La Shawn Barber, Race Blogger

May 25, 2006

Why is this woman smiling? I’ve been on a roll with the racial stuff lately. One of my disgruntled detractors finds it disturbing that I always seem to end up “siding” with the race other than my own. Sometimes it’s incidental; other times deliberate. Others are upset that I seem to always blog about race. [...]

May 5, 2006

Monday, May 8: Thanks so much for the birthday wishes! I’ll update this blog sometime today. What shall I blog about? Illegal immigration? The drug-addicted and alcoholic Patrick Kennedy? Yeah, I’ll tell you my “Kennedy story.” ———————————————————– Full of flaws, yet so divine, La Shawn Barber is…39! Lordy, lordy…she’s almost 40!!! Important before-I-turn-40 goal: A [...]

Odds & Ends

February 28, 2006

Update (3/1): There’s a new Christian ezine on the web. Visit and read Christian Women Online! ———————————————————————————————— It’s funny, in a way, that I have less time to blog now that I’m working from home than when I was working eight hours, five days a week at the day job. I’m laboring under a couple [...]

James Frey, JT LeRoy, and Me

January 12, 2006

I don’t have time to blog it now, but I have a BIG post planned about this. (More stories) I intend to make a serious confession, and I hope that you, my friends of over two years, will understand. Watch this space for updates. Fakery blogging, etc.: Michelle Malkin (and here), Overlawyered, Fear the Reaper! [...]

Love, The Brotherly Kind

January 7, 2006

I said I wouldn’t update the blog until tomorrow, but what do I know? It’s ironic that I’m in the city of philia, a city I had no love for when I spent three years here as a broke, drunk, underachieving law student. Seems like another lifetime. The only bright spot was clerking during the [...]

Mental Musings

December 1, 2005

Muslim Scholars denounces accusations against Syria
uh, am I crazy or is muslim scholar an oxymoron

Really DUMB JEWS?Brains_1

Woman in France Receives World’s First Face Transplant
now if they could only master the "soul" transplant, then we’d be getting somewhere

Hamas
Leader Says His Group Won’t Renew Truce After Palestinian Elections: Attacks
Must Accompany Political Process
-
uh, what’s a truce?

Teddy"I can swim she can’t" Kennedy’s Spirited moment


Kerry’s comeback

The
New ‘Fake but Accurate’

"Some climate experts have said the potential
cooling of Europe was paradoxically consistent with global warming caused
by the accumulation of heat-trapping ‘greenhouse’ emissions."–New York Times,
Dec. 1

‘It
Is Unclear Whether the Anonymous Quotes Are Authentic’

"As part of an
information offensive in Iraq, the U.S. military is secretly paying Iraqi
newspapers to publish stories written by American troops in an effort to burnish
the image of the U.S. mission in Iraq," claims a story in the Los Angeles Times. More here

Direct contradiction by the global warming crowd inside of 24 hours on whether
Europe is going to freeze or melt… and who cares anyway if the Islamofascists
have the run of the place? See: "100%
Chance of We Don’t Know"

A new American credit card allows holders to donate money to
Israeli causes with every purchase.
Where do I sign?

Two-Year Blogiversary

November 7, 2005

Last Saturday marked the second year I’ve been blogging. I was too busy with my 20th high school reunion to notice. What can I say? It’s been a great ride. While I consider myself a pure blogger, one who enjoys (and in my case, craves) the act of blogging itself, I must say that I’m [...]

If I Had A Million Dollars

August 16, 2005

Finally, after a year and nine months of blogging, I’ve received over 1,000,000 unique visitors. (Does this mean I can stop now?) Actually, I signed up with Site Meter a year and three months ago, so that’s over 1,000,000 unique visitors in the past year and three months. Not bad. Thanks, readers! Let’s try for [...]

Tinkering

July 5, 2005

This weekend I added/deleted/rearranged a few things on the site. Updated pages (you guys are great proofreaders): About Contact Writings I added a site navigation section to the left sidebar to include comment and e-mail policies. Very important for new readers. I’m also working on a “favorite posts” page that will provide links to 20 [...]

I’m Having Too Much Fun With This

June 8, 2005

Every now and then I have to deal with a barrage of criticism over something I’ve written. During these times, my Ecosystem ranking increases, and traffic spikes. I find it slightly irritating yet fascinatingly fun that I can generate such blogospheric heat with a few strokes of the keyboard. Check Technorati and you’ll find new [...]

Self-Employment, Etc.

May 17, 2005

Over three weeks ago, I quit the day job. I wanted to give you a quick update on what I’m doing. During the first two weeks of self-employment, I had to prepare for two speaking engagements. One was for monetary compensation, but both paid in Christian fellowship, personal and professional contacts, and confirmation that risk-taking [...]

Star Wars Memories

May 5, 2005

(5/6) — Thank you for the birthday wishes, everybody! ————————————————————— (Photos courtesy of Lucasfilm) A long time ago, in a theater far, far away, an impressionable ten-year-old stared up at a movie screen filled with images of flying space machines and swords of light. She was introduced to places she’d never seen before and not [...]

On Fellowships and Freelancing

April 26, 2005

Last month I applied for a Phillips Foundation Journalism Fellowship. I was fed up with the 9-5, so I figured I’d take a chance and compete with professionals for a career-making fellowship that would support me while I wrote a book and added credibility to my role as a blogger aspiring to be a full [...]

Last Things

April 22, 2005

Last month I blogged about quitting my day job, and I said my last day was sometime in April. This is the day! I’ve been working half days for about three weeks to help with the transition, and now I’m done. I’ll blog about it later. While you wait, check out the Carnival of the [...]

Life Offline

April 5, 2005

One of my “fans” e-mailed the other day to say I talked about myself too much. I was very proud of myself for not sending him a sarcastic answer. I hope he’s not reading this post because since I’m so me-oriented, I’m going to talk about myself some more. Now about me. Real life, life [...]
