Mahoganie: The Chronicals of a Komplex Phemale

The Hardest Lesson

nobody@vox.com(Mahoganie) — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 21:17:47 -0500

One of the hardest lessons that I've learned - and still reminding myself of - is that I'm worth it. It's been on my heart and mind to sit down and talk with my aunt. I love my aunt, even in the midst of her flaws. After all, who am I to judge. ...

A Flashing Lights Kinda Night

nobody@vox.com(Mahoganie) — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 00:32:02 -0500

Friday Night. Georgetown... Opening Night for Foto Week DC. Drinks pouring. Beautiful people around. Me and Kel conversing and bumping to the ecclectic mellow mix of house music. Tasty spread of hor'dorves. Floating from one gallery to the next....

Coming Out to Play

I was in the middle of my creative writing class with Medina yesterday when my Blackberry kept vibrating. A couple of times it was just the annoyance of emails coming through, but then came the phone calls. First, a call from home. I didn't answe...

Feeling Ok To Feel

"...a very caring and loving person who is afraid of her own feelings." When I first read that message I took a deep breath. The message was left anonymously via the Honesty Box on my Facebook page. The honesty box allows people to secretly answ...

Industry Fatigue?

nobody@vox.com(Mahoganie) — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 18:07:50 -0400

Last week my school held their annual job fair for those in the communications field. In years before, there has always been a good turn out of both internship/job seekers and recruiters/companies from all sectors of the communications realm. In ...

Artistic Plane

nobody@vox.com(Mahoganie) — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 22:22:14 -0400

I'm in an artistic mood but not sure where to start. Ok... maybe I have an idea. I'm working on a creative writing project for my class with Medina. It's our Mid-term. The project is to take about 20 shots (pictures) and create a narrative from t...

So Much In Little Time

nobody@vox.com(Mahoganie) — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 15:30:12 -0400

It can be so easy to write a journal entry when things are sour. It's when I feel most compelled to pour everything out of my soul. My emotions are raw, but it's all out. Released. The end result is (sometimes) a better understanding of the situ...

Sink or Swim: SOS

nobody@vox.com(Mahoganie) — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 01:00:52 -0400

This is bad. Either I am really a slave to my distractions or I REALLY have ADD. It's the third week of school and I'm behind. Not really behind, but behind enough that if I procrastinate any longer I'll be in a hole. I'm worried that with this f...

Sink or Swim

nobody@vox.com(Mahoganie) — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 23:17:18 -0400

My spiritual journey has been one of highs and lows. Perhaps the reason it hasn't been a constant plane is out of my own stubborn and controlling ways to which I haven't given up my full trust and completely rely on my faith. There have been mome...
