We Finally Broke Up
No, this isn’t a ploy to get you to read; this time. Ha! If you’ve been following my long-winded, son-of-a-preacherman blog posts (lol), you would know that my “girlfriend” and I have been on tumultuous terms since about April. My “girlfriend” in this instance is my car. When we were introduced, she only had 63…

…let me count the ways.
Over the past few days, I have had the pleasure of doing something that was really special. I spent time with my family for Thanksgiving. Doesn’t sound so remarkable, does it? It was very special because our family was able to travel to Atlanta and spend time at my older brother’s house. For my father,…

The Forbidden Seat (Saturday 6 February 2010)
I wrote this note after reading the vast reactions regarding one of my college friends being indicted. I still feel this way, even now. “The forbidden seat called “The Judgement Seat”. “So, I found out that a college friend of mine got arrested for having sex with a minor. It concerned me because I was…

Lead Your Thoughts
Man, things are really shaping up. My life is taking a turn with a humungous upswing. It’s not often that I get overly excited about things, but I’m certainly enjoying this ride. My personal goals are shaping up, I’m loving school like never before, and crooked roads are being straightened in my personal life (as…

I am Mr. Impatient
I know that you may think that you are the most impatient person that you know, but I am here to declare that I will defeat that feeble notion of yourself (if there’s such a thing). In my never-ending quest to better myself, I have discovered something. Due to a recent event I was exposed…

Love Out Loud (Part deaux)!
So, as I explained in Love Out Loud Pt. 1, my family came to visit. One of our excursions lead us to Georgetown. While walking, they decided to get lunch. The barbecue spot was a quaint, open-air restaurant. I arrived about 15 minutes after they were seated, because I was completing errands previously. When I…

Love Out Loud (Part 1)!
Greetings everyone! I am writing you from the basement -no, really. I’m tending to laundry. As I reflect on the occurrences of the past weekend, I have realized that I am blessed (yet again). My Momma and sisters came up to visit. Dad had a speaking engagement, and couldn’t come. They spent a couple of…

The Vision is Becoming Clearer
As I sit here in IHOP, listening to Stevie Wonder’s “Make sure you’re sure,” I am reminded that I have a bedtime. It took me all day to settle myself enough to write. It’s currently 21:52 and I’ll try to make this quick (yea, right). I do have school in the morning! In case you’re…

Now’s as good a time as any…
…to come clean, that is. A vast majority of my blog posts have focused on remaining positive, despite trials that surface along life’s journey. Let’s face it: I’m not always positive. I try to be, but sometimes, I’m not. I know, I know, you’re like majorly surprised, right? You don’t even know the half of…

Morning Jitters
Well, another school year begins tomorrow. Although this is my eighth teaching year, the first day of school jitters still get to me. I wonder about what I will wear (a bowtie, I think), what time should I arrive to school, and what should I expect. I can’t be the only one who feels this…
