Happy Holidays!

What a joyous and festive time for all!

I'm just so so so so HAPPY! Can't you tell?

It's that special time of year when families get together and celebrate the birth of baby Jesus, the festival of lights in Jerusalem, or whatever it is that we Black Americans are supposed to be celebrating for Kwanzaa.

Princess KimmyKin's shows my exact state of emotions during this holiday season. I'm so overwhelmed I could ugly cry.

Take a quick breather from all of your shopping, family time and ugly crying to check out new (free!!!!) music from Lykkie Li, The Weeknd, new videos from Drake, Stalley and Rihanna and a last minute budget friendly shopping guide

I have another website. It will follow the premise that I initially aimed for when I created this blog.

You can find it at DBBLife.com 

It's still a work in progress, but be sure to check back frequently for more updates.

I'm a Winner BaYBee

I'm no actress, but if they ever remake this movie without casting me as Tracy Chambers... (I don't know, I thought about how to finish that for a few minutes and couldn't come up with anything) *moving on*

I am Mahogany... I'm also Mitch from 'Paid In Full' whenever the spirit moves me, but I digress.

Thank You

I wrote that post last night from a very vulnerable place. I don't know what possessed me to copy the link on twitter or even send it to Necole Bitchie.

I did. She saw it and retweeted it.

I want to send a sincere thank you to everyone that took the time to read it and send me kind messages of encouragement. It truly means a lot.

I don't know what the future will bring, but I really mean it when I say I've got my head held high.

Much love and positive energy right back to all of you!

The Diary of a Failure

Yesterday, December 7, 2011 is a date that will forever be of important significance.

I got fired.

To say that the rug was pulled out from under me is an understatement. The rug was pulled out from under me, I was bashed in the head with a hammer, rolled up in the rug and then thrown into a trash compactor.

After 7 weeks of being a devoted and self-sacrificing employee, I was discarded like a piece of un-recycled garbage.

I know what most people are thinking. To be fired in such a short amount of time must mean that I was the most horrible, trouble making and irresponsible employee one could ever imagine. Not the case.

In fact, it was quite the opposite.
