  • A Night out in Atlanta GA

    A Night Out

    Atlanta, Ga

    By: Cece Hymes

    Went out and hung out with some friends for a birthday gathering in Atlanta. First time going on a party bus. We went on the Go Go Party bus. It was nice. The driver was really nice and on time. The Party bus had lights in it, music, and a pole if you want to dance. It holds about 25 people. I really enjoyed this.

    The first step was to The Clutch Restaurant. It was a really nice restaurant in Atlanta Ga. The food was Great I ended up having the Shrimp and Grits which was good. We tried the wings which were good and the brussels sprouts. They have Live music playing after a certain time. It is classy and nice. The customer service was good.

    The last place we ended up going was the Parlor Lounge which was cool. They played House music. The people were cool and it’s a nice laid-back place. It’s like a chill spot to go to and dance. The smell when you came in wasn’t too good but once in the back and down to the dance floor you couldn’t smell it.

    It was a nice day to get out and enjoy the Atlanta area and to try and do some new things and try new places. If you tried these places let me know what you liked about them. Make sure to follow me at @Cece.atl and @Cece.atlbucketlist

  • Atlantucky 1-year Anniversary (Nappy Roots)

    Nappy Roots 1-year Anniversary at Atlantucky Brewing

    Where: Atlanta, GA

    By: Cece Hymes

    I had a chance to go and support the Nappy Roots on their one-year anniversary for opening up their Brewing called Atlantucky.  Let’s talk a little about Atlantucky. It is a Black-owned brewer in the heart of Atlanta owned by the Nappy Roots. Nappy Roots came out of Kentucky and they put Atlanta and Kentucky together to make Atlantucky. Fish Scales and Skinny DeVille learned about beer and opened their own Brewing.

    Every time I go there it has positive vibes and a mixed crowd. I love what they are doing and are still making great music. It is their 1-year anniversary, and they have some special performances to celebrate with them. I got a chance to see Pastor Troy, Fabo and Backbone from the Dungeon Family perform. All the members of Nappy Roots were in the building showing love to everyone.

    If you haven’t checked out their spot make sure to check it out. Also, if you love a good beer they have different kinds and are steadily making new flavors for you to try. If you want to have an event, they also rent out one side of the building for events.

    So proud of the Nappy Roots and hope they continue to be great and keep pushing out great music. Happy Nappy Anniversary and hope they have many many more.  They also have Art shows, Writer room, Game night and many more other things there. Make sure to follow them to keep up with the new beers, music and events.

     

     

     

     

  • February Blog Challenge (Day 2)

    February Challenge

    By: Cece Hymes

    Day 2

    Q. What are your top 5 core values?

    A. I would say Honesty, Respect, Integrity, Confidence and Balance. I need all these and more. Just to name a few.

    Q. Would you date someone who has different beliefs and/or religion from you?

    A. I would say it depends on the person and religion. Some people can talk about their faith and see the different points of life. Others can take it disrespectfully and it can cause a lot of issues in a relationship. It’s good to know ahead of time and to talk about these things before getting in a relationship.

  • Denzel & Paulette Washington

    Denzel Washington & Paulette Washington

    By: Cece Hymes

    This is the month of love and we definitely got to give our roses to Denzel & Paulette Washington. They have been together 39 years or more. Every relationship has its ups and downs but being able to get through it together is a plus.

    I love this couple. Did you know they first met on the set of the 1977 TV movie Wilma? Every interview I have seen they speak of each other’s greatness, and you can still see that spark between the two. Here is some of the quotes Denzel shared with us:

    ·         “The Secret To A Happy Marriage? Do Whatever Your Wife Tells You. Yes, Dear.’ And Breathe”

    ·         “A Spiritual Foundation Helps Everything, Marriage, Work, & Peace of Mind”

    This month I wanted to shout out to this couple and give them their roses and to tell them to have many many more. Thanks for showing us how a couple can manage in this industry.  It’s always good to be good friends first. They built a family and every step of the way they were each other’s number 1 fan.

    I love to see couples that are still making it. I love “LOVE”. What is something you would love to share about this couple? Also follow me @Cece.Atl.

  • Richard Pryor (Great Memories)

    Richard Pryor

    By: Cece Hymes

     

    Richard Pryor was a stand-up comedian and actor. He was so funny. He won a Primetime Emmy Award and five Grammy Awards. He also received the first Kennedy Center Mark Twain Prize for American Humor. Some of his films that he played in are:

    ·         Me, Myself & Irene

    ·         Lost Highway

    ·         Mad Dog Time

    ·         Another You

    ·         Harlem Night

    ·         See No Evil, Hear No Evil

    ·         Bustin Loose

     

    He has acted in so many more films. He was a lot of people’s idols. Pryor has a statue in Illinois so if you are ever in that area make sure to check it out. He also has a book out so If you haven’t checked it out make sure to read and let me know what you think of it. Some of my favorite quotes by him are:

    ·         “Marriage is really tough because you have to deal with feelings… and lawyers”

    ·         “There’s a thin line between to laugh with and to laugh at”

    ·         “I never met anybody who said when they were a kid, I wanna grow up and be a critic”

     

    He was a great comedian. Another great legend that turned to drugs and alcohol to fight his demons. I pray for everyone that’s going through things. Richard Pryor left us some great laughter and films. I will never forget him in Harlem Nights, which was one of my favorite films with him in it. What was your most memorable moment with Richard Pryor? What was your favorite film with him?
