A place for Huey

It seems like the stars have aligned for me to finally write this post on evolution. Well sort of. I have had this post in my drafts for more than a week now because I could not find the impetus or a motivating story to help springboard some of the ideas I have in this post. Today, however, I feel overwhelmingly loved and appreciated, beyond measure, by the people in my life, and even to an extent, the cosmos. And thus, this post on love makes perfect sense. Today, July 13th, falls on the day of my birth, Friday. Friday the 13th on the 7th month of the year! If you believe in astrology, superstition and/or Judaism/Christianity - my birth day is perfect yet unlucky. And I can deal with that. Today is the first time in a long while I have stayed at home for the entirety of my birthday - sans celebration - and it is possibly the last time in a long while this may happen. With all of the time that I have had to reflect at home, I have been asking myself whether my love is bi...

Listen to Frank Ocean's We all Try while you read this. At least that is what I have on repeat while I write this. It helps with getting the right sentimentality for his recent post on tumblr regarding rumors about his bisexuality. It puts me in an amazing place of freedom and love (when I am not naturally in this disposition).

And because the font is incredibly small on his open letter, I have copied and pasted what he shared on his tumblr in a bigger font (cre...

Below is my recap of the BET Awards. I wanted to try live blogging where I write down my thoughts/reaction of the show as it is being shown on TV. Overall, I think that this year's show was good - a diverse range of artists and commentary - laughter and seriousness. I was fairly entertained watching it. So here is it: ----------------------------------------------------------- Kanye's free style in the opening = <3...He looks emotional and his words, as always, vulnerable (His vulnerability is why I fell in love with his music and him being a musical genius is what has kept me a fan). Kanye - his acceptance speech: honest. Admits that he doesn't get it right whether he wins or looses. #Real I also love the friendship he shares with Jay Z. Seeming opposites counteract each others weaknesses. (As much as I love Jay, he often appears cold and distant; Kanye softens him and allows him to be honest). Chris Brown should not have won best male R&B. period. When did C...
