Hair matters

When I was younger I NEVER EVER wanted to chop my tresses!!!! For the most part I've always had thick and healthy hair. There was one point during my sophomore year of college where my hair was over-processed and falling out! I thought my life was OVER!! I couldn't believe that this was happening to my hair. But something happened to me during my latter years of college....I realized it was JUST HAIR! And since then I have been chopping away and trying new things!

Nerds Rule!!

You may not know this about me but I'm a NERD!!! Certified Grade A Nerd!!! I love books (cried when Borders closed), play the cello, paint, like museums, wear big glasses, love colorful Keds, did well in school you know the usual!!! So, when I discovered Donald Glover aka Childish Gambino I felt that my prayers had been answered!! A nerdy rapper!!! Granted Glover isn't rapping about having straight As in school but he does hit on a lot of issues that I can relate to. His album Camp is everything and has gotten me through many a tough workout!! Granted, I'm "late to the game" because I wasn't hip to him when he just dishing out mixtapes but still though!! Now, I'm in love!! Check him out when you get the chance!!

Madea's Big Fat Stereotypical not so funny predictable blah blah blah

Before I hear it let me just state that I AM NOT A HATER! I have nothing against Tyler Perry personally. He has done nothing to me and for all I know he could be one of the nicest people to ever grace this planet. I do know one thing though...I am not a fan of his movies! Yeah, I said it! I'm not a fan. How is this so? He gives black people a voice!  He puts black actors in his movies!  He's one of the highest paid men in film!  Perry is the true definition of the American Story. He pulled himself from the bottom and is now resting at the top!!  How could you not be a fan of such a great story?? Well, let me explain. In no way am I trying to undermine Perry's triumphant story. He came from the bottom achieved greatness. That is commendable in its own right, I'm not trying to take anything away from that. And from what I gather he partakes in philanthropy giving money to some worthy causes. That's wondiferous!! With ALL of that being said I still don...
