its been a while

it has definitely been a while since last i posted. honestly, time and I dare to say laziness has kept me away. i take back the time part, mostly because we, i.e. people, make time to do whatever we want to do. that being said, it has been just plain laziness. now what does that say about me as a person? nothing good i do not think, but the first step is admitting that you have a problem right? please be patient with me as i have not formulated any particular thought or subject that i want to rant/expound upon. mostly i am just checking in to let you know that i am back and to visit some of the blogs that i am following, but have not followed in forever. so stay tuned, i am back in the race

14th Amendment

2010-08-05T20:07:00.005-05:00

Now republicans are talking about revising the 14th amendment to redefine citizenship. Not only should Hispanics, Latinos, and Asians be questioning the validity of this, but so should Blacks. Although the amendment is over 100 years old, its only been recently that this amendment has brought about change for the good of Black people.

The 14th amendment has 3 very important clauses that should remain unchanged.

1. The Citizenship Clause made famous by overturning the Dred Scott vs. Stanford ruling, which held that blacks could not be US citizens.
2. The Equal Protection Clause (better known as Brown vs. Board of Education) which requires each state to provide equal protection under the law to all its people in its jurisdiction. This clause allowed my mother to go to an integrated school. She went to a segregated school until the she reached the 8th grade. My mom graduated from high school in 1978. What does that tell ya?
3. The Due Process Clause prohibits the states and local government from depriving people of life, liberty, or property. This clause is the rain that saturates and gives credibility to the Bill of Rights, those arms you want to bear, property protection, your freedom of speech and religion, press and the right to assemble, no double jeopardy, a speedy trial. All those unalienable rights that are yours that come with being an American citizen. This amendment extends this to EVERYONE, not just Whites, which is whom the Bill of Rights was initially written for.

All of those items are linked, you cannot remove pieces or parts w/o contaminating the whole.

Then coining the phrase anchor baby to describe the children of illegal immigrants is just another fascist term I think, since they are promoting aggressive nationalism and racism. That's what a fascist does. The US is turning into coriander (strainer), its seems like all the undesirables are being weeded out or singled out or herded out. All we need is the return of the concentration camps. All eyes and ears are on America, its like the shot heard round the world, changing the 14th amendment will be like a contagious disease infecting other countries as well. ie...Germany, South Africa, North Korea, Iran and our dear dear friends of Saudi Arabia.

The US used to be an iconic melting pot, standing for freedom for fall, the place to come for life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. People came here to avoid persecution and other indignities.

"To stimulate wildy weak and UNtrained minds is to play with mighty fires." W.E.B DuBois.... This quote to me describes the members of the Tea Party, a bunch of yes men and women following behind a bigot that they would like to be when they grow up. This bozo to the left is is Senator Vitter from the boot. He recently told supporters at a town hall meeting that he supports groups that are STILL and I do mean STILL on that wagon about President Obama not being a native born citizen of this country. I mean its been 2 years since the whispers first started back in 2008. When President Obama was just regular old Senator Obama, you didn't give a flip about whether or not he was a citizen, native born or otherwise, but then again you were chasing tail at that time I believe. Why are you, Vitter, encouraging the nut jobs to create a legal motion to force Hawaii to provide his birth certificate. I mean who the hell are you? Last time I checked, Hawaii has been a U.S state since 1959. I mean it probably never occurred to someone as IMPORTANT as you think yourself to be, that the only folks that need to see the birth certificate are the actual personnel that need to know. That conspiracy also claims that President Obama is a Muslim, which he is not, and that he was born in Kenya which he was not. Maybe one automatically parallels to the other....Kenya is to Muslim as bay is to Guantanamo. Call it coincidence, but you know it is possible for one thing to have absolutely nothing to do with the other. Almost forgot, the President has allegedly spent millions on keeping his birth certificate a secret. Really? The man published his taxes for one and all to see, how did he cover up the BC money? He donated his Nobel Peace prize money to charity, so you can't say that he used that. What will you come up with next? No legitimate and legal birth certificate? I guess you dom't have to provide that to get a passport, your first driver's license, and maybe even to become senator or president at some point in your life. How did he manage to fool so many people?

Regardless, I'm a need you to focus on you (Vitter) instead, weren't you involved in that prostitute scandal a couple of years back? Just because your wife forgave you, doesn't mean its been forgotten.

"In America, with all of its evils and faults, you can still reach through the forest and see the sun. But we don't know yet whether that sun is rising or setting for our country." ...Dick Gregory

Its amazing to me what people will claim is A-okay, because God is on their side. The picture to the left is a group of protesters at funeral for a Marine that was killed in Iraq. Unfortunately for that Marine, he was gay so of course he can't be buried in peace. Although not pictured here, some of the signs read "Thank God for dead Soldiers." These supposedly God-fearing people are a member of an organization that has a case going to the Supreme Court later this year for that spectacle that was made at the funeral. Of course this organization (I refuse to call them a church) is defending it's 1st Amendment rights. Oh did I forget to mention that this organization also says that all Military deaths are God's punishment for tolerating homos.....their words not mine. What me as Soldier giving my life in defense of your 1st amendment rights has to do with any ones sexual preference is beyond me. Your not overseas fighting the war, you got too much time on your hands, maybe they should reinstate the draft, and give you and your family a taste, cause clearly you've never been in the Military. The troops are fighting in places that wouldn't tolerate the bull corn that the 1st amendment allows you to do and say in this country.

