Well I am coming off the most spiritually intense weekend I’ve had in a while. I have been selected to be present when my cousin Dena gives birth to her first child, and as a member of the birthing team, I attended Hypnobirthing classes with the couple this weekend. Cool stuff. First I gotta confess […]

Man, there just aren’t enough hours in the day… Demands on my time have been high, and I haven’t had enough left over to put in quality work editing. I’ve hit the halfway mark on the editing project, but I’m still not done. However, the shipment of this manuscript cannot be postponed much longer before […]

For those that don’t know, my day job is Program Manager of the Center for Cultural Studies at UCSC. Today we hosted our major winter conference Reflections on Katrina: Place, Persistence and the Lives of Cities. I wasn’t required to be “on duty” today, but because the topic interests me, I headed over there bright […]

I’ve decided I’m going to start a Thursday blog tradition of LOST venting, lol.*****LOST SPOILER ALERT***** “Who are we, to tell anyone what they can or can’t do.”–Locke Well, that was one testosterone-fest of an episode, a good ole-fashioned alpha-male showdown. Everyone waving their dicks, er, I mean, guns around, pissing lines in the sand, […]

Nothing terribly deep today… I’ve been fighting off a cold all week, and everyone knows how difficult it is to be positive and productive when you’re not feeling well. I’m an EmergenC junkie, so I tend to keep my immune system boosted and don’t get sick very often, thankfully. But the bug got me this […]

Well, I had a productive weekend regarding the book. Did a lot of thinking about the book dilemma and talking about the book dilemma and what do you know – I actually know what I want to do now. Sweet. I’ve decided that I’m definitely going to self-publish my first book. After doing a little […]

Well I made it LA safely… And am having a freakin’ blast. Last night we went to this country club called Montana’s… Now I’m not talking country club as in lifestyles of the rich and famous, but country club as in wranglers, stetsons and COWBOYS Baby!!! And we partied like it was our last Yee […]

Exciting weekend ahead… Not only do I get to go down and celebrate my birthday all over again with my SoCal friends, but I’ve also got a little business meeting lined up 🙂 I’m gonna hook up with Authorpreneur Edwardo Jackson for a power lunch to talk business. Edwardo is my first official author friend […]

Okay, so the manuscript probably won’t go out this week, lol. I’m making good progress on the latest revision, but I’m not trying to rush when something is this important. So I’ve released myself from the Thursday deadline, but if I continue on pace, I should be ready to ship by next Wednesday. One more […]

So I was cruising around myspace one day and found the link to the coolest site. It’s basically a one-stop location for a variety of news articles of interest to People of Color. I’m not big on the news myself, as I find the mainstream news media to be hopelessly biased and/or disturbingly sensationalist, so […]
