Music from my happiness files. I can listen to this over & over & over because it reminds me of breakfast in bed on a lazy Sunday. Those kind of days make me feel good, warm, loved & special!
Last week while in NYC not really enjoying Fashion’s Night Out, I stumbled upon a party tent hosted by Revlon in the meat packing district. The party was quite lively with women getting makeovers, dancing in the streets & picture taking. By the time I got into the tent, a lot of older passersby came […]
I hate when people start off a story with “see, what had happened was.” It automatically tells me that their story is going to be total bullshit but I so have to start this story off with “see, what had happened was.” See, what had happened was, my girl Butta was in town visiting from […]
Remember back in the 80 & 90s when videos were hot because they were just hot, not because they were blinged out. I think I’m way too old to look at videos now but I love me some videos from back in my young days.

It’s officially summertime & no song gets me more excited about summer than Doug E Fresh’s “Summertime.” “Summertime” was released back in 1989 & I recall Detroit radio station 107.5 WGPR being the only station playing the hell out of this song. 1989 was also the year that I got my 1st job & entered […]