My sign to the right brings me back to whole 1st Amendment role. Freedom of Speech vs. Freedom of Religion, you can treat me like shit and make signs with ME as a monkey, (but you're not racist, cause you go to church on Sunday's). You making all these signs and can't spell, because I do believe that musliN is a type of fabric used in clothing, mostly dresses. You can make derogatory remarks and demean me as a human being and my religion all in the name of the 1st Amendment. I bet I can guess which part of the half breed is the problem. but again what does that have to do with policy or the issues? Race or ethinicity does not determine your level of intelligence or ability to make rational decisions. You say that you disagree with the political agenda and where this country is headed, but you ain't saying anything, all I see is Hate signs, but there again it's got nothing to do with race. The President is tearing down what "our 4 fathers created", first of all what "your 4 fathers created, was not in my best, or anyone that looks similar to myself' best interest either. Truth be told, the 4 fathers could give a shit about me and mine, and Native Americans, Hispanics, Asians and any other non lily-white individual in this country and you know it. All of us native Texans know clear as day that if it wasn't for Abe, we'd still be slaves. You want to close the borders and send the immigrants home, nevermind a few generations ago, YOU were the unwanted immigrants. Sometimes I wish President Obama would give yall what you want, just so you can say I told you so and maybe then you'll shut up. He's trying be diplomatic, but you want him to act an ass or nigga rather cause thats what you say behind closed doors. right?

yep, i'm done bitching for now........Just be glad you live in America

Mother's Day

2010-05-09T16:28:00.003-05:00

Wow its been some months since my last post. But really and truly, I honestly had nothing to say, nice or otherwise.

Well, today is a great day to let the world know how blessed I am to have the pretty woman pictured to the left in my life. Thats my mother if you haven't guessed that yet. She's my she-roe. I love her to death and I appreciate EVERYTHING that she has done or will do for me. (Thats were I get my good looks from too...lol)

MLK DAY

2010-01-18T20:24:00.003-06:00

Its been awhile since I last wrote, I guess I was just waiting for something good to right about, not good as in "juicy" but good as in beneficial to the soul or just uplifting. Today is Martin Luther King's Day. I especially like this day because it symbolizes to me hope (for the future and present day) and communion (someday soon we'll all be able to respect one another for being different), and like the differences because those very differences are what makes us all unique and special in the eyes of the Lord. I'm a diplomat, I prefer to discuss issues rather than fight over them. Non-violence is an excellent tool for long-lasting good change, where as violence brings about change too, but it also brings with it fear and dissension too, which eventually returns you right back to the starting point. My point being, start with a small change, like take a moment out of your busy life and be nice to somebody today... just because.....it'll start a chain reaction for every one who is affected.

“Now, the one thing that I think is very important is for us to have some humility in how we approach the issue of confronting evil because, you know, a lot of evil has been perpetrated based on the claim that we were trying to confront evil.”.....President Obama.

I totally agree with the above statement. #1, might does not necessarily make right. Never should POWER be abused and used to infringe on a person's HUMAN RIGHTS. And #2, there has to be a definitive line drawn, clear and precise, something that overwhelmingly sets US (friendly), apart from THEM (enemy). If another instution, whether it be another government or a person that's looking from the outside in, can't tell the difference between the peacemaker and the troublemaker then something is wrong. We dropping bombs or food on them on one hand, and then we're supplying them with weapons to keep the conflict going.

Someone please tell me what it is about me that attracts married men? Its been on my mind for a while now. I'm not sure what it is exactly that I'm doing. I swear its like I have number 2 or other woman or mistress stamped on my forehead or maybe its on my behind where I can't see it. Let me tell ya about my boring day to day life. Everyday I go to work from either 6 to 12 hours daily depending on the day of the week. I try (big emphasis on try there) to squeeze in a workout either before work or after work. I go to Church 1 to 2 times a week. I go to school full time. And then try to fit in a movie or trip to Target (my favorite store) once a week. I don't go to bars or clubs (maybe 2 or 3 times a year for those special holidays), but married men always seem to be at the places that I do go to and zero right in on me. I do believe that I am a married man magnet. What do you think?

cant forget

2009-10-14T21:31:00.003-05:00

For those of you who don't know me personally, let me tell you a little about myself. I 'm honest and extremely blunt. I'm also trustworthy, and if I consider you a friend or loved one, there's not much that I wouldn't do for you, if I got it and you need it, its yours. On the other hand, if I once counted you in my circle of love and you've proven yourself to be unworthy and not worth my time, then guess what? You might as well be dead. Cause thats what you are to me, dead. I don't suffer fools, cause my momma didn't raise one. That being said, I can count on 1 hand the actual number of friends that I have. My personality just doesn't allow for me to get along with a whole lot of other females, I don't like them, they talk too much, its been that way since I was 5. I'm not gonna tell you how old I am now. But needless to say nothing has changed. However I do try to give people the benefit of the doubt. You're probably wondering why I'm telling you this? It's so you won't judge me harshly by anything that I am going to say going forward.

