attitude adjustment

oh, hank, hank, hank…

i have to say that my problem with hank is very self-centered. i was first bothered by him when, at a mccain/palin rally he called the current president “barack hussein obama.” as my mom said when i told her, “that’s his name.” i replied, “yeah, but he meant it in a derogatory way.”

but let’s go way back.

real housewives of dc

this probably won’t be my last time writing about real housewives of dc, but i want to write right now.

i went to college at howard university (same as stacie turner), lived in washington dc for about four and a half years, and my experiences in dc were nothing like the rhodc women.

that said, i can’t help but watch every episode of this boring show and every time i do, i want to jet over to dc. man, i thought i missed it but now, i miss it even more.

suicide

here we go.

when i told my mom about my three-piece psychology today feature on depression and suicide and mentioned that i’d written that i never tried to commit suicide, she said, “you told me you’d tried to commit suicide.” did i? i don’t know. i don’t think i did, but might i have said that? possibly.

you see, when i was about twelve or so, one day i was feeling particularly depressed. ( Read more )

God bless the broken road

i’m feeling pretty raw right now.  a couple days ago, i wrote a piece that’s now live on huffington post:

remembering jay on memorial day

today is memorial day and i just watched ‘the view’.   the last segment of today’s show featured 4troops, a group of veterans who formed a singing group.  they performed rascall flatt’s “bless the broken road”.

i don’t know when i first heard that song, but that was one of my jay songs.  so between writing my latest huffington post piece (which i hadn’t planned on doing) and then today being memorial day and then hearing veterans sing “bless the broken road”, i was feeling pretty overwhelmed with emotions.

all the best on memorial day.
