Life note

2011-05-18T18:54:00.004-05:00

Today was a not so good day. It's been a long time since I've posted a blog, so why not today?

Let me start by saying that I have to be honest with myself before I can be honest with everyone else around me.

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.

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!

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.

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.

It's cold in this motherfucker. They have the AC on. UGH! Two(24)oz cups later, I'm out.

$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.

Three streets from the house. Heart racing. Anxious. Nervous.

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.

Orange light is on.

I got nothing. I.am.still.a.fucking.coward.

Uncoventional road to discovery that still has me petrified.

Open the door. Open your mouth. Man up.

I have a headache.

Love life, love me, love friends and family, love her.

Still cold. Skitty is warm.

Lost.

Lost Siblings Reunion Day!

2009-03-03T09:55:00.002-05:00

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.

Our mission statement is all about the family and we will never give up on helping the world.

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!

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.

For the next installment, we give you:

Lisa Bonet and Captain Jack Sparrow

If you know of any siblings that are looking for their family, please notify us immediately.

Ladies, please be on the lookout for...

this very clever scheme to take advantage of women of all shapes, sizes, color and age.

Happy Friday, peeps!

This has been my public service announcement!

Here comes trouble...

2009-02-26T12:02:00.002-05:00

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.

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.

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.

So I say this to all toxic people in or around me and mine.

Stay the fuck away! Period!

This has been my Public Service Announcement.

As a native Clevelander and a hometown fan of all sports...

I find this commercial to be quite entertaining.

Something needs to happen to bring excitement back to Cleveland Sports fans. Although I don't think basketball fans would find it too appealing.

There is no set subject. Anything that is on your mind. It is an open forum where the first lines of each comment start with WTF...now that could mean what the frick, where the frick, why the frick, who the frick, etc., but each comment should start with WTF.

Have fun and keep it as clean as possible, fam.

Have a fantastic day!

At 11:00:35PM, it was called...

2008-11-05T10:04:00.002-05:00

SAY HELLO TO MR. PRESIDENT

THE 44TH PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA

for those of you whose support he did not yet earn, or did not vote for him...he is still your president.

Let us not forget this moment in history and remain vigilant in holding those people that represent us accountable. The work is not done, it is just the beginning.

YES WE CAN!

WTF Wednesday...The Return (Again)!

Could it be any more offensive?

2008-10-17T05:58:00.002-05:00

The October newsletter went out to about 200 members of the Chaffey Community Republican Women, Federated, based in Upland.

"I apologize to anyone who was offended because that was not my intent," said club President Diane Fedele. "It was poor judgment on my part. It was strictly an attempt to point out the outrageousness of Obama's statement that he doesn't look like all those other presidents on the dollar bills."

The typical non-apology, apology!

This must be addressed with action!

The easiest thing to do would be to get angry and do nothing, the important thing to do is to VOTE!

If you didn't get an opportunity to hear about the drama on the view yesterday, let me give you a glimpse.

Sherri gave Elisabeth "da bizness" and exposed the elephant in the room relating to John McCain's judgment and passion for his first wife.

You Go Girl!

Since it was spoken on a huge national tv show by a supporter representing her own personal views and not as an official spokesperson of the Obama campaign, it can't be spun to come back on him.

I was waiting to see how long it would take for someone to speak on it.

Sorry, y'all.

Why We Cry...email (Repost)

2008-06-17T07:08:00.000-05:00

I thought this was funny and obviously written by a clueless person. I'll post it for the purpose of getting some male and female feedback. Personally I think it's extremely lopsided.

What do y'alls think?

Guys cry because...

1. Girls screw them over...
2. They just got hit in the balls...
3. They're about to die...
4. Their heart is broken...
5. Because they are true men.

GIRLS: 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.

Girls cry because...

1. They're sad...
2. They're scared...
3. They're nervous...
4. They're frustrated...
5. They're missing someone...
6. They're alone...
7. They're PMSing...
8. They're pregnant...
9. Their heart is broken...
10. They're in love...
11. Their souls have been torn...
12. THEY MET A BOY THEY CANT HAVE...
13. They fell in love with a boy...
14. They hurt so bad inside...
15. They're mad...
16. Something bad happened...
17. JUST BECAUSE THEY FEEL LIKE CRYING...
18. Because they got hit in the chest.

BOYS: 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.

Man's best friend...

Milo

Milo and Lucky

I am still shocked at how close I am with dogs. During the majority of my life, I have been a fan of cats.

Interestingly enough, over the last couple of years, I have become quite fond of the bond between a dog and his master.

It probably intensified when I got close to "Lucy" from hanging out at Cortney Gee's place and kennels. She was the first dog that I fell in love with.

Now I co-own 5 beautiful dogs and think "I finally get it"

To the people that don't own or like pets, let me tell you, there is nothing like the bond between unconditional love from your pet and you.

This has been my personal Public Service Announcement!

My Journalistic Hero has passed...

Yesterday I was too stunned to blog about Tim Russert.

He was an incredibly gifted man whose presence will be missed in our home every single Sunday, without fail.

I looked at him as a guide to something that I aspire to be...The Ultimate Information Broker

My prayers go out to all that are impacted by his passing.

Pot Luck Friday...the return

2008-06-13T08:30:00.000-05:00

Dis shole duz look good!

This forum is officially a smash hit. I am excited to present once again POT LUCK FRIDAY.

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.

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.

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. 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.

Have a fantastic weekend and let's come up with some great questions to kick around the campfire!

So without further delay.....who is up for the challenge, part 25?

In case you didn't know...

2008-06-04T07:49:00.003-05:00

History has been and is being made.

With that said, let me present to some and introduce to others

The 44th President of the United States.

President Barack Obama & First Lady Michelle Obama

Enjoy your day, fam!

There just has to be a sucker...

2008-05-15T05:50:00.002-05:00

born every second.

I'm amazed that the individuals that send out the money order, bank fraud scam can be so creative.

