I have a question..

America has been dealing with some serious societal issues as of late. The education system is on a downfall, Congress is fighting against the current President, President Obama is being disrespected by every facet of the media, inner cities are virtually imploding on themselves, the environment is being ripped apart by markets, America's use of oil continues and has the potential to ruin the economic system

AND....

PEOPLE HAVE THE NERVE TO B WORRIED ABOUT IDRIS ALBA PLAYING THOR IN A MOVIE!!

Are you serious!? I won't state my opinion on the matter because it's irrelevant at this time. My friend sent me an article discussing the situation today and after reading it I sat down and read the comments. And I was astonished after being being called a Nigger one night at school by some upset white people and then reading those comments there is no way people can tell me that racism doesn't exist still in this country! The comments people made were astonishing. From what I thought Thor was a Nordic God but apparently there is some European Pagan Religion that I need to brush up on. So I won't speak too much on that...but from my understanding he was a God and just because he was portrayed as white does that mean he really was? Again not the point....

I just can't believe that people are so focused on this movie that Domestic and world issues get swept under the rug. I just had to get that off my chest.

Where to start?

I have been off of work since September 19th and one would think that I would be losing my mind. While there are days I am sitting in my house pulling my hair out I have been surprisingly content. Which is more than a blessing. I have been able to take care of myself and not stress too much. So with that being said here's the rundown: 1. I have a freaking cast!! I have never broken anything so this is new to me! I HATE IT!!  Mostly because it's on my dominate hand and my whole life has been complicated! All of this for a torn/out of place tendon. Which mind you I hurt in July! Either way I'm trying to let my wrist heal and all that jazz. Just know that because it's hard to type it will be harder for me to post. 2. I just received another heart break. I have really been trying to not let this bother me but it's hard. I have always been good enough to be a friend or almost a Girlfriend but never that. At some point you stop thinking that something is wrong with ev...

Am I pretty?

This is a question I ask myself on a regular basis. And the typical answer would be no. I have never considered myself pretty. There are time when I see myself in the mirror or look at picture and wonder if that's actually me. I know exactly where this stems from and I'm not fishing for compliments. Which is usually the response I get from people. They either try to help me figure out why I believe this or tell me to be quiet I should know I'm beautiful. And honestly I don't. I wish people could comprehend that it's so hard for me to think highly of myself. I just think that I'm average. Nothing more just average. I long to think of myself as gorgeous, beautiful, pretty. Someone that men and women alike were in awe of their beauty. I just want to feel beautiful and don't know how to....

"1 to the head now you know he dead..."

Like everyone else in America I have just watched Rihanna'a "Man Down" video. Now if you haven't seen it already I suggest you watch it before continue to read my post. Only because you might be confused when I make specific references! Now to my personal opinion: I want to begin by thanking Rhianna. I feel that what she has done is very worthwhile given her previous release of S & M. I won't lie and tell you that when that song came on I sang along like everyone else. Even though I'm not really a fan of whips and chains and all that other jazz but it was just so darn catchy! I'm getting off topic again. Man Down for me was one of Rihanna's most moving videos and songs to date. I believe she took a chance on taboo topic. Most of the arguments have been that the opening image of the video is "too graphic." Really? I find that hard to believe. I know that, I like many Americans, have been de-sensitized to violence. So that could be part of ...
