Death of the celebrity

Let's see Sean Levert, Pimp C, Michael Jackson and I am forgetting some other people. Now DJ AM dead of a drug overdose. Sometimes it's the prescription drugs, and sometimes it's a mixture of substances that aren't illegal and sometimes it's just the illegal drugs. I am at the point where I don't want to hear anymore about the legalization of drugs. Some say marijuana is harmless and should be legal for medicinal purposes, does it work that great that there are no better options. What's even scarier is the fact that there are adults that don't realize that you can't mix drugs and alcohol and other substances safely. It's also scary knowing that people can get addicted to pain medication and suffer from the pain of addiction, so why add to that by bringing in illegal drugs.

We have to also stop punishing people for their addiction and try harder to help them. It's hard to convince someone to get help, but it's even harder to lose that person. I guess the main thing that we need to focus on is how to get rid of drugs once and for all. How many people do we have to lose from the illegal drugs before we stop letting it come into our neighborhoods and corrupt so many people. How many people have to hallucinate on crack and kill people for no reason because of an addiction. We are just in scary times and we have to get control before the world is completely destroyed by us.

Are you scared to date now?

Okay, so I'm a reality nut, but I am a little disturbed that there was an actual killer on a reality show, and he committed suicide as well. The fact that Ryan Jenkins chopped up the girl that he was married to made things even more disturbing. There were a lot of twist in this relationship that were shocking. I believe though that sometimes these things can be prevented.

First of all for women, we have to have more back bone when it comes to abusive relationships. It's ultimately not our fault if a woman dies by the hand of their lover, but sometimes we shouldn't allow men to control the situation that day. Women the first time a man hits you that's the end of the relationship. Maybe we should raise our daughters to not need a man so badly that we lose our self esteem. No man should be able to tell a woman that she is nothing without him. Somewhere the cycle has to end with men as well. I don't know how to prevent men from beating there wives and girlfriends, that's something that maybe a parent may have to intervene on. We have to start speaking up when we see the signs that is another way to help. Also, we have to stop being so trusting of men. It seems people are getting crazier and crazier, sometimes if you feel that maybe the man is a little shady, check the internet to see if he is on the police crime website. Sometimes having a violent criminal past can be linked to abuse in a relationship especially when the man has been abusive in previous relationships. Most importantly just be careful and don't ignore your instincts. Not every relationship is going to work, and some people are just toxic for each other. If you are a woman that likes drama be mindful of when you are the one provoking anger in a man. No man has a right to hit a woman, but you shouldn't insult a man either and make him feel robbed of his manhood.

I just worry about the state of the world there have been so many shocking events, I feel a call to action to prevent some of this craziness.

Are you wasteful?

I just want to say that we need to be more aware of the energy we are wasting. I have been at home for a while and I realize now, how wasteful I am sometimes. I had been a little annoyed with my hubby because he made a big deal about warming up two fish sticks. I think that's a little over the top. There is no other way to get my son's snacks warmed up. They weren't microwaveable, so what is a mother to do.

Somethings you kind of can't help, but on my time off from work I now realize that I at least need to turn to television off when I'm not watching it. I fell asleep today and awoke to a television that I should have put out of it's misery before I dozed off. That is one important way to save energy, just turn the t. v. off when I'm not watching. I know there are more ways, but that one really stuck out in my mind because it is the least important energy burner.

I just wanted to say that because it was an epiphany for me.

I'm still here!!!

I have not gone into labor, and I am overdue as of this past Monday. I am tired and I just wanted to address the woes of being pregnant. First isn't funny that you feel like a celebrity. People just walk up to you and assume you are having a boy and you are due this day. I am overdue now and a whole week has gone by I'm done making nice with people, I am in full fledge grumpy mode. It's hard to be gracious when every minute someone is walking up to you and I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, so now I'm in store ignoring people (sorry folks). If I'm in the store and a stranger walks up to me and I haven't made eye contact I I pretend not to hear them when they say things. One guy (sorry sir) said something to me eye continued my shopping and he continued walking. Hey it was just an annoying comment and I'm overdue, it's hot outside and people are giving me remedies to get this baby out, but they will come when they come and the doctors don't let it go to far because it is not healthy, so everyone just relax the baby is coming and we will see her soon enough.

