Random Thoughts Of Cerebral Violence 15.

*****Warning: The Ability For Critical Thinking Required Before Reading This Post. High Levels Of Sarcasm And Bloody Humor Present. May Hurt The Feelings Of The Thin Skinned And The Weak Minded, The Slow Witted Need Not Continue.*****




**** We all know about the tragedy of Haiti and while I was donating money and trying to hunt down relatives I absorbed what ever news came out of there.

One of the stories that came out though gave me reason for pause.

There seemed to be this rush in taking children out of Haiti who were orphans or newly turned orphans.

Now this was going on within a week of the earthquake, and I remember thinking that they were moving faster then needed with that.

I can understand the need to help but this type of rush with out fact checking can do more damage then good.

Haiti to my knowledge does not have a welfare system, no Section 8 for housing, no Food Stamps/EBT for food.

This safety net that is here in this country that allows a mother to keep and care for her children is not present in Haiti.

So a family in Haiti who can not take care of her child has one of two options either give their child to a family who can afford to take care of the child and in return the child becomes a house hold servant, (I remember having a very young "nanny" as a child that was a result of this method) or give the child to an orphanage.

In either case the mother and father are NOT putting up her child for adoption or even giving up rights to the child.

They are just placing them in a place that will give their child the best chance to survive.

So when I hear things like adoption groups and well meaning organizations all of a sudden make a move to make off with a army of Haitian children and use the many having the idea of giving the kids out to adoption alarms flash through my head.

Words like kidnapping and abscond pop into my head and I am reminded of the Aboriginal "Lost Generation".

Now I don't think anything that sinister is meant by these groups to put them in the category of what happened in Australia.

But when your rushing to take kids away from their native land and shipping them them to another country with no ties to their culture, race and roots thus damning them with a life time inferiority complex...........

When you don't even check to see if the child's relatives are alive and can provide care...........

When you make off with kids who make up a large part of the population there by threaten the future existence of the country......

And when you do mess like this........


......taking kids to the Dominican Republic?

Didn't bother to do any research on the historical racial tension between the two nations did you.

When you do thing like this you need to slow the hell down and ask some questions first.

And preferably you ask the people your trying to help.



****Miss America?

Now I admit I don't pay attention to this stuff but when i saw this pic pop up on the computer I couldn't help but wonder how similar the contestants look, even the ones of different races.


I don't want to be the cynic here but.............no....to hell with that that's exactly what I want to be here......exactly what part of America do these women really represent?

How about putting some bald headed chics up there, some fat ones, dreadlocs, pierced mouths, or have some rainbow dyed hair.

Let one of the ladies show how to diffuse a dirty bomb in some dude's under wear while budgeting her check book and slipping on a thong on the talent portion of the show.

Do that for me Miss America.

That way I wont see you as a cookie cut out of some one else's dream.

And another thing the panel of judges included radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh, actress Vivica Fox, musician Dave Koz, Miss America 2002 Katie Harman, gymnast Shawn Johnson and former "American Idol" finalist Brooke White.

Now I wasn't expecting a panel of the world's leading scientists and philosophers and what not but...........come the f&@# on y'all couldn't do better then this?

And Rush?

What?

He thinks cause he voted for some black chic he gets a get out of bigot prison pass?

You still cant have a football team bastard.



**** There some people who watch the Superbowl for the game and then you have those watch it for the damn commercials.

I cant lie back in the day the commercials were pretty good.

But it was only a matter of time before someone would take advantage of the millions of viewers to push a political agenda.

In this case a Pro Life ad featuring college football Saint Tim Tebow, (no surprise here) and a gay marriage commercial.

I happen to support both causes but I would rather just be thinking about football at that time.



****My play daughter had her period a few months ago and I was "blessed" with the task of getting her her first pack of pads.

Well her mother is a nasty mutha when she is on and her daughter apparently has inherited that trait......excuse me as I smirk.



Boy to be a fly on the wall in their house.............


*****Do I like the idea of flesh colored underwear?


OF COURSE I DO.

But even I know that a televised sporting event is not where you should be wearing it.

Which ticks me off because now I have to give a side eye to Venus Williams for playing stupid and wondering why this was a big deal.

You really need to wonder why this is not a good idea?

