Once again, I have received an unsolicited comment about the matter of my eggs, a reminder that I am not growing younger, and advice that I better get married soon so I can make babies. I don’t mind the assumption that one must be married before childbearing begins as I have no plans of raising a child […]
Election Rant: Sexism or Racism – Choose Your Devil
Warning Rant ahead! Right now, Americans are being very smug. Oh look at us. “We have a White woman and a Black man running for President of the United States”. “Oh look how far we have come”. “Racism is a thing of the past”. “Obama not only has the African-American vote, he is also drawing […]
Dear FutureMe
I came across this FutureMe website in my countless hours of surfing the web today that lets users send emails to themselves in the future, anywhere from a day to 30 years ahead. So cool! I sent an email to Future KChie in 2015 asking her if she had reached her short-term goals: financial, personal, […]
Randomness Music
Weird and KChie are essentially synonymous – at least family and friends make it seem so. As I surf the web and record my thoughts, I’m listening to my fave songs on random shuffle on my YP-T9, yet to fill up all 4GB I have available. What? No Ipod? Nope! I decided I wanted to […]
Randomness
This randomness is from a couple of weeks ago…. Why did I walk out my door one fine morning, to the sound of very heavy snoring, thinking wow! either these walls are thin, or my neighbours have a terrible snoring problem, only to see a full-grown man, fully clothed but with his shoes strewn around, […]
Boston Here I Come!
So with the end of residency and the start of fellowship comes my big move. I decided to go to a large city. I was tired of being in the middle of the boondocks or surrounded by lots of settled people in their perfect houses and gardens and 2.1 children. And since I’m not a […]
Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club
Friday, June 1, marked the 40 yr anniversary of The Beatles greatest album, Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, recorded as Beatlemania was waning. I got introduced to The Beatles at the Havel School, a British school in Germany for military kids, in the 1980s where we sang songs like With a Little Help From […]
The Don Imus Saga
Unless you live underneath a rock, or at least not in the United States, you have by now heard about the Don Imus saga. Don Imus, a sarcastic and often rude comedian who has his own TV/radio show Imus in the Morning, apparently took things a bit too far this past week. On April 4th, […]
The New Wave of Feminism?
I must be growing old. Is there a new wave of feminism in America? So I was watching TV and I saw an ad for the new Pussycat Dolls reality show – The Pussycat Dolls Present: The Search for the Next Doll. For those who don’t know, the Pussycat Dolls are a 6 member scantily […]
Being a QuirkyAlone
So, I was surfing the web the other day and came across an interesting read. The concept of quirkyalone. Definition: a person who enjoys being single, but is not opposed to being in a relationship; he or she generally prefers to be alone and not dating just for the sake of being in a couple. […]
A lover of mangoes. A woman - smart, without pretense, lefthanded, Afropolitan - navigating this thing called life. An unapologetic believer in social justice and karma. Choosing to radiate positive energy and be true to myself. Here, my musings.
