  • Who puts $2.00 of gas in their car…

    Wi$e-Guy Money Roll, originally uploaded by Gnerk.
    In the midst of my new explorative relationship with Mr. Anytime, I met various characters along the way. There was one guy, Mr. Economical, who decided for our first date we’d go to a fun center in Alpharetta. We stopped at the gas station on Buford Hwy for him to put $2.00 worth of gas in his car. Yes, $2.00! Now even if this was 1998, and gas was $1.00 a gallon- 1) [...]

  • Usually I wouldn't… but It's Michael Jackson R.I.P

    A true entertainer. An infamous legend.  He will never be replaced. Never duplicated. RIP

  • We have to know we deserve better…

    Stupid girls, originally uploaded by Ms. Palindrome.
    To avoid appearing self indulgent, I wanted to share stories of people that I know and/or heard of, and the various situations they encountered during my relationship struggles that made me feel as if my drama was never quite “that” bad. Honestly it’s these stories that keep women, and some men in trouble. We feel that the stories we are listening too over our self implemented- extended lunch breaks, are mountains compared to our [...]

  • Where did all of this cushion come from…

    If Betty can be called ugly, I guess I have to accept fat. And  not phat like Monique boasts about (although I hear she’s dropped a ton of weight), but I am overweight.  (Not obesely- please don’t get it twisted) I’m as cute as a butter leather Prada bag, but thicker than I should be. Truth be told, this has been a mental struggle all my life that [...]

  • A Few Good Men..

    I’m typically not a broken record however I am a Libra by most of its definitions. We are smart, cute, funny, and indecisive. So when a relationship ended for me, I would normally second guess myself, wondering if I had made the right decision and apparently the men would feel that way as well, because they would be open to dating again.
    Now, don’t get it twisted- they would present the idea, but I would accept it, and usually without hesitation. [...]

  • Dating isn't always fun…

    Well my instincts were right on. We were together again. But this time, being a little older and more mature, I wasn’t impressed with how he was beginning to settle for the glam of his chosen lifestyle. I have wasted so much time in my life, but I was truly displeased with how he was wasting his. Needless to say, it wasn’t for me and we went our separate ways. (Let me reiterate how much I loved this man and [...]

  • My first love…

    Couple black swan, originally uploaded by maruli786.
    Well of course there were social and personal affects occurring at that same time in my life. When I began GSU, I was instantly attracted to a guy who would eventually be mine. He was a football player, from a more southern part of Georgia, with a baby and baby’s mother that were left behind so he could pursue his all American start (We’ll call him Mr. Football). He was quite a ladies man, [...]

  • A Career? Doing what?

    Look Here for a New Career, originally uploaded by Clay Haskell.
    I have wanted to be every type of professional there is. I wanted be a doctor, then a lawyer, a teacher (my unfinished bachelor’s degree still haunts my mother), a poet after the movie Love Jones was a hit, then I thought after someone asked me if I watch CSI, that it only made sense that I would pursue a career in forensics!! Needless to say, I left the university [...]

  • The Making of a Brown Girl…

    The beginning (and a little background)…
    Well I think it’s only right to start at the beginning, so you will know where I am coming from and I think it will be good for me to recap my life, consider my future even gain a little perspective. I lived in Decatur, GA for more than half my life. My middle- class and rather close family consisted of my mother and father and an older brother. I was and [...]
