Thank You for the Poop!
May 7, 2013
I’m grateful for my pets–even when they shit. For some reason it always comes at a time when I’m indulging in procrastination…or ignorance or something like that: when I’m not caring or paying attention. Today, I was taking my sweet time getting ready to go work out when my […]

“Vision” by yaiiir agu-$an
April 21, 2013
I’m impressed by Yaya’s camera work and editing. The shots are atypical, and give me hope that there’s still an experimental culture out there hungry for new ways to freak old tools. Word to HIP HOP. Peace to the GODS, Sondria

SOCIAL NETWORKING: To Be or Not To Be
February 13, 2013
Seriously considering deleting my twitter…I’d delete the other things but I make money off of those and, well, writers can’t be choosers. And it’s not that I’m judging or anything, God knows I could have made better networking choices than drunk tweeting every weekend, but at what point do I say, Sondria: It’s just one […]

I’m sitting here, high, thinking about my flaws as a separate entity with opposing views. Is it more effective to go to […]

Milk & Cookies
December 10, 2012
I’m eating cookies and thinking about my future self. She’s out there, right now, trying to guide me through this tumultuous present. Probably with some silver locs slung over her shoulders, writing in a birthday card for a slightly younger Vonovich. I imagine her skin looking much like my grandmother’s: smooth and dark, and she […]

NOVEMBER 25, 2012 I hit my mom with a text this morning– ME: “Can we cook this breakfast food, or…?” MOM: “Of course” ME: “Coolio. How you feelin’?” Now, immediately I scolded myself for not asking how she was feeling before asking her for food, but then I started to analyze and little more and […]
