Sista Big Bones the Third

About Me

I've lived in Mountain View, Kansas City, Columbia, Dresden, Coralville, and now Riverdale. Moving to New York was a no brainer. I was blessed with the opportunity to perform for a living, which just so happens to be what I've been going to school for since Kindergarten. Yes, there have been times when I wanted to go back to where the people smile outside of their homes, but I knew this was right when my mother told me it would be stupid of me to pass up this opportunity. Thank God for Mary Louise 'cause even though she miss her baby and all that I went through at Iowa and getting settled in up here, she never once said, "Precious, just come home." She's gotten a prophetic word so she tells me. What she won't do is tell me what it is. But she knows I love performing and she sees and hears from other people that I have a gift. This is just another sacrifice she has made for me 'cause she knows that if she asked me, I'd come home in a heartbeat. This is the first time I've had my own place and not been in school. It's wonderfully weird and everyday, I fall in love with being a grown up. Other than that, I'm an opera singer that loves everything from Three6Mafia to Kurt Elling. My PSP and me are inseperable and Urban Rebounding is my new drug of choice. ;)

Surprise!

Life would be so boring without the mind numbing surprises that come your way from time to time. My most recent surprise left me in varying states of rage, embarrassment, self doubt, and utter confus...

Leaving 1411

Two major changes

So, I've come to the conclusion that natural hair is something I'll be able to sport when I have a stylist that can take care of it for me. Man, this hair of mine is thick and curly. Those curls were ...

It's a given that everyone can't say all that they want to

Imus' cancellation from simulcast is proof that although we have the right to say whatever we want, we will not always be tolerated in that right. Call it censorship, but really I believe it to be an ...

How noble

But he's still a dick. I don't really give a fuck if he's apologizing or meeting with the team or not 'cause it's late and seems to be a because-I-have-to kind of thing. Mind you, his suspension doesn...

Git 'em

I agree that letters and emails need to be sent and phone calls need to be made. Picket signs need to be pumped. Let Tavis Smiley or Tyra Banks say something racially motivated about some white folks....

My bad

So I'm talkin' on the phone with my cousin and he is giving me suggestions on a situation that I'm in. Clearly he is not telling me what I want to hear or supporting what I had already decided to do, ...

Chantay was right.

So yesterday on the way home from AGP, Matt and I were headin' towards the Concourse to take our subways home. It's drizzling and as we reach the opposite corner, a man knocks me in my head with his e...