Here's the newest installment from the land of tricksters.

From Mrs Anita Adams
N [38 Rue Des Martyrs Cocody
Abidjan,Cote d'Ivoire

ATTN:
DEAREST ONE OF GOD

I am the above named person from Kuwait. I am married to Mr Adams Johnson,
who worked with Kuwait embassy in Ivory Coast for nine years before he died
in the year 2004. We were married for eleven years without a child. He died
after a brief illness that lasted for only four days.

Before his death we were both born again Christian. Since his death I
decided not to remarry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the
Bible is against. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of
$2. 5 Million (Two Million Five Hundred U.S. Dollars) in the bank here in
Abidjan in suspense account.

Presently, the fund is still with the bank. Recently, my Doctor told me
that i have serious sickness which is cancer problem. The one that disturbs
me most is my stroke sickness. Having known my condition I decided to
donate this fund to a church or individual that will utilize this money the
way I am going to instruct herein. I want a church that will use this fund
for orphanages, widows, propagating the word of God and to endeavour that
the house of God is maintained.

The Bible made us to understand that blessed is the hand that giveth. I
took this decision because I don’t have any child that will inherit this
money and my husband relatives are not Christians and I don’t want my
husband’s efforts to be used by unbelievers. I don’t want a situation where
this money will be used in an ungodly way. This is why I am taking this
decision. I am not afraid of death hence i know where I am going. I know
that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord. Exodus 14 VS 14 says that
the Lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace.

I don’t need any telephone communication in this regard because of my
health hence the presence of my husband’s relatives is around me always I
don't want them to know about this development. With God all things are
possible. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of
the bank here in Abidjan. I want you and the church to always pray for me
because the Lord is my shepherd. My happiness is that I lived a life of a
worthy Christian. Whoever that wants to serve the Lord must serve him in
spirit and Truth. Please always be prayerful all through your life.

Contact me on the above e-mail address for more information’s, any delay in
your reply will give me room in sourcing another church or individual for
this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I
Stated herein. Hoping to receive your
reply.

Remain blessed in the Lord.
Yours in Christ,
Mrs Anita Adams

Now maybe it's just me, but trying to use God in this manner really pisses me off.

Please be careful, fam.

Have you lost your fucking mind?

I know that the speech given by Sen Barack Obama was a powerful one. It has also been addressed by Sec of State Condoleeza Rice.

Sometimes I reflect on the injustices and I become an "Angry Black Man"...I'm just sayin'

Does that make me un-American or un-Patriotic?

2008-03-21T12:19:00.001-05:00

I love the internet. I truly do. Where else can a person give life to a story and within 24 hours, millions of people around the world can have access to the same piece of information.

I feel compelled to share with you a tad bit more of the extremely controversial MSM video not seen of Pastor Wright

With all this information at our disposal, let's not be led like sheep.

This is my public service announcement!

Happy Resurrection Day!

A Picture Says Millions of Words

2008-03-08T11:33:00.004-05:00

I found this picture over at The Huffington Post and I absolutely love it.

It's very clear to me that Sen Barack Obama doesn't want to engage in the same type of political tactics as his democratic opponent HRC. As I am not a paid member of the campaign, I am capable of expressing myself however I choose. Yet, I will not call HRC out of her name, I will not diminish the accomplishments of her tenure in public office, I will not give in to my personal feelings on her campaign spins, instead I will only become an information broker and allow readers to draw their own conclusions.

I'm still awaiting a very public apology from Mainstream Media and HRC regarding the NAFTA Gate accusations to Sen Barack Obama, since the Canadian Government has already exonerated him and his advisor. Having multiple witnesses to support a call being made to a Canadian official from the HRC campaign, not Mr. Obama's has to be publicly acknowledged. There was no mistake at the damages caused by the MSM(mainstream media)attention to the matter. Sweeping the updated version under the rug, without giving it the immeasurable attention the negative story cast...is well questionable for lack of a better word.

here's an excerpt:
"Mr Brodie ... stopped to chat with several journalists, and was surrounded by a group from CTV.... The conversation turned to the pledges to renegotiate the North American free-trade agreement made by the two Democratic contenders, Mr Obama and New York Senator Hillary Clinton.

Mr Brodie, apparently seeking to play down the potential impact on Canada, told the reporters the threat was not serious, and that someone from Ms Clinton's campaign had even contacted Canadian diplomats to tell them not to worry because the Nafta threats were mostly political posturing."

According to this story in The Globe and Mail which is the equivalent to the AP in the U.S.

Another point of reference the 140 pardons granted by President Clinton on the last day of his term.

Here's another interesting excerpt:
"Former president Clinton issued 140 pardons on his last day in office, including several to controversial figures, such as commodities trader Rich, then a fugitive on tax evasion charges. Rich's ex-wife, Denise, contributed $2,000 in 1999 to Hillary Clinton's Senate campaign; $5,000 to a related political action committee; and $450,000 to a fund set up to build the Clinton library.

The president also pardoned two men who each paid Sen. Clinton's brother, Hugh Rodham, about $200,000 to lobby the White House for pardons — one for a drug conviction and one for mail fraud and perjury convictions, according to a 2002 report by the House committee on government reform. After the payments came to light, Bill Clinton issued a statement: "Neither Hillary nor I had any knowledge of such payments," the report said.

The pardon records released by the library divulge little that might settle debate about those and other pardons. But they do shed new light on the volume of clemency requests that former president Clinton received — and the pressures he and his staff faced as friends, advisers, political leaders and foreign heads of state weighed in to influence which petitions would be granted."

Maybe I'm not understanding the favors and money thing as being highly ethical.

This has been my (information brokering)Public Service Announcement.

Mannnnn, this some BS!

2008-03-07T06:54:00.003-05:00

Yeah, I said it. This is some BULLSHIT!! I know I'm not crazy.

