My sister, Suzette Inell Williams passed away today, at 11:50am, from cancer. She was only 37. I last saw her on Friday, and I knew it would be the last time I would see her. She was asleep at home, I went to her, sat with her and watched a movie. Told her about my day and what my weekend will be like, and that I had to go out of town for two days ( Read more... )

Remember back in the day when I used to make up to 5 posts a day here on my LJ? Well those days are long gone as it seems these days I live a totally different life. I'm pulling in 60 hour work weeks and although it's tiring, I'm pacing myself and the money is going to good use, like BILLS. But I'm not out of the woods yet, not by a long shot, but ( Read more... )

This past week saw me in the blues because I couldn't think about attending any East coast Pearl Jam shows, and the weeks before that, I couldn't think about attending any West coast Eddie Vedder shows. But now, NIN has announced a 2008 summer too and they are coming to Detroit Rock City on Saturday, August 23rd! I'm so going to go for mosh pit ( Read more... )

Now more than ever, I'm glad that I trusted my gut instinct and purchased my single ticket to the Dalai Lama's visit to Ann Arbor during the weekend of April 19-20th. He will be having in 3 separate presentations, dialouges about Buddhist principles, politics, compassion, etc. And in light of the uprisings in Tibet in the past week with approx over ( Read more... )

I think the coast is almost clear in regards to winter. I swear to God I have had enough snow for 3 winters, and it was bitterly cold too. I'm thankful that my car did not konk out like so many cars did on my drive into work the past couple of months. I always smirked when I saw SUVs and newer model cars on the side of the road, or in a ditch due ( Read more... )

There was a window of opportunity today where I had the day off from both my jobs, AND the latest snow storm isn't expected until after 6pm this evening. So I was finally able to drive all the hell the way over to the East side to BFF Donna's house to use her tax software program to file my 2007 taxes. Thankfully, I get some money back. It ain't a ( Read more... )

I returned the previously rented movie, the unfunny Shrek The Third on Saturday so that the next movie I get would be '30 Days of Night' which came out on DVD on Tuesday. So it was perfect timing that I returned the movie and they sent me an email on Monday saying they got the Shrek movie and that they will mail to me, to RECEIVE on the 26th, '30 ( Read more... )
