The news covers kids getting too fat in school, and the latest murder in the ghetto... Life isn't all that bad guys. Walk outside. A bolder isn't going to immediately fall on you. The news teases you to scare you and makes you want to come back for more....or else they wouldn't wait to bring you the latest headlines right after the commercial break. It's sad really. We live in a world where entertainment news is more important than hard news. Where Tom Cruise dined yesterday is more important to people than who is going to run this country in 2012. Barak Obama crossed over into popular culture which helped propel him to get elected in my opinion. Anyway, the news is pointless to watch and take seriously. The only day the news was pure in my lifetime was 9-11. No commercials. No leads. It was just people covering what we needed to know and see. Thank God for Ron Burgandy.
I say this in wake of the Andre Davis case. He's the guy in trouble for not disclosing he had HIV to a bunch of chicks. I have learned that a few of my friends know him personally. Not like that, but they know him. I learned that what he did is being blown way out of proportion by the media, and he is a really nice person. He was a wrestler and quit to protect people from the disease. He always used a condom and honestly didn't know the rules of disclosure. He is guilty of being dumb, but it would be nice to have some balanced and fair news. I'd like to hear the other side.
So has Black Friday become a bigger holiday than Thanksgiving? I am sitting here at work and all people are talking about is sales and stuff. Let's not forget about THANKSgiving. Give thanks. Be thankful. You know it's that day before you all go out and act like maniacs in the wee hours of the morning. It's a celebration of thanks. Eat some turkey and dressing and forget about all those sales. There are some things more important in life than a few sales. Here are a few things I am thankful for... my family. If you know me, you are aware we are a tight nit group and no matter what stupid things I do, they always have my back even if all I do is tease Laura and Sarah hates my facial hair. My dad is as cool as they come and my mother is as nice. I'd like to think I am a reflection of both of them in the way I live. Without my mother helping me through some of the roughest times of my life, I would've given up and I wouldn't be typing this blog for you today.
I am also thankful for my friends. Nicolette, April, Stuart, Mindy, Brittney, Jill, Mallory, Robert and so many more... without you all I wouldn't have experienced some of the best times of my life. I have spotlighted April and Mindy in previous blogs, so now it is Nicolette's turn. I will get to all of you eventually. I mean writing 5 days a week is going to give me plenty of time to give shout outs to all of my friends. She has helped me through a lot this weekend during a rough patch I had. She drops everything just to make me feel better. Our friendship began in a strange way, but once we realized what the relationship was, it all made sense. She takes care of me and I take care of her. I look over her and protect her as she does me. She has the same sense of humor as me and she can make me laugh as much as I make her and it's hard for me to admit that because I believe myself to be the funniest person alive. The first time we hung out, I said if I could make her laugh, she'd have to hang out again and of course I took care of that in the first five minutes. For some reason she said she wanted an eye patch and I being blonder than Sarah in this moment said, "What's that some sort of new Apple product?" I heard it as IPatch. But thanks Nicolette for being there for me. I know you have my back in any situation and no matter if everyone turns on me you will still be in your corner, and I will be in yours wiping off the blood and sweat with my trainer's robe on.
I must also say I am thankful for my health. Yeah I complain a lot about being diabetic and all that jazz, but there are much worse problems. Andre Davis and his alleged victims have HIV. I can't imagine what they go through. And cancer. Gosh cancer. I have seen it take way too many lives and Satan must be present on this earth some days with what I've seen people go through. I lost my grandmother to cancer after she had beaten 3 different types before. I lost my uncle to cancer, and it broke my heart to see my cousins at the funeral. My prayers go out to anyone that has bad health. No one has done anything bad enough to deserve the torment that these people go through.

ReplyDelete1) I agree, the news is ridiculous and uninformative. I can't blame the newscasters or even the producers, they are nothing but human puppets. Yeah yeah, I know this sounds weird and dramatic but hear me out. The puppeteers are the illuminati. I believe in the illuminati exists 100 percent. At first I thought it was ridiculous and stupid but when I actually began researching, it is clear that they run this country. I can't even listen to the radio anymore without hearing the hidden messages in almost every song. A small example is Eminem and Lil Wayne's song. He says, "I know what THEY dont wanna tell you, just hope your heaven sent, and HELL PROOF". And... although Jay Z doesn't admit it, his lyrics are full of messages. Some artists sing about the struggle not to enter, or to get out of it... its ironic that when a musician speaks out against the illuminati their careers seem to fall apart, or they die. These lyrics were released after tupacs death:
ReplyDelete"They got me fiendin' for currency, the money be callin'
It's like I'm dreamin', see in season me ballin'
Participated in felonious behavior
Cock the cocked fo' five, snatchin' niggaz pagers
Labeled a mark soon as we start, it was hard to quit
We started out drinkin' forty's, moved to harder shit
God damn, now I'm a grown man, I follow no man
Nigga got my own plan, and it's called Killuminati"
I think he is saying that he was lured into this group because the money and fame seemed irresistible. Then he says he was labeled a mark, illuminati goes hand in hand with the devil. (mark of the beast) Then he says it was hard to quit. Its not easy to get out without dying. He then shows his frustration saying he is a grown man and won't follow it anymore... his plan is now KILLuminati. In other words, to take them down. He used his fame to speak out against the illuminati. Like I said, it always ends in death. This is why so many people think he might still be living somewhere, and that he faked his death to escape. People think he called himself Machiavelli because this was his plan all along, just like NIccolo Machiavelli, they assumed him using that name was a hint to his fans.
Okay, all that because you said the news is dumb... Well, just some information lol.
I also wanted to mention about the blog that I thought the transition from the black man with hiv to BLACK friday was rather comical. I doubt you did this on purpose but I found humor in it.
GOOD DAY.