Better yet exactly why are you faking showing your ass anyway?

Woman just go ahead and show your ass if your going to.

Don't play about it, be about it.



*****And speaking about not playing around with it.

I'm not sure if I should put this down as a win for people with disabilities or a massive fail for the economy that would force some one to do this.


I'm sorry.....a one legged stripper?

Are times that hard?

Down here in the south the booty club is serious business, so serious that rival clubs regularly engage in guerrilla type war fare with each other from inserting rodents and bugs into rival clubs to get them shut down to actually burning each other down.

Now that I think about it this might not be a sign of hard times but a sign of desperate measures by club managers to get some attention.

Either way,call me crazy if you want but I got to see that.

Seriously now, how many people can say the were in a strip club and got a lap dance from a one legged stripper?

Go ahead......ask around.......I'll wait.......

Just to say you did is worth going.

Good News Tuesday: Helping Hands In Haiti

The news out of Haiti has gotten worst as expected when there is so few resources and the people get more desperate.

But keeping with the Good News Tuesday theme I would like to point out the positives involving Haitians cause I already know the media is going to suspect when reporting the news from the island.



1- Senegal President offers Haitians a home.

PARIS — Senegal's president on Sunday called for Africa to make room for victims of Haiti's earthquake to restart their lives on the continent from where their ancestors were snatched as slaves.

"The repeated calamities that befall Haiti prompt me to propose a radical solution -- to take measures to create somewhere in Africa... the conditions for Haitians to return," President Abdoulaye Wade told France Info radio.

"They did not choose to go to that island," he added, referring to the mass deportation of African slaves to Haiti, then a French colony, from the 16th century.

"It is our duty to recognise their right to come back to the land of their ancestors."

His spokesman Mamadou Bamba Ndiaye gave further details of the proposals.

"If it is just a few people, we will offer them a roof and a patch of land," he told the radio station. "If they come in large numbers, we will give them a whole region."


This a very generous offer from the President of Senegal, I am curious to see how serious is about it and if anyone takes him up on the offer.


2- In the area of athletics...Dominican Miguel Tejada goes to Haiti to help quake victims By David Brown.....

A native of the Dominican Republic, Tejada arrived in Haiti on Sunday, intent on doing whatever possible to help people he calls "brothers."

Tejada told MSNBC he was bringing water, food and — most of all — himself in response to an earthquake that's killing an untold amount and has plunged an entire country into chaos.

"I was in the States when it happened," Tejada said. "They came to my heart and I'm really sorry for what has happened. That's why I came here, to bring some support for the people here."


3- Doctors Remove Concrete From Haitian Girl Brain

One of the first surgeries performed in the big US Navy hospital ship of the coast of Haiti involved the removal of concrete, yes, concrete, from a little Haitian girl's brain.
She is 12 years old and she will be OK

CNN's Sanjay Gupta was the one who performed the brain surgery.

What do you know... A neurosurgeon was needed to perform the operation, and thank God, CNN sent a neurosurgeon to Haiti to report on the earthquake.

"I am a doctor first," Sanjay said a few days ago, "and I am confortable with that."


Keeping the faith.

Good News Tuesday: 14 Year Old Invents Surgical Device

Now that's cool as hell right here.

I cant tell you what I was thinking at 14 but it damn sure wasn't about surgery.

I didn't even know they had programs like this for kids a nice change of pace to that nonsense going on in Detroit.

Good News Tuesday

This one is late as hell but better late then never, big up to MLM for pointing this out.



Good News Now:

Armed with clipboards, leaflets and high spirits, the energetic Ivory leads them into the neighborhood, where they start knocking on doors. The mood is lighthearted, but their mission is serious: to save lives, one house at a time.
They're volunteers from the Florida Breast Health Initiative, and they are waging war against breast cancer. It's an effort started by Ivory, 50, herself a survivor of the disease.
Every weekend in the spring and fall, she and her volunteers -- who include college students, senior citizens and suburban moms, all wearing matching T-shirts -- fan out across low-income communities in southern Florida, educating women about breast health.
They especially seek out uninsured women age 35 and older, who statistics show are twice as likely to be diagnosed with late-stage breast cancer, and thus more likely to die from the disease.
For Ivory, comparing this work to a battle isn't overblown.
"The only thing that we have to fight this disease and lower the mortality rate is early detection," she says. "We are the troops on the front lines."
Since 2006, Ivory has helped provide more than 500 mammograms to eligible women.

