It’s been a rough weekend for myself and many other 20-something women. And no guys, it has nothing to do with PMS. It has to with…this: Yes. So many hearts broken, so many dreams shattered. But, as an optimist always believes, there’s an upside to every moment of sadness. In this case? An inspiration for …
Gasp! A whole week, and no blog post?! Fret not, friends…I did write, just not for this blog (I know! It’s like I cheated on myself or something.) Check out a piece I wrote for MTV Voices on how Ramadan affects one’s “dating” life, “How to Lose A Guy in 30 Days” (shout-out to comedian Aman …
Someone told me that in the future, people won’t have 15 minutes of fame… they’ll have 15 gigabytes of fame.[1] And sure, everyone thinks they can be “Internet Famous” (it’s really not that hard to open a Twitter account, start a blog, or post a video on YouTube.) But to do it right, it takes …
Happy Father’s Day! I don’t know about you, but I spent most of my childhood (the 90’s) in front of a television set. In fact, I actually once told Simpsons-creator Matt Groening that Homer Simpson raised me (he looked at me with a little bit of concern, as if his eyes were saying, “D’oh!” Not …
The other day, I told someone they got played… specifically saying something to the extent of… “He played you like a Laker.” (Loose summary: she had high hopes, was let down in the end… yeah, you get it.) Then, because my mind works in a very tangential sense, I started trailing off and next thing …
Dear Drake – At first, I wanted to write you to say thank you (it’s later, right? I’m guessing you expected gratitude once you released the followup to your debut album, Thank Me Later.) You see, your music has been heavily featured in the soundtrack to my recent life. Whether it was 2009’s “Best I Ever …
There’s no question about it…I’m addicted to the Internet. More specifically, social media (I’ve been with Facebook for 7 years, Twitter for almost 3, MySpace…irrelevant since I was never a girl wHo tYPeD LikE tHiS!) Anyway. When it comes to social media, there are some unsaid rules that MOST people know and follow. The problem? …
YOUtube. No, not MyTube. Not YourTube. Not…okay I’ll stop, this is clearly a really crappy attempt at a joke. Anyway. Four years ago, I used YouTube as a way to get a job…in the “I’m gonna upload these random news reporting clips from college and send private links to potential employers in the hopes that …
FIRST LISTEN HERE: Diamond Artest – “Fighter” [KHANversations.com Exclusive] I’d never been inspired by an eight-year-old until I got an email from Metta World Peace (yes, the basketball player formerly known as Ron Artest.) Sure, I had been inspired by the tweenage Justin Bieber when watching “Never Say Never” – but never someone under the age of …
I said it once, I’ll say it again… I would never date a Blackberry. For those not following along, my definition of a Blackberry, as it pertains to this blog post, is a person who uses the RIM device, most often associated with finance and entertainment professionals. NOT the fruit…I rather enjoy the fruit actually… Anyway. …
