  • Nintendo 3DS

    I got a Nintendo 3DS and I have to say I’m impressed. I was a little skeptical but well done hope they keep it up and not let PlayStation and Xbox walk all over the system like they did with the Wii. I’m not technical and I have plenty of room to grow as a…

  • …Really?

    Why is there are Top 25 Most Influential Black Fiction Writers on Twitter list? Can you image the backlash if someone came up with the Top 25 Most Influential White Fiction Writers on Twitter? I am trying to understand but why in the world do people put so much emphasis on skin color. Maybe, by…

  • Enjoy- No Vacancy

    His nerves-itched- not like a feral rash but just as consuming.  His shoes had a distinct beat. The sound made his subordinates cringe like an injured squirrel caught between a wall and an angry dog. Those shoes, his feet were unmovable, powerful and precise. The shine and the untarnished surface were eyes into who and…

  • Adventures to be had

    I could continue with Europe and Italy but going in order is no fun so we’re leaving Italy for awhile and venturing closer to home. Hilton Head Island in South Carolina is a splendid place to get away from the noise. If you want to relax on a nice quiet beach or take a stroll…

  • To be Afraid

    “There was an iciness, a sinking, a sickening of the heart- an unredeemed dreariness of thought which no goading of the imagination could torture into aught of the sublime.” Poe- The Fall of the House of Usher I was reading reviews on Goodreads for Tananarive Due’s The Good House and Brandon Massey’s  Dark Corner. People…

  • Harry Potter

    I’m a huge Harry Potter fan. I’ve read all the books several times and seen and own all the movies. I’ve had problems with the movies and could go on and on about what they left out and how they change the characters (if we didn’t like the way the characters were written in the…

  • Possessed

       Robert Frost: The Road Not Taken Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth. Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps…

  • Enjoy-One Day

    The office, this gray asylum Peace Caterin chose to be a part of, was an abomination. She watched and despised the normals who worked here day after day, year after year, never shooting for anything greater-accepting this hollow eyed world and rejecting those who didn’t. She’d been here three years and everyday was a fight…

  • The Section

    I’ve always had a love-hate relationship with the African American Literature section at the bookstore. On the one hand, I can see how beneficial it is but on the other, I see it as a way to hide books. How often do people who aren’t black browse that section?  Most of the books there could…

  • 3DS

    I would not call myself a hardcore gamer. I don’t do the whole duel screen thing and the only system I own is a DS but I do love playing video games and can spend hours in front of a computer or a gaming console which is why I try to avoid them.   I…
