It's been a long time since I've posted a blog, so why not today?<br /><br />Let me start by saying that I have to be honest with myself before I can be honest with everyone else around me.<br /><br />Life can be incredibly stressful. So stressful in fact that with the right(or wrong) set of circumstances, a life altering or ending decision can be made that affects more people than you realize. I've been there. It's not a good place to be. Those that have to deal with the emotional fall out will never be the same, nor will they treat you the same.<br /><br /><br />I thought I would miss how things used to be so black and white. Grey is where I live right now. Grey skies. Grey, grey, grey. The rain in my city that has been non stop for the past week is a mirror of how I'm feeling. Yet, I had an epiphany while I walked for several miles in the dampness of a fog which can only be described as the taste of dew in the forest when it gets stuck in your throat. A walk. No destination. Just right foot, left foot, right foot. No thinking. Oblivious to everything but stop lights and traffic signals. It was daunting and purifying simultaneously. Why haven't I ever felt like this before? Did standing on the brink of the unknown open up senses that I once thought had abandoned me? What does it mean to have clenched teeth and fists without anyone to be angry with, but yourself? Who does that? Am I crazy? Have I been projecting my anger onto those in my circle? Probably so. Fuck!<br /><br />People passing by reminded me that as much I wanted to be by myself and in the moment, there are billions of people on this planet. Buses with the screeching sounds of brakes and the stench from exhaust fumes were irritations. And I have no idea why. Some young lady attempted to get my attention and as me " Are you a registered voter?" I replied with an affirmative response and walked away. Rude! and I didn't give a rat's ass.<br /><br />I'm cold and my clothes are soaked. Coffee should help. Getgo is a block or so away. Walkin faster with a purpose. Left foot, right foot, left foot. "Fuck you, dude" I need the french vanilla dispenser. I pour a cup, it spills. WTF?! Schleprock or Murphy's Law. The frozen chicken should be thawed out. ESPN on the little TV's are saying Cleveland's NBA lottery picks don't mean shit. True dat. Random thoughts. <br /><br />It's cold in this motherfucker. They have the AC on. UGH! Two(24)oz cups later, I'm out.<br /><br />$2.25 to get on the RTA. For one way? Rip off! Bitch, I don't want to hear your entire cell phone conversation. And she's wearing pajama pants. Punk ass kid. It's fuckin forty something degrees outside.<br /><br />Three streets from the house. Heart racing. Anxious. Nervous. <br /><br />I have forgotten how to talk from the heart. Punk. Grow a set of balls. I used to be able to do that pretty easily. What happened? Fuck. Shit. Damn.<br /><br />Orange light is on. <br /><br />I got nothing. I.am.still.a.fucking.coward.<br /><br />Uncoventional road to discovery that still has me petrified.<br /><br />Open the door. Open your mouth. Man up.<br /><br />I have a headache.<br /><br />Love life, love me, love friends and family, love her. <br /><br />Still cold. Skitty is warm. <br /><br />Lost.dc_speakshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06357394041753433558noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7660332642942740500.post-21392675243086686232009-03-03T09:55:00.002-05:002009-03-03T10:02:19.618-05:00Lost Siblings Reunion Day!We interrupt your day for this urgent news bulletin. No efforts have been spared in making dreams come true. Our investigations have uncovered yet more joyous siblings that were brought together by sheer chance.<br /><br />Our mission statement is all about the family and we will never give up on helping the world.<br /><br />I know that some of us have heard that we have a twin somewhere in the world. We may never get to see the person that has striking resemblance to our facial features. So we will try to dedicate various posts to bring loved ones together and reunite siblings that otherwise may not have ever had a chance to bond. Recent articles have proven that siblings can indeed meet, fall in love and marry. ewwwwwwww!<br /><br />This is the philanthropic side of D.C. I know it's hard to believe but I must help save the world one set of siblings at a time.