Patience



The professor in class asked a question about the patience displayed by the main character of the Shawshank Redemption movie Andrew "Andy" Dufresne who is sentenced to two consecutive life sentences at Shawshank State Penitentiary in Maine for murdering his wife and her lover.

The question being to put ourselves in his place and describe the Patience needed to make it.

Now I would like to point out that for one, Andy’s patience ran out as he eventually escaped after realizing the limits and futility of his own patience, second you do not have to imagine what it would be like to live through this since in real life there are hundreds of former prisoners who have been wrongly convicted only to be released later after the truth inevitably emerges from the darkness.

They are experts in the matter and could give most Buddhist Monks a run for their money on what it means to be patient.

I have watched these men, through the media, as they embrace their freedom with a calm that to me is so shocking that it borders on terrifying.

How does someone maintain their sanity after pleading, screaming, bargaining for anyone to listen that they are innocent?

How do you control of your emotions, and achieve a level of peace KNOWING that you are paying for a crime you did not commit?

All the while caged like an animal surrounded by men who have committed REAL crimes against their fellow man and who have built a culture in those prisons were the weak are preyed upon and the solution seems to be to become a predator.

How do you not let hate eat away at your soul and lash violently out at the world trying to make it feel the pain you suffered with all those years stuck in time as the rest of the world kept turning, not just leaving you behind but forgetting about your existence all together?

How do you not let the stress kill you, or for that matter how do you not kill yourself?

I can only speculate on what it takes, because I have never walked in those shoes and I pray that I never do.

Hate would be my close friend in there, my confidant, and my support.

The only thing I can think of is that these men have consciously or sub-consciously practiced a combination of mediation, denial, hope and faith.

Meditation to clear the mind of all distractions and allowing for focus.

The denial of the despair that creeps into you and allows you to accept your fate, abandoning the future.

Hope that your freedom will be given back to you.

And finally, faith, faith in the world that it will open its eyes and see your innocence.

This is what I believe will allow them to ease the stress of their minds and hold on to their sanity and eventually leave prison still human and maybe better off than what they were before.

That is what I think it would take to come out of their alive. Alive and at peace with not only yourself but those around you and more importantly those who are responsible for your incarceration.

I cannot say that I am that type of person who would have the types of tools to make it out. But seeing men like the ones who did make it out gives me hope at the very least.

Random Thoughts Of Cerebral Violence 12.

*****Warning: The Ability For Critical Thinking Required Before Reading This Post. The Slow Witted Need Not Continue.*****




*****Playboy Model Nicole Naraine Talks About Her Addiction To Sex & Masturbation!



Couldn't get out of bed all day cause your hands were stuck?

Couldn't eat cause you were too busy drowning the little man in the boat?

Yeah......I'm going to go ahead and call bullshit on this one.


Sex addiction is real, but I'll be damned if this is her problem, I'm think more like little girl over here wants some attention now that her 15 minutes of fame has dropped under 60 seconds.


**** Things I am grateful for.......

1- Lactose Free Milk,




I can eat cereal for breakfast, lunch and dinner......not that I would.......but I can if I wanted to.......

2- 120 GB Ipod Classic $50,


Ipod Nano $25,




PlayStation 3 with 2 joysticks, 6 games $300,




living in the hood wear these street deals go down PRICELESS.



****What the Bozak?!

4 straight losses?!



This whole damn team needs to be suspended, I have no words for that sorry ass secondary, and Eli's "I got mine" punk ass right now.


**** For real I need the Saints to go ahead and take that L with the quickness this up coming month.



I am about tired of the Saints fans all of a sudden coming out of their holes, were were y'all punk asses last year?!

The Gift That Keeps On Giving........



I like to think that there is a reasonable explanation for everything.

There are two sides to every story.

Break down complex problems into small pieces and start with the simplest one first and life gets much clearer I think.

There are no mysteries just problems waiting to be solved.

But every now and than you come across some nasty looking piece of logic left in the middle of the road by some fucked up nut that makes you stop and say what the hell is this?