I know that people are excited about the political process as evidenced in the primary and caucus turn-outs. I'm thrilled to be part of the History in the making cliche. A woman breaking the glass ceiling. A black man being counted more than 3/5. Fantastic. A true reason to be proud of my country.

I have certainly made my candidate choice very clear, yet I still tell my friends and family to make the decision just to vote. I will correct an error when I hear it regarding a political position of Sen Barack Obama, but I don't try to force my opinion on anyone.

At this point, I am now very disappointed with the lack of apology extended to Sen Barack Obama by the mainstream news and media outlets. Frankly, I'm going to sum it up like this.

No major attention has been directed at CLINTONS TIED TO REZKO story. A story that would have taken some of the steam out of the Clinton machine attacks on Obama perfectly timed before a huge Super Tuesday II primary. Nor has mainstream media covered the even larger story regarding 'NAFTAgate' began with remark from Harper's chief of staff. Directly stating that a call came in from a member of the Clinton campaign and was flipped to reflect an Obama campaign advisor(by mistake of course). WTF?!

Look at how the story was reported on the New York Times: Canadian Leader on Obama Leak...where is the rest of the story? Where is the apology? Why is it buried halfway down the page? Where the fuck is the rest of the information? They aren't the only major paper or news source to keep it buried either. The coverage on this story is a shameful mockery of justice. I don't give two shits about intra party debating. In fact, I encourage it. This just shows what spin HRC and her campaign are capable of. Fuck 'em! Seriously!!

I hope they fix this and fix it soon.

The only place I saw some decent coverage was MSNBC: CLINTON'S NAFTA-GATE? . Hardly on the front page, high priority list, but at least it was there.

This is my public service announcement!

Get the votes and the money, nothing else matters...

2008-03-01T12:13:00.005-05:00

I have made my preference to see Senator Barack Obama become the next President of the United States quite well known. Other than volunteering for the ground support and getting all my friends to vote early and make mad phone calls for the campaign, I do occasionally write a blog post about it.

I have watched the Clinton Campaign speak about all the judgements they made and the experience downplay of Senator Barack Obama. It is a little known fact that the Clinton's(Bill and Hillary) went against the grain regarding clemency procedures for FALN prisoners. Surprisingly, 1999 marked a great year of Hispanic Support for the Sen Hillary Clinton's 2000 U.S. Senate run. The campaign is also under scrutiny because Sen. Clinton accepts donations from troubled firm and won't return the money like other politicians have done. When a campaign has lots of skeletons in their closet, it would be best to refrain from the mudslinging tactics.

The next time I see a commercial about who I'd like to see answering the "red phone" at 3AM, I'll be sure to think about The Clintons' Terror Pardons

I just hate the divisive tactics being used during this Democratic Nomination process.

Be informed and above all else, utilize your right to vote.

I'm just sayin'.

Books that talk about people writing books like Sex.Lies.Murder.Fame by Lolita Files or movies like Adaptation, a film that was supposed to be based on a novel by Susan Orlean, but ended up being a movie about a screenwriter (Charlie Kaufman) trying to write a movie about a book by Susan Orlean, seem to be a big part of pop culture and the entertainment world.

Apparently some fans take things quite literally as the Suspect who stabbed moviegoers in Fullerton at large has shown.

"History is full of ignominious getaways by the great and famous."

I was not surprised to hear that there is discrimination going on in the workplace (potentially, of course) due to usage of DNA tests that show whether a person is genetically pre-disposed to some sort of condition. People are afraid and mistrusting of such sensitive information's final resting place. Most definitely for a damn good reason.

Is there any area of our lives that can't be disclosed? Are the kits that people purchase to promote anonymity protecting them? Who will step up stiffer penalties for companies found in default of these passed legislation?

I'm not certain of the answers to any of these questions. Just like I'm not certain that there is no federal entity collecting DNA samples for every newborn baby in the country, or every person's blood sample that enters a hospital or clinic.

With the lack of genuine concern from the government regarding our rights to have actual, factual information provided, is it too far out of the realm of possibilities that we are moving one step closer to________________?

Think about it and finish the question for yourself.

I'm reminded of a quote by the great Aldous Huxley:

"The spectacle of human beings reduced to automatism satisfies the lust for power. Looking at mechanized slaves, one fancies oneself a master."

Interesting, no?

I'm all for a democratic system of voting in a president, but come on. Is it just me or is Mr. Ralph Nader's rhetoric about representing the majority of America's concerns going to help or hinder the current Democratic Party's nominee race?

Does the insertion into a Presidential bid hurt Senator Barack Obama or help him? Perhaps the most affected candidate is Sen John McCain whose recent press in the For McCain, Self-Confidence on Ethics Poses Its Own Risk article could be a major blow to his aspiration of winning the general election. Although, it was barely mentioned, it may end up being the end of the road for Sen Hillary Clinton whose campaign is being destroyed by Senator Barack Obama. Sen Clinton's core group is migrating to Sen Obama's camp. Voters that aren't supporting the front runner should realize that Sen McCain is for another 100 years in Iraq and Ralph Nader doesn't have a snow balls chance in hell of winning an election.

So there is really only one clear choice.

Only time will tell.

2008-02-21T06:52:00.002-05:00

The desire to remain blissfully ignorant is a major assistance to those that want to keep us controlled. Independent thinking is mostly construed as a negative to the masses and is immediately discounted as conspiracy. Oh, what fools we are to listen.

Now let me make this point very clear quickly. I trust and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as my personal saviour. My faith is important to me.

With that being said, I will post videos on topics wherein I will not share the same views or beliefs, but can appreciate the desire to create free thinkers. One such video that seems to cause much angst is Zeitgeist the Movie. I watched all of the movie and pulled some valuable information out of it. However, a person that is unable to have their absolute beliefs challenged should refrain from watching it.

I posted 3 of a 5 part story on the federal reserve that demands each of us be a little more informed about the impact other people have on our lives.

Please, please, please take the time to get and stay informed.

Be encouraged, be entertained but also be educated!

a new reality tv show...