My circle was infiltrated a few years back by a backstabbing, VD carrying, skeezer, (i didn't know this at the time) but I let her in the house. I won't go into details but just know she did a lot of underhanded stuff that I had to check her on. But like I said, I'll give you the benefit, once. You're probably thinking I should get over it and let it all go. And I have, everything that happened in the past is exactly where it is right now, the past. I can forgive, I just can't forget. I can't forget. I can't.

My girls and I have a monthly ladies nite out every month, and the past 3 months I haven't attended because my friends have reconnected with the snake in the grass from old. I tell them don't invite her and they do it anyway, stating I need to get over the stuff from the past. I don't think they get it. The snake is dead to me, I don't wanna see her, smell her, see those big frog eyes of hers, or be in the same room with her. Its not personal at all, she just doesn't belong. This weekend is supposed to be our monthly get together, and again, I'll have to absent myself from those goings on. My friends will say I'm being selfish by denying them my company again (hey those are their words not mine), but its for the best. I know if I go, the bug eyed girl will look at me sideways and then I'll have to pop her. again!!!!

So what do you think? Am I being mean and hateful, or doing the right thing to avoid potential conflict? You make the call.

jury duty

2009-10-12T11:47:00.004-05:00

I've been out of the loop for a while mostly because I had nothing to say and partly because I was unfortunate enough to get selected for the privilege of judging one of my peers.

Picture this Sicily 2009.. just kidding

One day I was minding my own business, and I happened to check the mail and low and behold there was a letter from Frank Crowley Court House letting me know of the privilege of having to report for jury duty. But be that as it may, the day arrived for me to show. The weather felt and looked like me too. Dark and rainy all day. Upon checking in, they place you and about 2000 other people (i mean that literally too, my juror number was 1098) in a big room with a bunch of other unlucky people and you sit and wait and sit and wait some more for about 3 hours before they split you up by numbered order. I was selected for a DWI case, not really sure how, since I said that I could not be sure that I would be unbiased, since I was almost killed by a drunk driver a few years back. But I was selected anyway (go figure). But anyway the judge gives us this speech about our civic duty and its importance because the stakes of this guys liberty (freedom) was based on our decision and we were to make a concerted effort to be unbiased and fair and make our decision based solely on the facts presented to us. After that speech, I felt obligated to sit up straight and pay close attention to the arguments and evidence and video that was provided by prosecution and defense. Now in the previous sentence, you'll notice that I mentioned that I felt obligated to focus on the case. The judge however, barely kept from just giving up the ghost and just putting his head down on the podium and passing the fuck out. I couldn't believe it, the whole thing was a joke. The lawyers kept objecting and he wouldn't hear and they would have to repeat the objection, and then he would awake and ask them why they were objecting. And the bailiff didn't event try to keep his snores to a minimum, he sat at the back of the courtroom sounding like dying pig. Now I do realize, that this was not a murder trial by any means,but again, we're talking about this guys' freedom and maybe even talking about some innocent bystanders life in the very near future, depending on if the guy drinks and drives again. After all he wrecked his car on his way home from the club, he just managed to miss the witnesses who saw him crash.

I was very appalled and disappointed mostly disappointed though in the whole process. See I've never served jury duty, never been in trouble with the law (tickets don't count) either so my expectations and the reality of the situation were 2 completely different things. To be honest, I'm not really sure what I expected, but what I got wasn't much.

working hard work

2009-09-17T22:23:00.007-05:00

Its hard being a woman, regardless of skin tone, body type, or where you lay your head at night, being a woman is a struggle. We have so much to do and so little time. I sometimes wonder if men (or women for some of you) even realize all that a lady has to do in order to be FINE. It ain't easy although we do try our best to make it look effortless. For instance, take shaving, it requires alot of focus and attention to detail for the easy to reach and not so easy to reach spots. You prefer smooth hairless legs and so do we. You prefer the kitty to be neatly trimmed and primped and so do we, for its not only environmentally friendly but its stays cooler that way too. However, depending on the method of hair removal the woman chooses, it can be not only painful but sometimes traumatic (ie... we have to test various devices and products to find the right fit for the kitty (no pun intended of course). You like to dress or rather undress the kitty in pretty barely there panties and again so do we. We spend hundreds of dollars a month to keep the wig fixed and on point. Not to mention the manicures and pedicures, and the freaking eyebrow waxes (that shit hurts) and the one you should appreciate the most that we do in our spare time when we're looking dazed or as if we are staring into space, the KEGAL (aka kung foo grip) exercises (not sure what those are? google it) Yea buddy we do those for your benefit. All of it.

Basically what I'm trying to say is, if you haven't told your lady something sweet in a while. Take the time do so, because its guaranteed to lead to her showing you or doing you something sweet in return. :)

p.s SBF enjoys reading and a good comedy looking for SM. any recommendations, anyone?