<br /><br />For the next installment, we give you:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBRa25qFApQ602TLiH0I5fGC7wQkaJCelpZC5kHG4r9GG8ZFukt9SgjTGKIe4vuqBhckkQwy8wYI2-lHKIItmr1DoOo8pAKncRf0VBIR5mREM7d1ZJno-CzjavUjjsL-YDpq8q4dEqujcD/s1600-h/Untitled11.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 280px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBRa25qFApQ602TLiH0I5fGC7wQkaJCelpZC5kHG4r9GG8ZFukt9SgjTGKIe4vuqBhckkQwy8wYI2-lHKIItmr1DoOo8pAKncRf0VBIR5mREM7d1ZJno-CzjavUjjsL-YDpq8q4dEqujcD/s400/Untitled11.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308975796488471426" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Lisa Bonet and Captain Jack Sparrow</div><br /><br />If you know of any siblings that are looking for their family, please notify us immediately.dc_speakshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06357394041753433558noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7660332642942740500.post-1613224740067511392009-02-27T08:41:00.003-05:002009-02-27T08:47:55.145-05:00Ladies, please be on the lookout for...<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTfmVFv9BYmUT1mxQTNUGHeoqPS1v2vVgj2hiyLUwifAAiZzC72uSclFtLFaXFDbhxKXS1IZn-d5HUDyibPwKXRTx5eza687m3LQFqYapl67vARDOV04BMn5s9GSa-EY217dKH6g3t7qaN/s1600-h/scam+alert.htm"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 368px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTfmVFv9BYmUT1mxQTNUGHeoqPS1v2vVgj2hiyLUwifAAiZzC72uSclFtLFaXFDbhxKXS1IZn-d5HUDyibPwKXRTx5eza687m3LQFqYapl67vARDOV04BMn5s9GSa-EY217dKH6g3t7qaN/s400/scam+alert.htm" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307472153369140242" border="0" /></a><br />this very clever scheme to take advantage of women of all shapes, sizes, color and age.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: center;">Happy Friday, peeps!<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">This has been my public service announcement!</span><br /></div></div></div>dc_speakshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06357394041753433558noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7660332642942740500.post-1321369908817083092009-02-26T12:02:00.002-05:002009-02-26T12:15:12.158-05:00Here comes trouble...This is a blow off some steam post. The people that would need to see it probably won't and if they did, wouldn't think it applied to them anyway.<br /><br />Recently, I've been thinking about toxic people and holding onto toxic relationships. It's not a good look. I am more than familiar with the sayin"just because you grow up with someone doesn't make them your friend". Truer words have never been spoken.<br /><br />Most people don't expect trouble in the guise of family and friends. But experience has taught me this. Everyone is capable of verbally, emotionally, physically and mentally dragging you through the dirt. We think that family would normally keep it 100%. Wrong! We think that our friends wouldn't betray us. Wronger! Hell, our friends are by choice. We can't pick family.<br /><br />So I say this to all toxic people in or around me and mine.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Stay the fuck away!

I'll post it for the purpose of getting some male and female feedback. Personally I think it's extremely lopsided.<br /><br />What do y'alls think?<br /><br /><br />Guys cry because...<br /><br />1. Girls screw them over...<br />2. They just got hit in the balls...<br />3. They're about to die...<br />4. Their heart is broken...<br />5. Because they are true men.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">GIRLS:</span> If you see a guy crying, hug him close and hold him up as he gets over the pain of getting kicked in the nuts. Tell him he's not going to die, and if he's crying over a girl...hug him and kiss him and let him know you won't screw him over and break his heart like the last girl did. Guys just want to know that our girls will be there for us to support us when we need them and help us get our mind off the pain of heartbreak, getting kicked in the balls, and knowing we're gonna die.<br /><br /><br />Girls cry because...<br /><br />1. They're sad...<br />2. They're scared...<br />3. They're nervous...<br />4. They're frustrated...<br />5. They're missing someone...<br />6. They're alone...<br />7. They're PMSing...<br />8. They're pregnant...<br />9. Their heart is broken...<br />10. They're in love...<br />11. Their souls have been torn...<br />12. THEY MET A BOY THEY CANT HAVE...<br />13. They fell in love with a boy...<br />14. They hurt so bad inside...<br />15. They're mad...