Sometimes when I throw up, there's some black stuff in it. What could it possibly be?

Question

Lately, i've been throwing up about once a week. Sometimes it's because of something I eat, or the heat, or for some reason, i take a big dump (XD). That's not it though...

With the first 'retch', it's usually black, with chunks of whatever I had eaten recently. Once I think it was because I had a Pepsi, and that doesn't sit well with me sometimes, but it wasn't the most recent time since I hadn't had a soda, or anything 'dark colored' for several days.

Is is just 'random pukeage', or something to be worried about?
