Nikon D40 6.1MP Digital SLR Camera →
Funny the difference a year makes. Last year I thought I would never sell my DSLR. Today I’m wondering why I didn’t try to sell it sooner.  I have similar debates about my car.  I’m working on my attachment to objects. If I can’t give something away or sell it without giving it a second thought, then I have an unhealthy attachment to said object. Gotta work on getting rid...

Unfuck Your Habitat: Unfuck Your Habitat... →
Doing this! Today! unfuckyourhabitat: 20 minutes is not a long time. Marathon cleaning sessions, while satisfying, are exhausting and make you never want to clean ever again. 20 minutes at a time, once or a few times a day, is a sustainable way of keeping your habitat unfucked. PUT IT AWAY. Probably 75% of our mess is made up of…

The Divyn Lair: The Unemployment Story →
Been there. Done that. Best thing to ever happen to me. I look at money entirely different now.  divynthought: I’ve been unemployed for two months today. It hasn’t been easy. Opening bills that you know you can’t pay and getting harassed regularly by Sallie Mae’s evil minions gets extremely annoying and frustrating after a while.

Today I did some casting for a show I am launching on MadameNoire soon. It’s a show featuring Black men of all kinds of backgrounds, mindsets and experiences.  From 9 am to 8 pm today, I spoke with 21 black men at length about their lives, their love lives and their opinions.  My takeaways: There are some really good Black men out there.

No More Auction Block For Me: You never hear that... →
douglass-forgot-the-chitterlings: about anything but the word “nigga”. Nobody ever says, “Well, if gay people don’t want to be called ‘faggots’, then they shouldn’t use the word ‘faggot’”. No one ever says, “well, if Latinos don’t want to be called ‘wetbacks’ then they shouldn’t use the word, ‘wetback’”. It is always, always… this is why i love this person.

I thought this web series was an awesome mix of compelling quality content at a cost-effective rate that integrates a brand seamlessly….until I realized these so-called smart women were wasting a gang of paper by ePrinting all these snapshots on their HP printers. Then they all just seemed wack, like why are you killing trees and such by printing out several random (but useful) snapshots you...
