Lena Dunham Is Not The Problem
XFINITY offered a Watch-a-thon last week in order to lure more subscribers to the zillions of channels they offer. I grabbed the opportunity and watched the current zeitgeist offering HBO's Girls.

Giving Up Facebook for Lent
I am Catholic. I'm not very good at it. I wish I turned to
prayer more and my own solutions less.I wish the controversy that
plagued the Catholic Church didn't haunt me. Better yet I wish the
controversy didn't exist at all because/… Read full post »

In Hollywood actresses fall into three categories.
The "it" girls.
Jennifer Lawrence 
Lena Dunham and the cast of Girls.Former "it" girls who are trying to stay in the category through plastic surgery.
And the Debate Goes to...Big Bird
I looked forward to the debate like it was the show after a cliffhanger or the last episode of a beloved show. I actually appreciated the countdown clock one of the cable news channels displayed in the right hand corner so I knew exactly what time it would start.

MTV Generation Be Warned (guest post by Bill Gaul)
"Daddy, where are the keys?"
A simple question asked of a critically ill father by his 42 year-old daughter hoping to open the safe deposit box.
But what if the father's pride gets in the way of answering and the mother doesn't know who you are?
Such was the… Read full post »
Disney Needs a Kinky Princess
My daughter thinks she's a Princess.
She adores Ariel; a mermaid who gives up her entire underwater life to marry a Prince. Hence, becoming a Princess.
I've ruined her.
I first showed herLittle Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast; those durn… Read full post »
The Incredible Hulk; What We Have In Common
I have an alter ego. Imagine a black woman who wears all black, high heeled boots, large hoop earrings, and an attitude. Did I mention she kicks ass?
She comes out when people have gone too far, pushed my buttons, messed with my peeps, or crossed my line. She has defended… Read full post »
Forget to Remember: Child to Caretaker
This summer my sister Gina and I held the distinction of having two parents in the hospital at the same time. On top of that, they were in different hospitals; one hour apart. I was drawn to our Mother and my sister was pulled to our Dad. We didn't pressure each… Read full post »
Forget to Remember
My Mother passed away on February 2nd after suffering a massive stroke. She was found unconscious on the floor of her bathroom at the nursing home she'd been living in for the past eight months. She had lived there since my Father passed away in June. My
March Madness; It Doesn't Matter If You Win or Win
"It's alright. I'm happy for everyone." That was my answer when I was informed that I was clapping for the wrong team at my daughter Audra's Hoop Dreams Game. That ladies and gentlemen, is the full extent of my competitive edge. So what if the kid in a blue t-shirt made… Read full post »
Why a Teacher Oughta Be Rich
Recently, a former teacher friended me on Facebook. She taught me theatre in high school. In other words, she instilled my work ethic, discipline, and a love of the rehearsal process. She supported my ambition and drive while teaching me how to set a goal and work toward achieving it. On… Read full post »
Reach Out And Leave Me Alone
Recently, I lost myself in the Barbie Exhibit at the Indianapolis Children's Museum. As soon as I hit the entrance I was swept into to all the good feelings of my childhood. As my three year old daughter busied herself at the Barbie reception desk and spoke on the Barbie princess… Read full post »

Pregnant Lady Needs A Hand
I realized something March 4th at the Panera Bread on Church Street in Evanston, Illinois at approximately 12:30p. If you were there at that time then I ask you to take a good long look at yourself. I was with my dear two and a half year old Audra in yet/… Read full post »
To Haiti, with Love
I love Haitian people. That probably sounds like a racist generality along the lines of "I love black people," or "Some of my best friends are...fill in your blank." Let me clarify. I am Haitian. Second generation. One Hundred percent. My parents have inhabited Chicago, Illinois f… Read full post »
