White Hot Fever  →
Monday, June 28, 2010 My Boo (Trey Songz) really pulled a fast one with that mini Prince tribute during his performance on the BET Awards last night.  Not only was it completely unauthorized and inappropriate, it was ill timed.  Trey knew the shizz was getting dangerously close to the fan as he soared for those high notes so he mercifully began lauding Prince with praise and adoration.  The sad...

Summertime in the City
Sunday June 27, 2010 {singing - In K. C. city of fountains where dreams are made of, there’s nothing we won’t do. end verse} The unofficial start of the summer has finally arrived. And that means the annual pillage of the city’s most famous attribute. Let’s just call it, the tainting of the city’s fountains. I have lived in Kansas City my entire life, 30 years, and...

A life lesson
Wednesday June 23, 2010 Monday night my family and I went to see Toy Story 3.  I can honestly say that it was two of the most fulfilling hours of my life so far this year.  This movie had brains, beauty, smarts and heart.  Succinctly speaking, the movie was perfect.  I was simultaneously moved and amused all in one breath. The characters are so human like that the love they have for Andy...

Reality rantings
Hello all!  This past week has been one of many interruptions and road blocks thus leading me to neglect my newborn baby, Confessions.  Well I’m back on the block and I want to discuss a trend I witnessed on TV this week.  Crazytown!?!?!?  I think you’re missing some residents. Let’s begin my week of TV in review NBA Finals Boston Celtics vs. Los Angeles Lakers Game 7 - Ron...

So I like Baseball....
Anyone that has known me for any length of time knows that I’ve never been a baseball kind of a girl.  In fact, before this baseball season I had been to one professional baseball game my entire life and the mere thought of watching a game on TV induced me to spontaneous hives.  A few adjectives I used to describe America’s pastime, “boring”, “dull”,...

Is it me?
Parents out there, you know the feeling you get when the clock strikes 3:35pm and you know you’re out the door at 4:00?  You know the tinge of excitement that comes over you as you start putting away your papers and logging out of your computer?  It’s a feeling of euphoria and excitement and you envision all the chilling you’re going to do once you get off the reservation and get...

KC Drivers
What has happened to driver courtesy in Kansas City?  The people that get behind the wheel in this town drive me batty, if it’s not a standard rainstorm that temporarily makes everyone completely revert back to their first turn behind the wheel or it’s the rudeness that is levied upon fellow unsuspecting drivers.  The nonsense is at a fever pitch. Which leads me to wonder, is KC...

Things that currently tickle my fancy
Jaheim “Finding My Way Back”       When this cat said “Always said hope floats, comprehend but I can’t cope.”  I was done.  These lyrics can’t be beat.  Jaheim is really the best of both worlds.  He’s new school sound but he’s old soul.  These new cats out here would sound foolish singing those lyrics. Billy & Victoria on Young & the...

The Next Food Network Star
Why in the Sam hell is there so many people? This show has been coming on for five years, each year like clockwork 10 people. While some reality competition shows increase each season like The Duggars brood, Next Food kept it simple and manageable. Well not this year. So far, I’m outraged. There are too many damn people. I’m going to try to make it through this episode. Wish me luck. ...
