Children are the Future


Children see the entire world in a different way than adults. The innocence of discovery is something we all enjoyed. I often wonder, had people not interjected certain ideas into my mind at certain times, where would my childlike mind had lead me? So here's to nostalgia, to innocence, and the people that will become our future.


An Apple A Day


Living a healthy life is important, and many people take their concerns with eating right or losing weight to unhealthy extremes. This month, I'll be talking about eating habits, sharing some of my favorite recipes, and focusing on healthy choices.

Legends of Africa


One thing I've noticed during my years attending predominately white schools and having circles of friends that are more diverse, is that the major factor in racism and prejudice is ignorance. There is a lot about black culture that many non-blacks just don't know. Often this lack of awareness rears its head in the form of ignorant assumptions and awkward questions. The Legends of Africa series touches on topics that may be extremely familiar to blacks, but may not be familiar to non-blacks.

Religion & Theology


I've always been interested in Religion & Theology. As I child, I questioned everything. I wanted to know why this denomination was different from that denomination. I wanted to know how Christianity differed from Islam, and how they differed from Buddhism, etc. I found that as I studied with the faith of a believer and the open mind of scientist, the world of religion started to make more sense and I was able to form beliefs that I don't question. April 2015 is dedicated to my journey to those beliefs.

Every time I go to the dentist I have the craziest thoughts; I wish I could live tweet them (and I don't even tweet like that!). Today, I tried to memorize them and after the visit I jotted them on my phone to share.

In the Lobby

  1. Ok, I can do this!
  2. (Every time they call someone else's name as I wait)I don't know if I'm annoyed or happy they haven't called my name yet.
  3. (When they finally call my name)Oh that's me...
  4. This is going to go better than last time!
  5. In the Seat

  6. Yes, I want my gums numb.
  7. Are you sure you numbed my gums?
  8. No, this isn't better than last time.
  9. What happened to the numbing stuff?
  10. Have you ever told anyone their teeth were ok?
  11. Of course not, how would you afford to live if you did...
  12. Oh you want me to get my wisdom teeth out. How much is that?
  13. $4,000! Riiiiigggghhhht.
  14. It's just like college; I'm paying to have my self esteem decimated and be tortured.
  15. Actually, are you sure you went to dental school and not some government torture training facility?
  16. Am I dying?
  17. Maybe this is what they meant by don't go into the light, that's a bright light...
  18. Why are you asking me questions!?!
  19. You're ruining my near death experience.
  20. Oh she brought out the death tool.
  21. Can I die in peace please?
  22. Oh, I'm not dead...whew
  23. I survived!
  24. Checking Out

  25. Another appointment?
  26. Is 28 to young to have dentures?
  27. If I get fake teeth I don't have to come back, right?
  28. No, you still can't take my wisdom teeth out.
  29. I have to come back?
  30. Ok fine...
  31. 6 months until I have to do this again.
  32. *deep breath*
  33. (As I sign the receipt)Crap, I'm poor.
  34. (Looking in the rearview mirror of the car)My teeth look exactly the same...
