Some Might Call Them SculptedI usually don't watch random online videos. I find them annoying. I hate the time it takes to load and the "buffering", whatever that is. Give me the written word everytime and I'm happy. However, sometimes I make an exception. Rachel brought this "recipe" to my attention. I should wait until December, but I can't...it's just too good. It's Sandra Lee's Kwanzaa Cake an

Kwanzaa is a holiday celebrated in the United States that celebrates African-American culture. The word "Kwanzaa” is Swahili and means "first fruits”. To celebrate Kwanzaa, families decorate their households with African art, wear traditional African clothing, and display fresh fruits to represent idealism, one of the seven focus areas of Kwanzaa. Our craft today is a corn collage to decorate your house during Kwanzaa. Here's what you need: Yellow and green construction paper Popped corn Scissors Large Popsicle sticks White craft glue Lime green puffy paint Now here's what to do: First, cut out two leaf shapes using the green construction paper. Then, cut out one corncob shape using the yellow construction paper. Glue the yellow cob onto the green leaves so all three are attached.

Finals are over. Frosty the Snowman is a bitch. And there are less than two weeks until Kwanzaa.  Excited yet?To wrap this up, here is part three of the star wars content. It's a poem, which kind of breaks some unspoken BSD rules, but it's about star wars and love, and I know that at least Matt and the girl I wrote it for liked it.A Star Wars poem for Higgy:You shut down the trash compactors on my detention level.That is to say, you take my breath away.And maybe I just want to be your Bothan spy, Climbing in your AT-ST,Hoping we'll drive home together tonight,Back to Echo Base or Yavin IV.And it makes me smile.No, I'm not saying that you are theComforts of a Tauntaun.But you do have the warmness of one.And a certain bluish glow,Like Obi-wan on Dagobah.I'll sit and watch twin suns with you,Waiting on Tatooine.I'll make the Kessel Run to you,In less than12 parsecs with 1.21 gigawatts.And through the haze of snow and sand storms,Or the clouds of BespinI'll follow youLike

Picture this: Chicago, 2004. I really wanted an I-Pod and I asked my parents to give me one for Kwanzaa. They said no, it was too expensive. No biggie. Even though all my bougie Howard friends would have gotten I-Pods AND other gifts, I could buy myself one with my refund check. January 1st came and we exchanged gifts.

So now, every Kwanzaa, I put the crown on. This year, I recived a very lovely mud cloth skirt (in case
