The whole world went to stand still with Prince William married his new Princess Kate got married today. It was just funny how they set a time up for every little detail aobut the two marriage date. Time they said their vows, to the time they were escorted to the Buckingham Palace to kiss, and so on and so on.
I really wouldn't want that all in my life. I mean the perks are great, but people in your business 24/7, starting trouble with today's media, and people all around you all the time. You can't even take a dump with out no one around the outside of the door, but that's their way of life.
I rather have billions and not the fame. I know that it's hard to not have both, but if I could, I'll be a quiet wealthy person. If I would hit the lottery today, I would keep my job. Not saying that I wouldn't have nicer things, but I wouldn't go overboard. I don't like a whole lot of attention. I'm the laid back type. Hope the world doesn't mess this happy couple up like they always seem to do.W

PRAYER CHANGES THINGS
This economy is so rough right now with jobs going left and right that it makes my stomach turn everytime I turn on the news and here about plants closing or school districts having lay-offs. DallasISD, one the largest school districts in Texas, reported that they were going to have to cut over 15,000 jobs back in January. Our Governor Rick (Pretty Ricky is what they call him) Perry (Replubican), didn't want to accept the stimulus packet from President Obama when he was trying to help the state from having lay-offs. Well, Pretty Rick decided back in March to unlease some of the states Rainy-Day funds. Well, that was veto out by votes through a vote from Senates in the State. If you don't know, Texas might as well be a Rebel State. This state doesn't care about nothing but the wealthy.
Back in March, DallasISD offered teachers and principals to take an early retirement incentives up $10,000. The ideal was to try and push the older workers with 25+ years out the door and keep the younger ones at a cheaper price. Well a person that I know was told that they would not be back next school year. This person told me that they prayed, let go and let God. Well, DallasISD will open about 5 more schools next year and this person will be a Asst. Principal at one of the schools. This person went from a 5th year teacher salary to salary that's paying them 40k more than this year. Gods know what's best for you. The power of pray.

CELEBS ROLE MODELS
Rather we won't to believe it or not, the media has taken over the way things are done today and is the biggest influence to not jut kids but adults also. We always say that the media is different from the way we grew up and people that are our parents sais the same thing while we were growing up.
I'm a firm believer that it takes a village to raise a child and not the child running all over the village. We as people get our up bringing from the four corners of our homes. That's where it all starts. When I see people in the spot light acting a fool on tv, it makes me wonder, "Are they trying to cause this attention so people can follow them or discuss them".
One Dallas Cowboy Player (not naming him by name, don't want to be sued), but he made the news about his pants sagging in a "High Class Mall". It was also said that he cursed out the mall security. He said that he didn't have his pants down sagging. This dude was a first round pick and has yet learned how to conduct himself correct in front of the media. Kids and adults look up to celebs because we won't to be in the same catergory or have the same status life that they are living. Celebs like Beyonce and Jay-Z knows how to stay out the way of the cameras acting a fool. Will and Jada are great examples. But these guys that are making millions, (meaning our young black celebs) need to have better class. Someone said there's people with all the money and have some good poeple around them, but still have "NO Class". What a statement. Opened my eyes alot.
Do you agree that they are role models?

GOT HATERS
If you don't have haters, then you're not a human. Everyone has a hater, even when they're deceased. Crazy, huh? People aren't always going to like you nor like what you're doing with your life, especially when you are doing great things with your life.
Haters love to know your every moves so that can keep up with you. I call that stalking. But you can also call it ENVY! One thing, that I've found out living this short 32 years of my life, you're not liked by everybody. God teaches us to love thy neighbor and enemies, but we don't live by that word. I admit, I'm a hater also. I wouldn't be human if I wasn't. I'm a hater when I feel that someone that doesn't or don't want to work, can go out to the club three or four days a week, go get a Coogi, Gucci, or Polo outfits, with hair done all the time and kids nose is running and pamper full. Here I am, getting up early for work, making sure that my kids have everything that they need. So yes I'm a hater too. If you don't think you're one, you are LYING TO YOURSELF.
People we need to get better with this hater thing. The next person that I meet that's grown and not trying to make ends meet, honestly, I'm going to be that hater and try to find them a job so they can give Mr. Electric man a break and the daytime tv people a break too.