Case in point I was outside over at a friend's place talking when one of her neighbors drove up got out of her car with her boyfriend and kid and went to her apartment.

My friend remarked how she couldn't stand the woman, now before I could stop my self I asked why, seeing how the last time I was around they were very friendly with each other.

Apparently they had a falling out.

Observation: What I have noticed, and some of you might want to take this as a warning, is that when women fall out with each other, or with men for that matter, every little dirty secret that they shared with each other gets thrown out in the street.

She than tells me that this woman is,

1- divorced,

2- former stripper,

3- bisexual but is currently dating this one dude.

4- she is 37 he is 25,

5- he despite being younger is controlling in the relationship and demands that she be around at all times when he is not out doing something.

6- she has herpes which she contracted from her ex husband.

I stopped her on the last part, she had me hooked so I asked the obvious questions, like does the current boyfriend know?

Yes he knows or rather he was informed by her after they slept together a few times.

Her rational for this is that she was not having an out break, they only had sex with out a condom twice and she regularly takes her medication for it.

Here is a little bit of info for you, some one who has herpes simplex viruses type 1 or 2 can transmit the virus to another person with out having out break.

A condom will not save you and the medication does not cure you.



So dude gets tested and comes out negative, but get this......he comes back to her.


I thought I was hearing things but hell I just saw him get out the car with her so I guess so.

I don't know maybe it's just me......

I could be overly sensitive.......

Maybe I am just not that opened minded.......

I just cant see my self running back into the arms of a woman who gave me an STI......

No, hell no, especially after I lucked out and tested negative.

When I worked in a clinic I came across all sorts of diseases that would make the CDC blow up, and I never blinked an eye.

But herpes was the one thing I just couldn't be around, it shook the hell out of me, made my skin crawl.

I can deal with HIV, full blown AIDS, Swine Flu, walking pneumonia, bacterial meningitis you name it.

Not herpes.

So at this point I am not even thinking of her trifling ass I'm think about his trifling ass and what the hell is running through his head.


And I don't want to hear that love mess either.


Sharing a disease might be the ultimate expression of love from what ever planet these two are from but I would rather take a bullet for you instead.

That is just twisted.

Now I know there are people who are desperate for companionship, they need a person, any type of person, to make them feel whole.

But come the hell on man, herpes?


Y'all nasty as hell out here man.

Good News Tuesdays: Im just Getting Started....




The Obama's "Option" is in!!!

Actually credit goes to Harry Reid for putting the states the choice of opting out of the Option.

Now a couple of things.

1- Credit for Reid for showing some balls and rolling them on the table with what should have been a no brainer. (I was beginning to think that Alan Grayson was the only Dem willing to throw down.)

2- The trigger that was talked about before was iffy at best and no one could tell you exactly what would be good enough to pull the trigger.

3- He is going to be in a hell of a re-election so might as well go out with a bang if your going.

4- It's giving the states the option to say no, and we know how batty some of those states can be, see Texas, South Carolina, and Louisiana.

But I know a bunch of signifying monkeys when I see them.......


They were talking that smack about not taking stimulus money either and just as quick flip flopped and grabbed their share of that cash.

5- This isn't for everyone, it's only for those who are uninsured.

6- Still need 60 votes to get it passed and the bottom line is the real reason we haven't gotten this done yet is not because of the Republicans but because of the cowardly Dem's who are scared to death of the right.


If only they were all like Alan Grayson.....


That's a guy I can vote for.

7- YOU KNOW the Right is going to go ape shit but so what, they were going crazy before anyway.

So you may wonder why such a fragile bill gets the Good News Tuesday, cause it shouldn't of seen day light period.

Just two weeks ago they were claiming that health care reform was dead, well here it is, and it's up for a vote, that's good news to me.

Mental Health....AGAIN

You black people think I am playing when I say that mental health is a serious issue that MUST be addressed in the "black" community.

Well see how you like this.



Around my way we like to call well built women stallions but this right here.......

Mental health can be tied directly to violent crime, drug abuse, spread of STI including HIV, child abuse, sexual predators, exploding prison populations and so on.

Left unchecked and a sexually violated pet is the least of your worries.

