Politically In(correct)

This will be one of the VERY FEW times that you will read anything political from me.  I don't believe in politics and prefer that it stays with the theives, liars, and hypocrites (you know, politicians). 

I have listened for the past few months as people go back and forth about what President Obama has not done for the country.  People are saying that he has not created enough jobs for the American people, that they are unsure of how the new health law affects them (or that it's stopping the elderly from receiving medicare), and that the middle class will suffer more of a recession with Obama in office and that is a reason to vote for Romney. 

I have NEVER seen a president that fulfilled ALL of his campaign promises until now.  I think that some of his goals are a little lofty but the fact that he accomplished everything he said he would do, give him more creditability to me.

Not to be cruel, but Romney can create jobs in America now (no matter who the President is), by stopping his company from outsourcing jobs that Americans can have.  Anyone who can not currently afford health insurance should be so grateful for this health care plan, and by the way, the amount that you are taxed, is minimal if you say tou can not afford insurance.  But the fact that insurance is becoming universal will make it more affordable for everyone. 

Finally, this is the one that irks me the most is the way they talk about the middle class.  The reason for the recession was not Obama, he came in as the American public was in the recession.  Getting out of trouble has ALWAYS taken longer than it has taken to get into trouble.  Plus he's fixing someone else's mistake and first, he had to figure out what he did to mess up the economy in order to find out what he has to do to fix the mess up.  Then he has to make sure that he has all the tools do do it with and one of the tools required is a supportive American public.

The three are NOT one

When I was growing up, I could not understand the trinity idea in religion because I would wonder how the father, the son, and the holy ghost could all be one and the same.  I never got it and gave up along time ago.  Now there is another three in one that I have heard guys talking about and I don't understand what female made the mistake of letting them continue to believe that they are the same.

The "trinity" that I'm talking about is being wet, coming, and an orgasm.  There are men out there that don't get that these three things are not the same.  Unfortunately for some women who's significant others I have talked to, they are only getting wet and that is no good for the girl.  Being wet is a reflex of your body that protects you from chaffing while dealing with some sorry man.  Coming is one step better because that means that you have found a man who at least tries to let you get in, but the ultimate goal is the orgasm that, sadly, many women die never experiencing one.

The problem with men is that for them, the three are one.  They feel that she is wet and then their body comes and that is there orgasm.  My male friends know that I love them, but I would be wrong if I did not clear up the fact that you are suppose to keep going until you get to the orgasm (for her).  It is never a productive relationship when you get yours and she hasn't gotten hers.  That's why there are so many women magazines talking about how to accomplish the perfect orgasm and there are so many lotions and toys designed for the ultimate orgasm. 

I encourage my female friends to put down the book and lay down the law.... Just like short haired women can weave it if they can't achieve it, men that have a short endurance need to put their mouth in it before they put their head into it. 

TS... support U?

It is accepted that other cultures have an immense respect for where they came from whether it is acceptable by Americans or not. But many of these people did not have the struggles and history as an African American. No other ethnicity was bought into the United States in masses for no other reason than servitude. No other ethnicity has continually been seen as uneducated, lazy, and unmotivated. Other cultures and ethnicities are applauded for the work that they do and the miles they traveled to get to where they are now. The only time our black men seem to be applauded in the media is in sports and music. This could explain why so many of our boys believe that their only ways of improvement are in these areas. As a child, I was taught the love and respect that an African American should have in not only their people and their history but also in their education. My grandmother was not even considered as worthy to attend a college based on her color. My great grandmother was a sharecropper.  But my mom, grandma, and Nana told me from my creation that I could rule the world.

For those who don’t know, I attend Texas Southern University. I do not attend it for the accolades that it has been attributed (good luck finding them within media), I do not attend it because of how highly praised the teachers are (you only find out about a teacher if there is a problem)…. I go to TSU because the school is diverse, it is worthy of all accolades. The teachers are caring and they work with you, not only to make sure that you get out of college but so that you can stand with or without everyone noticing the color of your skin. I always wanted to go to a historically black college or university and for those familiar with the Houston and surrounding areas, Texas Southern is not the only HBCU around. When I went back to college, I chose Texas Southern during the time that they were being crucified in the media for the actions of a handful of people. Those people did not account for the majority of Texas Southern or their staff nor were they alumni of Texas Southern, but the impact that they had on the school was further reaching than anyone then or now would have guessed. News of their betrayal saturated the television, internet, and papers for over a year and with their dismissal, came the fallout and clean-up.

To this day there is very little GOOD press about Texas Southern unless it’s about sports or the band. Yes, the band Ocean of Soul has won awards and performed at Super Bowls and The Stellar Awards and in 2010 the football team won its first Southwest Athletic Conference (SWAC) Championship in 42 years, but the radio station KTSU is number one overall of Houston/Galveston stations for its Sunday format and its Friday format of Golden Oldies. I just want to highlight some of the good about Texas Southern University. First it is one of only four independent public universities in Texas. This means that Texas Southern is not affiliated with any of the six public university systems in Texas. It is, also, one of the largest and the most comprehensive HBCUs in the nation. The Jesse H. Jones School of Business was named one of the ‘Best 300 Business Schools ‘ by the Princeton Review in 2008 and was recognized as one of the nation’s ‘Best Business Schools’ by the U.S. News & World Report in 2010. The College of Science and Technology houses research programs like the NASA University Research Center for Bio-Nanotechnology and Environmental Research, the Maritime Transportation Studies and Research, as well as the STEM research program. The Thurgood Marshall School of Law has been consistently ranked number one in achieving diversification in its student body. In the fall of 2010, Texas Southern University partnered with Lone Star College in Northwest Houston to make education easier to get to for that side of town. In conjunction with the City of Houston and Houston Public Library, Texas Southern will begin to offer fine arts classes with theatre and dance performances in the historic Deluxe Theater in Houston’s Fifth Ward. 