Bush on Obama: 'This guy has no clue'

2009-09-15T21:16:00.004-05:00

In Latimer's (Bush's speech writer) new book, "Speech-less: Tales of a White House Survivor," he reveals Bush's reactions to the economic collapse, the presidential campaign, and other memorable events. Latimer said Bush liked Mitt Romney best and that he was "clearly not impressed with the McCain operation." Latimer said the former president wanted to appear with McCain at a campaign event in Phoenix, but after he was told the then-Republican nominee couldn't get enough people to show up, he called it a "cruel hoax.""'He couldn't get 500 people? I could get that many people to turn out in Crawford.' He shook his head. 'This is a five-spiral crash, boys.'"– Former President George W. Bush "seemed to feel considerable unease" with John McCain as the Republican presidential nominee, according to ex-speechwriter Matt Latimer in his tell-all memoir on his days in the White House. Bush presumed Hillary Clinton would be the Democratic nominee(thats what you get for assuming mothafucker), according to Latimer, and was extremely critical of Barack Obama. Latimer said Bush was "ticked off" after one of Obama's speeches and he said the future president wasn't "remotely qualified" for the challenges of the job."(Bush) came in one day to rehearse a speech, fuming. 'This is a dangerous world,' he said for no apparent reason, 'and this cat isn't remotely qualified to handle it. This guy has no clue, I promise you,'" Latimer said. Latimer also made the controversial assertion that after Sarah Palin was tapped as McCain's running mate, Bush reportedly asked whether she was "the governor of Guam" and said that she was "not even remotely prepared." A former Bush and Palin aide has challenged the accuracy of the charge.

I've been waiting for this tell all book, cause I'm quite sure that nigga Bush done said alot worse than what is being released. You can't be from Crawford and not be an undercover racist. Which I am sure that he is. We drove through there and knew not to stop back in the day. His publicist said the book is a lie and that Latimer is lying too. My question is that if it is false, why not sue for libel?

I guess he really and truly thinks that he did a great job while in office. We went from sugar (Clinton Admin) to shit (Bush Admin) at the speed of light.

Tens of thousands rally in D.C. against federal spending

2009-09-12T13:40:00.010-05:00

Before I get started on my soap box, I have to reiterate that I am a firm believer in freedom of speech. But after this past week with the whole "you liar" thing, never has my opening quote on my blog been so true (go on go ahead & a take look @ what Sammy had to say). Although I'm sure that if myself and fellow look a likes were to march on Washington, there would be some comments made by assholes like Rush and Glen and other small time/town less well known haters like them. Some fiscal conservatives were there today doing there usual cry about government spending and how the Negro is spending all their hard earned cash. Some waved U.S. flags and some men were dressed in colonial costumes with tri-colored hats. Many carried signs addressing a host of issues. Some targeted health care with "First the IRS, Post Office, and Now Health Care" and "Obamacare makes me sick" while others pointed toward a fear of oncoming communism with slogans like "The new green is the old red," and "One czar down. 32 to go. Thank you Glenn Beck."

Really? The president is a tyrant now for wanting to equal the playing field between big business insurance and us regular people? Do you or do you not want the right to choose? I do. I want to choose my own doctor, not from a pre-scribed list of people that are on payroll for the insurance companies.

The same folks marching are the same people that didn't vote in their local elections which is just as important as the national or state elections. Probably didn't read the propositions at all just shot'em down w/o even knowing for sure about whether taxes would or wouldn't be involved. America is full of truly selfish people who are only ever concerned with numeral uno.

You claim to be conservatives, but what exactly are you conserving? it seems to me you stand for the good ol' boy system (who you know not what you know), you're against abortion, but don't want the schools teaching your sluts to practice safe sex instead of abstinence (which has never worked) you don't want to pay for welfare, but are against programs that would aid in getting your people off of it (majority of people on welfare are white women). You hate paying for prisons and the people in them and don't want to hire them, but are against programs that would teach and provide support and motivation for the rehabilitated to get an education and a job (you can't help but have repeat offenses when you have no options). Some of you can't understand what it means to be without options, well maybe that's because you've always had them, options that is. Life is easy when doors and windows of opportunity have never been closed to you (who you know not what you know). You don't want government interference, but was crying to the government when the CEOs were playing fast and loose and golf on a resort with your retirement money. So its ok for the insurance companies to play fast and loose and golf on a resort with your health and maybe even your life? You bitch about illegal aliens being here, but you're the main ones paying them cash under the table to clean your houses and mow your lawns and babysit your kids too.

Conservatives are.........."A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren".--Proverbs 6:19 "Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same".--Job 4:8 in other words, you'll eventually get whats coming to you and you'll deserve every bit of it too.

Again I ask what exactly are you conserving?

shit...that's the media for ya

2009-08-19T23:12:00.004-05:00

I have to admit to being a little sensitive when it comes the Obamas. I like them, they represent me. See there has never been anyone in the oval office that looks like me. Ya dig?

the media has been making a big deal about what the 1st lady has been wearing, most recently about the shorts she was wearing while on vacation in the grand canyon. Look at them I mean really, "practically daisy dukes?" that's a big fat lie. Michelle honey you don't have to dress like Laura Bush or Barbara Bush or even Hillary Clinton, the fact of the matter is they didn't wear shorts cause they can't or couldn't (varicose veins). In the words of Dr Dre (formerly of NWA), Black women are the strongest most hardworking people on earth. The shit I talk on records about black women is just that: shit.

I want cheaper health insurance

2009-08-19T21:40:00.002-05:00

TH 3 PRINCIPLES FOR REAL HEALTH CARE REFORM: according to my idol, President Obama.

