You may be wondering why there's a pic of my foot in my fave peep-toes. Well, keep wondering because I don't know either.
I am an artist who paints mental pictures with words. Sometimes I write what others think and/or can’t verbalize. It’s an irregular obsession; when I’m not playing air guitar while pretending to be the long lost member of The Revolution or trying to set the world record for stuffing my face with the most generic cheese puffs, oftentimes I skim a menu using an imaginary red marker, scream at the TV anchor making an obvious grammatical error (what’s a “safe haven” when a haven’s already supposed to be safe, you oaf!) & compulsively proofread my work.
But this site is dedicated to my random thoughts & sarcastic commentaries. Sure, everyone has a blog these days but mine is more important. Consider it my [100%] accurate vent space.
Thanks to:
- Alyssa for her casual yet oh-so-entertaining writing style & for introducing me to the world of online social networking (Asian Avenue circa 2000, haHA!)
- Joe & select others who emailed their subway escapades, office routines, etc. & subsequently inspired me to log similar events
- Mercia for her unwavering encouragement regarding my journalism career
- Mara for her loyal subscription to my celeb-bashing award show critiques
- My sister who said my sometimes icy humor reminds her of Steven Cojocaru
- Canadian George, the group I met during my birthday outing, Alex Jeffrys & countless other near-strangers who’ve emphasized how much I need a personal blog
- My 7th grade “teacher” who stole my original assignments, only to brag about selling them to some New England chick who was compiling a book of short stories… I’d love to staple a big, fat lawsuit to the middle of her ginormous forehead.

I hate obvious grammatical errors, too. For example, I never understood why Destiny’s Child used this phrase in one of their first hits:
“What’s the problem, babe? Never had a girl like I?”
WHY, Crystal? Why couldn’t they just say “What’s the problem, babe? Never had a girl so fly?”
It keeps me up at night.
Subtle grammar errors are okay. In fact, I think there’s one in my last comment. Find it!
As much as it makes my skin crawl, grammatical errors are usually deemed acceptable in creative writing and song lyrics. It’s called poetic license. However, “fly” would have still rhymed AND been grammatically correct!
Still waiting for my signed copy of your book!!! Continue to do amazing things and thank you for allowing me to be a part of your journey!!!
