It started with a request from the host of Blacking It Up. The listeners were tasked with creating a video introducing themselves and discussing how the show has impacted their lives. I created one video with voiceovers and whatnot, but I wasn’t satisfied with how I edited it. This video …
On December 31, 2010 I rang in the new year watching an improv comedy show. I was in Philadelphia and I decided that I would do something I hadn’t done before. 1. Take a late night drive into the city (y’all know that’s supposed to be dangerous. I was living …
A few weeks ago I was on vacation and decided to take a day trip up to New York for the BlogWorld Expo. The conference itself lasted three days, but I only went up to see the exhibits and the keynote speakers. Anyway, I was at the conference down in …
I’m sitting here at Blog World Expo wondering if twitter is down or if they have purposefully blocked it. I am not pleased by this at all. Maybe it’s just me. Maybe I am the lone person who cannot receive tweets. I can post to Facebook though… Yeah, so anyway…How …
Once a month on every the third Wednesday, you can catch Elon James White and #TeamBlackness at 116 MacDougal St Blacking It Up live. This was my second journey up to NYC to catch the live show and I had a great time. I’m not going to go over all …

My abductor had previously showed me the confectionery options available to me via the bakery’s website. She had not incorrectly noted that I would want to make away with a Cosmopolitan cupcake. I will admit, once the impressive and beautiful display case was directly in front of me, my resolve …
Back on the highway headed toward Manhattan we took the exit that the phone suggested but it seemed to have missed a turn in its direction, and we ended up heading toward downtown rather than uptown. With only one more u-turn, we managed to make it to the proper 189th …
Sunday morning…my alarm went off promptly at 5 a.m. as alarms will do when programmed thusly.(Nikki’s alarm went off. I, DanielleJ, do not require alarms) I, however, was up somewhere closer to 5:12 as girls who don’t go to bed until 1 will do. Half-naked stumbling to the living room …
It was a kidnapping on a Sunday at 6 a.m. complete with a 40 ounce Thermos of coffee and mostly full tank of gas; two single girls then set out on what has to be dubbed the “madcap road trip.” Madcap: marked by capriciousness, recklessness, or foolishness And by kidnapping, …
