Highlights
Here we are 3 days removed from the day the entire world celebrates love. But lets be honest, it is also a day that singles get ostracized, and sometimes not on purpose. Statistics still show a heightened percentage of depression around this time of the year. What makes it even worst, is that we live (even more so today) in a social media centered world. Singles may feel forced to have to validate why they are single, why they aren't sad that they are not getting surprised gifts of candy, teddy Read more [...]
Irreconcilable Differences
Guest Blogger: Jai Green
His Words: Lazy, just plain lazy. She would get finished eating and wait literally 4-5 hours to put up her plate. Who does that?! Washing, folding and putting up clothes took 4-5 days and don't get me started on dog care, and personal items. A bra here, a shoe there, nothing was ever in order. She wanted the dog, so I got her one. Did she clean it? No. All she ever did was feed it. She barely cleaned up after it. 1 whole year of being married and she couldn't adjust her Read more [...]

3 Reasons To See 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi
Michael Bay puts us on the front lines of war in his new film 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi.
This isn't Transformers or even Armeggedon, there is nothing Hollywood-ish about this true story that took place four years ago. When Hilary Clinton announced her run for the democratic nomination, Benghazi was on the tip of everyone's tongue. What wasn't on their tongue was the six soldiers that saved Americans when America didn't even come to their rescue. If you are reading this article to Read more [...]
The Ultimate Blueprint Tour with Vivica Fox, Wendy Raquel, Towanda Braxton & more!
Out with the old in with new! The new year is loved not because of the fireworks, the overload of alcohol, or the free kisses at midnight. No, the new year is loved because of the fresh start it gives everyone. Although many strive to be a better person each day, its something about January first that says clean slate. On social media I saw a flood of status updates, tweets, and memes, that said the same thing: "Today is the first page of your 365 page book." People began their career journeys, Read more [...]

Save The Humans
By Guest Blogger: Jai Green
Have you ever wondered what your purpose is in life? Not humans as a whole, but your individual purpose? I think about the person I am, my heart and how big it is, my ability to yield, my love for the human race, and I drop my head in tears. In high school, as a freshman, while everyone was screaming save the Whales, I had a folder that had "save the humans" centered on it. I have always felt this way. Humans are the most intricate animate objects on earth, and good Read more [...]
Poetry on a Gloomy Saturday
Edgar Allan Poe has always been my favorite poet & one of my favorite writers. His darkness mirrored my own, his pain danced with my emotions. The way he loved held conversations with my heart. His work embodied all four literary conflicts, and sometimes all four were found in one piece: Man VS. Man, Man VS. Society, Man VS. Nature, and of course Man VS. Self.
I hadn't written poetry in a while. Today my chest felt like it was going to explode if I didn't release some of these thoughts. So Read more [...]
Messy Girl Chronicles: Jackie Wright
Guest Blog: Jai Green
My name is Jackie Wright and I am a mess. My family is a good old middle class American family. Thousand-Aires is what I like to call us. We are far from rich, but we also have been fortunate enough not to want for anything. Daughter to old school parents, baby of 3 children (two older boys), and the only girl. It was like I was born to be the family stone. If there is a such thing as reverse bullyism, I think I experienced that. "Just Wright", "Always Wright", are names Read more [...]