Reduce Costs — Rising health care costs are crushing the budgets of governments, businesses, individuals and families and they must be brought under control
Guarantee Choice — Every American must have the freedom to choose their plan and doctor – including the choice of a public insurance option
Ensure Quality Care for All — All Americans must have quality and affordable health care

I'm all for health care reform, I want the cost to be a heck of a lot cheaper, I want to pick my doctor myself, not from a predetermined list. I want better preventive care, so that if I do have cancer or such, like my aunt that recently passed away, I can get help before its too late without breaking the bank. Most importantly, I don't want to have a health savings account, because I pay a monthly premium.

I hate that there have been over 400 health care mergers in the last 10 years and just two companies dominate a full third of the national market (the GOP will tell you that its a freemarket) but it seems like a monopoly to me.

Aetna & Blue Cross Blue Shield these companies including United Health have the money to pay the lobbyist, the Congessmen and the media to discredit and mislead the average Joe

Medical bills are the number one cause of bankruptcy in America. A common misconception is that the only people who are uninsured are jobless or illegal aliens who wouldn't be eligible for health care regardless, but actually most ot the millions of uninsured people do work and are authorized to work in the U.S

Don't call it a come back

2009-08-13T23:11:00.006-05:00

I for one am glad that the HATED PHILADELPHIA EAGLES AND Andy Reid ( I like old Andy he just coaches a loser team), have elected to give Michael Vick, with his sexy self, another chance to play pro football and hopefully get back to what he does best. Although, there are a bunch of haters in Philly Vick, so good luck with that, cause they'll probably hate you more than they hate T.O. Plus there are lot of pissed off people (mostly whites) that don't believe you deserve another chance. It was a smart move hooking up with Tony as your mentor, he's one of the few truly respected and well-liked black coaches in the NFL.

So I guess that means you might be in DFW w/ Philly in January watching from the sidelines when the Eagles come to Dallas to get beat down by them Boys again (How bout'em?). Of course them Boys will have already beat them in November at home in Philly.

As for PETA, I don't know what ya'lls problem is, You don't say anything to players like Jared Allen who hunts bears and hangs their heads on his mantle in his den. PETA should be advocating for all animals, horse racing, dog racing, duck,deer, and bear hunting, not just the ones considered domesticated. Besides that negro has done his time, now shut the hell up.

a star has fallen

2009-07-22T09:25:00.004-05:00

Another athlete has done a stupid thing, had sex with an unprofessional (one who does not know the score) not like the usual groupie or prostitute who does not believe the platitudes or empty comments. No he had sex with someone who thought she had it what it takes to keep an athlete interested, and probably believed every word he said to get her to drop them Vicki's. Whats interesting is that this happened to a well liked white quarterback in the NFL, that's atypical, very atypical. I mean this type of behavior has been the norm for black athletes for many years, but now its just like the swine flu, it knows no color and crosses all racial boundaries. No one is safe from this pandemic, all you can do is try not put yourself in a situation where you can get caught up. Do I think it was rape with a huge cover-up by the hotel? no, but I bet he has to come out his pocket with a whole lotta green.

Had to bring it back

2009-07-15T17:05:00.005-05:00

Do these names ring a bell?

Foley, Sanford, Edwards (politics) Jordan, McNair, Bryant (aka Master Splinter) (sports)

What do all of these men have in common? Extra-marital affairs....

I had to bring it back b/c its seems to be a running story from one month to the next. There is definitely something about that Other woman that is the bomb diggity. These men all of whom have children were willing to put all of that on the line for some THRILLS. And then everyone wants to dis the Other woman and call her mean and hateful names (some of which are usually true) when it takes 2 to tango. But lets start with the man in the mirror first; what is old boy compensating for or trying to prove? Are you wondering if you still got it? If you gotta step out then the answer is????? Probably not. Those women and all the Other women out there must have some Good Good (I know I do), and be really good at faking it. :D

Happy Birthday to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This past weekend was my birthday and as such I decided my blog should be about me in particular today (Sunday June 28) All throughout the month of June, I celebrate and do things for me especially in preparation of the BIG DAY. Well on Friday my local friends and my not so local friends and family came from out of town to party with me. But Prior to hitting the club scene, I went to a bar (don't know the name of the place in Euless) and played virtual golf with a buddy of mine and had a great time losing. Thanks for the game and the drink by the way. Later myself and the girls went to Carson's Live and got our drink and dance on, and had a really good time. Went to IHOP afterwards and fed our faces, then all of us except for 1 crashed in various places around my apartment around 0400 hours. We woke up slowly about 0800 and showered and dressed and hit the road to go to Waco to watch my babies run in a track meet. Oh, we stopped briefly at Mimi's Cafe for some very very delicious blueberry muffins. Shout out to Mimi's Cafe!!!! Then back on the highway for Waco. In Waco, it was about 1000 degrees on the track at Baylor Univ. so I like sweated off 5 pounds in a 4hr timeframe. And got super duper black from the sun too. But my babies did wonderfully and received many ribbons. Later I took them to their favorite restaurant (Golden Corral Yuck!!) and then to the movies to watch Transformers 2(which was pretty darn good by the way the second time around too). Then I was pleasantly surprised with a cake from the girls and it was very tasty. I got back on the road to go home about 2330hrs and tried desperately to stay awake on the drive back to Dallas and not kill myself or anyone else on the way there. Amazingly I arrived safely at home about 0100hrs and showered and did a backflip onto my bed where I crashed til about 0845hrs this morning. Whereby I then prepared for Church and went to Church (excellent sermon by the Bro. Norris) on the way home I stopped at Spring Creek BBQ and am now sitting watching Wimbledon 2009 on NBC (go Venus and Serena !!!!). Chilling is me....Jamie Fox will hosting the BET Awards tonight and he'll be at the Nokia in September can't wait to see you Jamie, I'll be on the front row with a surprise for you. :D

Just Beat It.....