2008-02-20T06:49:00.003-05:00

Hey, Y'all. I feel compelled to continue in this plight of sharing information with my blog fam. I know that a lot of conversation around the watercooler surrounds what may have happened on American Idol, but ummmm...open your mind to another form of reality television.

In your own time, I encourage you to check out the Loose Change video. It's about 80 minutes long, so watch it when/if you have some time to spare. Lots of questions are raised and the explanations given truly make it seem that the gubment thinks that we should believe whatever they say, without a second thought.

Now I'm not trying to get people too alarmed, but man, the stuff that we arebeing told just doesn't add up. Is it too far fetched to believe that there are people running this country that decide to do what the f*ck they want, when the f*ck they want, to whomever the f*ck they want...without consequence?

I just encourage you to be informed and use the information however you want. The "powers that be" might be setting things in motion that may change your way of life forever.

Be encouraged and be educated!

Peace and Love!

what you don't know...can hurt you.

2008-02-19T07:13:00.001-05:00

For those of you that have been reading my blog, there has been a myriad of topics discussed. Entertainment, politics and current events happen to be favorites of mine. On occasion though, I am absolutely interested in sharing information with my blog family that should cause a deeper reflection on the world wherein we live.

I have an affinity for watching sci fi and futuristic shows that include using technology as a part of a way to be tracked or identified by the government. I recently posted the slightly humorous Pizza ordering post. The reality is that I was preparing you for some additional, subtle ways that your life could be affected.

Here's a piece of information that some of you may or may not have heard about. Did you know that there was already major steps being taken to make a new currency called the "amero"?...google it. I'm not going to link it.

The title of my blog represents my personal feelings. I am, after all an information seeker. I wish to share pieces of info with my blog family and allow for you to draw your own conclusions. Have you ever heard of terms like SPP, NAFTA super highway, N.orth A.merica U.nion or RFID? You should know what they represent. Arm yourselves with knowledge.

For additional information on this subject and others...Click here and follow as many links as you can comfortably handle.

Be entertained by the media outlets, but also be informed by staying in tune with legislation hitting Congress that will definitely impact your lives. Turn off a reality show every now and then, but be certain to turn on C Span or something.

Peace and love to you all!

Lost Siblings Reunion Day!!

2008-02-01T06:31:00.000-05:00

We interrupt your Friday blog hopping 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.

Our mission statement is all about the family and we will never give up on helping the world.

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!

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.

For the next installment, we give you:

"Chamy" and "Jermaine Dupri"

Please enjoy your weekend and be sure to ask you significant other about their family tree!

If you have any information that will assist in bring about more joyous reunions, feel free to leave them in the comment section or email us directly.

Don't f*ck with my money or my food.

2008-01-29T11:12:00.000-05:00

First let me say that I am a huge fan of the body of work that T.om C.ruise has done. This expose on his faith is pretty deep.

I must say that this video is funny as hell though.

Happy Tuesday!

How to eff up Dr. King's Dream Class 101

2008-01-24T15:52:00.000-05:00

pimpalicious Mayor and his wife

Keepin in the theme of honoring Dr. King for MLK Week for me, I found out about this story. It's sad, but the reality is that a young, black mayor of a major city got caught up with an affair of his chief of staff and fired some folks when the pressure of being exposed was at its highest. It may not seem like a way to honor the legacy, but it is. Dr. King is honored in my eyes because of the opportunity presented. How the opportunity is squandered is another story.

I'm certainly no saint, but just like the old sayin goes..."with great power, comes great responsibility"...

DETROIT (AP) — Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick exchanged romantic and sexually oriented text messages with a top aide, contradicting their denials in court that they had romantic ties, the Detroit Free Press reported.

The county prosecutor's office declined to comment on the legal implications of the report, first posted Wednesday on the Detroit Free Press' Web site. A conviction of lying under oath can bring up to 15 years' imprisonment.

Kilpatrick issued a statement Wednesday night saying the messages "reflect a very difficult period in my personal life."

Last summer, Kilpatrick and chief of staff Christine Beatty testified in a police whistleblower lawsuit and denied any sexual or romantic ties in 2002-03.

Mike Stefani, a lawyer for the officers, asked Beatty if she and Kilpatrick were "either romantically or intimately involved with each other" during the period covered by the case.

"No," she replied.

Stefani asked Kilpatrick if he was "romantically involved with Christine Beatty" in 2002-03.

"No," he replied.

At another point in his testimony, Kilpatrick expressed anger about claims of an affair between him and Beatty.

"I think it was pretty demoralizing to her — you have to know her — but it's demoralizing to me as well," the mayor said. "My mother is a congresswoman. There have always been strong women around me. My aunt is a state legislator. I think it's absurd to assert that every woman that works with a man is a whore.

"I think it's disrespectful not just to Christine Beatty but to women who do a professional job that they do every single day. And it's also disrespectful to their families as well."

But the Free Press said it examined about 14,000 text messages on Beatty's city-issued pager from two months in 2002 and two months in 2003 and found many examples of such ties.

Kilpatrick is married, and Beatty was married at the time.

"I'm madly in love with you," Kilpatrick wrote on Oct. 3, 2002.

"I hope you feel that way for a long time," Beatty replied. "In case you haven't noticed, I am madly in love with you, too!"

On Oct. 16, 2002, Kilpatrick wrote Beatty: "I've been dreaming all day about having you all to myself for 3 days. Relaxing, laughing, talking, sleeping and making love."

In a statement released by his office Wednesday night, Kilpatrick said: "It is profoundly embarrassing to have these extremely private messages now displayed in such a public manner.

"My wife and I worked our way through these intensely personal issues years ago. I would now ask that the public and the media respect the privacy of my wife and children and of Christine Beatty and her children at this deeply painful moment for our families."

Kilpatrick was scheduled on Wednesday to chair a panel discussion on responding to the mortgage crisis at the U.S. Conference of Mayors winter meeting in Washington and attend a breakfast and luncheon at the conference on Thursday.

