No Bad News

I wish that we could all wake up to this. No more bad news, no more war, no more victims of sexual abuse, physical violence and emotional assault. Yet I start preparing my psyche for what negative sustenance the world has in store.

I'm having a Wiz moment and the words of Evilene are screaming in my head...

"Don't you ever bring me no bad news, cuz I'll make you an offer, chile, that you cannot refuse, so don't nobody bring me NO BAD NEWS!!!"

What is it exactly that has me fuming this breezy December afternoon?
  1. The murder-suicide of another young and thriving somebody. I don't follow sports, but when I came across this sad story on The Root about Kansas City Chief play Jovan Belcher and his girlfriend, I bit my tongue til it bled. Prayers and condolences to the families, friends, teammates, and so forth. This is another unnecessary tragedy in an already chaotic world.  
  2. Another school shooting, this time at a Wyoming community college. A professor and another student were killed before the suspect shot himself in front of students. I can barely finish reading this article in the Missoulian website; the livid tears are blurring my vision.
If I were to continue this list, I wouldn't finish until 2013...literally. I sincerely have nothing else to say except please stop scaring our children and stop killing off our earthly brothers and sisters. They always say things will get worse before they can get better. Maybe I'm just being extremely human today. I mean, 2 Tim 3:1-5 says it right there in black and white, that men will be...without self control...and having no natural affection...during critical times hard to deal with.

I can see that and it hurts like battery acid to flesh. We gotta neutralize this pain.
Period.

Hopefully, a brighter post another time...

Top 10 Interesting Highlights of my Summer

10) One week before I went to NYC, my mother allowed me to hack away at our tree with a chain saw. The left over wood will be used for seating stumps and shelves we plan to build in our house. 9) I was stressed during the semester that I wouldn't get into any of the 30 internships that I applied for and I was blessed with two of them: Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia for Web Productions and Honey Magazine for writing. Now, I will finish my degree in December!!!! 8) During my lunch hour, I walked 20 blocks around West Chelsea, and lost 15 lbs as a result...I like this :0). 7) I realized that the city is both expensive but awesome for bargains (bought the cutest bag for $10)! 6) Prince was in NYC at the Apollo at the beginning of June with song diva Mariah Carey...how did I miss this????? [Photo courtesy of www.lovebscott.com] 5) Piggy-backing off of highlight number 7, did I really spend $22.50 on a sandwich, chips, green tea and a Boston creme cheesecake? 4) I found myself floating

Another Google Adventure

As I sit here listening to Jennifer Hudson's new album, I'm reflecting on the latest news stories that have been popping up for the last 24 hours via the internet and radio stations. This is what I came up with so far: Legendary Hollywood icon, Elizabeth Taylor, dead at age 79 Elizabeth Taylor's Final Resting Place Water poisonous for Tokyo infants Japan struck by another major earthquake Another Chris Brown thing Another Charlie Sheen thing Ohh, comparing Chris Brown and Charlie Sheen (Breezy brought up a good point, but I digress) Little girl loses leg saving her sister N----r Heaven...? What does baby mama mean? Now, because I choose not to tell you, the free-willed citizen who reads whatever your heart oh so desires, what to do, I'll let you pick out which one of these stories is more important to you. I'll just end this post with words from my sister's status... RIP Liz Taylor but there's still entire families dying in Libya right now... P.S., realizin

Redirecting the Dopeness

As [somewhat] normal human beings, we fight daily battles to preserve our lives as well as our minds. We fight to... maintain spiritual enrichment of the self (and family) express ourselves in a free yet firm form have time away from our quotas, goals, and missions for peace of mind manage the home along with the career  avoid late payments More can be added to this list, but you catch my drift, yes? Ok, moving forward... Mental trauma interjects itself into your plan, beautifully unscheduled. It can range anywhere from mild depression to extreme chaos on the job. Whatever is ensuing personally begins to take an effect on your performance professionally. How so? Let's take a trip back to basics. What is the perceived threat that's affecting how you work? Is it leaking into your office, food intake, and service to your customers or clients (WELCOA Letting Go of Stress). Is this stress tangible or invisible? Is it a temporary feeling of emotional discomfort or an exte