2009-06-25T19:20:00.005-05:00

This is how I want to remember "who's bad". RIP I'll miss the old you when me and my crew used to have dance offs to 'beat it' and I sang to my first crush "I wanna rock with you". And I 'Remember the Time' when the 'Thriller' video came out and we thought we were the best dancers in the world.

Mentally Challenged teen gets 100 years

2009-06-11T19:48:00.003-05:00

This kid who has been diagnosed with mental retardation with an IQ of 47, was found fondling a 6 year old boy in his neighborhood. He was charged with 5 counts to include sexual misconduct, aggravated sexual assault, and indecency with a child and then found guilty and sentenced to 100 years in prison. What is wrong this picture? We have 100,000 NORMAL AND FULLY FUNCTIONING, SOME OF THEM QUITE SUCCESSFUL i.e... teachers, doctors, businessmen whom are pedophiles and molesters, that only get up 10 years, and get out early for good behavior. Feel free to check your local sex offender map. The article on CNN says that he confessed to fondling the little boy. Hell, he probably was clueless about the questions being asked, for 1 he can't read, can't write, and most likely doesn't speak intelligibly either at that level. This is truly sad. They probably asked him yes or no questions, like did you touch that little boy? and you know he said yes. That judge and jury should be ashamed of themselves, what? were they trying to make an example out of him? Was this a lesson to other low functioning mentally challenged people, who won't understand anyway? I remember a few years back when a teacher was charged for misconduct with a mentally challenged teen and she got 5 years and she absolutely new better. I'm not saying he shouldn't be punished, but 100 years, really?

I sincerely hope that his family appeals and some judge with more common sense will seek an alternative solution than a sentence of a 100 years.

the secret behind wealth

2009-06-10T23:26:00.007-05:00

this is the top 5 ways to be wealthy in America, pick any of these and you won't go wrong. please don't bet on number 6. only added it because someone probably believes it will happen.....

6. win the lottery (highly, extremely unlikely)
5. work, then save and invest more than you consume from your income.
4. be a criminal (drug dealer, arms dealer (federal gov?), gamble). Don't believe? ex: Kennedy, Rockefeller
3.own a business and then go public (Microsoft, Wal-Mart)
2. marry it (women control more inter-generational wealth than men)(they should've had a pre-nup ask Michael Jordan or Paul McCartney
1. inherit wealth (majority of wealthy people get it from their parents)

Feds launch a probe into Dr. Tiller's death

2009-06-06T12:18:00.010-05:00

Here we go again, people can't seem to let other people RIP or let their families grieve in peace. I'm a big advocate of freedom of speech & press and so forth, but I sincerely believe that there is also a time and place for everything. I'm against abortion, but I am for the right to choose. Dr. Tiller you went through some things (bombing of your clinic in '86, getting shot twice in '93 and finally being killed in '09) everyone has their tests, and you definitely had your fair share.

"Most anti-abortion groups avoided the funeral, having denounced Tiller's shooting. But 17 demonstrators showed up from Westboro Baptist Church, known for picketing soldiers' funerals to present its message that their deaths are God's punishment for Americans' tolerance of homosexuality.They held signs such as "God sent the shooter" and "Abortion is bloody murder."

The Rev. Donald Spitz, with the extremist anti-abortion group "Army of God," says the shooting of Tiller is no different from shooting down a madman who opens fire on a group of preschoolers."I understand that perfectly, why someone would take some action doing that," he says.Rather than quelling clinic violence, he says, the FACE Act is stoking frustration among some abortion opponents, pushing them to even greater extremes."I understand that anger," he says. "You know children are dying, and you want to do something. And just, you know, people just can't take it anymore. That might just drive them to it. So I think the pro-abortion people brought this on themselves by forcing the politicians to pass these laws."Spitz has called those who kill abortion providers heroes, and he says he sheds no tears for Tiller."He was the murderer, and as far as I'm concerned, he reaped what he sowed," he says.
For those of you wondering what law(s) the the good Reverend is referring to, FACE (Freedom Access to Clinic Entrances 1994) was passed to prevent harassment of personnel and clients at abortion clinics. So basically it forced Mr. Roeder (shooter) to go to extremes like attending the same church as Doctor Tiller to do his harassing. I can not believe that this guy (the Rev) truly believes that there is a correlation a freaking distinct similarity between a school shooter and an abortion doctor---get the fuck out here. this is truly bigotry at it finest

work in progress.......

at what age are you responsible for your own actions?

2009-06-03T23:14:00.007-05:00

I had trouble deciding what I wanted to talk about, it was a toss up between 4 kids being charged as adults for sexually assaulting another kid. Or man advertises on Craigslist for another man to rape his wife. Again it was a struggle to decide which one to choose. But ultimately I chose the kids, because well they are the future.

