Sentenced to 8 years

She was sentenced for shooting her friend twice in the stomach. She believed she stole her $2,000 dollars. That's not worth being convicted.....

Remy Ma called herself a thug.... and now she is. Ask and you shall receive.....I couldn't imagine being locked up in a cell for 8 years....... Just thinking about something like that gives me the creeps. She had the fame, the money I suppose and she ended with a gun acting like a thug.........

Don't Vote for Me

This has been the busiest year of my life. In that regards I have not been able to do many of the things I used to enjoy. For instance, I don’t watch the American Idols like I used to do. As I type on the computer, I listen, not look at the performances. Thus, I can really hear the voices. From this I knew who would go and who should have stayed. But public opinion and votes counts. So imagine how disappointing this season has been. Singers who were really good were sent off too soon and others got a major pass.

This week was the only real week I was shocked. Jason oh course, sounded horrible. But voters have been trying to send Syesha home for weeks. Truthfully to me she is the best female singer this season but neither the audience nor Simon wants her. Why! Simon wants someone who will sell Cd’s. Syesha could sell a million units but David and Ryan would sell more and have more longevity. See most of the people I know would burn a CD before buying one. This certainly affects artists like former Idols Ruben and Fantasia.

Jason has been accused of mouthing, "don’t vote for me". I wondered had he not, would the public have voted him off. Clearly he was ready to go. I think he wanted Syesha to stay because she performed way better than he did. Simon on the other hand has his mind on the money maker. Therefore, the real meaning of this show has been lost….

Crying All the Way to the Gas Station

My husband left the gas credit card out yesterday and I picked it up and looked at the balance. My husband always pay the entire balance off monthly because he is a very conservative person and doesn’t like to pay finance charges or as he say give money away for nothing. So usually when I see a bill it has a zero balance. This time though he wanted my daughter and I to see how much money we are paying and maybe this would encourage us to stop driving around just to be doing so.

As I scanned the bill, I just about dropped to the floor when I saw that we owed $891.00 for one month of gasoline. What the heck! We have three cars. Each of us fills up weekly. Normally charges had been around 500 hundred a month. This is ridiculous too. Let’s see how I could spend $891.00. I could purchase grocery for a month, pay my trash and water bill, and my electric bill which runs around $150.00 or less per month and my cable bill. Or maybe I can purchase me a car and still have money left over for other things. But $891.00 month for gasoline……..geez…I am in the wrong business.

Say No to Drugs

There should never be any new drug users. Why would anyone in their right mind want to become like a common crack head, drug user, or alcoholic when they have seen how horrible these addicted people become as they search for their next fix? Actually I have seen drug users at their worst. Pleading and begging both males and females to participate in sexual activities for pay so that they can purchase their next high. After seeing some of these addicted people turning any kind of sexual tricks, why on earth would you try drugs?

My 7th grade teacher was extremely good looking, professional and young. He spent a lot of time fighting off teen girls and putting us in our place. We thought he walked on water. When I returned from college, I saw him at a basketball game. He seemed out of sorts, weird, crazy looking. I saw him walk up to a man at the game and ask him if he could su*k his penis for money and the man cold cocked him. Later that night I learned that my 7th grade teacher and several of the other teachers (his friends) were all crack heads. That broke my heart.

There were four of them as I recalled. One committed suicide citing he could not stand or stop who he had become. Another died of a massive heart attack while using drugs, one lost his teaching license, his wife and respect, dated the students, and is still a crack head bum. Dang that African American was fine and cute with blue eyes. A waste.....My former teacher saw me once and asked me for a quarter. I did not give it to him. I hated seeing him that way. Finally, he was shot up at a drug house and ended up in a coma for about four years before he died.

Today I read about this actor.....the CSI investigator that everyone loves. All you hear is, he is so fine, and he is so this and that...All I can say is he is so stupid....... Why on earth would a person use drugs when they have seen the addiction, the harm, and the pain? No! There should not be any new cases of users......

So why is this man so Stupid?

Thinking of You

I miss visiting everyone’s blog and finding out what you all have been up too. This is a very busy time of the year for me. There has been so many major changes happening and so much work to do. My daughter is home now. After the murder of my nephew we decided to bring her home due to the talk about revenge and retaliation. We did not want her to end up in the cross fire. Plus she was saying she did not like the school and only stayed this long because she was able to see her grandmother often. To make a long story short, the gang that the folks were affiliated with who killed my nephew tried to kidnap his 13 year old sister from her junior high school. It was stopped by the school and the perpetrators were arrested. So we are glad that we brought our daughter home. My husband felt like this gang would go after other teens in the family and he was right. She is attending a local college and just secured a good job in her field. She is a full time student and works 6 hours a day. She is so happy and so are we. The money we are saving is astronomical and that is so good………

As you all know we received a grant for my non-profit organization. I had to hire people, set up systems for checks, revise all our publicity materials and I am getting ready to move into my new office. My publishing company just completed five books and signed two new authors. In addition to this being tax time, it has been super busy. But I shall return by next week and I will start visiting you all later this week…..

Eventually I’ll have to decide who I am and what I want to be when I grow up. Running two companies and a household and still working is way too much…….

Have a good rest of the week and know that I am anxious to return to blogging.

Looking Back’

When I was young in the Baptist Church we always did those sweet little Easter Plays. My family has always been Christians and regular church members. We were also very active. As a child we spent many hours practicing for our Easter speeches, too excited and hardly able to wait until we stood before our families, visitors and friends and recited our hard learned speeches. Even to this day, I still remember some of the speeches I practiced to say.

When I was about three I remember this one:

I’m just a little Easter Lillie……….

That was all and folks would just clap for me.

Then when I was about five I would say:

See my pretty little Easter egg, (holding up for the audience to see)
Don’t you think it’s pretty?
If I happened to let it fall, (dropping it to the floor hard enough for it to crack)
Won’t it be a pity?

Well, last night I watched my daughter take my place being the Easter Bunny making and delivering baskets and coloring eggs for my six grand nieces and nephews and for 17 other children. It’s funny to see how traditions are passed from generations to generations.

Happy Easter to you all!
