Nashville Undefeated Football Mecca!!
So check it......i'm in Nashville. Things are going south as usual. We are out of gas and make CNN news, people are being layed off, we continue to vote republican when the majority of our legislature bleeds demorcratic blue. Low and behold the Tennessean, our local newspaper figures it would be great to be on top at something.
Check this out: Nashville is a city of winners
Titans, VU, TSU occupy lofty perches on national scene
Nashville is finally great at something. Some good news to report.
Autumn has dawned with Nashville's pro and college football teams entering the weekend a combined 11-0. For those keeping score, the Titans are 3-0, Vanderbilt 4-0 and Tennessee State 4-0.
I'm just happy to read someting positive about my alma mater TSU.
*********************************************************
Meanwhile, Nashville's across-the-board football success goes beyond mere wins and losses. The Titans sit atop the AFC South standings and lead Indianapolis and Jacksonville by two games.
On the college side, Vanderbilt is ranked No. 21 in the most recent Associated Press poll while TSU is ranked No. 23 in the Bowl Championship Subdivision (formerly Division I-AA).

AINT THIS SOME BULLSHIT
Taken from the local tv station website
First Bush said there was no recession and no way possible the U.S. could be headed for a recession. Now look what he is saying?
If anyone is "waffling" on the subject matter of running this country it's bush.
Man this idiot just boils my water. I swear!!
And to think idiots want another idiot and their accomplice in the white house in 09!
Bush Says 'Economy In Danger'
In a televised address Wednesday, Bush admonished lawmakers over their ongoing skepticism toward his administration's proposed bailout.
Bush, pressing urgently for the bailout, said that the nation faces a "long and painful recession" if Congress fails to act.
"Our entire economy is in danger," he said.
He warned that failure to act could result in wiped-out retirement savings, rising home foreclosures, lost jobs and closed businesses. He also said there could be "financial panic" if the crisis isn't solved.
His move was aimed at explaining the package to the American public, but also to keep pressure on frustrated and angry lawmakers to work out a bipartisan deal fast.
Bush said the goal is to help the government buy up troubled assets so that credit can start flowing again and the economy will rebound.
Bush stressed that he was reluctant to put taxpayer money on the line to help businesses that had made bad decisions and that the rescue is aimed at helping the country, not saving individual companies.
Bush also said in the 12-minute speech from the White House's East Room that he has invited presidential candidates Sens. Barack Obama and John McCain to attend a meeting Thursday with congressional leaders going over the administration plan

My Ex Got Married
So, no matter how I try not to think about it or harbor ill feelings, i continue to find it impossible not to have so many questions. Well the fact is, i wouldnt have so many questions had he not ignored my email when all i simply did was wish him many blessings for a happy marriage. What in the world is so wrong with that? To catch you up, here's the story:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So my ex got marrried. We dated from Feb 08 - May 08. Not long at all, which truthfully is the case for most of my relationships. He got married September 08 I guess. Not really sure, but that's when I found out. Now prior to September we were still on speaking terms, verbally, text, and email. Nothing big not even regularly. He said it out of his own mouth that we were cool, friends. There was no need for us not to speak. Cool. I definitely had no problem with that as I am "cool" with all of my ex-victims :-) except one and that's because he put his hands on me. Anyway, being that we are cool, and it is so fresh, why wouldnt he tell me that he was getting married or had gotten engaged or whatever. I've had "friends" well a "friend" since our break up and that's nothing to tell, but something as major as marriage only 4 months after a break up is what I would call serious.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay so say he didnt tell me about the engagment or marriage. No big deal. It is what it is. My problem at this moment is why would he Not respond with at least a Thank You when I wish him a congratulations. I got nothing. nothing. nothing. nothing.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What am I missing here? Did i do something wrong? Am I out of line for expecting a little courtesy? Well maybe so because the fellow has no idea what respect means. Which might I add was a major cause for our break up. At least from my perspective, among other things.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, I had a long drawn out 2-pager that I wrote yesterday and was going to post, but I'm not at that mindset now. This is where I am. The 2-pager was a timeline of events but what i've said here is the jist of what I wanted to say. Yesterday my initial feelings were shock, confusion, justification (during the latter part of the relationship I suspected he was cheating or had another life he was hiding), hurt, anxious, and cautious. I had and still have no idea how I am suppose to feel.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What I would like to happen, I would like a Thank You first of all. Then I would like an explaination of why I was kept in the dark when it was going to come to light anyway. I'm just floored basically. I have no idea what to think or how to feel. Guess I'll chalk it up with every other mystery I've encountered over the years. For instance, why do guys want girls to be stupid and take whatever they dish out yet and have the audicity to be treated better than they treat you? lol
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That my friends will always be a mystery.
I'm glad I got this off my chest. It was giving me acid reflux and a headache.

