I got tagged by Digable Poet ! This means I must answer the following questions and then tag someone else within the BLOG-O-SPHERE. I’m a club member!
FOUR JOBS I’VE HAD.
1) waitress
2) event planner
3) executive assistant
4) freelance journalist
FOUR MOVIES I CAN WATCH OVER AND OVER.
1) Cat On A Hot Tin Roof (MENDACITY!)
2) Mo Betta Blues
3) The Breakfast Club
4) Almost Famous
FOUR PLACES I’VE LIVED.
1) Detroit (in the place to be…the birth of this mind I have! Back when you could make out at the DIA when you had half days. Can you imagine kissing a boy in front of an authentic Henry Osawa Tanner painting? You ain’t never lived…there’s the other typical stuff us 313ers shout out: Belle Isle, 7 Mile (Em says 8 Mile but that’s for the East Siders), Greek Town, but we all have our own special memories. My father is there (god bless his soul) so my heart will always be there).
2) Harlem–I love Harlem. Period. No place like it. Never will be. Ever.
3)Los Angeles–um, well, this place is interesting…sigh.
4) Cleveland–I went to a GREAT pre-school there: Social Cultural Learning Center. My memories are very very PBS of those times.
FOUR TV SHOWS I LOVE.
1) Grey’s Anatomy–Shonda put her foot in this show (you know I’m black if I said that)
2) Deadwood–Are you serious? Shakesperean language and curse words in the rugged lawless old West?
3) Project Runway–I need to know how to put together an outfit with four dollars and some grass, these skills will be helpful one day.
4) Flip This House—damn, I’m getting grown.
FOUR PLACES I’VE VACATIONED.
1) Florence, Italy–all they need is a smidge more black people and a soul food restaurant and I’m so there.
2) Dominican Republic–I’m sure I was from DR in another life. Yaze says I’m orange colored so anything is possible.
3) Baker, CA–we were on our way to Vegas for Christmas in our Suzuki when the transmission blew and we got stuck in Baker for the holidays. You ain’t lived until you’ve stayed at the Royal Hawaiian Motel for two days, ate at Bun Boy for Christmas dinner, and decided to rent a U-Haul to tow your car back to LA because you don’t have enough money to have a tow truck do it. What?!?!
4) Palm Harbor, FL–My surrogate family is there. The Andrews. If I ever have a nervous breakdown, I’m headed to their lovely peaceful abode.
FOUR FAVORITE DISHES.
1) Sushi. Cheap or expensive, doesn’t matter. However, if you’re buying, uh…make a girl happy and shell out a few more dollars!
2) Real Italian food. Like from Italy. The more laissez faire the waitress, the better the food tastes. If one of them throws your food at you, you better open your mouth because you might have a spiritual awakening.
3) Calamari salad from Asia de Cuba. Calamari. Bananas. Greens. Citrus vinaigrette. Sigh.
4) Hot good pie. Mmm… pie.
SITES I VISIT REGULARLY:
1) npr.org
2) idontlikeyouinthatway.com
3) concreteloop.com
4) www.eurweb.com
FOUR UNDERRATED CONVERSATIONAL TOPICS.
1) Al Sharpton’s choice to focus on Boondock’s use of the “n” word as opposed to say things that REALLY make a difference on the day to day in the black community.
2) The fact that there is NO real black community in Hollywood (I said it…you can try and prove me wrong with little details about events and what not but you know this place is NOT like how it is when you go visit your friends in New York or Chicago. It just ain’t. I’ve never lived anywhere that another dreadloc person would pass you by without acknowleding you. This is why I spend all my time at Trader Joe’s with the hippy cultural folks. Sigh)
3) Right to Lifers say that they are fighting for unborn children but (and I’m pretty neutral because I don’t think abortion is the be all to end all) if you reverse Roe Vs. Wade, do you not realize that the real outcome will be more women trying do-it-yourself abortions??? Teach your belief at home, man, don’t get on a soap box spouting religious propaganda.
4) I would say another but what if Bush is tapping this blog?? The horror! Fuck it–alternative energy sources.
Umm…now I gotta “tag ya man, tag ya man” (Dance 360 reference–what?!?!)! Tasha and Katie! You’re both it!
