I'm filled with thoughts and often wonder, "is it really just me?"

Hello and thank you for reading Dirty Pretty Thangs! I write my blog under the name “The Pretty Brown Girl”, but I’m known simply as “CaShawn” in The Real World. I’m a 4th generation native of Washington, DC. I actually live just a few blocks away from the hospital where I was born!

What kind of blog will it be?  It’ll be the blog of a wife, mother, Christ-follower, student, daughter, sister, and aunt writing about her hectic life.

I am a freelance writer, and for the right amount of compensation, pretty much anything else you want. In my spare time I think too much, so I decided to start this blog. I will use it, among other reasons, to demonstrate my various writing styles. I will also chronicle my thoughts – or lack there of – on current events, politics, life, love & relationships and much more.

The blog is titled "A Taste of Chocolate" because it gives you a peek (taste) of my life. The reason for chocolate is because for some reason, upon meeting me, people like to call me 'Chocolate' before even meeting me, I'm assuming it's because of my skin complexion, or maybe it's because I'm so darn sweet ;)

Well, the last time I took the Jung-Keirsey Personality Test, the results informed me I was a Counselor Idealist. I normally would say it was my cynicism that led me to Law School. But yes, somewhere in the back of my mind, there still is a battered, hammered, starved, exhausted, nearly-fully defeated Idealist, that hopes for the day when he can regain what strength he formally had, if not thrive.