Elena Temple, a spokeswoman for the organization, said Thursday that Kilpatrick didn't attend the conference.

When asked if the prosecutor's office would open an investigation into possible perjury, Wayne County prosecutor's spokeswoman Maria Miller said: "We have not received anything from anyone. Other than that, we have no comment."

In the civil case, a Wayne County jury awarded $6.5 million to two former police officers in the lawsuit against the city and Kilpatrick.

The jury said Kilpatrick and the city unlawfully dismissed two officers — Gary Brown and Harold Nelthrope. The men claimed they suffered after looking into alleged wrongdoing within Kilpatrick's security unit.

The events happened in Kilpatrick's first four-year term. He was elected to a second term in November 2005.

The Free Press didn't explain exactly how it obtained the text messages, but said it was outside a lawsuit it filed to get all records related to the settlement the city reached with the two officers. The newspaper said it cross-referenced the text messages with the mayor's private calendar and credit card records from that period to verify events in some messages.

quick summary: Kilpatrick is 37, known for being the "hip hop mayor", not well liked by most of his peers, known to party hard, known for being a bling-blinger, exposed for using city money for non city expenses...He is a Black Mayor of a major city. He should know that he is unde the microscope anyway.

Why why why...why would he be so smug to commit perjury in court, then when they had an opportunity to settle for 100K...not do so. Why would he let his d*ck and lying cost the city over $9M when Detroit is one of the poorest cities in the country with a forclosure rate that is astronomical.

I know why..

When you are an arrogant, selfish, sneaky f*ck that thinks that you are where you are because you feel entitled, feeling invincible goes with the territory. Additionally, since he isn't personally responsible to pay one cent, I guess it's no skin off his nose. Motherf*cker!!!!!!

2008-01-20T11:53:00.000-05:00

When I came across this blog post last year, the title was fixated on women knowing who this woman was. I believe that everyone should know who she was.

I was introduced to this story late last year on Sylvia Hubbard's blog.
I encourage you to read her short life story and pass it along to someone else.

Happy MLK Week!!!!

just in case you haven't heard this...

2008-01-19T08:02:00.000-05:00

Moving right along with the theme of honoring Dr King and uplifting people...

Everyone needs to hear this at least just one time!

I hope you enjoy this as much as I do, fam!

Happy Listening!

Lest we forget...

2008-01-18T07:14:00.000-05:00

With the coming days celebration of Dr. King's Birthday, let us not forget what it was like a few generations ago.

What goes through your mind when you read this? Black, Hispanic, Asian or white readers...any and everyone should feel something.

Is it anger, sympathy for the(black cause), gratitude it wasn't you, numb because you can't relate, proud because we have come so far or motivated to make the best of your life?

Care to share?

Enjoy the long weekend and tell someone about the legacy of Dr. King!

I'm really feelin this video right now!

I know that some of the old school cartooners recognize the Wonder Twins from the Superfriends. Jan and Jace did seem a little too close on some of the episodes. Could they have been....nahhhhhh let me just stop.

In a strange and bizarre twist, twins separated at birth reunite and marry. I won't go into how many incest jokes are running through my mind. I feel badly for the couple/siblings.

From henceforth, I shall double my efforts of reuniting lost siblings. If I had acted faster, this may not have happened.

Please stay tuned for our Lost Sibling Day Reunion posts so that we can stop such embarassing moments.

For a complete story please go read about the Marrying Twins.

2008-01-13T16:24:00.000-05:00

It's funny how the mind works. I was thinking about the BCS Championship game with The Ohio State University vs. LSU in which my team lost. Being a former student/athlete of the OSU Buckeye track team, a native Ohioan and finally a fan of the university in general, I hate seeing them lose. I don't really want to dwell on that right now though. I'm still affected by losing 2yrs straight. So, that's not important. What is important is the little known fact is that the Buckeye's speed coach is none other than Butch Reynolds of whom I have been a fan of for many many years. Not just because I ran track for OSU, or because I was on the same track with the one time "Fastest Man in the World".

How many Universities can say that?

It didn't stop there. I segued into thinking about another favorite athlete of mine Marion Jones also one of the best athletes to ever put on a set of track shoes. She was great!

Finally...somehow it came to rest on the extremely gifted Carl Lewis. I can't explain how I got there, but I did.

This brings me to the reason for this post. All these great track and field athlete flashbacks while watching a football game brought me to the recollection of Carl Lewis singing the National Anthem to open a game.

I won't go into detail about it, but for those of you that didn't catch it the first time, here you go.

Click the pic!

Is it just me?...

2008-01-09T06:52:00.000-05:00

Ok, y'all. I'm tripping on this one. Or maybe not. Is this real? Is it some kind of joke? I mean really, what kind of conversation could be going during the online chatting sequence.

male farmer: "so ma'am, what size tractor ya got?
female farmer: "I got me one of dem brand new John Deere tractors with the hay bailer hitch"
male farmer: "ya don't say...wow, I've always wanted ta get me one them...oh sorry about the delay ma...my wireless modem signal is low.
female farmer: "Don't you worry none, pa...I just had roadrunner installed in the barn and ran a network into the house."

really now....what the hell???

Peep, dis...how the hell are they going to promote that city slickers aren't welcome? Who'd know? Suppose a farmer guy wanted to meet a city gal?...oh nooooooo

At first I was trying to work it out in my head that there actually was a Farmers Only dating site, then I had to wrap my brain around farmers hookin up using the net. Hey, someone might need a lil' help feedin' the chickens and milkin' the cows.

Maybe it's just that I really would just want to be a fly on the wall and see what the eff would be a first date conversation for folks that met on the service. Would that guy be talking about rollin around in the hay?

I'm totally out of line for thinking that farmers wouldn't be using the internet. Technology reaches into every area of the world. Why would I think that BPM would have a monopoly on the internet scene?