I understand that what has happened in the past may put people off to TSU but no one likes for their past to affect their future.  So I encourage all those who attend TSU and those who are just in the Houston and surrounding areas to support Texas Southern University.

  

Whitney Elizabeth Houston 1963-2012

Good Afternoon to everyone who may be still as shocked and hurt by the death of the icon Whitney Elizabeth Houston.  I am one of the biggest skeptics you may ever encounter so when my husband's friend called him telling him that Whitney Houston was dead, I was like 'yeah, ok'.  But not even two seconds later, I get a email from my NY Times online subscription saying 'Whitney Houston Dead, at 48'.  I couldn't catch my breath at first then I had decided that it was a death hoax and that she was going to release a statement saying "I'm not dead, yet."  What made it real for me was when I saw a picture of a very distraught Bobbi Kristina.

It is that young lady that I feel for right now.  In the press' eagerness to put SOMETHING out there, they have just about put ANYTHING out there.  They have reported that Ray J was with her when she died and was the one who discovered the body.  They have said implied that she was using drugs again and that was a possible cause of death.  I was listening to the radio this morning where they had on a young 'journalist' (and I use the word loosely) who recalled Whitney Houston's last interview.  She mentioned how Ms. Houston was at the interview with her hair wet and 'not dressed' like the way you would think an icon should look, 'especially since you're already so criticized'.  Not once did she mention that Whitney Houston was with her daughter, Bobbie Kristina, at the pool and that could be an explanation for her wet hair.  Nor did anyone ever think that because you are an icon, doesn't mean that you have to WANT or try to be perfect at all times.  By the way, Whitney Houston was planning a surprise party for Brandy for that night which probably had something to do with the note that the viral feed showed Whitney passing to Brandy.

My point is that the autopsy has not come out as of yet and for people to continually put the negative out there is bad journalism and is very hurtful to Bobbi Kristina.  She is a young woman who has just lost her best friend and her mother all in one.  It hurts my heart to know that she has to go through such an emotional period of time WITH ALL EYES ON HER and most of the people who are leering have nothing nice to say about her mother.  I'm shedding tears for her because it's never easy to lose anyone you love but a parent, a friend, a mentor...

Even if she was on crack, prescription drugs, or just high off life, a real journalist knows that you are to report the facts of what is happening without your opinion of what it looks like to you.  "It's not right, but it's ok..." - Whitney Houston

Whitney Houston was as much an inspiration for me as she was for other singers: professional like Christina Aguilera and Beyone and the shower singers like me.  I remember winning my first talent contest singing my rendition of The Greatest Love of All.  I was motivated to try my hand at singing again when I heard her sing the Star Spangled Banner.

I shed tears for who she was.
For how her entrance started a buzz.
I shed tears for what she went through.
Even though you were glad she wasn't you still wished she was you.
I shed tears for what she wanted to do.
Everyday she showed she loved Bobbi Kristina and, with Sparkle, she showed she loved us too.

Rest in Peace Whitney Elizabeth Houston.  I hope you find with God the serenity you could not find with his creatures here on Earth.

August 9, 1963- February 11, 2012
I shed tears for all those she left here to morn her star brighting the heavens.  

Bullying or Building

Anyone who went to Lew Wallace High School knows that high school was not the highlight of my life.  I have always been too old for my age and more stuck up than necessary. (lmbo) But I have treasured the friends I did have and am grateful to all my enemies because they made me stronger. 

Now, there was a little girl who told me that she hates school and the people in it because they make her feel bad about herself. 

The first thing I told her is that no one can MAKE you feel bad about yourself.  You have to already have the seed planted and the school meanies are watering it.  But don't let it choke you because next to the weed of insecurity is the blooming orchid of determination. 

I was bullied in elementary school all the way through high school.  By time I hit high school it did not bother me as much because I had finally gotten it... the kids that were picking on me had it just as rough or more so than myself.  I started to just 'take one for the team' as they say because I understood that it made them feel better to have an outlet for their pain and frustration. 

My new motto became, if that's what you say ok, but don't touch.  I understand that bullying has progressed since the days I was a child and teen.  With the internet, YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter.  You can embarass a person on a much broader scale than you once could.  I hope that children can find a way to get along but that may never happen and until then, you must be very secure within yourself about not only you strengths (the things that make you Xena Warrior Princess or the Incredible Hulk), you must embrace your weaknesses (the things that make you Gabrielle or Bruce Banner).  To some people like me, it's the Gabrielles and Bruce Banners of the world that change it.

Thank you everyone who picked on me or told me that I wasn't sh*t because once I removed those weeds I blossomed!
