The ties that bind us
I know there’s a fair amount of “Oh, a celebrity died, everyone post about on facebook and be sad for the moment you find out and then move on” in our lives; I was sad to hear about Amy Winehouse, but I didn’t necessarily feel any sense of personal loss.
Hearing about Whitney Houston, honestly hurts my heart. Her voice, her songs were soundtracks to a great deal of my...

Is this a problem?
I get enough and forward enough emails from the Red Lobster coupon club, that my gmail has marked “Red” as an important sender.
Red. Red Lobster. I always knew we had a deep connection. It probably began after my first Lobsterita.

Exploring the Problematic and Subversive Shit... →
An interesting write-up on the Shit People Say meme.
“The reason why relationships between white and non-white people, or straight people and gay people are fraught, is because of our history – long gone, recent or ongoing.

Taylor, I totally love this show. I watched Seasons 1 and 2 on Netflix in maybe a week and a half. Annnnnnnnd Season 3, while seeming a little slower (probably because I have to wait a week for each episode), has been pretty good so far.

“Poetry has a vital place in society, whether it’s granted one or not. It exists; it is something people perversely do. Whether it gets formal acknowledgment or is provided an established role is really not the ultimate point. There’s a lot of energy and money spent on trying to make a place for poetry in society; I’m all for it, and I work on this myself in various ways. But I...

Baby Daddys' Songs: →
Beyoncé Knowles gave birth to baby girl Blue Ivy Carter on Saturday, and just two days later Jay-Z has already posted a new song to celebrate her arrival. Jay’s song, “Glory,” finds the rapper at his most exuberant: He’s audibly emotional as he gives thanks for the safe childbirth—especially welcome, apparently, after a miscarriage described in the lyrics. He even finds room for an apparent guest...
