I akin this experience to skydiving where my body was reacting to my nervousness all the way to the ranch a few years ago. I had puked all the way on the car ride. However, it was also acceptance that this was going to be happening. I was going to do my first open water…
I’m on a podcast! I’ll like to thank Octane Athletic Performance for the opportunity to be on the podcast this week to talk about my journey in ultrarunning. You can listen here! [cincopa AgMAsZNzjdJE] I still owe you all a post about my recent races, my vacation to St. Croix in the past couple months and…
I forgot when I stopped writing frequently. I think I lost interest the day a peer mentioned that I didn’t proofread. I don’t think he knew how condescending that comment was to me at the time. People actually read this? No, no way, I don’t. This was my blog. I had been blogging before blogging was even…
I still don’t know what I will be doing with these but I started drawing these during the later part of last year and made them into a series. I would certainly love to do some of these live. In the meantime, here’s a consolidation of most of them. They were all drawn on my…
RIP David Bowie. This post is about relationships you guysssssss… and it’s mostly random babbling but it’s about epiphanies. This past year has been incredible for me in terms of growth—well, that’s me reflecting on my self, it’s all I have. I truly wish that somehow I could have transported what I learned to 21-year-old…
Here we go again, another yearly round-up (I’ve been doing these since 2008 you can see the previous ones: 2008,2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 & 2014). This has been the best year of my life despite the nutty things that happened. Unfortunately, we did lose my 2nd grandfather this year—RIP daddy sparrow—I really wish that time allowed me to…
I ran the New York City Marathon last year (if you ran, or read my recap, you remembered how miserable it was despite loving that I was running in NYC). I really didn’t want to attempt to race it again. Everything hurt back then, the course was awful. I regretted not stopping to hi-five the…
I’ve always wanted to write about the full-time jobs that I have had but I’ve been lucky that I let time pass so I could digest the experience and not appear disgruntled. Often I have had ideas for “political” cartoons and comics but decided against them. However, I’ve had some pretty terrible jobs, terrible bosses…
I’m attempting to meet with my talented friends (all my friends are talented) as I am on this extended privilege hiatus (more about this in an upcoming post) to write about them on this blog. This past week I’ve done so much including trying out a new drink-and-draw scene called the Bat Haus and meeting…
There has been a bearded guy appearing on my social network lately. I certainly have avoided it being overly cutesy—because I loathe that. However, that’s my beau. We just went on an official vacation together and I really wanted to blog about it. Well, not about him (yet, don’t worry I will but it’ll be…
This might undeniably be a first world problem post but, I’ll vent. Dear New Yorkers, While I might not be tallest female you may have ever seen, I do stand at almost 6 feet and tower most of you. Not only am I not vertically challenged, I’m an athletically built African-American (Caribbean American actually but…
