My family has always been one where we hug and kiss each other before we part ways. We quite often do the same when we first meet up, as well. Over the years, I have started hugging non-family members more. It is always a comforting thought to think that the last thing that I did [...]

Eight years ago today, we lost a promising music star. I have to be honest. I did not like Aaliyah’s music when she first entered the music scene. It was not until she hooked up with Missy and Timbaland and One in a Million came out that I started buying her albums. After that, I [...]

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. Unfortunately, she [...]

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.

So, today, I drove at night for the first time in my life. The only other times that I have driven outside of my paid lessons this permit go round have been during the two times that my sister let me drive to the store. The store is only about a mile, mile and a [...]

Not too long after I arrived at my parents house to celebrate Father’s Day, my sister asked me to go downtown to River Days with her so that she could see Ginuwine. So, I said “sure.” I was not all that excited about seeing Ginuwine, but I did want to go to River Days.

Yesterday, my work group at the summer job received an email from our “boss” saying that today would be our last day and that they would buy us lunch at 12 (and then let us go). That is pretty much how the day played out. We worked, we ate, we left. I had mixed feelings [...]

So, I received my first driving lesson since getting my permit. Again, my younger sister came to my aid to try to show me some of the basics.

Today, my already driving, baby sister took me to the Secretary of State to that I could take the written driving test. This is at least my third, but possibly my fourth time taking the written test. I pass it every time, but I end up wasting the permit. I am never able to get [...]

This was my sister’s facebook post from around 7:00pm-11:00pm. I think that I have had the title of “geek” for quite some time now, so the night was nothing unusual for me. LOL We spent the evening enjoying the DSO play selections from Star Trek, Star Wars, and selected pieces from John Williams.

I love to see things going on in my city. I try to take participate in the happenings as much as possible, especially the free things! So, this week, it was Winter Blast.

I am ashamed to say that in all my 32 years on this earth, today was the first time that I had ever been to the Motown Historical Museum. I went with my mother and younger sister. You know how it is. People never play tourist in their own town…I was actually supposed to go [...]

So, my extended family had a celebratory event for an elderly relative of mine this weekend. They try to have something for him every year; however, this year, this person is pretty sickly, and the family is thinking that this may be the last one for him. So, my brother asked if I wanted to ride with him to [...]

I wanted to see Avenue Q, when I first heard about it on Broadway, but I never got around to getting to New York to see it. Actually, there was a trip to New York planned not too long ago. I had a plane ticket and everything, but I ended up having to go on a business [...]

I really do not like concerts. I hate the idea of paying to stand up. I figure I can just sit at home and listen to the polished music at no extra charge. Still, as you can see from my concert posts, I do attend a concert from time to time, especially when they are [...]
