- Today was crazy. You know that feeling that you are totally aware that you have made yourself look silly? When I think about today, I wish I had Spiderman to come ” save me ” like in the scene of Family Guy and let everyone around me who saw me doing something crazy hear Spiderman say, “Everybody Gets One!” LOL … SN: have to laugh at yourself sometimes … || Now I have to get it together || …
Let People Live .
My thoughts get heavy sometimes while analyzing the problems of the world. I know one person should not take all that on , but the feeling is indescribable and the empathy I have for the oppressed is r e a L. I read a Lot and follow patterns throughout history to find out how they can connect and relate today. It’s painful to read and be aware because I noticed so many people are oppressed and forced to live under the standards of what others think is right. There is no problem in being a devout religious follower or political leader, but when there is something that the masses don’t agree with, why not Let them be F r e e ? The people in power enjoy the luxury of lavishing in their own beliefs and living the lifestyle that suits them best, so why can’t the next [wo]man do the same ? Sure there are certain things that should not be debated such as, murder, rape, stealing etc.. But things like Sex, Love , Religious commitments , Marriage & other Lifestyle choices should be in the hands of the person that was granted the Free will like everyone on this Earth was given the opportunity to do. we ALL want to live comfortable and beyond if possible, but why tarnish another human’s Life to ensue that happiness ? I just cannot fathom all the people that have been beaten, ridiculed, abused, hurt, spat on, stifled, whipped, chained, handcuffed, made an outcast, or killed just for them not believing in the Same principles as the next man ? Not everyone will all be on one accord, but if everyone was granted the opportunity to express themselves and blossom into the people they were destined to be without the scowling and judging eyes of the social audience - wouldn’t Life be more fulfilling ? At the end of the day , we are ALL humans . We all laugh , cry , smile , frown , eat , Shit , bleed , hurt , feel - and one day we are all neutralized and no amount of money or power can save us from the inevitable d e a t h ; So until that day beckons each of us , why not Let People Live ? Respect others , do what makes you happy , enjoy your Life the way you want to , but give the next person a chance to experience that as well … just ,
Let People Live .
- Why i Love the iNternet
… I enjoy the internet more than ever. I understand the meaning of ’ sociaL networkin ’ . We discussed it class & broke down how it is a good thing to connect us all . I didn’t buy it at first &was skeptical to open mySelf up to the world - virtuaL . But since limiting my interactions w| different groups [reaL Life & internet] &keeping my social networking community & reality relatively small , I make my social network community embody my reaL life to the best I can - like we’re supposed to anyway .
In colloquial terms : iM keepin’ it ’ reaL ’ :) LMA0 smh. on a serious Note :
.. but then the emotionaL &wholesome accept that the internet provides have given me an appreciation for the internet . I am connected w| my family alL across the world , the FrieNds &many faces I have met at past schools , jobs , classrooms , &my FaMiLy that is just out of reach by a couple of hours away but deSpite the diStance , I have them here in 0ne place …
Crazy to thiNk about … Though I don’t see my friends or famiLy on a daily basis , when we do meet &reconnct- we pick up right where we ” Left off ” - - - from internet - to reaLity …
Valentine`s Day …
- The older I get the more I shun commercial holidays. I don`t celebrate “Valentines Day” , even when I was in a 3 year relationship , we acknowledged it , but did not make a big deaL of it … One thing I do Love about holidays like this is that it gives your mind a place in history to remember so that the following year , you can reminisce on what was going on in your life the previous year . It gives you a chance to reflect on what was going on the year before and it also is a chance to reflect on if you made any kind of change in your Life since then …
My Story ….
Sooo , a year ago on Valentine`s Day I was in a relationship & thought that I would rather be in a relationship than be alone. This thinking was damaging to my overall happiness and as a woman , my self confidence … Though I knew I wasn`t happy , I settled .. A year later I am single &have experienced soo many things , by myself , that I was once afraid to venture into. I look at this “Valentine`s Day” aS a salute to being better than I was before & a L0T stronger than I was before. I have also developed a Love & a stronger relationship w| my famiLy & Friends that I almost ignored because I was wrapped in a reLationship..
—- > Which is why I am truly at peace on this day & I am genuinely happy for couples who choose or choose not to celebrate Valentine`s Day because that is what makes them happy . At the end of the day happiness & contentment is all that matters & I can thankfully say that I have both .. Just because I am Single does N0T mean I do not want Love , but through time & experience I know now , I will Not settle for anything just to feel Something . Love will come , when it iS supposed to …
Black History Month fact #10
The Shabaka Stone is one of the most important relics to be discovered from Kemet, next to the Rosetta Stone.
It is named after the “black” Pharaoh Shabaka (ca.712- 698 BCE), who ruled in the XXVth Dynasty (ca. 716 - 702 BCE) and who’s Old Kingdom styled prenomen name (“Neferkare”) is mentioned twice (in LINE 1). The black African Nubian Shabaka was the first king of the “Ethiopian” Dynasty to reunite Kemet by defeating the monarchy of Sais while settling in Memphis. Memphis was the ancient capital of Kemet, founded by Pharoah Menes.
The Shabaka Stone lays the foundation for the Memphite Theology, which was the foundational spiritual teaching of Kemet presented by Pharaoh Menes. It centers Ptah as the creator of the universe:
This it is said of Ptah: “He who made all and created the gods”. And he is Ta-tenen, who gave birth to the gods, and from whom every thing came forth, foods, provisions, divine offerings, all good things.
This it is recognized and understood that he is the mightiest of the gods. Thus Ptah was satisfied after he had made all things and all divine words.

One thing that I always keep in mind when I get sad is “pain is not forever” and through situations it is also important to keep in mind that “there is a lesson to be learned in every situation”. Once the source of the “pain” or “sadness” is identified, it is easy to break down the situation in it’s smallest component parts and ask myself
“is me feeling down really necessary?” Haha
This is a simple approach that gets me through tough times that I have recently into my life that gets me through my days and weeks. One thing that I love is that after a good night of hard thinking and analyzing and questioning and maybe crying and self questioning and self mental tourment , and more importantly a good night’s sleep - if granted the opportunity -
I awaken … the sun rises and the air is still crisp and there is a chance to make yesterday better than the day before. I awaken and a weight has been lifted off my chest because I made it through. The small feeling of triumph is like a gift to my inner most being and I know that everything is going to be alright. Then that feeling overcomes me , I stretch , yawn , grunt at having to break sleep for an obligation, but nonetheless, I wake up feeling
Grateful … :)
into Perspective ..
You ever sat & think.. Just evaluated your life ? So many things to do , so many things to change .. So little time … So many things to change so many things to want to do better. Not all of us are granted the same opportunities. But we are blessed to wake up everyday with an opportunity to change our lives , the lives of the ones we love , then extend that to love to total strangers, hopefully … But just as much good as you try to see and hope is there , the bad is evident. We all have problems, flaws … We’re all entitled to cry , sob , weep … Going through but triumphing is the greatest feeling ever … i won`t stop …
