Everybody's a star

Its easy these days to become an arthor of a best selling book all you have do is commit a crime or be involved in one or just be acquainted with someone that's disfunctional and boom you're on the best sellers list. You might even get a movie deal or a television special.But this isn't new like reality TV and tornadoes it comes in cycles (remember ,That's Incredible and Ripleys believe or not)I can't wait till this is over but I would really like to cash in on it while its fashionable. I know someone who says that they know someone who think that they might know someone who actually gave a thankyou wave when they were given a cut on a busy street and they did it while talking on their cell phone.wow courteous and talented I have got to locate that driver with the morals of a saint and the skills of a gymnast. now that's a best selling book.Do you know hard it is to find a driver with more skills than a chimpanzee. They applie makeup and they wreck,they drink coffee and they wreck, they try to eat a full course meal and they wreck.And then there's the phantom waver so skilled,so agile ,so chaching worthy. I got to get her story.

Its hot

Its hot enough to fry an egg on the sidewalk if that's how you like to cook your eggs. Its better to stay indoors under the fan. The brightness of the sun says come out but the heat says don't you dare and I can see that heat stroke peeking from behind that tree waiting on me.No i,ll sit here in my sun dress that wont see the sun today and get up every once in awhile and walk to the screen door and look out while wiping my forehead with a cool glass of ice tea. You know its funny how the kids cant hear you when you tell them to stop jumping on the bed but can hear the icecream man ten blocks away. Well alright here's the money. And by the way get me a bombpop and don't step on my egg it looks almost done

Moon walker

So mike gets to to moon walk away from an alledged child molestation conviction. I guess having money is an automatic get of jail card. People with money don't have to go to jail.i am not sure if he is guilty or not the circumstances surrounding him does seem strange an adult sharing a bed with kid that isn't related is odd. Sharing a bed with a kid that's related is annoying.like oj and Robert Blake and the ramseys he'll always have the air of suspicion around him and of course he,ll have his fans saying that hes just trying to relive the childhood that he never had but most people who want to recapture their youth dress up as aliens and go to startrek conventions and hang out with other people their ages I'm sure that there are adult peter pan fans out there somewhere

The sly fox knows many little tricks

When he was little my brothers friend told him that he knew where they could get some sweet plums fresh off the tree, they were in an neighbors yard. The old lady that lives there didn't care but they had to climb the fence to get them. My brother said that he thought that that didn't sound to good but the idea of getting some plums drowned out that noise so to the yard and over the fence they went they were so busy picking the sweet and juicy plums they didn't see the old lady and her grown son approach. She grabbed them and asked, what are you doing in my yard. My brother said he tried to explain to the lady how his friend told him it was okay by her.His friend told him that they had to climb the fence because the lady didn't want them walking through her house.The lady told her son to call the cops. He said the lady looked at them both when she said that they were going to go to jail then still staring at them she said I'm going to tell your mamas.She then turn to her son and and said you know what to do.She held on to my brother for a few minutes then let him. Go back over the fence the way you came she said.So back over the fence he went and home to mama waiting on the porch with a belt. The sly fox knows many littletricks but the hedgehog knows one big one

Color struck

My mom told that there was a church near her when she was a little girl that had a comb hanging in the door and if your hair got tangled in the comb you couldn't enter the church.it was a colored church 'as they used to say back then'.As I grew up and studied black American history I found out that some churches even had a paper bag test if your elbow was darker than a brown paper bag you couldn't enter that church.all of this came to my mind while I was watching a few rap videos. It seems that the person or people that audition dancers (if you can call them that )uses the same methods (and they say that they are not old school).Even athletes and movie star seem to use the same methods. Maybe there's a kit that you can buy from the drug store right next to the magnum condoms or maybe they give them out at the barber shop because it seems only men uses it.women just go out find someone white.movie and television producers get a kit when hired.that and a clause in their contract saying that they can never make a movie for kids starring a black kid unless he's a cartoon.i am not dumping on people with light skin its just that we come in such a large range of colors.its like a field of flowers. We should take in all of its beauty and not limit ourselves

My pain your pain

The lady's face was was the definition of pain if you looked up the word pain in the dictionary her face would be right beside it and the only thing that could make it go away was marijuana. Weed, good weed, BC bud,hydro,the stickiest of the stickicky but the feds said no its against the law and enforcing the law is more important than relieving pain right?.Other people have pain you don't see them running home to fire up a fat one right?.Well pain isn't the same for everyone each person have their own set of pain receptors. You cant possibly know the real pain that someone else feels. You might sympathize with them or you might ignore them but you can never know what feelings are flowing through their bodies or how intense the pain is to them .Well your isn't like my pain when I hurt I can take a tylenol.when you are hurting and throwing from up chemotherapy the law says,well that too damn bad.

Semper Fi

My 18 year old son called home last night from Okinawa Japan, he said hello from the future. It was Thursday in Japan it was Wednesday here it was good to hear from him. I tend to worry about him with a war going on and all .I had hoped that the war in Iraq would be over by the time he had finished boot camp but it still rages on and it will be two years before I see him again after 18 years of being a mother to him it was hard to see him leave .But there comes a time when the boy becomes a man and strikes out on his own.i wanted him to go to college but he had other ideas. So he went his own way and that's good because after all its his life and he has to make his own decisions now
