Happy ‘Hump’ Day!

Hello darlings. Did you miss me? A chick is back from the MIA (Miami) and wishing I were still there, double fisted with a mojito in each hand *sighs*. Highlights of my mini-trip along w/ photo documentation [lot's of pics of me getting my Americas Next Plus Size Model 'on'] are forthcoming. I also have some photo opportunities lined up for this weekend - so next week will be a good time to stop by and get your fill of visuals. I’mma be updating the SDOTW, Music Snippets & RADIO.BLOG too, so check back soon. Aight?

I’m back on the daily grind my friends. For those of you who love your cubicle job as much as I do, I have found our theme song. No, for real - this is my ‘jam’. All you need to do is click here [*windows media player].

But many of them expressed their outrage too. And one interesting thing is that these European journalists were saying the images they were seeing looked like they were from a third world country, not the almighty United States of America. ” - Spike Lee

When . . .

I respect Spike Lee a great deal and I believe he can tell our stories like no other. I know when I watch this film it is going to be 4 hours emotional turmoil. I am angry and disgruntled, straight up. I keep telling myself I need to calm down . . . lately I’ve been overwhelming myself with the trouble of the world. Some of these troubles aren’t personally mine, but it still feels that way.
