Reader Activity: Tell me His Story

I did a post awhile back, Legitimate Questions That I Have for Other Races, and one of our dear American commentors Dwayne wrote that he had long stopped trying to figure out why people do what they do. To that I thought why would anyone stop wondering! Empathy is the single most greatest human trait. [...]

I am truly devastated! He is the most influential pop star ever! Every one has a favorite Michael Jackson song, every singer wants to be him [...]

Goodbye to Our Friend Michael Jackson

 I remember at my aunt’s funeral how annoying I found it that everyone was trying to act like they were “so close” to her. So in this sad time, I will try my best not to act like I was the world’s biggest Michael lover or that his death is more of a blow to me than it [...]

Behind the blog…

Back in the day….

Happy Father’s Day!

 Pappy Boodram aka Compedre
Father’s Day is a tough time of year. For many people, it serves as a painful reminder for what never was but is supposed to be.
I realize that I am lucky enough to say it’s “supposed to be” just like my relationship with my dad. I am blessed with the best father in the world. My [...]

Think About it Mondays | Are you a Hater or a Congratulater?

My dad has always told me that it’s hardest to see the people we know succeed because it reminds us of our own short comings.  This especially holds true for people we grow up with who were at one time on the same level as us and now seemed to have excelled way beyond our understanding [...]

Add Your Own Caption

Photos are a large part of my life – storytelling is my passion - every photo tells a large story. Sometimes a picture is saying so many things it’s hard to hear just what it’s telling. This is where you come in handy… so who’s down for another round of ADD YOUR OWN CAPTION.
And for fun, here [...]
