Back Home In Lexington

After three years as a news producer in Savannah, GA, I decided to move back to Lexington.  I had left home almost 20 years ago, soon after I had graduated from the University of Kentucky. I moved back home December of 2014. Actually I moved in with one of my sisters and her now 4-year-old son Teric. I also got hired as a news producer at a local tv station.

It feels good to be back home, although I look nothing how I use to look, because of all the weight I've gained. Still it feels good to be around family again, and to do stuff with loved ones, like go to concerts.

Before I moved back, I discovered Kdramas, Kpop and Khiphop (in that order). The dramas I watch on Dramafever.com and Viki.com. The great thing about Kdramas is that they usually only have one season, so there's only about a 20 episode commitment. Right now I highly recommend "It's Okay, That's Love," "Marriage Contract" and "Fated to Love You".

Kpop I discovered after watching Kdramas, because a lot of the shows star Korean pop musicians from boy bands / groups. From Kpop I found Khiphop, and record labels AOMG, Illionaire Records and Hi-Lite Records.

One of the first things I accomplished when I moved in with my sister, was getting her and another sister to love Kdramas, Kpop and Khiphop too. With two sisters and a friend on board, we started a youtube page (Idol Noonas), to react to music videos coming out of Korea. They are in front of the camera, and me, I'm behind the scenes.  One of my favorite videos from Idol Noonas is the end of year video review skit. The girls are really funny....

On Our Way to the Top of the Lighthouse

“Alright, you go on up, I’m going to wait right here,” my then 17-year old sister Obadiah declared after we’d made our way to the grounds of the Key West Lighthouse and Keepers Quarters Museum. She and my then 21-year old sister Onierita and I decided to drive down from Weston, a small resort town west of Ft. Lauderdale. I had been in South Florida maybe a little over a year when my sisters and I decided to plan this day trip. Only a few hours away, we knew we had to try the conch fritters, and bring home key lime pie as well as hit the Pirates Museum, Mallory Square, and ride a trolley to the historic Key West Lighthouse. We talked about the itinerary beforehand and that’s why it came as such a huge surprise when Obadiah protested taking the journey to the top. “What,” Onie and I questioned in unison. “I’m going to wait right here,” Obadiah smiled up at us defiantly. “Oh no,” I said, “You’re going with us!” “Yep,” added Onie, “you have no choice.” Obadiah reluctantly headed towar...

Tari: A Part Time Love Adventure

I fell for him even before I met him. I had taken a part-time position at a local gym and fitness center and I was the first smile members saw when they walked through the door. I was a front desk clerk, and my job was to take guest fees and to register members for classes. It was an easy part-time job, filled with a bit of friendly and perfectly built pieces of eye candy. But as much as I enjoyed the well oiled machines that walked through the door, and as attracted as I was to just about every male there, I was most drawn to an employee that I had yet to meet. For some reason, fellow co-workers kept bringing up his name. “Wait till you meet Matt, wait till you meet Matt,” they would say. They, were a young bunch. Most making their way through college. I was older and college was already years behind me, but this part-time job helped to pay the bills, because my full time salaried position just wasn’t cutting it. So the first couple of days of this new gig, I had heard a lot about thi...

A Gathering of our Native Americans

"The tribes who still live the traditional way of life believe that nature and the Indian people spoke the same language. They believe that nature was the guide and provider for the tribe and that nature gave each tribe power and its own unique identity. The tribes developed dances around the animals and natural forces in which they believed. It is those dances that are danced at pow-wows." Gathering of Nations, A PowWow Experience Ever been to a pow-wow? I have and it was beautiful. And I hope to one day go again. I was raised in the Black experience, but per my Mother and Father I do have Native American ancestry. My mother’s family mainly from Kentucky could possible carry the blood of Shawnee Indians and my father’s people, mainly creoles from Louisiana and later Texas, carry the blood of the Chitimacha Indians. Many others do as well, yet how many people outside of active Native American tribesmen actually know what that means. What does it mean to be a Native American i...
