So, I didn’t exactly get new posts up in three consecutive days over the weekend like I wanted to, but at least I’m getting three real ones (I won’t count my request for the hook-up on that MP3) posted within a seven-day period. I’ve been diving into the new gig full-force lately and have devoted a lot of my evenings to getting smarter, so I haven’t been checking my blog Inbox too often. I’m going to work on that now that I’m a little more settled into the job because I know there are folk out there waiting to hear… Read the rest

What’s up, y’all. This is going to be a quick and very random entry, but I’m hoping that one of you will be able to help me out with something.

It is by a guy named Salem Al Fakir and it’s called “Dreamgirl” (video for the song… Read the rest).

What’s good, folk. So, I was just sitting here enjoying my lazy Sunday with a healthy helping of NBA basketball and thought I might as well multitask and knock out another message from my Inbox backlog. It’s been a while since I’ve made two posts in a single weekend and I might even try to get a third one in too. We’ll have to see if I feel like being that productive later on in the evening though.

OK, let’s get to it…The email below is from a recent college grad who has some general questions about preparing to apply… Read the rest

Hello, all. As you might have noticed, my output of entries has been pretty light in 2009, which I feel bad about. I usually take some time on the weekends to work on responses to reader emails, but I’ve been pretty swamped with work and other stuff so far this month, which has caused the delays. I finally got some free time this weekend, so I figured I’d use this time to make a dent in my Inbox backlog.

The message below is from a reader who has been following my blog for years…since waaaaaaaay back when I used to… Read the rest

Hey there, peoples. Welcome to the first entry of 2009. I wish I had been able to post this sooner, but I’ve been really busy with the start of the year. I’ve literally had the text file for the entry open on my laptop since Jan. 1 and it just sat there with me writing a few sentences every couple of days. After almost two weeks of writing, I’ve finally got something that I can post up here. It’s a labor of love, but y’all know I do it for the people, right?
