Precious moments in the life of Urs…

More Welcome Than Intended

| January 19, 2011

Today, while I was at home brushing my teeth, I heard a noise outside my door. I could not figure out for the life of me what it was, so I went to look. Why did I see a woman standing outside my door moving around? I stepped back a second while I contemplated opening [...]

Happy Kwanzaa

| January 1, 2011

It is a common practice at the end of Kwanzaa to give gifts, but the gifts are commonly made instead of purchased. I have some very creative and talented sisters that can make some wonderful things from simple things. For years at Christmas and Kwanzaa, they have given us the cutest crocheted gifts. I wanted [...]

Take That Corvus

| December 17, 2010

As usual, I have an excuse for not posting as of late, and, as usual, it is not really a good excuse. I have not been slacking off on other important things. I am keeping up with work, still doing my bible study, and still generally being productive. I am even reading some books, including [...]

How Unsure Becomes Amazing

| November 21, 2010

There was something about my post about Matt this year that just did not sit well with me. I just could not put what I was feeling into words. Because of that, I kept thinking about Matt probably more than usual, and I already think about him a lot. My thoughts brought me back to [...]

Hold My Hand

| November 15, 2010

The first official single for the upcoming Michael Jackson album Michael is now available. The song is called “Hold My Hand” and features Akon. While I am definitely not a fan of Akon, and he completely overpowers this song, I still think that it is a good song. It sounds like something that Michael would [...]

This is Breaking News

| November 8, 2010

The musical moment that I have been waiting for is about to come. Nevertheless, if this is a sign of what is to come, then my excitement is quelled. There was so much talk about why Sony was taking so long to release new Michael Jackson material. The answer was that they wanted to do [...]

Between Friends

| October 13, 2010

I think that it is safe to call a person a friend when you spend practically all week literally side by side at work with a person and you still want to hang out with them on the weekend. I remember that Matt and I spent many, many a weekend together playing video games. It [...]

A Girl with Sensitivity

| October 6, 2010

I LOVE POPCORN! I do not mean the prepackaged microwave stuff. I buy kernels to pop in my Stir Crazy, my air popper, or in the microwave using a paper bag. I also mix my own seasonings. I usually eat popcorn at least two to three times per week. Nevertheless, today, I ate popcorn for [...]

Excuses, Excuses

| October 1, 2010

I have not been writing as much as I had planned this month. Part of the reason that I have not posted as much is because my main computer has been unavailable. I recently decided to upgrade my laptop to Leopard from Tiger. It took a few tries to get everything working correctly. I will [...]

Grown Up Raven

| September 22, 2010

I have never been a Wendy Williams fan, and there is not much substance to this interview. Still, we all know that I love Raven. Plus, Raven was so cute on this visit to the show. This is worth a watch for her fans.

The Quest for Dragon Quest

| September 14, 2010

I rarely trade-in or sell games. I do not know what it is. I just hold on to games even if I am not playing them. I still have my original Game Boy and and all of the games and accessories that I bought for it over the years (yes it still works), my Game [...]

Detroit Jazz Festival 2010

| September 6, 2010

I had not been to any festivals downtown Detroit at all this year. I wanted to go, but I just never got around to making any of them. I did not want to miss the Detroit Jazz Fest, though, especially since Branford Marsalis was going to be there. I try to catch him whenever he [...]

Happy Birthday, Macy

| September 6, 2010

While I was generally displeased with Arts, Beats, & Eats, there were a couple of things that made it worthwhile. My main reason for going was to get a chance to see Macy Gray. I was met with another treat, though, in the form of War.

Arts, Beats, and Broke

| September 5, 2010

I think that I can safely say that I will not be attending Arts, Beats, & Eats again. This event, touted as “outstanding family entertainment at a very low cost” on its own web site, was mostly a disappointment.

Spare

| September 4, 2010

Bowling is not something that I do often, nor is it something at which I perform well. When I was a kid, I had my own ball and shoes and everything. I was still never good at it, though. Nevertheless, I like to bowl from time to time.