Well...good luck to all the folks that subscribe to dating sites.

Happy New Year, ya'll! To the single people, I hope that you find love and happiness using a dot com or conventional methods!

This has been my Public Service Announcement!

We interrupt the regularly scheduled Monday Musings 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. I believe that original notice was prompted by the mrs. after watching an episode of The View.

Our mission statement is all about the family and we will never give up on helping the world.

I was eating a bowl of frosted shredded wheats and heard about this article and nearly had to wipe off my screen and keyboard. It brings a whole new meaning to wedding traditions.

This could very well be a gruesome account of selective hearing fa sho!

Seems to me that a father has the option of saying "No, but I'll take your hand instead"!

I know I'm effed up, all i could think about was dropped call commercials in his defense.

*warning* ..Next time someone says that didn't hear everything you just said...take heed!

I dunno'...I'm just sayin.

We would like to recognize the efforts of a fellow blogger that came across great information and passed it along to us. While surfing the internet, she came across this obvious set of siblings and passed the info onto me. After verification process was conducted, we decided that it was a clear case of 99.99% certainty.

Ms. Behaving was the first person to send me this link to add to my "Lost Siblings Reunion Day"

Ladies and Gentleman, Let me present to some and introduce to others....

New York and Janice the guitar playing muppet. Thanks Thembi!(Honorable mention)

The eye lashes and the smile are a clincher.

Thank you, Ms. Behaving! Your efforts did not go unnoticed!

At first glance, I thought there was nothing wrong with the picture below. It came to me as a part of an email attachment that many of you probably already saw. The title of the email was..."This is just nasty". Now normally the part of me that enjoys the macabre or the less than savory images is kept in check, but not this time. My curious nature got the best of me.

I opened the email only to be left with my face bunched up like I had just eaten a soup grape candy and my jaw nearly hit the floor.

I blew off the warning and was punished for not adhering to the red flag in my head. I had been introduced to the world of Jenkem or the more comical name...butt hash!

I also notice that a new reader to my blog posted on it at Thembi's WT Eff Wednesday. I love the theme day title. Smile!

raw sewage(sh*t and piss)...bottled up!

To sum up the link's above, kids are using human waste to get high. Yeah I said it...human waste.
They are putting doo doo and pee pee in jars, sealing the top with a nipple, letting it ferment, then inhaling it through the nipple....OMG!!

I know it's a gross post, but I felt as though it is my duty to bring this to as many people as possible. Some kids were interviewed on the new trend and had this video on the subject.

Let's protect our children from getting involved with dumb ass experimentations like this, fam.

This has been my public service announcement.

The revolution will not be posted...

2007-11-09T09:16:00.000-05:00

Although I have a blog that was prepared to be posted today, my revolutionist ideologies will not be televised! I choose to work and blog hop a little bit. I thank every single person in my blog family for your support and comments.. Several new fam's posts have truly given me more appreciation of all of you.

I shudder to think what can be accomplished in the world of writing if we continue to draw inspiration from each other and support the creative flow in even this small community.

With the risk of sounding soft...I need everyone to keep up the good work so that I can draw from your strengths so that when you need it...I'm right there for you with your own reserves.

Enjoy, fam.

oh and in case you didn't know it is also the weekend of celebration for the birthday of our own crazy KiKi. Happy Birthday weekend, KiKi.

Happy Friday and Have a great weekend everyone!!!!

and then there were 5...

During a visit to our good friend's home last week, the mrs. and I happened to notice a tiny little guy crying to get our attention. We probably simultaneously looked down to notice a little puppy with the biggest eyes looking back at us.

We had been talking about getting another boy Shiba Inu a lot recently. She already had the name picked out and it was a matter of time.

Those plans went right out the door. We looked at this puppy and decided in less than 1 minute that he needed to come back home with us.

So let me introduce to you Celebrity's Lucky Luciano straight out of Cortney Gee's Celebrity Kennel's.

awwwwww...look at those eyes!

my fave time of the day!

ugh...up already and ready for some action!

Just like the rest of the dogs, he is very comfortable in our bed. sheeeesh!!!!

The New Dawn---Repost!

2007-10-27T09:43:00.000-05:00

My friends I have come to bear witness to a less verbalized change in the system of dating. The tides have turned! I'm going to take you on my own personal time warp.

When I was a teenager in the 80's, I was about 6'1 and very slender. Dark brown skin, big nose, and kinda shy. That definitely was not the formula to get girls to notice me other than being able to play basketball well and run fast on the track. Yet the physical appeal for the majority of the women was quite different than how I looked in my teenage years. The light complexion, grey or green eyes and wavy/perm looking hair was "in" then. Though I was a jock, I was still missing some of the attributes that attracted girls. Now don't get me wrong, not all of the young ladies were shallow like that and I was veryyyyy thankful for the girls that like the brown skin, average joe's like me.

I found that I became a "good friend" or "brother" type figure to the girls that I had crushes on! Looking back...that was masterfully done! But at the time, I was taking a beating.

In the 80's, there were lots of movies where the nice guy was the friend who watched the beautiful female friend that he loved get played by dudes over and over again, to eventually ended up with the girl. WRONG!!!!!! Hollywood had me set up for failure, Jack!! That shit never happened like that in my life..yet, it made for a happily ever after romance in theory. Even shows like "Beauty and the beast" were popular and promoted that "boy I wish I could be with her" kind of thinking.

Well guess what...LOL..the joke is on the pretty boys now!! You know the ones..the ones that thought that they could skate through life because they were attractive and didn't maximize their opportunities in education or talents in athletics. I'm not hating..just keeping it real! If not for those dudes, the nice guys like me wouldn't be the "in" thing right now. I watched many hearts get broken, over and over again because women coveted that stereotype. Musicians that couldn't sing worth sh*t got over because of their "look"..Al B. Sure is top on a lot of my female friends list..LOL

It was a double edged sword to be a kid in the 80's, compared to now as a grown man. I endured quite a bit of heckling in my teen years to come back and hook up with
the prom queens down the road...(while they still looked good)!!! The tables have turned...now in the favor of the nice guys, good friends and the "oh,girl please..that's just______". By the way, I hated that shit and I know I'm not alone!!!!!!

