Miss Representation

I just wanted to let you all know that Kayee and I went to see Miss Representation last week (previously mentioned in the Rachel Maddow Kicks Knowledge post)  – it was pretty darn fantastic. It was an abundance of food for thought, and I told Kayee afterward that it was so much that I couldn’t [...]

Your Man Reminder

A friend of mine sent this to me. I was so hilarious that I had to share – and yes, the app is real, and YES, I downloaded it. Whatever it takes to spread the word, fellas! I just wish the guys were a bit older – I find that age appropriate gentlemen are exponentially [...]

Rachel Maddow Kicks Knowledge

My co-worker shared with me the link to The 50 Best Moments for Women in 2011. It takes a bit of time to get through, especially if you watch all of the embedded videos, but I thought it was worth it, and worth sharing. It’s a fantastic and fairly well-rounded list, and exposed me to [...]

It’s part of a special series called 7 Billion, which is “a year-long population series, (to) offer a broad overview of [...]

Cancer, I Really Don’t Like You

Tonight there is a benefit for my friend Tij. She has cancer. Breast cancer. Next weekend there is a benefit for my friend. He has cancer. Leukemia. Cancer, you pretty much suck. You took my grandmother from me way too early, then you took my grandfather, too. You took Mir’s mom and Julie’s mom so [...]

Remember the Dream

An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity. – Martin Luther King, Jr.

Welcome to the World of Online Dating

This weekend I hosted a “Diving into Dating” party for a friend of mine. She had promised to create her online profile a few different times in 2011, so I figured I grab a couple other ladies and be her Dating Support Group (DSG) and help get her profile online. The rules were simple - we [...]
