Just another work in progress!
Sitting in box 36 of The DAR Constitution Hall ready to watch Trevor Noah, I couldn’t help but feel four things: blessed, relieved, confused, and distraught. The first emotion I felt was blessed. Why did I feel blessed? Well, if you’re familiar with parking in downtown D.C., then you’ll KNOW finding parking close to the […]
I miss my younger years, and I’m only twenty-six! Life was much easier as a child. No student loan repayments, no phone bills, no car payments, no insurance for the car payments, no having to dodge solicitors and/or canvassers pushing their products on me or asking me for money. I mean I don’t have it […]
*No copyright infringement intended for the above image* Have you ever noticed that the language surrounding yoga, when speaking with yogis, is centered on the act of practicing yoga, and not doing yoga? What’s the difference? Well, doing something implies a bit of a checklist mentality; however, practicing involves more of an ongoing interaction for […]
I took a walk around my neighborhood yesterday. My phone’s data was maxed out so instead of listening to a podcast I just observed my surroundings, and entertained a mental conversation with myself. However, about 10 minutes into my walk, what I observed reminded me of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. I feel like I have […]
*No copyright intended for displayed image* “The Seventh Sense” Lynne Truss begins her seven chapter book with a challenge for the reader. Can you spot the mistake from the following advertisement: “Come inside, for CD’s, Video’s, DVD’s, and Book’s.”?

I’m not a gamer, but I still dug the concept of Ernest Cline’s first novel, Ready Player One. Essentially, the world is over polluted, over crowded, and life is unaffordable. Many people are barely able to eat a sufficient amount of food. However, the way most people escape the problems of the real world is […]
The Intro As my index finger swiped the kindle screen to the left, my eyes were greeted by the Akan proverb: “The family is like the forest: if you are outside it is dense; if you are inside you see that each tree has its own position.” Family. Does it begin with our nuclear unit: […]
“Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn’t.” (Mark Twain) I thought Phaedra Parks from the Real Housewives of Atlanta was savage, but the dynamics within the Trump White House, as narrated by Michael Wolff in his book Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White […]
I just saw Crazy Rich Asians with my coworkers this Sunday!! The beginning was pretty consistent with the book, but as the film continued I noticed the film writers deviated at times to accelerate and simplify the plot–the overall effect of some of the deviations made the film come off at times as a bit choppy.

I love high quality products/experiences that fall under a Walmart price range. Unfortunately, the rest of the word is still convinced that one should pay top dollar for quality products. So, from where do I get my inspiration to live lavishly but within my budget? Through my guilty pleasure of watching reality tv of course! […]
