Greetings and salutations!! Today ,I'm going to talk about the complex relationship that a black man has with the black barbershop. First things first. I think I had a pic up for this blog. I wish to confirm that I am black. Or, if you want to be PC about it, Afro-Canadian. I prefer to... Continue Reading →
Rage!!
Greetings and salutations! It's been a while since I've blogged. I've been thinking. Rage, anger, etc. It is a required and necessary emotion, and yet, if taken too far, can cause a lot of damage to oneself and personal relationships with loved ones, family, etc. The reason I'm writing this is not because I have...

The reason why this session was contentious was because she pointed out... Continue Reading →

Why do I blog?
Greetings and salutations! Why do I blog? Interesting question! Let's delve into the reasons, shall we? I blog to get things off my chest. It's hard keeping emotions and everything bottled up inside.
