I really don’t know what to say anymore. About anything. To anyone. There is a constant tapping going on inside my head. Reminding me that the drums are not dead. The more chanting we do the less action is taken. Has no one the answer for a life of such contradiction?

When I first heard that I’d be interviewing, Issa Rae the creator and star of “The Mis-Adventures of Awkward Black Girl”, I went from instant joy to sudden sadness. Happy dance subsides. Cue the melancholy that is Coltrane now playing in the background. Suddenly my middle brain was hitting me with all sorts of questions.…

Public transportation sucks in most cities. L.A. is no exception. Unlike NY, Chicago or anywhere else where the trains and buses run frequently and somewhat on time, the city of lost angels has yet to catch up. The new transit system runs nowhere. And I mean nowhere. Unless you’re a tourist in Hollywood

“It never rains in southern California…” Sure it does. There should be a song that says, “It never summers, springs, winters or falls in southern California…” I’m so serious. There are definitely some advantages to living in Los Angeles.
