie Review

This movie was funnier than I expected to be. I came into this movie not expecting too much from it, just like when I watched Spy, and in the same fashion I was surprised by how funny it was. I honestly thought this was going to be another sappy and corny love movie, but at the beckoning of some of my friends to watch it, I did and realized ...

Entourage Movie Review

The boys are back! Well sort of .. When this movie was announced I was excited because I knew that it was going to fix the last season and how it was suppose to end. And where I thought it was going to be a one off type of film where they rode into the sun, I was turned back around and shown truly that there isn't such a thing as a last ...

Love x Dream x Smile Blog Review

I love people who aren't scared of being vulnerable. I say that to say this: those people who can't be openly vulnerable while teaching a lesson are the kind of people who everyone needs in their life simply because they know how to succeed from failure. That's what the essence of what my blog is and that's what the essence of Love x Dream ...

Solitary Confinement

*Shuffles papers* Excuse me, I had to go through some notes I took during this little talk I had with a good friend of mine. That talk actually produced three really great blog topics, this and another one I'm posting now, with the other reserved for a future date. I like the other one more than I like this one for the sim ...

Mission Impossible: Rouge Nation Movie Review

This movie was on par for what I was expecting from it, and that's a great thing. I've been more vocal when it comes to movie franchises such as this and the Fast and Furious, while most ask what else can they do with these franchises? My answer to that is a simple, a lot. Movie franchises such as this one survived in it's longevi ...

Rants & Raves XI

Here we go again. So much is going on right now in the world, it's actually becoming kind of hard to keep up. Most of it is emotionally draining, while most of it is just plain annoying. I'm one of those people who doesn't really speak on situations or things that annoy me because if I don't really care about them, w ...

Don't you just love the times we live in currently? I wanted to wait awhile to post this, so I can gather all of the facts and to just sit back and look at all of the comments on the situation.

My Favorite Rap Artists, Vol. 8 | Kendrick Lamar

You vandalize my perception but can't take style from me. - (Blacker The Berry, 2015) He's something like a renaissance man. He challenged everyone of his fellow peers back in 2013, and s ...

Well look who it is, August. So we're entering the final stages of the year, where the last of the cookouts will be held, just one more beach trip is to be had and those homecoming's will start to take effect. Most importantly the weather starts to change into the cooler, more friendly kind of atmosphere. August bridges that summer feeli ...
