My Thoughts (Rants)


Value of the FAMU Brand

I just got back this past weekend from the FAMU NAA National Conference. It was an experience that was great in so many ways. On Saturday, we were addressed by the new athletic director of FAMU, Kellen Winslow, Sr. …

Black Owned Businesses

If you didn’t know, I’m currently the corresponding secretary for the Washington DC Chapter of the Florida A&M University National Alumni Association.  I also do the website for the chapter.  At the end of 2013, I proposed that we have some sort of donation effort so people could donate money to the chapter.  …

Reaction to Church Facebook Song

I know it's been a while since I posted a reaction to something on my site, so it had to be kind of out there.  I was on Facebook looking at what my friends and family are up to.  All of a sudden, I see a link for the following foolishness:

New Favorite Restaurant

I've been in Maryland for almost five years now.  When someone asks me where do I want to eat or where is my favorite restaurant, I have no answer for them.  The closest answer for me was Kolache Kreations, a kolache place opened by some Texans from Houston.  …

Band Suspension Reaction

I got an email today through the DC FAMU NAA email address I monitor as its corresponding secretary.  Since he sent it out to so many people, I guess there should be no problem posting it here.  Basically, it was saying that it was not right that the Marching 100 is suspended for the upcoming school year.  …

My Reaction to the Gala..oops Spring Dance

I cannot understand how members of our alumni association in good conscience will not support a fundraising effort to raise money unless the food they want is served and the entertainment they want is presented.  …

Real Reaction to MEAC Mixer

I was going to write this article for the chapter website, but I'm just really annoyed right now.  So I think I better get this off of my chest before I start writing something foul on the chapter website.


On May 17, 2012, the Washington DC Chapter of the North Carolina A&T State University hosted a MEAC Mixer.  …

Stop Being a Bum!!!

I'm so SICK of people saying that they don't know what's going on with the DC FAMU NAA.  If you type "FAMU DC" or "FAMU washington DC" or "FAMU NAA DC" or any combination of these words into any search engine on the internet, guess what pops up?  …

So Homesick!!!

I came across this group on Facebook called "You Know You're from Texas…." and they have all kinds of stuff on there.  I hate that group.  It makes me incredibly homesick.  For example, it was cold up here in Maryland and I hate cold weather.  …

Leave Me Alone!!

I was going through my Facebook news feed and came across an article I never really paid attention to on blackandmarriedwithkids.com.  By the way, I really like their website and how it seems to be written by real people.  …
