I Think I'll Probably Cry Tonight
Tuesday, June 03, 2008
I'm gonna be honest here: I thought I would be dead and gone and six feet under before I witnessed the real chance that a black man could be President of the United States.And then, all of a sudden, like a bolt of lightening, Barack Obama came straight out of nowhere and tonight he will probably become the nominee of the Democrat Party -- that is, if the Supers don't trip and come out en masse (like they should have weeks ago) and put him over the top.
The reality that Barack Obama actually will be running for president will bring to a head all that abolitionists and Civil Rights leaders fought for.
I know I'll cry. I'm so happy that I'll be alive to see this moment.
Now, I will also say this and I am really sincere when I write this: I will be thrilled if Hillary is asked to join the ticket. I really, really will.

Why MSNBC Makes My Brain Hurt
Sunday, June 01, 2008
I've been watching MSNBC almost non-stop for weeks. I watched all umpteen hours of the DNC meeting on Saturday and I can't bring myself to blog about what's going on lest I curse and make a fool of myself.
When is this thing going to be over?

So!
So! What started out four years ago to be my online haven where I chronicle the mundane and not-so-mundane happenings in my life has ever-so-quickly become a stagnant waste of online space.
Should I be so hard on myself?
Yes! Because I am supposed to be one of "those" mom bloggers who goes on free trips and gets boxes over boxes of free products to review and blogs for other sites and knows lots of bloggers (dot, dot, dot).
But, I am so bogged down these days that I rarely (if ever) get here and write...which is really pathetic because when I look back on these days years from now it will remind me (AGAIN) how horrible I am with simple planning and organizational skills.
I could easily blog here everyday if I would simply prioritize my life. And yet I let this space linger -- untouched.
In truth, I am truly disappointed with myself because I like being able to write down those things that bother me, inspire me, make me think, make me want to become a better person.
It's 4:20 on Sunday morning and I should be sound asleep. I never sleep. I should rest. Maybe then I could better prioritize and return to active blogging. I should sleep.
I am a blogger. Maybe I should behave like one.

What's In a Name?
Friday, May 02, 2008
If I didn't share my name with a porn star, a famous author, and a British celeb no one would even come here.
Thank god for small coincidences.
And thank you to those of you who pop in every now and then to see a three-week-old post.

Twitter Prowess
Saturday, April 26, 2008
Well, I have finally learned the finer art of Twittering. Thank-you. Thank-you. Hold the applause.
It's taken me a long time, yes? For someone who spends so much time online it's pathetic that I don't know more about mobile communication.
When I was in Orlando last weekend I realized how much I really need either a Blackberry or an iPhone because we just really need to stay in touch as much as possible. In other words, I simply can't go days without checking my emails. That's just not the way the world works anymore.
