“What does one wear to such a solemn occasion as this?” I asked myself as I searched through my closet.
I missed one of my mother’s doctor appointments because I was in Philly, so I had to make sure that I would make it to this one. I didn’t want to wear white, because it seemed too clinical. And I don’t care what anyone says, white is not slimming…even if you squint! Black, seemed so sad and pessimistic. I could go with yellow or gold, but it just seemed way …

Dear So and So,

I am going to call you out.

I have had many a things done to me as a youth and over time…
I know why the caged bird sings.
And I am glad that in this case the caged bird sang.

‘Til this day, I can’t even bring myself to see the movie “Precious”.
To think that something as …

I am still worried about my mother.
Last night I awoke in a state of dysentery and sweat! And there was no man around! I found myself wrapped up in my bed sheets like a taco from a Chipotle restaurant!!
Suppose I lose her, Possums. I know, I know, but I was always taught to fear the worst and expect it too!
Maybe, I am selfish, but who would I have to talk about?
Who would get me so mad, on purpose, in order to push me to the heights of glory that only …

She was going to be the 2nd person I thanked if I were to ever receive an Oscar for Best Song.
If ever.
She was going to be the 2nd person I thanked if I were to ever win a Grammy for Best New Artist.
If ever.
She was going to be the 2nd person I thanked if I were to ever win a Juno for Best Jazz Artist.
If ever.
She was going to be the 2nd person I thanked if I were to ever win an Emmy for Best Guest Starring Role…for Mad Men. …

So, Possums, the gift went off without a hitch! I ended up getting him an Old Navy sweater. I debated between three colours-cream, navy and burgundy. I chose the burgundy.  Honey, if it came in hot pink, I would have chosen that instead, just to shake up his wardrobe.
He seemed happy when he opened it, and I know that he will put it to good use, being who he is. He may be all fisherman and nature warrior, but deep down inside, he is a label whore! He likes to …

My father’s birthday is next week, what to do, what to do.
He is a simple man, my father is. He is a full red-blooded male. He loves to go fishing. He loves to watch his wrestling and his nature shows. He loves to go out and sit on his back porch and go bird watching.
I remember one time I made him a gorgeous (my word) bird house. I was in the 7th grade and I was taking Shop. I decided why not make full use of my time and make …

From Lucresia’s hospital bed as dictated to Ava Linton-Byron:
I just received a blow job.
No seriously!
I got a blow by blow play of the season finale of Mad Men. 
Thank Christ for Ava!
They have T.V’s in here, but they ain’t got no AMC. I forgot all about the show, when someone reminded me.
I am having convulsions. At least I have my old Vanity Fair pictorial to keep me going until I get home.
There’s one thing though that I am going through while I am in here. I am not one to …
