Why I cried
Last night, the Heart Break Kid, Mr. Wrestlemania, Shawn Micheals, retired from WWE. Now, I know that there are folks who consider it a little silly that I am writing about this. For that, all I can say is, “At least I ain’t readin smut.” (SEE! I DIDN’T CALL OUT A NAME!) Last night, in [...]
News Items
Not national news; definitely not international news. Just “me stuff.” Because…I dunno, I think y’all like hearing about me. If you don’t, and you have a topic you’d like me to discuss or weigh in on, let me have it at wrecklessendangerment@gmail.com. I’m not going to pretend like I’m deep or whatever, but no gossip [...]
Torn
I was pretty damn sexy, if I may say so myself. This may be because at the time, I had no children, and I was not dating the babies’ daddy. That’s a woman with no problems. Two of my coworkers saw this picture and did not believe it was me. That’s due in part to [...]
Ruminations for that A$$!
Doesn’t Mo’Nique always look like she’s reading from the sick and shut in list when she speaks for an extended period? “And we will lift Sister But-er-um in pray-er…” I didn’t hear her Oscar acceptance speech, but I saw a flash on the news, and that’s how it was going in my mind. I’m so ornery lately. I [...]
Evolution, Revolution, Schmevolution
Books are the most divine creation. I’m happiest when I have my next 3-4 books plotted out. Quite often, The Dialectic and I discuss the joy of reading, and every so often, the Z word creeps up. In the past, I’ve been vocal about both not being a fan of her writing, and my dismay [...]
“And still I feel I’ve said too much, my silence is my self defense…”
Emotion is a funny thing, because it makes you want to do the exact opposite thing that everyone who counts on you, and even your own good sense, believes you should do. So rather than stand here, and say what I will do, or I won’t do, or what I want to do, I’m not [...]
A Simple Take on a Complex Topic
A friend asked for my take on the Academy Awards. Upon providing said opinion, he said that it should be a blog post, so: I will first TOTALLY ignore the elephant in the room that is “Precious,” and say that James Cameron proved that a heterosexual white male can effectively make the “Oh No This [...]
“I’m a grown ass man dawg…”
I am hosting a visitor. A strange creature arrived at my home, and invaded my 11 year old son’s body. I don’t know much about their culture, but I do know it involves taking 14,000 showers per day and Axe body spray. Watching him prepare his clothing is like watching a Peanuts’ special: ”Iron For [...]
Reality Bites
Charismatics and soldiers. When you get right down to it, that’s what the world is comprised of. Some folks just draw you right in, and the chips fall their way with little more than a smile on their part. It’s both a gift and a cultivated talent. These are the individuals that get under your skin [...]
Midnight Ruminations
I hate the in between. I’m not resting, I’m not productive. My mind is wandering, but I’m too relaxed to make firm decisions. There are times when I appreciate being pensive. Saturday nights, the in-betweens are perfectly acceptable. Even if I don’t go to bed on time, late sleeping is at least an option. On [...]
