Radio Tea…If you care :-)
Believe me…this is a post I never planned on doing and probably seems to have come completely out of left field. It’s not something that I talk about on a regular basis anymore because I don’t listen to the radio. Well…I do listen to NPR but that’s different. This probably won’t interest some of you and wonder,…
Columbus History: Graceland Shopping Center named after well known madame…I LIVE!!!
I’ve mentioned before that I always look at things around town and wonder what was there before. Everything has a story, everything has a history. When you research you can uncover so many interesting facts. My recent discovery gave me life! I heard about this a few of years ago while watching WOSU’s “Columbus Neighborhoods: Clintonville” episode, and…
Petty Post: Don’t Argue With *itchigan Fans
We’re just going to get right down to it. No BS’ing around! So I made the decision this year and most likely from now on that I’m not going to waste my valuable time and argue with *itchigan fans. I mean…for what? What else do we have to prove? All they have is their mouth…
Columbus History: Restaurants
Just a fun little post that I did before when I first started my website; and of course it was one that magically disappeared. Oh no…I’m not bitter (side-eye). Anyway…the history nerd in me is always researching and looking up information; mainly on things here in Columbus, Ohio. I’ve always had this fascination when I see a building…
Allow me to re-introduce myself……..
Today marks the three-year anniversary of my website going live with its first post. Of course all of my writings from the first year were “lost” by my whack web host (which I will be getting rid of very soon). So I decided what a great day to re-introduce myself. I’m not neglecting my writing or…
STORY TIME: My Discussion on race with a Somalian Man
About ten years ago I was in the waiting room at the car dealership while my car was being serviced. I was just sitting there minding my business, drinking water and listening to my MP3 player when this young Somalian man; about my age, came and sat down across from me. I was about 26 or 27 at…
Dear Bobby Brown…
So…(deep sigh)…I finally finished reading R&B singer Bobby Brown’s auto-biography titled “Every Little Step” and let me just say this…Bobby…you’re about to get it. You TRIED the living and the deceased all in one swoop. First, let me start off by saying that the book to me was not a good read. It was all…
2016 BET Awards Recap, Read, Roast and Gathering………..Part 1
Last night the 2016 BET Awards aired via Viacom…meaning it aired on every single damn Viacom channel. Thank you corporate america! Now, I really don’t see it for the BET Awards and haven’t for some years now. I think that I was done when I saw Citi Trends as a sponsor. It seems from then…
2016 BET Awards Recap, Read, Roast and Gathering………..Part 2
The post is getting a little long, so I’m breaking it into two parts…. Alicia Keys…GIRL!!! Dear Alicia Keys! I mean! What happened sis? Please bring back the old Alicia Keys…preferably circa 2001-2005. That’s all I’m going to give you and your ‘Garage Band’ performance. Myself and others called it at the beginning of the show…
Who’s really the racist?
I was going to do a series of post on Facebook to address this reverse racism issue that is really becoming quite old. I’m sick of talking about race period but the reality of the situation is that racism is here and obviously not going anywhere. Some people appear to be confused with who and…