Take it off !!! Take it off!!
I have 2 more weeks to lose 10 pounds and the scale has not budge since september 1. i know it takes a while for weight loss to show but a bunch of people have said they lost a pound here in a week or whatever. its not seeming to work for me. i'm loosing ground here. i dont want to go to the bahamas looking the same way i did in my swimsuit in august. i want to have to purchase a new cuter swimsuit for january. i'm thinking about the cabbage soup diet to help get things started. i'm also thinking about hydroxycut. i'm looking at desperate measure here. normally i wouldnt stoop so low as to taking medication but heck, i'm already on a life long prescription for some bullshit so y not add one more pill to the mix. right now the closest i've come to some form of diet pill is the dreaded one a day multivitiam with weight loss control. cant tell u how long i've had those horse pills. thank goodness they have an expiration date of 100
years. lol they really do work. they actually surpress my appetite. i'm still hungry for breakfast lunch and dinner, but i dont fat graze all day long while bored as hell at my job or sitting round the house wondering what to eat next.anywho, that's my story for today and i'm sticking to it. just needed to get that off my chest whilest i sit here befumbled on what to do next.
cheers

The Sacrifice of TSU Freedom Riders
Riding the bus has not always been a right for all Americans. The courageousness of civil rights is known world wide, studied, and celebrated. Many individuals, groups, cities, states, and regions have their heroes who did their part to make living free possible for generations to come.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If asked if I thought the current generation would do the same for those following them, I would say "no". I myself do not think I would have the skin or gall tough enough to sacrifice myself for others the way those of the civil rights movement. They were a true breed of extremely special individuals.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nashville, TN and more impressively students from Tennessee State University did their part to make it safe for me to ride the bus when and where I want today.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In 1946 the U.S. Supreme Court deemed it unconstitutional to segregate interstate transportation in the U.S. This means that everyone was free to ride the bus where they wanted when they wanted and sit where they wanted. In 1961 an interracial group called the Freedom Riders set out to test this new law. The white riders would sit in the back and the black riders would sit in the front. When they stopped at the restaurant, white riders would sit in the black section and use the black restroom and vice verse. Riders were of course met with hostility, rage, beat, killed, and buses burned.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
14 Champions from Tennessee State University sacrificed their education, careers, experience jail time, took beatings, and harsh scrutiny all so that I could ride the bus.
While they were giving of themselves to change history, my beloved Tennessee State University, Known as Tennessee A & I at the time expelled the students for "misconduct." It wasn't TSU's fault though. They had to take orders from 'the man.' :-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, I'm not going to elaborate too much on that because all though I despise my school at times, I also love my school because well.....it is my alma mater and I did get an education. TSU has finally decided to right that wrong after only 47 years. On Thursday September 18, 2008, the Freedom Riders will be awarded a Doctorate of Humane Letters for their blood, sweat, and tears. They will celebrated and commemorated the entire weekend from Sep 18 -21, 2008
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following is a list of sites that provide greater in depth information regarding this movement in civil rights history. The 1st link is the schedule for the TSU Freedom Riders convocation and award of much deserved doctoral degrees.

Chilin at the crib
So, It's Friday 9:52pm and here I am chillin at the crib. It's a Southern Heritage Classic weekend and everybody and they mama are in the M-Town or 1-town and those memph' folks like to be called.
I didnt make it to the game. I was forced to place myself on "fund" preservation status hahaha!
I'll try harder to make it to the ATL game end of the month. For now I'm chillin bout to take a hot bath and whatever. Gas is darn $5 a gallon thanks to Ike's crazy ass! grrrr So I am also perserving gas usage.
No bookclub outting for me tomorrow!
And another thing y is that guys come to me when they ready for a rebound flounce? What have I done to come off that way? I've never been open for business like that. I don't mind kickin it like yo boys or peeps but I aint tryn to do all that. How could they get the perception when I haven't done anything to give them that perception.
C thats y I'm so mean cuz ppl just dont understand where i'm coming from. NO means no and if u keep saying no and have to get crazy on 'em they say i'm mean and got an attitude.
First of all I have not talked to you in upteen years and now suddenly u calling/txting/instant messenging??? Wats that all about? hmmm
2nd I aint got time or the desire to be hangining with someone else's husband. Oh yeah!!! its like that ! and they have the nerve to say i'm acting funny when I tell them to back the fuck off! what is that mess all about???
I'll be happy here all by myself. Me and my pc :-)
Newbie but Oldie
I am going to truely try to get into this blogging. It really is a great release and so much fun. I have a ton of "blogspots" but no followers. I have to sit down and figure this thing out. I have
- this blog,
- myspace,
- msn spaces,
- another msn/hotmail space
- facebook (yes I'm considering that a blog),
- big blue (school social network site),
- gospel city,
- shelfari
- coffeshop ( another social network)
And I know "technically" the social network sites and the book site (shelfari) may not be fully qualifiable, but in my book it is. OH Yeah I have a 2nd msn/hotmail spaces site which is actually about the youth agency Youth Changes i volunteer with.
Honestly the reason why I have truly decided to get into it is because I want to have something to talk about but i'm so all over the place i have no idea where to start.
like advice given to true writers...authors, i will try to at least write something everyday. that way it will hopefully flush itself out into a really good conversation about something specific :-)
Also, I would love to see how this money thing works with adsense and getting paid just to blog and talk about ish :-) ...........this is my true true reason for *trying*
also my intern is blogging and I want to be able to help her out if needed so what better way to become more familiar than to continue and keep up with the millions of minute blogs I have going now.
I notice that the ads relate to whatever the blog is about. hmmm wonder what my ads will be about since i have no specific topic of discussion except for run of the mill life in general.
P.s. PLEASE COMMENT ON MY BLOGS :-)