This time around, the sincere nice guys that treat a woman with dignity, respect and become great friends, don't have to settle for being"oh, he's just a friend". We have a shot because now women think the "pretty boy's" are players because of previous experiences and even worse than that "on the down low".

Inspired to revisit the thought much by recent blogs by Bloopty Bloop's Oct 23rd post..thanks ya'll

My public service announcement!

Lost Sibling Reunion Day!

2007-10-26T06:37:00.000-05:00

We interrupt the regularly scheduled Pot Luck Friday 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.

Our mission statement is all about the family and we will never give up on helping the world.

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.

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.

So for the second installment I give you:

Simply shocking isn't it? Amazingly they both wear the same color doo rag.

andddddddd as a bonus sibling reunion.....

The smile only solidifies the joy of siblings reunited.

Thank you all for helping to bring these lost loved ones together. Since the initial meeting, they have had an opportunity to share many stories of growing up, thus another success story!

It is also rumored that "grem" as he is affectionately called by flav may have doubled during sex scenes with brigitte nielson and New york for taping FLavor of Love and the Surreal Life.

Stay tuned for more reunions!

Sometimes ya gotta say...WTF!!!

Monday Musings..the Tuesday edition.

2007-10-23T06:30:00.000-05:00

For those of you that don't know me. Almost all of you...LOL! I have to share a piece of information that may mean nothing to you, yet it is the root of much agony for me.

I think most people have something that they consider a real pet peeve. I am going to share one of my biggest ones with you. It started a few years ago in Ohio. A fashion trend that irritated me to no end.

Some person, perhaps a teenager started wearing pajama pants out in public as regular attire. At first it was a few kids that I spotted, then it erupted into a city of young people that started coming out of the house...fresh out of bed and sporting their pajamas. In the store, walking down the street, at the bus stop, at the gas station and anywhere else in public view.

This is how they get down now.

Luckily for my son, he hasn't tried any sh*t like that or I would promptly blacken his eyeball. I just can't believe that there is a generation of young people that have absolutely no regard for public image. Being unkempt is a style now?! HUH?

Now don't get me wrong, I'm all for fashion trends and all but, c'mon now...Frickin pajamas. PLEASEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

I'm stepping down from my soapbox now.

Agree or not, I hate seeing people dressed like this...on purpose. What y'all think?

This has been my Public Service Announcement!

Picnic with a view!!!

2007-10-22T08:00:00.000-05:00

Party of six, please.

Wow...it was an amazing picnic at a park on the beach. We packed up the cooler and brought some wood and meat for the grill. Sunny with clear skies accompanied a gentle breeze with temperatures in the mid 70's. The food was straight up "delish". The view was spectacular and these guys got a chance to feel like they were back on the west coast. It was mad cool!

I might need more practice in getting 4 dogs to be still so I could take their picture. LOL!

Have a great Monday!

In the age of creative expression and photo shopping skills, it is very easy to generate a "different" look to any individual. I came across an email and had to share it with everyone.

Being a Poli-Sci major and a person that also loves a good laugh or two, let's be entertained with this game. Let's see who can name the individuals in drag.

smuckers anyone?

60's tv star?

"white chicks" part 2?

Grandma next door?

fashion designer mogul?

80's punk rock duo?

Good Luck, fam.

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. Today and henceforth Wednesdays shall be named...WTF WEDNESDAY!!!!!

There is no set subject. Anything that is on your mind. It is an open forum where the first lines of each comment start with WTF...now that could mean what the frick, where the frick, why the frick, who the frick, etc., but each comment should start with WTF.

Prime example...WTF was Sen Larry Craig lying about his homosexual rendezvous in the Minnesota Airport during his television interview last night? Please!!!!

Have fun and keep it as clean as possible, fam.

Have a fantastic day!

A movie night to remember...

2007-10-16T07:33:00.000-05:00

I love watching movies so when we got an invite to go to a screening of Cleveland Native Halle Berry's new film with Cortney and Miss Vickie, I was down like four flats on a dump truck.

Unfortunately, we got to the private screen too late to get in. It was a let down but we were able to get into another movie that was jussssssst starting...better yet...for free!

So Now we get to see...

of course with Jamie Foxx and Jennifer Garner. It was getting good too until...

The film started melting. We couldn't believe what we were seeing. It looked so strange like right out of a sitcom or maybe we were being "punked". It was a true WTF Moment in History!!

With all the advancements in technology, it wasn't being shown on a
digital film projector

Oh Noooooo...we get the

Ol' School Reel.

Can you believe the luck of the night?...Geez!

Drop by The Lo Zone for her perspective.

Have fun and keep it as clean as possible, fam.

Have a fantastic day!

the test results are in..(dramatic pause)--Repost

2007-10-09T07:44:00.000-05:00

I was at home recently during the day and happened to catch a Maury Povich episode. This episode had a woman come to show and air all her dirty laundry. She had 13 different men tested to be the father of her child. 13 were not!
I was like "wtf"!!! 13 different dudes for one baby. That was really "special" to me. It was whack how the dude had a short video clip blasting her and her promiscuity. I was really tripping like...damn what city does she live in and did they provide AIDS testing too.

So anywho(man i sound like AB).........dude starts out about how he has a woman and he's in love....never hooked up with her and "she's a f*****g liar and hoe, Maury!" They show the picture of the baby and the crowd goes awwww and starts booing this guy. I can't front, normally I don't watch this crap but it was kinda entertaining for a minute. Dude brings his woman onto the stage and she acts like she wants to fight the accusing mother whom of course is calling him a liar and saying "watch mothfu****...you gon take care of your responsibility"....So I sit up a lil closer and Maury says"the results are in.....We will be right back after this quick commercial break" I'm like..damn this is fu***d up...I gotta wait too.

