Common Sense of It All!

Y’all I am about to be so real in this piece because I watched Seasons 1 and 2 of The Tudors!  If I had no angry issues before watching the two seasons this show gave me additional issues that I did not need. Caused me to roll my neck, cut my eyes at the characters and finished 4 bottles of wine. Plus, I had to hide the baseball bat that I was saving for #NetflixSaveDracula movement. Because I was ready to go to town on this show! Let me first give an applause for the well-done performances in causing me to want to town on y’all ass. Well-done and outstanding job to the writers!  After watching the first 2 seasons I did not think that I could have watched this showed while it was being aired on ShowTime while I was pursuing my bachelor.  I would have failed some of my classes trying to figure out what the hell happen? The first 2 season left me with a few questions and a whole lot of drama that would make me kill King Henry VIII (played by my friend Johnathan Rhys Me...

I don’t know if I had told any of you that I have a thing for watching time pieces that are done during certain time in our history whether they are done in movies or as television shows. And what I mean by that is shows like The Tudors and movies like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Pride & Prejudice . I am in love with the cinematography of how a certain era can become a beauty piece of art. So, the movie that I am about to talk about, The Children of Huang Shi . It is starring my favorite boyfriend, Johnathan Rhys Meyers; the man that I will put JRM on the shelf for Chow Yun Fat; my sister who can put a woopin’ on anybody including Chow Yun Fat and Donnie Yen, Michelle Yeoh, and a new comer to me Radha Mitchell. This movie is center during the Second Sino-Japanese War which from 1937-1945, however, the story take place towards the end of the war. So, allow me to take this movie apart, and let’s start with the war itself. I had known about the Japan invading Chi...

As a consumer, we like to receive exactly what it is we paid for, right?  Especially when it comes to having subscriptions to magazines or online media that are paid for either in advance for a year or whatever time that we choose to purchase.  And when our subscription goes wrong, you know that you take on a whole other attitude, right? So here is my example of my attitude one beautiful day: Okay, okay. . .so if you don't know, I am a huge Korean soap opera watcher!! I pay for a monthly membership on DramaFever. To watch it by either by my Kindle fire, desktop, laptop and/or tablet. I have got to have it more than me having to buy shoes. (Side bar: I am simply not a shopper that! When I see it then I will buy it!) So, one day I came home from work and while I am settling down, of course, I do what most of us do, turn the news to see what happen today and what the weather will be like the next day.  Follow by Access Hollywood and depending on what day of the ...

Here is another one of Glenna and I adventures. When Glenna and I were getting to know each other, I knew that she lived in an area call Maltepe. To be actual she lived on Methap Sok., Mercan #7  Apt. 4, Adatepe.   It was quite some ways from me being 45 minutes by a mini-bus (I live those things).  I had often visited her at her at her apartment as she had often visited our apartment, especially for coffee. In Glenna's apartment, she had a lot of nice big real wood furniture that I would have loved to own and I am still mad to this day that we were not able to remove majority them away from Edward. While she was there in their apartment, Glenna by herself was trying to move those pieces around because of how big furniture was they were not moving for her. (Glenna is a tiny woman, I tell you.) She said she had been asking Edward to get some help in moving some of the furniture down stair into the storage assigned storage unit.  But talking to Edward was like ta...

Now I have a next door neighbor who since moving to Dallas has shown interest in me. Not a bad looking man.  He is hard working man and I hardly get to see because he take pleasure in working more than 40 hours a week. However, as he has express his interest in me over and over, and I am thinking that he has no ideal what kind of trouble he is asking for.  And I am really working hard to involved any trouble with my neighbor. But one day I get this text started off like this: Me: Good morning, calling to make sure that you sleeping good, okay? NDN: Think omg about your mouth want something to put? (I know that some you got the message here, right?) Me: Is that English? NDN: I've been dringing. (No lie, that is how he spelled it.) Me: Is that what I am to you, your toy when you need it? NDN: No Me: Okay then, good afternoon. For it to be 78 degrees, it is hot as hell! NDN: You coming over or what? (I am so NOT horny for this man!!) Me: No (Let me not even ...

Lately I am have doing a lot of thinking about school and the same does for work. It was a friend who thru a serious of her ignoring questions that I had to put somethings into perceptive regarding the two. Now I got a few hobbies that I really enjoy doing with my friends.  There is going to different restaurants to eat especially to Copper Hawks. Going to that favorite Mexican restaurant for a good margarita and a plate of nachos with the works including a side of sour cream and guacamole. Going to the movies with their children, going shoes shopping, and weighting in on the pros and cons of what is going on in our lives.  Reading mystery books, learning about and doing my social media, writing some pieces for my blog, and watching Korean soap operas are my hobbies that I like to do by myself. But my passion is learning about and improving my Administrative skills for work, and I will discuss that a little later. Now as I was thinking about school, it has not occur to m...

Around the end of February, I go seriously sick with a server respiratory infection and an acute sinus infection. While I was dropping off my prescription from the doctor and waiting for it to be filled at Walmart, I thought I do a little shopping.  Lately, I have been wanting some Turkish lentil soup so I went ahead and purchased the ingredients and a small crock pot. Which I did not get around to using because it is 2 quarts. So I need to find recipes for 2 quarts crock pots. The ingredients being: 1 lb. of green lentils, pre-soak the beans or else the beans will take forever to cook 1 red onion, diced ½ lb. of minced lamb, though this can be optional to not use or you can use ground beef if you cannot find mince lamb 4 tablespoons of butter 1 tablespoon of minced garlic 1 beef bouillon cubes Salt and pepper for taste 4 cups of water In a 4 quarts’ pot over a medium fire, take 1 tablespoon of butter to sauté  and stir the diced red onio...

I have been asking myself this question since Thanksgiving because of my dear Auntie Do.  And probably after she reads this piece, I most likely with have her foot in my butt. (Sidebar: I need some unplugging anyway!) So here is the question: What does street smart means to you? For most of us street smart is about living on the streets and knowing how to survive the streets. It does not necessary means that you went out and learn how to be a pimp or a hooker or even learn how to sell drugs. It is all about the survival of all. The definition of street smart is the experience and knowledge necessary to deal with the potential difficulties or dangers of life in an urban environment. For those of you found this definition a little hard to understand, then understand this one: having shrewd awareness of how to survive or succeed in any situation especially as a result of living or working in a difficult environment, such as living in the city ghetto neighborhood...

I really need to do that this year, because this...
