This Is An Emergency

I discovered a new site yesterday. It's called Emergency Compliment. The whole idea of it is when you are feeling crappy, just go there and read something happy. It tells you things like, "You're not crazy, they are 100% into you," and "All your friends worry they are not as funny as you." You get two options: if you're feeling better, you click on "Thanks! I feel better" and if you're not feeling better, then you click on "I still feel crappy," after which another feel-good message will Read More

I’ve Been Diagnosed With Somniloquy

For as long as I can remember, I have laughed in my sleep. I'm not talking about just smiling or chuckling; I'm talking about laughing out loud. I'm talking about laughing out so loud that I wake myself up, wondering where the sound is coming from. And then I realize that it is just my laughter. And whatever was making me laugh in my dream is no longer funny when I wake up. When I used to sleep in the same room with my mom, she'd jolt me awake in the middle of my sleep-laughter. Now that Read More

I Like Him … But I Don’t Understand Him

I'm all for people being fit and showing it off and what not .. of course ... it's great. But there are certain people that you just don't expect to see not fully clothed, especially after they have gone through certain  phases. Like him, for example. Happy birthday to Wyclef, but a little more clothes and a little less oil would have really sufficed. It isn't that he's 43 that is making me look at this picture in amazement. And it isn't that he's scantily clad and glowing that is Read More

Tonto, But Why?

Remember when I put up that post about Tonto cursing her fans (or foes) out on twitter because they dared to judge her songs before hearing them? Well, breaking news: they were right! And I am somewhat surprised because the way she cursed people out, I began to wonder if maybe she can actually sing. The temerity! (Spoken like a true Nigerian girl). Tonto has released two things which she's referring to as songs. Listening to these songs is not for the faint-hearted. It takes real courage. Real Read More

This Is What Happens When You’re Oprah

Oprah put this picture up on Friday, and four hours later, people told her exactly how they felt about it.   While I think that the upload may have been an error, it is still imperative to point out that with no description whatsoever on this black square box, Oprah got 6011 likes and 426 comments. What are you people liking and commenting on? You ain't never seen a black square box before? If you're wondering why www.verastic.com is inscribed on the bottom of the picture, it's Read More
