Frantic Week


This past week has been a major blessing to all who were able to witness it. Whether you voted for him or not, watching Obama take his office was an amazing thing. More people are now aware of the avenues one must take to become president and the activities surrounding taking office. I hope all who participated have the patience to wait while Obama and his team try to fix this mess of an economy. He seems to be off to a good start
I am extremely proud that a person of color is in the white house for the first time. I am not overly optimistic that this will fix all the race issues America has. That starts at home with families. I have had various friends across the U.S. say that they are having issues in their cities with small anti-minority groups popping up. SMH. People need to grow up. As for how the Black community should take this....I don't know. I can not say that it will inspire instant unity and well wishes. The black community as a whole seems to be stuck in that Lynch theory. I refuse to participate in such small mindedness. Rather I hope this presidency is an inspiration to all races to try to better themselves because nothing can be gained or changed without an individual evolving.
I do not think this singal event signiies the fulillment of Martin Luther King Jr's dream. It is but a small step. I mean look at the cookies that bakery in New York was selling and the things the owner was saying. I think once people reach a point where they judge a person based on their personality, actions and words regardless of their race, we will have fulfilled Dr. Kings dream and we are far from that. ~be blessed~

So how did that superman thing work out for you son?


So....my son took a leap today believing he could fly~ He couldn't, as he soon learned. He hit the steps and got banged up. In spite of it all, through the tears I could see he was really happy. Odd. This was not his first "flight." Just one that had more severe consequences than the others *Sigh*..
It did get me to thinking about childrens' inherent need to fly. More so little boys than girls. They also will not accept 'no' for an answer..No matter how big of a 'fail' they will surely be out there again trying to fly.....Where does that ambition and drive go when we get to being adults? As adults some of us are determined and will keep trying until we get it others try once or twice and they are done..just give up. Where is their inner Superman? *uugh visual of someone in cape and tights that does not need to rock that* Just a thought...and more importantly why dont the boys take a clue from the girls and cut that out..its much easier on moms heart lol

mysteriousness personified

~Is it possible to be a mystery and an open book at the same time? Somewhat of an obvious enigma? I feel that is what I am. I feed off honest and open communication but at the same time relish in not giving all of the intricate workings of me up. The enigma personified is what I am often referred to as. I am in the randomist of moods tonight...kind of all over the place..bear with me

As I lay here listening to the wonders of nature outdoor I keep having all kinds of thoughts. I just watched a video of a woman making a complete and utter fool of herself over a man that she caught cheating on her.....is this what is entertainment is now. Watching others at their lowest points and giggling about it..~Karma is a warrior...

Then I think about the context of the show..catching people in supposedly committed relationships cheating. I see the pain that it can cause..Have felt the pain that it can cause. Hear people say they would rather not know. Why fear? Better to know whats behind that closed door than risk it springing open (STDs)~Truth is a healer. ...

Now on to the kids..why is it that some women feel the need to scream "its not your baby anyway" when they find out a man has cheated. Why worry about trying to hurt him....you have that child to live your life for..anything else is just extra. I wish at times we could posses some of the qualities as adults that we do as children. The world would be better off~Innocence is a guide

For all the wondering I do, or anyone does for that matter..there are no concrete answers to some things...human emotion is a mutha...but we are by nature emotional creatures.Imagine how powerful we could be if we could keep the emotional aspect of some things in our daily life in check.Marvelous things could occur~Self control is a must.....