Like I was saying I was reading on CNN.com that 4 teen boys age 14, were being tried as adults for allegedly sexually assaulting a 13 yr old boy, in the school locker room in Florida. They supposedly took turns holding the kid down and sodomized him with broomsticks and hockey sticks. Apparently the assaults took place several times over a period of about 2 months in front of other kids too. Other kids!!! No-one, not the witnesses, or the victim reported the incidents. It didn't even come out until the victim got fed up and fought the kids in front of the coach outside. When questioned by the coach about the fight, the victim admitted to being fed up with them other boys jumping on him. Now I don't know about kids now a days, but if stuff like that happened when I was at school and I saw I would jumped in and tried to help the kid and if that didn't work, I would have told a teacher or somebody.

Now get this, the defendants attorney's think that those kids should be tried as juveniles because they all come from upstanding communities and families. One of the mothers of the defendants said for the judge to dismiss the charges because her son was going to college. So, I guess if the defendants were from the hood it would be A-okay to try them as adults.

But more importantly, what would make you remain silent to something like that, this isn't your typical bully taking your lunch money from you. This is punks taking your dignity and probably your sense of self-worth too. And where were the coaches and staff/faculty when all of this was going on? And why would these kids do this to another kid? they had nothing else better to do?

I guess I have 3 questions: Whose the enabler? and Whose responsible? or Does the blame belong to both?

society? boys will just be boys...they'll outgrow it
TV, video games? that's the band wagon used lately
peer pressure?

Anyone? you? you? you?

You are a sore loser. Nike gassed you up for real

2009-06-02T13:20:00.007-05:00

I love it when these role models give me something to talk about.

“It’s hard for me to congratulate somebody after you just lose to them,” he said. “I’m a winner. It’s not being a poor sport or anything like that. If somebody beats you up, you’re not going to congratulate them. That does not make sense to me. I’m a competitor. That’s what I do. It does not make sense for me to go over and shake somebody’s hand.”--Lebron James

I mean really, now if this had been Kobe mind you I don't even like Master Splinter, he would have been nailed to the cross for those statements.....and kids look up to this dude and want to be be this guy?.......you are so right Lebron, shaking somebody's hand would be too much like the right thing to do.......enough said.

Go Orlando Go!!!!!

we can't let go of race, cause ya'll still putting it in our face

2009-06-02T09:31:00.004-05:00

I could go on and on about how racism still exist in this day and age, simply because it does. Case in point: here's a few a names, guess who's to blame? I'm a take you back too..... I had to take it there, because Rush and his faithful followers said it was all in our head.

Susan Smith
Bonnie Sweeten
Emmit Til
The Scottsboro brothers
Omar Edwards (case of mistaken identity right???? no racial profiling there)
James Byrd Jr.

I could go on for days, but I don't want to belabor the point.

To White Pride Worldwide, we keeping track too, now how about them apples?

Gay marriage for eveyone Cheney?

2009-06-02T08:15:00.005-05:00

Former VP Cheney, I don't know what it is, but lately everthing you say and do annoys me, and it's as if you are directing all your statements, stupid statements to me!!! I could be wrong or just sensitive, but I doubt it. You see I think you had a muzzle on your mouth for the past 9 years, when you were selected by G.W. Bush who put it there as part of the agreement as running mate and so forth. Now that you been released from GB so to speak you got a lot to say and the media is just eating it up. Having said that, I feel much better now and can get on with my post.

Now you talking about how you suddenly believe that everyone should have the right to get married to anyone regardless of sex, but here's the kicker, it should be totally up to the states to make that decision. Hello, did you forget about DOMA (defense of marriage act 1996) and the Full Faith and Credit Clause of the Constitution? Correct me if I'm wrong, but that sounds like Federal gov. involvement to me. Don't you realize that some things can't be left up to the state, this is just like Prohibition, women's suffrage, and Civil Rights Act of 1964, and abortion. This has the same explosive potential for nationwide protest as any of the listed above. You can't leave it to the states, because eventually probably sooner than later, a lot of people will probably die behind it and then maybe you'll think the federal government should intervene. Or maybe not.

I commend you on doing such a good job of having your daughter keep it a secret that she's gay, until you knew you were selected for VP.

we had bad stuff going on, we just hid it better

2009-06-01T11:52:00.003-05:00

a friend of mine sent me this and it hit home to me, how true this was and how true it wasn't take a look...

Pro-Life but still a murderer

2009-05-31T18:32:00.004-05:00

You can always count on someone to mess up the best laid plans, I'm positive that anti-abortionist are slapping their foreheads, wondering how this could have happened at a time when a new Justice of the Supreme Court is being selected. A man shot and killed a Doctor in Kansas whom just happened to perform late term abortions for women. He was killed while at church. Wow he not only took a life, (Mr. Pro-Life) but did it in God's house at the same time. Now I don't know about you, but this doesn't sway me towards their corner. I don't believe that anyone life is more important than the next. But it seems to me you would promote Pro-Life, by trying to preserve life through non-violent means versus violent. I'm just saying......Now I'm adding to this because I don't want to come across as grouping all anti-abrtionist as violent, but you know what they say, it only takes one bad apple to spoil the whole barrel.

playin it cool tour

2009-05-30T10:01:00.007-05:00

Last night, I had the pleasure of attending the Playin it Cool Tour w/ Anthony Hamilton, Musiq Soul Child & Chrisette Michelle. All three artist performed using a LIVE band. It was great all of them are genuinely gifted, no studio voices in the building at all, just pure unadultered GOD given talent. Mr. Anthony Hamilton, you and that voice deserve so much more respect than you receive. I had a wonderful time. I recommend to one and all from all walks of life to check them out. You won't be disappointed.

