| Introduction | It is my hope that this blog will shed light on little known facts and fringe histories, stories, and personal narratives that can't be found in a textbook. This is really a melange of my opinions,ideas and feelings about topics I find interesting. As a writer, I always try to present the facts objectively but as my friends and classmates will tell you, my beliefs are about as subtle as a freight train. I say "Ya basta" at the end of my pieces because in Spanish it roughly translates to "enough already!" which is often how I feel about certain TV personalities, networks (cough cough FOX), and politicians that take us fifty years back in this delicate and promising Obama era. What can I say... It's always been my nature to speak the raw and uninvited truth on issues (past present and future) that others see yet are to afraid to speak on. I guess by being honest I've made myself the sacrificial lamb to conservatives and xenophobes alike. Enjoy :) |
| Interests | Meeting new people, going to new and exciting places, avoiding "group think" at all costs. Speaking my mind on black issues/life both personally and politically. I love reading, writing my feelings down (so that they can't control me) and here's the kicker....CHURCH!. Yes I am an ole' time church boy. My family is from a little town called Albany, Georgia so the Holy Ghost is kind of built into my DNA lol I kid! Some would describe me as an intellectual or a militant (even though I am not "militant" and repudiate that label and the people who use it). At the core of who I am is a person that loves Christ because he first loved me. He has kept me in perfect peace and... well I could go on and on about that so never mind! lol |
