So, after Robin Thicke, my friend made me drive. I never get practice, especially at night, so I am not complaining. This was only my second time driving at night. My standing question is “Why do the Suburbs not believe in street lights?!” It was so dark.

To help celebrate my friend Shayna’s birthday, I bought tickets to go see Robin Thicke at Chene Park in Detroit. This was my second time seeing Robin Thicke. The first time I saw him was when he opened for John Legend at the State Theater a couple of years ago. That concert also featured Consequence, who [...]

Yesterday, I went to see a free preview of Julie and Julia. Before I received the email invitation, I had never heard of the movie. I watched the preview, though, and it looked interesting enough. Besides, who am I to pass up a free movie.

Beyoncé was coming to the Palace of Auburn Hills, so my sister and I had decided to go to see Beyoncé. We bought tickets knowing that there would be the possibility that she would have to get radioiodine treatment that week and not be able to go, but we kept our outlook positive.

So, they are changing the name of Sears Tower to Willis Tower. You can read the related story here. I guess it is a good thing I took this picture a couple of years ago when I went to Chicago for an interview and made the rest of the week into a trip with my sister.

Today was my second lesson from Sears Driving School. This time, it was all driving on major streets. I tried to psych myself up before I went this time, and it may have worked. I felt a lot more comfortable driving today than I did yesterday.

So, before I had my driving lesson, I did what many others probably did today–I watched the Michael Jackson memorial. This is the first time that I have spoken about Michael Jackson since his untimely death. I have grieved at home alone, trying to make sense of it all and find my peace.

Apparently, at least for today, driving is terrifying for me. I had my first Sears Driving School lesson today.

Well, if you read this blog, then you may have noticed that there has been no progress since the first driving lesson since getting the permit. I refuse to let this permit, which is at least my third one, go to waste, so I am taking matters into my own hands. Finding someone to take [...]
