I wanted to roll a copy of yesterday’s paper up into a tight newsprint boomerang and whip it at the head of Adam Giambrone, Kristen Lucas and maybe Sarah McQuarrie (I haven’t decided yet, but if she were around she’d get it just cause). Who are these targeted victims of the Goddesses’ wrath you ask?
Exhibit A: Giambrone is one of Toronto’s 2010 Mayoral candidates,
Exhibit B: McQuarrie is Giambrone’s long time partner (ride or die woman)
Exhibit C: Kristen Lucas Giambrone’s 20 year old fresh outta sweet valley high on the side …

I’m up a little too early on a Sunday but that’s all good, I’m excited! I’m single on a day that celebrates love and togetherness, but coincidentally I’m also single on Chinese New Years which according to tradition is a good thing, because single folks do not have to give out red envelopes with money- MO MONEY MO MONEY MO MONEY. Side note: I am part Chinese, I don’t just play one on TV. Thanks.
Ok so I’ve been M.I.A this week, well that’s because I’ve been living in my cubicle …

Goals & Remaining focused
Hey y’all I just thought I’d drop in and make sure everyone is doing ok. Are we living up to those New Years resolutions? Did we make any? I have to give a shout out to Ms.Grant who made me write down three new years resolutions and post them on my refrigerator prior to the New Year. Since then I’ve been relentlessly working towards making them happen. Who knew that having the visual of my goals meshed into my daily routine would play a big part in …

Hi again, so lots going on in this world today boy! I woke up this morning to the news which has turned into nothing more than a listing of natural disasters and a bunch of lies from the government for me. I usually never tune into the news unless I need to know the weather, but as a blogger, writer and high-heel wearing superhero it’s important for me to keep up to date with current events. News recently broke that former Miss Argentina and supermodel Solange Magnano died from complications …

Admin Note: This year has been paramount for Domestic Violence. With the recent incident surrounding Tiger Woods and wife Erin Nordegren(she kept her name? gangsta!) I just thought I’d break out my Negradamous prediction from May on SH Collective blog, where I officially declared 2009, the year of Domestic Violence. I mean I don’t think this is something to brag about, its embarassing really. I’ve shared my own story of relationship violence, and through the posts Ive learned a lot about our attitudes towards the different genders when it comes …

Hey y’all I’m so wore out!!! I just got back from my extra long- travel disaster- but -hectic goodness of a weekend. Because my travel was so, ummmm… “Unpredictable” I got in late and was unmotivated to the point where I almost missed a chance to get up close and personal with Vudz hair products. Nevertheless I uncoiled myself from a slumberous disposition and headed out to Chiggy’s Touch Salon in Yorkville downtown Toronto, for an evening of cocktails and conversation with Toronto’s hair elite presented in part by Thierry …

I was googling my name the other day ( something I encourage everyone to do) and came across a blog post about a letter I had written to Metro News back in 2006. There had been a major drug raid in the city and several arrests were made in lower income areas but a significant number of arrests were made in new sub divisions, outside of the city. The cover page was a black man in cuffs in the Jamestown area of the city, one of the lower income neighborhoods. …

Remember the movie Cool Runnings? Remember how authentic those accents were? I love when American actors portray Caribbean people, it gives me flu symptoms. Regular. Flu. Symptoms. I also love how a group of creative young minds at The University of Toronto decided to pay homage this Halloween to one of their favorite childhood films, Cool Runnings by attending a party dressed as characters from the film. Their costumes were so fly, they walked away with a Costume of the night award. But the Black Student Association at U of …

Last night I along with over 90,000 others had the opportunity to join Bill Cosby at a virtual town hall as he presented the Cosnararti Band and declared a “State of Emergency” his version of socially conscious hip-hop. Now don’t get it twisted Cosby did not spit jello pudding pop bars, he did not break out in the stanky leg, nor did he wear one of his sweaters (:( ). In fact he was reppin as P.Diddy for the night, in a “Hello Friend” grey hoodie (need to cop one …

Admin Note: Yes I will occasionally invade your inbox on the weekend because I can! Last week I had the opportunity to chop it up with Mr. Mason Jamal of the Mason Says blog who calls Cincinnati home. A first in his series of conversational style posts with various bloggers, writers and friends, I’m so pleased that he asked the Goddess to help set it off. We discuss everything from Strip clubs, the Blogging While Brown Conference(where we met this summer), marriage all the way down to the new Health care …