FEEL THE MUSIC
Hope that you all had a great weekend.
My topic hit me yesterday when I watched women over 60 and young girls as young as 5 praise dancing at church. Different music has different feelings and meanings to them. Like music by Gucci Mane or Lil Wyane makes the "gangsters" feel like they are hard and make them feel like The Incredible Hulk or Frank Lucas. Luther Vandross or Baby Face would/ still get couples in the mood for love making.
As I watched these women and kids move to the words of the music, it kept my attention and made me really listen and feel the words through dance. Every movement corresponded with all the words that were in those songs. "Words are powerful", someone told me that as a younster. If the song was about hate, I would've left there knowing what the song was talking about. Listen to some of the words, instead of the beat and you'll know what's being said in every lyric of a song. Some of us might need that movement to better explain these words that artist are saying today. I know if Souja Boy didn't do the steps to Superman, I would not known what he was saying nor talking about. But throw on some Jay-Z, Snoop Dogg, Too Short, UGK, Earth, Wind, and Fire, Mint Condition, Scarface, Boyz to Men, Al Green, Sam Cooke, Anthony Hamilton(who's underrated), etc.., I can go on and on, I already know what they're talking about.
Yes I listen to Gospel: Kirk Franklin, John P. Kee, Mary Mary, Hezekiah Walker and more others too. But listen to what these rappers are saying today's music and that's what our kids are listening to and half of it, you need a ebonics dictonary to know what they're rapping about: all the same, money (that half don't have), cars(some still riding with mama or borrowing her car), dope (half of them don't know what it really looks like or how it is made), houses (most still stay in the projects), and women (don't have those). BIG LOL. So tell your kids, this is for entertainment purposes. 85% of these artist don't have none of these things. Just listen to the radio one day rather it's in your car, desk, home or where ever and listen to the lyrics.

RESPECT YOUR ELDERS
People, today is TGIF. What a week this has been. Starting a blog and didn't have to jack up no kids this week. Lol.
This subject is very important to me, because a lot of kids growing up don't respect their elders. Rather you know it or not, these kids are a different breed. Something is in the water. I can't say that I was the biggest saint around adults, but there were certain things that i wouldn't just do in front of them. Not these kids. They have no shame. I see kids all day kissing like the preacher said, "You may now kiss your bride". I mean, they'll kiss in front of adults like we're not even standing there in their presence. Everyday for about three months, I saw the same two kids, come to the courtyard and sit there and put their tongues down each others throat and everyday, I broke them up.
No profanity is the other thing that I have a problem with everyday. Kids will just curse like you're not even around. MF this, B&%#$ that, Suck my ****, kiss my ***, B you can eat me, the list goes on and on. When I hear these things 8 out of 10 will apologize to you, but take 8 more steps and do it again. I'm 32 years old and I won't even use that language in front of either of my parents or grandmother. I can hardly use it in front of my older family members or co-workers.
But most of these kids, (inner city), that's all they hear at home. Parents will curse them out like they're enemies, cursing on the phone with their friends, or even just blasting music with curse words in them. I pulled up at the daycare and at 7:30am, I hear a mom get out of her car, bumping Too Short Freaky Tales. C'mon man!!! I don't ever try to tell people how to raise their kids, because that's a sensitive subject for some. But don't get made when your kid is using "grown folks" language, when you broadcast it everyday. Don't go to your son/daughter school, cursing the teacher or principals out and don't expect them to do the same. Remember, very young kids brains are like sponges, they soak up all of your rights and wrongs.
So let us all try to be better adults and watch the language we use in font of our kids, even when you're upset. Well until Monday! Have a great weekend!!! Happy Bday Queen V and LeeLee

TRUST
Family is who you learn to trust first in life. Family seems to hurt one another the most. Very ironic? Funny how life goes.
When a family members fight, it's usually over the word TRUST! I trusted him/her with my money, kids, wife/husband, and boy/girlfriend. We trust that our family members won't steal from us, take advantage of us, watch our backs, helps us when in need of help, be loyal, even take a bullet for one another. We trust that our kids will make the right decisions when we're not around. However, family is the hardest to trust.
I know a family that a few male members took advantage of their little cousins when they were younger and told them if they told it, they would get in trouble. The little girls believed and trusted that they would be in trouble. Nevertheless, had no clue that they were being lied to the whole time. Now those same little girls are women now, they have daughters of their own, and they watch any man that’s around them. All because of a family took advantage of their trust.
Everyone has a friend(s) that grew up with from grasshoppers. You did everything with that person(s) all through elementary, middle, and high school. Some even stayed together after high school. You knew each other’s every move and moods. Then one day, things blow up because of the word TRUST.
I've even seen people put their trust in pastors. (Don't get it twisted I'm very religious.) However, in my eyes, we put to much trust in the person and not the belief or his word that he's speaking. We as Christians, sometimes fall in love with our pastor and the time he/she does something wrong, we have a pal look on our faces. So TRUST in your GOD, not the deliver.
As I leave today, I hope that you take a hard look at your peers or family members that you trust and make sure that's who you really trust.
Feel free to post comments, rather bad or good, and even topics.
Thanks J. Anderson for this topic.
