Tonight I surprised my baby with tickets to see Jill Scott in concert. I’ve been planning this since January and couldn’t wait for the nostalgia of the remake of our first date. October 10, 2000, I got tickets for he and I to see Jill Scott open for Common (how long ago was that?) at … Read More

Visuals… moving ones!! A little video edit a la Dave Chapelle circa Rick James true story. (I had to do it… it was entirely too funny) Forgive the explicitness and cussing. According to Kdot I was “four sheets to the wind” (meaning I had had one glass of wine too many). It was feeling right … Read More