Commercial goes off and the envelope is opened and Maury says" You are NOT the father...." mannnnnn this girl goes running off the stage.....yelling , fallin all on the floor and crying...Maury goes after her and comforts her telling her that he wont stop till they find the baby daddy! I got the main idea though....... Just keep giving them names up !!!!!

Here's the only thing I want to tell the many, many women that bring all these dudes to tv and expose themselves on national televison for the amuse3ment of the viewers.....USE RUBBERS!!! DAMN

And to the Fellas....USE RUBBERS!!! PLUS...Stop making your next door neighbor the victim of your quest to break Wilt Chamberlin's record of 20,000 women.

Y'all are playin yourselves because your misery is entertainment for the masses.

well...i just happened across a link that had me about to fuggin lose my mind featuring our favorite cartoon rabbit character...Bugs.

Enjoy the lessons that you get from watching this cartoon.

and if that wasn't enough for ya...then how about my favorite viewing pleasure. An obvious person of another persuasion, in "costume"...

is it me? or is there something really wrong with what happened in these images? I wonder if ole boy even tried to do the "soft shoe".

Now I know that these were made in the 50's or so, but c'mon now. Didn't they have any common sense at all? You let me know...

This has been my Public Service Announcment!

Monday Musings..part VIII

2007-10-08T06:58:00.001-05:00

Ok, now I feel really bad. I became the bad guy for a moment and did a huge injustice to my fellow black man. Well, how did you do that, DC? You don't have to twist my arm to tell it.(deep sigh)

ok...maybe a month and a half ago I was dealing with a next door neighbor's kid that was throwing water ballons over in our yard when the dogs were outside, riding her little scooter through our grass and coming into our gated yard without permission. And if that wasn't enough, her mother, with whom we never even exchanged names, was often leaving her bedroom window open...which of course opened into our driveway. Apparently she was a loud moaner, because everyone in our home heard her getting "done" on more than a few occasions.

She left suddenly and a new neighbor moved in. They knew each other and the transition took less than a week. This time, it was a guy with his girlfriend and her 4 yr old son. I was like "oh boy, here we go again". He moved in with pimped out vehicles(like in the tv show), braids and a lot of friends that rolled up on motorcycles and other pimped out cars whilst pumping loud sounds at night.

Soon though, the cars stopped coming over and the music hardly ever got loud. We spoke and exchanged names. In reality, this dude has been an extremely good neighbor. I needed a jack and 4-way for my tire one day. He was right there, even offered to help me to the work. He closed my gate when I left it open one day. He is very polite and kind to my family and is genuinely a cool dude. I haven't ever experienced the over the fence/talk neighbor before. It's pretty nice.

I misjudged him because of his looks and what he drives.

I'm guilty. I didn't know that I had a prejudiced bone in my body until now. Who knew? I hope this true story prevents you from doing the same to someone else.

This has been my Public Service Announcement.

And so it begins....

2007-10-05T19:23:00.000-05:00

Now I can't front and say that I don't have Limewire my desktop. I'd have to say that this hollow victory is the first step in the major bullying tactics. Frankly, this is some BS!!

What do you think, fam? Is 24 songs worth $220,000?

So for the first installment I give you:

Martian Leader

and

Phil Spector

As you can see, both siblings are in court in their respective photos. Go figure!

We will continue to do our part and if you know of any lost siblings, feel free to let us know so we can contact them for the reunion process to begin.

We thank you for your support of our efforts.

This has been our Public Service Announcement.

I wish that the children of the new millenium could have experienced some of the educational shows that I saw on Saturday mornings. Well, since they didn't have them now..we can bring it to them via Youtube!

This video is for everyone...

Ok, so I borrowed a couple of cliches and strung them together...LOL!!!

I certainly didn't think of myself as the Master but when I watched this movie as a kid---I got extra hyped up. I remember being in my martial arts instructors house asking him if he thought any of those moves were real and he said, "yeah, they're real...real Hollywood." I knew what he meant, but I wanted to think he was wrong so I learned this movie's moves so I could be the next martial arts movie star. It didn't work and I could only do some of them.

In case you forgot what the last scene was like, check it out right here.

What movie did you know all the words and the body movements to? This was but one of mine. What's yours?

Enjoy the clip and the trip down memory lane for the people in my age group. Smile!

Happy Tuesday!!

Would you be scared to drive across this bridge . ...

The Millau viaduct is part of the new E11 expressway connecting Paris and Barcelona and features

the highest bridge piers ever constructed. The tallest is 240 meters (787 feet) high and the overall height will be an impressive 336 meters (1102 feet), making this the highest bridge in the world.

I can barely drive across local bridges without an anxiety attack.

One word answer (yes or no)...Could you do it...knowing exactly where you were?

Pot Luck Friday...Part XXI

2007-09-28T06:24:00.000-05:00

Dis shole duz look good!

This forum is officially a smash hit. I am excited to present once again POT LUCK FRIDAY.

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.

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.

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. 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 clean...please---thank you.

Have a fantastic weekend and let's come up with some great questions to kick around the campfire!

So without further delay.....who is up for the challenge, part 21?

Sometimes ya gotta say...WTF!!!!

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. Today and henceforth Wednesdays shall be named...WTF WEDNESDAY!!!!!

Ok, so it isn't exactly a Wednesday post cause I'm publishing it at 8:30 pm EST. My bad!!! LOL!

There is no set subject. Anything that is on your mind. It is an open forum where the first lines of each comment start with WTF...now that could mean what the frick, where the frick, why the frick, who the frick, etc., but each comment should start with WTF.

Here's a prime example of a WTF moment in THIS YAHOO STORY about how lil miss bush became engaged. WTF(why) is this getting press over the serious issues happening in the us right now?!

Have fun and keep it as clean as possible, fam.

Have a fantastic day!
