Skip Gates and Racsim

I have to tell you I love reading the newspaper, however this mornig was an excption,. My hero a gentlemen that I admire had a mug shot in this morning's paper. Here is the irony the first African American President was on the cover of the newspaper so I started reading the paper with a smile. And then I got to that page. What page? The page where a Harvard educated man had a mug shot becuase of an arrest. Why was he arrested? Well he was trying to get into his own home on the campus where he is a tenured proffesor. Someone called the police becuase they thought that Dr. Gates was breaking in his own home. After he showed his Harvard ID and an ID to show his address of the home he was in he was still arrested The police officer said the 5' 7"/150 lb Gates was disorderly to a police officer with a gun in Cambridge. HMMMMMMMMMM. I know Obama gave a speech last week about no exuses and about hard work , but that is what Dr. Gates has done all of his life and he still ended up with an arrest and a mugshot. Are there really no more exuses?


Here is an update about the case.

RIP MJ

TO ALL

I will continue to blog tomorrow but I don't feel too much like blogging today.

So as the world says good bye to MJ today so do I.

MJ and Me

I it safe to say I had a wonderful childhood. It was not perfect but it was one filled with parents who loved me,brothers who I laughed with and the music of Micheal Jackson. My earliest memory of a Micheal Jackson song was at the end of my Headstart graduation, my teacher put on the song ABC and while the other kids were shy I danced, danced and danced. When Micheal Jackson sang "shake it shake it baby" I did and according to my Mom I was the star of the show.

When I was about 11 years old my cousins took me to see tHE JACKSON FIVE and I remember being mad because my cousins go to wear thier fly clothes (hot pants and tube tops) and Mommy made me wear jeans and a t-shrit. I was prepared to wear a crush velvet purple and pink dress and dreamed of MJ noticing me and whisking me off to California where we would have a wedding to end all weddings.

I saw him years later at Soilder Field in Chicago when he reunited with his brothers for the Victory tour and I was horse from screaming his name.

Over the years Micheal got stranger and lighter but whenever there was a family gathering we would always play his musick, dance and laugh about our crushes on the Jackson Five. Micheal changed but our love affair with his music did not

This past Thursday I lost my first love my first crush my first guy. I will miss him and all that he was and I am glad he left us so much to remember him by. He was BAD and he was a THRILLER!!!

Palin Needs to Study Hillary.

One of the things that I am learning in life is that if you want to be successful in a certain are look and study people who have been successful in that arena. If I wanted to be successful in marriage and mothering I would look to my Mother and Michelle Obama. Oprah Winfrey would be my model to be successful businesswomen and entrepreneur. If I could get five minutes of face time with Sarah Palin I would tell her to study, study and study Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. Mrs. Clinton has handled whatever life has thrown at her with grace and strength. She has done it I under the scrutiny of the media and landed as one of the most powerful women in the world. While late night hosts and comedians were making fun of her husband and her she spent the time preparing herself for greater things and by doing so having the last laugh.



During the last election I enthusiastically supported President Obama but I was overly impressed with Mrs. Clinton and I knew that no matter who was the Democratic nominee would eventually win the November election and be a successful President. Mrs Clinton is strong, knowledgeable , tough and capable. In other words SHE IS A BAAAAAAAAAAAAAD GIRL.


So my advice to Mrs. Palin is quite simple study your foreign policy, figure out that Africa is a continent with counties, get some Black and Hispanic friends (listen to them) and study Hillary Clinton because she is a true model of success.
