Across Continents

As an interior design geek, I find nothing more beautiful than that of Moroccan architecture and style. I have literally obsessed over turning my humble abode into Marrakech, Brooklyn. The more I read about Morocco, the more obsessed I become. This has led to planning a trip to this awesome country. Nichelle is on board and planning is under way!

Make sure to check for updates on my progress. ::squeals::

Brain Food: Soccer's Lost Boys

I'm a documentary/ investigative reporting addict! Hulu.com feeds my addiction like a good pusher would. One of my fave shows now is Vanguard. They criss-cross the globe and find some truly awesome stories.

America is catching up to the rest of the world and engrossing itself in the awesomeness that is soccer, thanks to the 2010 World Cup. I'm super stoked that this year's games are being hosted in South Africa, but there is something looming over. This episode blew me away. Check it out!

All I See is Fireworks...

I haven't shared this with you guys, but I have an unhealthy love for Aubrey Graham. Like, to the point of having recurring nightly dreams about meeting him and going on dates to Dallas BBQ. I've got it baaaaad. I've literally been obsessed with him since around 2005,2006 when I got hooked on Degrassi.

His first official album dropped yesterday. ::squeals:: I will do a song by song review later, but there is one song on the album that shows exactly what I love Drake, the rapper, for....transparency. He has an honesty to his music that can leave you emotionally spent by the song's ending. That is exactly what this song does for me...FIREWORKS

Moment of Clarity

No guys, I promise this isn't turning into a music blog. I'm just swimming in great music right now and pressed to share. I've also been all over the place and haven't had much time to take hair pics, load them, write posts,etc. Wait....let me stop embellishing.

I am a busybody and hate being home. Granted, often times, I'm heading to a dinner after work or an event, but often I'm just roaming the streets of NYC til the wee hours. Of course, this leaves me extra tired and woh ahht. Today I promised myself that I will come straight home after work, do a load of clothes, and do some hair posts.

I also have a series of relationship posts for you guys. Its super personal and slightly emo, so indulge me.

:'-(

NEW NEW NEGROES

Watch this vid..look out for the blog post lataz.

My friend Corey and I went to the Black List exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum in March. They had a station to tape your reflections on the exhibit and what it means to be Black in America.

The exhibit was just profile pictures of Black celebrities representing music, literature, etc., but it was so powerful! There was also a corresponding documentary that aired on HBO. For more info, ch-check this out!
