Oh My! Oh Myspace!!!

Okay, I decided to get back on myspace (for the third time) ONLY to get the word out there about my blog. It's easy to get "friends" on there and it's usually easy to find your real friends & sometimes it's a little too easy for people to find YOU! I left this last time because being that we are alive at such a significant time for human existence, I was tired of all the superficial, ego-driven energy coming from myspace. Anyway- I decided to join again a few days ago & of course- I see now that they have added politics to one of there categories. Uh Duh!!! Finally Tom! I mean we only vote next month! How long has this campaigning been going on? But that's not what is triggering this blog-NOW that I'm back-I CAN'T EVEN LOG ON!!!! Are you kidding me? All this myspace technical error crap. C'mon now. I really don't want to have to join boring a*s Facebook again!

PEACE & LOVE.

(Untitled) The Chosen Few

I stand on the roof
And look down at the town
With my riverfront view
Even the water is brown
Noise & chaos surrounds me
I wish not for a sound
I close my eyes for a minute
To make my heartbeat slow down

They talk so loud
But I don't hear a thing
Everyday I tell myself
That today I'll be clean
I learn everyday
Folks are not what they seem
The darkness moves over to shadow my gleam

I was dead
I mean I moved & I walked & I talked
But at that three o'clock hour
In my mind I felt stalked by my faults
Before I knew it
It seemed nothing was clear
I see a reflection of myself
But am I really here?

I got lost in it
I got lost in you
And for a little minute
My perception was askew
I know that I don't know
What it is I thought I knew
Longing to be part of
And among the chosen few

Well Put John Lewis!

I just finished reading The Buzz on Yahoo. Something I normally don't do unless a headline grabs my attention and today's headline began with the McCain/Palin party not having "a stellar weekend" like Brittany (oh brother). Anyway, the article goes on to say how John Lewis, a civil rights figure and someone who McCain himelf once recognized as one of the three wise people he'd consult as president, condemned their campaign for "sowing seeds of hatred and division". How eloquently put-especially considering that outbursts like "Kill Him" & "He's (Obama) a terrorist!" have been shouted out at the recent Republican rallies. I heard one man, as he was surrounded by a sea of geriatric caucazoids say that "he (Obama) is not one of us". What the *%$ is that supposed to mean. Just come out & say it, ya know-like you were at your kitchen table. I'm just ESTATIC that true colors are beginning to show...and all this time you thought black people were paranoid and unjustifiably "angry". I hope some of you Obabma haters don't go postal if he wins. We don't need a larger scaled Jena 6 happening - America the Beautiful. To all you nut jobs out there: Keep it together. He's only half Negro!

The New "Bush's" Coin

Call me late but I just got an e-mail that on the new coin, the phrase "In God We Trust" is omitted. Ummm...had any other president suggested this omittion it might not seem so scary-but it does make sense to have this happen during the spawn of satan's reign. But after all, we are a country where God is refered to by different names-So maybe someone was offended by the term. Anyway-the American coin should say: In Currency We Trust. And we can't even say that anymore. Maybe In Greed or Oil We Trust. Oh gosh-I have so many ideas! Good luck everyone!

~Peace~

In Reference to the Blog Below...

...That is not to take away from the fact that given our history-we've become a nation where it is possible for a black man to run for president (granted -if you really think about it, that is such a trivial & superficial topic to secretly and for some, openly focus on). Why wouldn't, shouldn't or couldn't a black PERSON or any other PERSON run for president? It's silly really.
~Peace~