<br />16. Something bad happened...<br />17. JUST BECAUSE THEY FEEL LIKE CRYING...<br />18. Because they got hit in the chest.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">BOYS:</span> If any girl you know is crying and you see them, don't just stand there and say you're sorry. Hold them and tell them everything will be okay, even if you have no idea what is wrong with them. Girls just want to be held and know that someone cares about them.dc_speakshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06357394041753433558noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7660332642942740500.post-49494060151100552272008-06-16T09:54:00.006-05:002008-11-14T02:30:55.585-05:00Man's best friend...<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhb3Fmd6F9DJ7ydUhOfqWqSWqv-MzNc9eABCdfsakWEEP-jLgQ2QnPggQJCkJY8SL8qhjxG2_OfYV_0oomjT-9lLRONhW8OxBgLrQ0Rrgmnnfes0VkbeHEpnzD13Hy7N9zvUuqaG0g1tNCv/s1600-h/Milo3%20on%206-11-08.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212493365710816226" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhb3Fmd6F9DJ7ydUhOfqWqSWqv-MzNc9eABCdfsakWEEP-jLgQ2QnPggQJCkJY8SL8qhjxG2_OfYV_0oomjT-9lLRONhW8OxBgLrQ0Rrgmnnfes0VkbeHEpnzD13Hy7N9zvUuqaG0g1tNCv/s400/Milo3%2520on%25206-11-08.JPG" border="0" /></a> Milo<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr51DKzTxnMR_SaywcrR_eNl3stKxoH4IEJfhZSgN4qQ0E_AcOjbHLxUvlQE547J5l3YiqjHzGJnHIZgInbZ5B7X5jOLUb-iMNQwYOkU7Jyf9o8PAtyFJcFSn47GUa7rwTsT6b8ohJP9FE/s1600-h/Milo4%20on%206-11-08.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212493372192353442" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr51DKzTxnMR_SaywcrR_eNl3stKxoH4IEJfhZSgN4qQ0E_AcOjbHLxUvlQE547J5l3YiqjHzGJnHIZgInbZ5B7X5jOLUb-iMNQwYOkU7Jyf9o8PAtyFJcFSn47GUa7rwTsT6b8ohJP9FE/s400/Milo4%2520on%25206-11-08.JPG" border="0" /></a>Milo and Lucky<br /><br />I am still shocked at how close I am with dogs.

I am excited to present once again POT LUCK FRIDAY.</strong><br /><br />What I would like to do is get some feed back from some non blogging readers or some bloggers that don't have the time to blog right now. An open forum, if you will. Anything and everything in love, life, the world(personal or global), or whatever.<br /><br />There is no topic off limits! I know that relationship posts are common but be more specific. What element of the relationships? Finding one, keeping one, how to get out of one..all are up for discussion and friendly debate.<br /><br />I am an information junkie! Garbage in--garbage out! But, I still like to process information. So, I'd like to try to start a day where the readers are in control of every single question, we take the comment that is posted right before you, answer their comment question, then post your own question for the next person. We can discuss it in a civil manner. If it goes well, then it could be really fun. <strong>I must exercise more moderation on the personal topics comments. I got a few emails from some participants and I must agree that some of the comments were hurtful and should be handled off line...privately. Let's have fun and keep it relatively clean...please---thank you.</strong><br /><br />Have a fantastic weekend and let's come up with some great questions to kick around the campfire!<br /><br />So without further delay.....who is up for the challenge, part 25?dc_speakshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06357394041753433558noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7660332642942740500.post-5032440549421229622008-06-04T07:49:00.003-05:002008-11-14T02:30:56.365-05:00In case you didn't know...History has been and is being made.<br /><br />With that said, let me present to some and introduce to others<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6mn7pWGDl0WlvcFLkxbsX-FTPlGOoTbL-ZWHjlalRB-SLkEigCn2ZNMqN5GoPp2tTO6MoT7YgTCNCdPLpcMd23sP-3RIUxjOXPgJe3Gwwc4FfA9LMsMUa1ZSCd8jYpSGgKzziZASAYWVi/s1600-h/03barackmichelleobama.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6mn7pWGDl0WlvcFLkxbsX-FTPlGOoTbL-ZWHjlalRB-SLkEigCn2ZNMqN5GoPp2tTO6MoT7YgTCNCdPLpcMd23sP-3RIUxjOXPgJe3Gwwc4FfA9LMsMUa1ZSCd8jYpSGgKzziZASAYWVi/s400/03barackmichelleobama.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5208008063606039506" /></a><br /><br /><strong>The 44th President of the United States.