WOMEN:The Greatest Value on the Planet

Image
This is something that has frustrated me for a very long time....The value place upon women is at an all time low. I just read an article about the plight of the Afghan woman named Gulnaz. She was place in jail for two years for reporting her rape by a cousin through marriage. She was charged with adultery and was sentence without the cousin being brougth before the courts. She has spent at least two years in jail and also gave birth to her daughter by this cousin while in prison. Well she was recently released after pressure by the EU press, and only if she agreed to become the second wife of the cousin that raped her.  According to the Afghan culture if a woman marries the father of the child, that was born out of wedlock, this would legitimizes the child, and saves her from ridicule of the Afghan society. This has really struck a cord with me because the value of a woman is so low, that her body can be violated in such a way that it doesn't matter what she feels or thinks. I

I have been reading this book call "The Art of Leading Yourself" the author is a Randi Noyes. I find that this book is something that anyone who wants some self improvement may want to read..... When I get restless I have a tendency to wander through the library trying to find something that will stimulate my mind and also relieve me of my boredom. That when I ran across this 147 page gem of a book....The first thing that intrigued me about this book was of course the title...."The Art of Leading Yourself".....I was hooked right from the start.....It is impossible for me to put down anything that has too do with self improvement.....and to think that someone would even suggest that leading yourself was and art form was really interesting..... I read the book from cover to cover in a matter of three day....The information that is contained in this book was something that was indeed very interesting and that it gave me some very juicy tid-bits that I could sink my

New Problem for the unemployed: Job-less Discimination

Image
Well it's isn't enough that the newly unemployed must face the uncertainty of the future. With high unemployment, the homeless population growing, more American without health insurance, and the cost of health care growing. How much more can people take?????  If you think that plate is holding too much bullshit now, well make room and add some more.....it call Job-Less Discrimination Now I know that I'm off the grid a lot of times and I don't keep up with the latest  bullshit that airs of TV or cable these days, so I play catch-up on current event, and in doing so, I come across some of the most insane bullshit that is out there. Well people this is one of those occasions that just makes you say "Dam"!!!!  My friend had this link on his page that I found very interesting. The article talks about a practice that goes on among some business, they practice not hiring people that are unemployed......If you are like me you're saying to yourself "what

Why Do Men Lie?????

Image
Well Ladies I guess this is an age old question, "Why do men Lie?"  Well if you're like me, and wonder why there seems to be no answer. Well I have come a cross this video on U-tube from one of my friends, It is so funny but very interesting. So if you are scratching your head, and pulling out your hair by the root, because you just caught your man in another lie. Before you commit homicide take a look at this video, not only will it make you laugh, but it can give you some insight into his behavior. Then you can better decide if you will dump his ass, or keep his ass.... it is your choice. http://youtu.be/Lpa2YuCw0kg Make sure you're taking notes: really funny enjoy!!!!!!!!!!

Whaaat!!!! I'm not Black enough

Image
I got up this morning and turned on my radio to listen to my favorite morning show. I must say I am alway surprised to hear about another person criticising Barack Obama on his Blacknees. http://www.google.com/search?q=pic+of+president+obama&rls=com.microsoft:en-us:IE-SearchBox&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=ie7&rlz=1I7GGLT_en Someone please tell me what does it mean to be Black enough. Please some one chime in on this shit..... It seem that it is a never ending line of folks Black and White who will stand up to pull something out of there A.... just to have something to say to get their time in the spotlight. All of the thing that is going on in this country and around the world, people are still trying to determine if President Obama is black enough. I just don't understand that kind of question, what in hell does it mean to be Black enough. From the looks of his skin and the hell that he must endure to do his job. I can say with confidence that, 1) he is black

Next time the World end, will someone send me a memo!

Hey why didn't anyone tell me that the world was going to end.  I don't think that was at all fair. I have been having my head stuck in a book all week and had not thought of turning on the TV, or reading any news. So I missed the end. Dam! The way that I found out that the end was near was after the event. I just happened to tune in to some of my neighbors talking about the end of the world and that it was suppose to happen Saturday. When I finally figured out that today was the day I was totally shocked. Man I just got to stay tuned in for pete sakes, what's going to happen the next time the world end, I have got to be ready to have some good sex a a moments notice. http://www.google.com/search?q=pic+of+2011+end+of+the+world&rls=com.microsoft:en-us:IE-SearchBox&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=ie7&rlz=1I7GGLT_en  Look what I will miss out on.
