Tape Runs Out
I mourn the loss of the audio cassette. I used to spend hours recording things onto cassette. I remember when my brother and I used to use a tape recorder to make silly commercials and pretend that we were talk radio hosts. It was a lot of fun. I then became interested in DJing and…

Don’t Have the Time
I wish I had some more time to explore the blogosphere but I really have a lot of work to do today. The first thing I do when I sign on to the computer at the library is go to my blog. I update the comments, if any, and then go on to read my…

Too Too Hot!
This heat wave is crushing me. Normally I don’t complain about the weather. After all, there is nothing that we can really do about it. But this hot, sticky, humid, hazy weather we have been having all week needs to go away. I can’t stand this! It is hard to do anything when it is…

All is Well
When I was filling out the admission form at the hospital I noticed that my surgery was called “umbilical hernia repair.” I thought it strange that we “repair” human beings. It was the first time I have ever heard that word used outside of machinery talk. But I laughed it off. The surgery was a…

Not too scary, so I’ve been told.
Tomorrow morning I have to go to the hospital for a minor day surgery. Apparently, it is a common surgery where I am basically in and out. Nothing to worry about, so they say. I am not fearful of hospitals per se. The procedure doesn’t really frighten me but for some reason I am a…

I keep an outdated email address that I use whenever I need to sign up for anything on the Internet. I personally don’t use that email account for sending or receiving messages. I only use it to confirm my address for certain websites that require such a thing. I have posted my email on my…

Blog Friends
How do you thank a friend for all that they do? I know that showing appreciation for regularly daily acts is something that is often overlooked. I want to make sure that I don’t make that mistake, again. I have been blogging just a few short months but I have been fortunate enough to become…

Autograph from a Hip Hop Legend
This is a picture of the album cover I got signed on the weekend. I got signatures from some legends in hip hop; Masta Ace, Wordsworth, and Punchline. These three emcees have joined forces with Stricklin to form the supergroup EMC. They performed Friday Night at The Opera House in Toronto. I tell you, it…

Internet Privacy
I don’t think that there is any privacy on the Internet. The Internet is too big of a community that is not sufficiently policed. Anyone can get online and access all sorts of information that I would normally have considered private. For instance, I googled an old acquaintance and found a newsletter from her company…
