Well I think I have been hit with the straw that has broken the camels back. My Niece recently moved out of her mothers house because of her mothers new husband.

They have a beautiful child together and I love my little nephew but the problem is the situation that my niece has brought with her.
Nothing she has done but my mother has become the most inconsiderate person around.

She has always been the take sides person even when there was no conflict. She jumps behind my niece and lets her get away with anything Though she does nothing. I've realized that I am beyond the living with your mother age a while ago but now is beyond time for me to go.

I have been scratching together a large chunk...

I'm up 2 in the morning listening to music.
Whether it's iTunes or Youtube I'm sitting here right now in my own mind listening to somebody saying something about something I'm feeling.

Music has a way of speaking to you through you with you and for you in ways you can't. I think when Hoover thought that pushing young Afrikan kids to by Entertainers he couldn't forsee the way music can speak to the young minds of our youth.

You can change emotions from the beat of a song. Laugh with joy at the impact of a songs vibe to the rhythm of your body. Most of all the lyrics of a song can make you think. Once that hook catches you and if it speaks on something real, you feel you can move mountains.

"With great power comes great responsibility"

Well I feel it is my responsibility to bring knowledge to the place I work.
I had situation that pissed me off one day. I am reading “Sellout” by Randall Kennedy and I have read his other book “Nigger” and decided to request the library buy one of his other books “Race, Crime and the Law”……..and was turned down by the branch manager I work with.

This racist honkey basically has no right and could get in trouble for turning down book request….based on racial basis But he worded it in a way that could be written off as “library priority”

“Well I’m not ordering this book because it is more of a book for an Academic library, you can have...

I SAW HER TODAY!!!!!!!!

I haven't seen my daughter since she was 11 months old. Me and her mother were a pair of young angry kids (she 19 me 21) when we had my JaJa. We seemed to never come eye to eye on anything so when we split our child suffered.

Today I went to child support court with her mother who thought that would hurt me or whatever. I felt it was about time you began to acknowledge that she was my daughter. The paper work took less than 20 Min's in all. NO fussing NO fight NO judge. Just the court sign paper work telling me to pay this a month and she had to agree.....which wasn't a problem for either of us.

Well the morning started stressed as I figured the court was cold, and I saw something...

Losing some one is the hardest thing to live through, a parent, an unborn child, the love of your life. When you lose any one of these people or just a very close friend your life is forever changed. Nothing feels the same days feel different nights seem longer and emotions are never the same.

I have had all 3 happen to me in the last ten years of my life. My father at 14, a pair of twins at 22 and just recently my fianca'. My father fought cancer for a while but loss his battle after a long fight. My twins from a ex were lost the same day we found out about them thanks to birth control attacking them early on, but they were alive long enough to be seen in an ultrasound picture before their death.

But for me the...