Love you and forgive my meanness I'm not even blaming it on hormones, I guess it's been a long 10 months:

Organic store

Well I am in full mommy mode waiting on my young one to arrive in a couple of weeks, so I didn't feel like doing anything with the blog. I have also been accepted to a green blog site and am trying to brainstorm as to how I want it formatted. While looking for bedding that is unique and isn't babies r us or baby depot, and fit for a princess, I found an important website, since I would like to be more and green and I would like to put others on to a green life style. There is an organic baby store for green mommies. There are also organic tips and other organic items to buy. enjoy

I need gardening advice.......

Okay, so I didn't take the horticultural class in highschool I took the food service class, and I guess that's what helped me be a pretty good housewife/chef. I have an obsession , though with planting vegetables and and fruits and just flowers. I was watching this lady on Oprah a few years back and she had beautiful flowers galore. I actually was inspired by a trip to walmart where I was looking at some seeds and on the back listed a lot of medicinal uses and even lavendar can make a fragrant tea. I don't know if I would dare drink it though.

a

So my dream is to plant some stuff in my tiny back yard, but right now no vegetables although I have the bag of seeds because I don't have a bag of snake murderer or rabbit runner off-er. See what had happened was, my mother had a planted a wonderful garden with tomatoes and well some snakes got into the yard. The dog killed one, but the other got a lot closer to the house and that's where the tomatoes were, so what I'm hoping is that my flowers are the safest and most beautiful bet for now. I fear what the lavendar may attract though, but they have to come up first.

Also, I need some help from any gardeners or horticulturalist to help me with my problem. When I first planted my impatiens They came up and I took proud pictures of them and I planted them again next year because I wasn't sure about what plants come back every year. So I planted some more and they came up really nicely again. Since I don't know the difference between annuals and semi annuals there were some other flowers that I planted and they never came up. What I am hoping is that someone can identify the pictures above and let me know if these are flowers or weeds because I haven't planted anything just yet and these things just started sprouting up and they looked kind of familiar, but I didn't think impatiens come back.

I got a little advice this year so I have some plants that will definitely come back next year, so I want have to keep planting something blindly hoping for it's return, but I need to know what these plants/ weeds are that are growing now, so I will know to pull them up or keep them. I can't wait for the flowers to bloom if they are coming, so I hope someone can help me soon because spring has sprung and I am ready to plant. Later

She is so different.

Dear Chrisette:

I apologize for ignoring you and you talent. I saw you on girlfriends and my first impression okay, she's different and she's playin' herself on a show to SHOW just how different. I thought "okay, i get it she is just not a gimmick. So a couple of years later on May 5 i saw soul story and you were the truth. Months before I thought " she cut off her long locks so as not to be confused with the beyonce's and ashanti's and other long haired divas. Now I see you are just you and beautiful in your craft. I apologized and a little inspired I almost want to get over my shyness and create music and try not to get sucked into the same ole commercial crap that's out there (sorry Keri). I mean I love Ciara i think she is in her own category, but it is hard for these girls out here to stay relevant with Beyonce hogging all the good air. I feel Ms. Michelle that you deserve a little bit more than ms. Benown-say. She is not as original and different as she thinks she is. I feel music is an expression of your voice and all the performing in the world can't make you the greatest. I mean her voice is okay, it's a bit average compared to your soulful smokie, old school throw back voice. Of course we have to look back at the pioneers of before our time, who could truly sang and were truly talented and maybe even wrote our own songs, but right now you are my idol. Next to Fantasia of course. I think maybe both of you are younger then my 29 years, well I know fanny is (she's still got some growing to do), but you Ms. Chrisette Michelle seem to be really comfortable in your skin and you know what you want out of life at least musically and from your music relationship-ly (I know not the a real word). I am following what you were saying in your songs on soul story and now I gotta go back to your first album and reintroduce myself to how you got your start because I think you have been ignored, but I don't listen to all this gimmicky stuff it hurts my ears and I am mad that some how I let your music slip by and then you are already on your sophomore album (congrats).

Sincerely:
A new fan


So all my 3 followers, please tell your friends and there friends to give Chrisette Michelle another try because she is making real music and she can really sing without any synthesizer-vocoder thingys. Lata chil'
