• The Truth Will Out

    I have always lived by the idea that, “If you can’t be good, be good at what you do.” The idea behind it is that it is impossible to always do the right thing according to everyone else’s standards, but it is at least good form to do the deed so that you can point…

  • Why did I make you Black?

    Get off your knees and look around, Tell me, what do you see? I didn’t make you in the image of darkness, I made you in the likeness of ME! I made you the color of coal from which beautiful diamonds are formed. I made you the color of oil, the black gold that keeps…

  • The Pink Dress

    There was this little girl sitting by herself in the park. People passed by her and never stopped to see why she looked so sad. Dressed in a worn pink dress, barefoot and dirty, the girl just sat And watched the people go by. She never tried to speak. She never said a word. Many…

  • Royal Earworm

    So there’s this song that is a real earworm for me. Its catchy, its got a beet to it, and best of all, it is down to earth. As an >amateur musician, I am very picky about my jams. This song is off the chains. What makes an earworm for me is simplicity. The lyrics…

  • Driving The Speed Limit

    A trooper noticed a car full of elderly ladies driving 22 miles per hour down the highway and decided to stop them. As he pulled them over and approached the car, he noticed that they were all wild-eyed and shaking. He got to the window and asked the driver “Ma’am, do you know why I…

  • Hankering for Hoe Cakes

    All my friends know that I love to cook. I see it as my therapy, and a tasty way to exercise my creativity. I will cook anything, but some days I just want comfort food. I just want some fried chicken, Macaroni and cheese, Greens, and some Hoe Cakes. Yes, you read that correctly, Hoe…
