I am well qualified to teach Black history…although I probably shouldn’t. One’s ability to do a thing and whether it’s proper to do said thing are two completely different camels in the same shed. I am far too honest and blatant in my delivery to teach a subject as touchy and emotional as my peoples’ […]
Only a person with children can comprehend the level of exhaustion of which I am about to speak. When I was single, I thought I had no time, and I thought that I was tired. Then I had my first child in December 2004, and I have not had a decent night’s sleep since. It’s […]
This morning as I was driving into work, some douche in a VW Jetta cut me off and then took his foot off the gas for no reason. I was already 15 minutes late for work…why did he want to make me LATER? What did I do to him?? The pants I’m wearing have a […]
Did you see this video last week? http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/41365925 This is Nadin Khoury, a 13 year old boy who lives in Upper Darby, PA. He was beaten up by a pack of bullies. After I watched this video, I did some searching on the history precipitating this incident. I discovered that Nadin and I have something […]
*Warning* If you are easily offended, NOW would be a good time to stop reading. Still reading? Okay. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. Uncle Ruckus and I have one thing in common: We both hate niggers. Well, that’s not entirely true. Uncle Ruckus hates all Black people and I hate niggers. And I’m […]
Whoever is head of marketing at Chick-fil-a is a genius. This weekend Chick-fil-a’s across the region had a Daddy Daughter Date night in their restaurants. To provide an air of exclusivity, you had to sign up online to get your reservation. My girls, being the divas in training that they are, decided that they wanted […]
Don’t dump your boyfriend/husband just yet! Read on: The longer I’m married, the more I realize that I only have limited influence on what my husband says and does. Every talk show host and new age advice guru will tell you that you can’t change a person. And that may be true. Perhaps YOU can’t, […]
I am easily impressed. Unless an individual or corporation makes a deliberate and obvious attempt at epic failure (like those douche water enema bags Delta Airlines), I generally find the good in most people and services. But this week, Chick-fil-a hit it out of the park. I mean they just went above and beyond! If […]
Have you ever watched those sanitary pad commercials and asked yourself “Gee…why isn’t my life like that when I’m on my period?” I have. Why is it that I would rather close the shutters and hide in a dark, dank musty room with a box of Kleenex, a trunk full of chocolate and of course, […]