NFC South

2009-05-23T15:47:00.000-05:00

I was recently reading online at one of my favorite sites. The NFL site, and they're currently taking an opinion poll on which team will win the NFC South. And surprisingly, the voters had selected Falcons over the Panthers, the Bucs and the Saints too! I'm curious to know how they came up with that decision. Don't get me wrong I realize that they finished 11-5 which is pretty decent, but they're not going to win the division this year. I think the Saints just might pull a 42. Who wants to bet?

Guantanamo closure

2009-05-22T09:46:00.002-05:00

You would think former VP Cheney would get somewhere and sit down, you really didn't accomplish anything noteworthy (however you did some memorable stuff for which you will always be infamous for) while you were in office, yet and still your time is up and you still feel the need to be critical of our current President and his decisions, never mind the Sec Def that you highly recommended and supported for nomination, stands behind the current President's decision to close GB 100%. Never mind the former President himself had already started releasing prisoners from GB himself, over 100 prisoners too if I'm not mistaken. The personnel in GB are most likely in no way a threat to our national security if they come the U.S. for imprisonment, there has never been an escape from a Super Max prison, regardless of what the movies might have you believe. Is it that you enjoy instilling fear in the general populace of America? I say general meaning, us regular folks that don't have access to INTEL and can only use the media for knowledge of what's happening. In fact we have more home grown terrorists here in the U.S. running around free, than elsewhere. You should take a leaf from former VP Gore, and get like him.

Terminator

2009-05-21T13:44:00.001-05:00

I just saw Terminator Salvation and I have to say I was extremely impressed. It had everything a Terminator fan wants, action, violence, lots of graphics, oh and Arnold too. I believe thats the best kept secret about the whole movie. No-one knew, or at least no-one I that I know knew. Regardless, even before Arnold makes an appearance in the movie, its still pretty darn good. I give it 4 stars. Can't wait for the next installment..........

Abuse is as abuse does

2009-05-20T11:04:00.001-05:00

It amazes me how many people are still angry at Michael Vick about the dog fights that took place on his property. And I just don't get it. I mean there has always been a double standard on the value of an animal's life, and what behavior is acceptable in their treatment. Cock fights, dog fights, horse races, dog races, etc, many people will claim there is no similarity in mistreatment, based on the fact that 2 of the above are legalized and are very lucrative sports for certain individuals. It's okay to run a dog or horse into the ground for sport (gambling), and not be labeled as an abuser but a sportsman. Hello, Humane society, the animal is still getting worked over just by a human instead of another animal. Its okay for us to shoot Bambi and her siblings or Daffy duck and cousins, because its a sport. The same goes for types of drugs and drug usage. Marijuana and cocaine have been chosen by the government as illegal forms of drugs, and anyone caught abusing them or selling or manufacturing them will be in a world of trouble. However, a well known media figure has a problem with prescription drugs and its okay, he just needs help. A drug is a drug, whether its a prescription or not. Same as abuse is abuse, whether its legalized abuse or not.

Always selling something...

2009-05-19T10:10:00.001-05:00

As a kid I always thought that hustlers were men, I mean I couldn't fathom a woman always going around harassing people to buy stuff. Call me sexist but it just seemed like a man thing. But now I know better, and I also know its a very good strategy too!! Everyone has at least one relative who has been selling stuff as long as you can remember. I do too! Inside I want to run as far and fast as I can when I see her coming, but in reality I say hello and listen to her spiel, and then I purchase it (whatever she's selling) even when I don't want it and I go home wondering how I got caught up. And don't just think that it's b/c she's blood, I have 2 close acquaintances that get me everytime too. And outside of Walmart, the little girls get me too. Yet just the other day some boys from the CHS football team tried to get me to buy some crap and I said no. I'm not sure if I just stick up for my fellow chicks or just can't say no b/c I feel sorry for them b/c men always seem to have an advantage over women. Who knows, maybe it's a combination of both?

2D Disappointment

2009-05-18T17:05:00.001-05:00

I'm not sure how to phrase this without seeming disloyal to my local teams, but jeepers, someone please tell me why our football and basketball team despite having quality coaches and players, can't catch a break. The playoffs are a given, I got that, we always make it to the playoffs, but its that fricking round 2 of the playoffs that we can't seem to get passed. Regardless, year after year I get my hopes up, I put my money where my is and I end up being let down (my hopes that is) .

The number 2 lady

2009-05-16T16:38:00.002-05:00

What is it about the number 2 lady? Why do men have to her? It seems that certain men whom already have a number 1 lady at home, are constantly on the lookout for number 2. I want to know how men go about looking for number 2 and what qualities are men searching for in particular? A certain height or weight requirement? Or is it just something to do, you know the cake and eat it too concept? Or maybe the man just isn't happy at home, and in that case, why not leave?
