Do all remember that movie Brown Sugar? You know the one with Taye Diggs and Sanaa Lathan. Well besides the love story the one thing that always stuck out for me was everytime Sanaa Lathan's character gave an interview she started with the same question. "When did you fall in love with Hip-Hop?" Well I can't say that I have ever fallen in love with Hip-Hop. I like it to a point but give me R & B any day of the week and I'm there.

Agoraphobia, that’s what I have and it took me a minute to find that word. Maybe less because of the great internet. I knew I had it but I hide it well since it seems I’m always in a crowd doing one thing or another with my kids or just simply because I had to. I think the greatest invention ever made was the shopping malls all split up into single stores. It’s the reason people like me just started shopping there. You can laugh but I know I’m not the only one. So you can imagine the things that were going on in my mind when I looked at the door to the American Airlines Arena. I one of the biggest basketball fans you could imagine and a die hard Lakers Fan. Yes I had to get that in, I was on my way to my first NBA basketball game to see a first round game between the Dallas Mavericks and the San Antonio Spurs.
