I’m sorry for neglecting you. I really didn’t want things to end the way they did. It’s just that sometimes, things change. Priorities shift. And that love that was once there just…fades. And then you fall in love with another. And I’m not saying it’s justified or right or that you should forgive me or …
Crying a River over Justin Timberlake’s Marriage
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 …
Selling Out @ the ESPY Awards After Party
This is a story about a girl who ends up “selling out” because she wanted to appear like she belonged at the ESPY Awards after party…(beyond just looking like a Basketball Wife.) And yes, that girl would be me. Samia Khan. Now, before you gossip-lovers jump to conclusions that I got wasted or hooked up …
Drake vs Chris Brown: #TeamDrizzy or #TeamBreezy??
“I know you’ve been hurt…by someone else” Oh, Rihanna. If only you would sing the line you sing on Drake’s “Take Care” to Chris Brown now… it’d be so funny. It’d be like pouring salt on a wound. A chin wound. Anyway. Today’s blog is focused on the Khantroversy that is the Chris Brown-Drake fight …
Daddy Issues: What My TV Fathers Taught Me
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 …
You Got Played: Which NBA Team is He?
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 …
One Joe Jonas & a Side of Chipotle Mayo
Look. I’m a sucker for boy bands and anything 13-year-old girls like. I’m currently addicted to Carly Rae Jespen’s “Call Me Maybe” and have been known to watch Nickelodeon’s “iCarly” onDemand. Needless to say, as I was sitting at the bar at Birds in Franklin Village, catching up with the oh-so-dreamy Manish Dayal of 9021O …
My Nonversation With David Beckham
SCENE ONE: music school in Hollywood, specific location not to be disclosed for fear of stalkers Samia is late to her 6:30 songwriting class due to LA traffic. She parks at a meter at 6:38 and fills it til 7:58, running out of coins and hoping a parking attendant won’t drive by and see a …
Take Care, Tatyana
I’m going to keep this blog post short and sweet, because well, real talk… in an effort to write the “perfect blog post”, I’ve just delayed writing it by 12 days, and that’s stupid because then nothing gets accomplished. This being realized, I will now begin every day repeating the mantra, “not everything I write …
Donald Glover vs Troy Barnes vs Childish Gambino
I’d like to issue an apology to Donald Glover for taking two years to write a blog post about him. You see, the man also known to “Community” lovers as Troy Barnes and hip-hop heads as Childish Gambino is incredibly talented… and I? Well, I’m just a procrastinator. Perhaps I should take a hard-working cue …
