Wow I can't believe that we are at the end of the decade. Seems like yesterday I was debating on whether I should buy tuna fish and water to survive Y2K. I gotta say though, this decade truly kicked my ass, physically, mentally and spiritually.
Let's see what went on that is worth mentioning;
W. stole an election and took the country to the edge of hell and almost pushed us in with his crazy ass!
9/11 (which also happens to be ya girls birthday BTW).
My ex of almost 13 years and I split and went our separate ways.
I went out on a limb and moved to Texas.
My Grandmother passed away (I miss you Ma!)
I had a heart attack. Got married, had a son and then had a mild stroke.
Finally came back to the stage after vowing to never perform any kind of material ever again for almost 20 years (that's kind of a long story).
I'm looking forward to the next 10 years to see what other weird twists fate will throw my way.

Welcome To My World
After years and years of talking about it, I'm finally getting off my lazy arse and starting my blog!
The Shondee Chronicles are a look into my fun, weird and fascinating world as a mommy, a business owner, adjusting to life in Austin, Texas and aspiring stand up comic. I will be sharing with you people my rants, insecurities, hopes, dreams and other random shit.
With that being said, I'll tell ya a little about me;
My name is Lashonda Lester and I'm originally from Detroit. I've been living in Austin, Texas for almost 6 years and it's been one hell of an experience and culture shock. Usually when people ask where I'm from and I tell them they have that puzzled look on their faces. You know the one that dogs give you when say something stupid to them. I've had people say shit like "OMG, I saw that movie 8 Mile. Is it really that bad?" to which I reply with the puzzled dog face look. The fuck do you think? I'm here 'aint I? Or they'll start talking to me in some weird 70s/80s mesh of jive and ebonics like I can't understand the Queen's English. GTFOH with that nonsense!
After dealing with this kind of stupid shit on a fairly consistant basis, I totally understand why some people choose to remain in the hood. You really do have to bite your tongue because otherwise you'd be kicking somebody's ass err'day!
With that being said.,