<br /><br />President Barack Obama & First Lady Michelle Obama</strong><br /><br />Enjoy your day, fam!dc_speakshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06357394041753433558noreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7660332642942740500.post-41988696058815305562008-05-15T05:50:00.002-05:002008-05-15T05:55:00.410-05:00There just has to be a sucker...born every second. <br /><br />I'm amazed that the individuals that send out the money order, bank fraud scam can be so creative.<br /><br />Here's the newest installment from the land of tricksters.<br /><br /><br />From Mrs Anita Adams<br />N [38 Rue Des Martyrs Cocody<br />Abidjan,Cote d'Ivoire<br /><br /><br /><br />ATTN:<br />DEAREST ONE OF GOD<br /><br />I am the above named person from Kuwait. I am married to Mr Adams Johnson,<br />who worked with Kuwait embassy in Ivory Coast for nine years before he died<br />in the year 2004. We were married for eleven years without a child. He died<br />after a brief illness that lasted for only four days.<br /><br />Before his death we were both born again Christian. Since his death I<br />decided not to remarry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the<br />Bible is against. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of<br />$2. 5 Million (Two Million Five Hundred U.S. Dollars) in the bank here in<br />Abidjan in suspense account.<br /><br />Presently, the fund is still with the bank. Recently, my Doctor told me<br />that i have serious sickness which is cancer problem. The one that disturbs<br />me most is my stroke sickness. Having known my condition I decided to<br />donate this fund to a church or individual that will utilize this money the<br />way I am going to instruct herein. I want a church that will use this fund<br />for orphanages, widows, propagating the word of God and to endeavour that<br />the house of God is maintained.<br /><br />The Bible made us to understand that blessed is the hand that giveth. I<br />took this decision because I don’t have any child that will inherit this<br />money and my husband relatives are not Christians and I don’t want my<br />husband’s efforts to be used by unbelievers. I don’t want a situation where<br />this money will be used in an ungodly way. This is why I am taking this<br />decision. I am not afraid of death hence i know where I am going. I know<br />that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord. Exodus 14 VS 14 says that<br />the Lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace.<br /><br />I don’t need any telephone communication in this regard because of my<br />health hence the presence of my husband’s relatives is around me always I<br />don't want them to know about this development. With God all things are<br />possible. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of<br />the bank here in Abidjan. I want you and the church to always pray for me<br />because the Lord is my shepherd. My happiness is that I lived a life of a<br />worthy Christian. Whoever that wants to serve the Lord must serve him in<br />spirit and Truth. Please always be prayerful all through your life.<br /><br />Contact me on the above e-mail address for more information’s, any delay in<br />your reply will give me room in sourcing another church or individual for<br />this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I<br />Stated herein. Hoping to receive your<br />reply.<br /><br />Remain blessed in the Lord.<br />Yours in Christ,<br />Mrs Anita Adams<br /><br />Now maybe it's just me, but trying to use God in this manner really pisses me off.<br /><br />Please be careful, fam.<br /><br />This has been my Public Service Announcement!dc_speakshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06357394041753433558noreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7660332642942740500.post-43763734427702669932008-05-14T07:03:00.000-05:002008-11-14T02:30:56.818-05:00The return of WTF Wednesdays...again!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWj7Opde95JoqU1Upxm_1JPHi5ubWvoGs5Ui1WXV5dOYC25x4ktk-hX7KhscpMB4UY3NfJF6daJjdSl3h3nGh_fcyFSOEWIBIaZ2M0Ew1XfI2y4972bVptHsLbGfKWqGt5PmOINlYiJSMB/s1600-h/question_mark%2520(WinCE).jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWj7Opde95JoqU1Upxm_1JPHi5ubWvoGs5Ui1WXV5dOYC25x4ktk-hX7KhscpMB4UY3NfJF6daJjdSl3h3nGh_fcyFSOEWIBIaZ2M0Ew1XfI2y4972bVptHsLbGfKWqGt5PmOINlYiJSMB/s400/question_mark%2520(WinCE).jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5075537440334383826" border="0" /></a><br />Keeping in line with the "theme days" so that I don't drain all of my reserve tank dry from working on book projects, recruiting, and blogging, there shall be another instituted theme day.
