I know the Lord, he Heard my cry!!
We’ve Come this Far by Faith…. Leaning On the Lord, Trusting in His Holy Word… He Never Failed me Yet……. Oh, oh oh oh oh oh Can’t turn around we’ve come this Far by faith!
It’s been a long, long time comin but i know… change ‘gon come!
It’s been a long campain, there been blood, sweat, tears, racial slurs, sexism, mud slinging and fake attacks but it’s all over now. The whole world was watching this election and today We as a nation proved that we can be well rounded voters, proved that we can move past our differences and truly choose the best candidate. You’re too smart for the race baiting and fear tactics, you’re too savvy to vote based on just one issue! You’re too smart to be caught in the gimmicks! BE PROUD of yourselves!
I’m just holding back the tears. I went to my first Obama rally in March of 2007 and on that day I made my choice. I knew Barack was the person for the job. That rally had young white women, elderly white men, Latinos, blacks, asians etc. They all knew. And now the nation Knows. It’s been a long time Coming, but I know Change gon come…
Whether you voted for President Obama or not, it’s time to UNITE. Pray for our president elect.pray for his safety and wisdom, pray that God’s grace truely guides him. Pray for Sister Michelle that she and Barack can maintain the strong and loving marriage that they have. Pray for little Sascha and Malia, it’s hard to be a kid in the spotlight, much less in the White house. Those sweet little girls are going to be under so much scrutiny during those tough growing up years.
THERE’S GOT TO BE A MORNING AFTER!!!! IF WE CAN HOLD ON THROUGH THE NIGHT!!!
Now I know you’re wondering WHY this song is running through my head… i happen to think it’s very applicable. November 4th is here and pretty soon, the results will be in and someone will loose. Read the rest of this entry »
Sen. Obama is joyfully embraced by his grandparents at his college graduation
On the eve of this historic election, Madeline Dunham, the woman affectionately known as “Toot” passed away. She was a wife, a mother, and great-grandmother and most noteably the Grandma of Sen. Barack Obama. The woman the he said played an integral role in making him who he is today.
No matter how you feel about Barack Obama, Democrats, politics etc. it is sad to loose a family member particularly on the eve of such an important day. I want to extend my condolences to the Obama family. May Mrs. Dunham rest in peace and watch over the Obama family.
We need a little fun around here, so I’m going to tell you that there’s talk of remaking one of the greatest movies of the eighties. No not School Daze, Ghost, Purple Rain, or the Color Purple. There’s talk of remaking the LAST DRAGON!! with Samuel L. Jackson as the ultimate antagonist “Sho-Nuff!” Read the rest of this entry »
I’m sooo GLAD that somebody made this video! Watch this!
There seems to be a major sense of “IGNORING” Sarah Palin’s record when it comes to issues that effect women. I’m not just talking about the whole pro-life vs. pro choice debate, I’m referring to an issue that could affect ANY woman of any age in every social class and culture and that is rape.
And watch this too Read the rest of this entry »
I’m so so so in love with the 5th graders from the Ron Clark Academy. They’ve taken TI’s “Whatever you Like”, changed the lyrics and made it applicable to the 2008 presidential election. The song is not only fun and cute it’s completely bi-partisan(which is mare than we can say for the stuff adults put into the media). Their teacher deserves a big fat raise for being filled with AWESOMENESS!! it takes a lot of work to get people involved in the politcal process. He’s found a way to teach the kids while making it fun for them. KUDOS!
BTW the Kids were on CNN too.
With all the talk of absentee ballots and early voting, it’s election time. Folks aren’t waiting until the 4th of November and one of the major things that people are going to the polls to vote on will be the state amendments. You haven’t heard much about that have you? Didn’t think so. I’ll skip the conspiracy theory speech and encourage you to research, research, and research! The amendments are not about blue donkeys or red elephants; you don’t have to stick with party lines or any of that. You do have to vote on what you want to see implemented in YOUR state! So get active and really dig past the surface.
I’m a Floridian, so I’m going to summarize the amendments that will be on the Florida state ballot. Please note that there are 6 amendments on the ballot BUT they skip numbers. 5,7,9 were removed from the ballot by the Florida Supreme Court (for vague language) Read the rest of this entry »
I have no witty comments for this. It’s just too sad
CHICAGO – The mother and brother of Jennifer Hudson were found shot dead Friday at a South Side home, and police were looking for a missing child who is the nephew of the singer and Oscar-winning actress.
“We can confirm that there is an ongoing investigation concerning the deaths of Jennifer Hudson’s mother, Darnell Donerson, and her brother, Jason Hudson,” Hudson’s personal publicist, Lisa Kasteler, said in a statement. “No further comment will be made and the family has asked that their privacy be respected at this difficult time.”
Police spokeswoman Monique Bond said the deaths appeared to be the result of domestic abuse.
Hallelujah! it’s over and now let the voting begin (Early voting that is)
I’m waiting for the Huff Post’s “body language analysis” although McCain’s calling Palin a “Breast of fresh Air” was the Feudian slip that told more than enough as to why he really picked Vice President “charge a rape victim.”
I’m all for civil, mature discussions and debates but please refrain from the excessive use of profanity or name calling, let’s keep it mature. =) Racial slurs against ANY ethnicity will not be tolerated, your post will be deleted and you will have just wasted your time posting that nonsense on here! PLEASE NO PERSONAL ATTACKS- it's ok to disagree but personal or mean spirited verbal attacks against a writer or a poster will not be tolerated. and try not to be the grammar police. I know it's hard to see poor spelling but what matters is the writer's contribution to the subject at hand.
I’m not sure who is or is not reading this blog, If you put your phone number or personal info on here who knows, your fave celebrity may see it and call you but he probably won’t. More realistically you’ve just exposed your contact info to thousands and possibly millions of other people; prank callers, harassers, pedophiles and who knows who else! So if you put your number on a comment I will take it down for your own safety.

You want to know about me??? Well I sing, often and I've been told I do it well, I love God, Family, friends (I love ya'll) and stillettos, quirky people, black history and MAC makeup, church, B.Scott youtube clips, great men, carnival food, babies, good weave and good drinks. I find joy in the most random things and l love really good comedians. I love language and questioning why we say what we say. I consider myself to be a critical consumer of the media and that's what led me to start this blog. I love to joke around and dance (yes even in church). If they were paying alot more I might consider being a teacher, but kids shoot now days so... never mind. overall I'm a lady, trying to be blessed so that I can bless others. that's a little bit about me. Enjoy my Blog!!
