Food for Thought

Lost in a big sense
Necessary to the core
Calling yourself free?

There is a price to
be paid for deliberate
ignorance and such.

Do not tell me that
God does not exist today.
You chose to pretend.

Bullycide: An Ageless Problem

"Kids will be kids." "It's a right of passage." Stop lying to me and stop lying to yourselves! If it's not that big of a deal, why are hundreds of kids taking their own lives at the peak of puberty? Schools, the workplace and social media are some places where bullying is making a popular trend. Wait, let me take that back. There is nothing popular about this because the violence and deaths are starting to spark attention. It's awful that blood has to be shed in order to acknowledge an ageless problem. As if the world doesn't have enough problems, bullycide is another problem/issue/epidemic that we humans have to analyze. Bullycide is the reaction to atempt suicide triggered by ruthless bullying from peers and associated depression, according to Joyce Bender . It surprises me that people who are so unhappy with their situations in life contrive clever ways to harass, dehumanize, and devalue another innocent human being just for a hobby. At the sa...

More than a Job

"What do you want to be when you grow up?" This is the first of many questions most people remember from their childhood. As time goes on, aspirations begin to change with life experiences. In most cases, what starts out as a job becomes an occupation and eventually turns into a career. It's easy to think of jobs, occupations, and careers as the same thing.

Jobs can be defined as positions consisting of duties and tasks performed by a person in exchange for payment on either a full-time or part-time basis. These paid positions serve as a purpose for one to make and save money for something else, such as rent or mortgage or a new car. Some people work at a job mainly to make ends meet while others utilize all of their effort and energy to do their responsibilities as well as learn new skills.

He Takes after his Uncle[s]

Most people who know me know I'm a Jackson fan. Michael, Janet, Jermaine, Marlon...all of them have songs that have been added to my life's soundtrack. It was no surprise to me when I started hearing about Austin Brown. I just did a post on this talented musician in Stimulation Status Magazine  and I just can't believe the overall sound that comes out of this man. As he states in his interviews with AOL and Lopez Tonight, he combines elements from Stevie Wonder to the Four Tops to the Jackson 5ive and amps it up with his creativity and energy. Personally, "All I Need" is on my list of wedding songs. I could sit here and blog about how much of a powerful force music can be and is to many individuals, but as I sit here bouncing in between "All I Need" and "Menage a Trois," with people watching me nod my head at the library, I really just wanna dance. I can't wait for 85 to drop, but I have no choice. If there is one quality that every Ja...