See how funny it is when come home one night and your chihuahua is walking funny.

Thats What You Get.

I can understand nose jobs some times the nose just doesnt match your face.

I can understand breast implants, not a fan but I get it.

Even butt lifts, false advertising if you ask me.

B ut this is self hate at it's finest right here.

It's one thing to get colored contacts cause you think it looks cool it's a whole other story to actually change your eye color period.




Life is a lot easier if you learn to love your self.

Shed No Tears For Maia Campbell



I been busy this week so I missed out on Maia Campbell bandwagon.

Hell I wasn't going to say anything because this wasn't the first time she has acted a fool on camera, but for what ever reason this time has everyone on the net bent out of shape.

So what I did do was take the time read every one's opinion about her situation.

Now it's my turn.

I see that people and a lot of black women in particular love to place blame everywhere but where it should be, and that's with Maia Campbell.

They want to blame the people recording her, (true scumbags, but welcome to the street life).

They want to blame websites for posting the video (bump that, you put your self out there like that you don't get a pass on grounds of morality).

They want to blame the government for lack of funding (so where are you when every one is acting a fool about Health Care?)

They want to blame the "black" community, (rightfully so they have always treated mental health as voudou).

Everyone and everything but the person who deserves it and that's Maia Campbell.

Maia is the one who chose not to take her medications for her mental illness, (if she has one), for what ever self centered reasons.

Maia is the one who chose to self medicate with Meth and any other drug that helps her get to the state of mind she wants.

Maia is the one who allowed herself to be exploited.

Maia is the one who has turned down people's offers of help.

Maia is the one to blame.

If you have any insight on people with mental illness and drug abuse than you already know that you can not help those who do not want to help themselves.

You can drag that girl out of a car, wrap her up in a straight jacket, deposit her in a mental and drug rehab center, load her up on what ever drugs they prescribe, assign a Nut Cracker to her to talk to her day in and out about everything that has gone wrong in her life and the moment you let her go....

the moment you say bye.....

the moment you think she has got it.....

she will be right back on the street looking to get high, looking for a new "boyfriend", looking for the same life.

Because she didn't want your fucking help in the first place.

Ive seen it before, so you will excuse me if I shed no tears for her, if I don't rip my hair out, if I don't scream into the sky about the injustice of living in a world that would treat such a "lady" like this.

When Maia Campbell wants to help herself and get some help than some one will give it to her, believe that.

Anything that happens to her is her own fault.

So I am going to take the opportunity to "exploit" the hell out of her ass.

Not for my own laughs this time but to show who ever comes across this post black or white male or female, that this is what some one looks like when they don't take their meds.

This is what some one looks like when they abuse drugs.

This is what some one looks like when they don't want to help themselves.

This is what happens when you don't take mental health seriously.

This is what happens when you don't as your politician about funding for state mental health clinics.




Enough people see this maybe she will come to her sense and get the help she needs it worked for Soulja Girl.

Hopefully no one will forget about it afterwards.


For those who care.

You Can't Be Christian And Against Health Reform.



No, your not.

Open and closed case to me.

I'm not a religious man, cant remember the last time I actually sat down and read the bible.

Same thing for the last time I went to church, but I did go on a regular basis at one time and I did read the bible when I was into the church.

And I recall an overall theme in the bible of loving thy neighbor, taking care of the poor, needy and sick.

At least in the New Testament if I recall correctly, that old Testament God came off like a bully).

That is the some of the blue print that Christians are supposed to follow when interacting with each other.

But like most beliefs, regardless if it's religious or politics, it all sounds good on paper but the execution is always suspect.

Communism?

Great idea until the Soviets got a hold of it.

Socialism?

Remember the Nazi?

Democracy?

Shopping list of offensives which this country is not exempt from.

Christianity?

The bible or the sword mentality backed by who is paying the most in tithe.

Islam?

Better that we don't speak on it.

No, all theories are brilliant on paper but man has always acted like Mr. Magoo when it came to following God's work or man's own bright ideas.



Health care reform is apparently no exception, the Public Option is a way to get coverage to those who cant afford insurance, don't qualify for insurance because of pre-existing conditions or are denied care.

Explain to me how that is unchristian like?

Hell, to me denying the public option is a sure fire way to go to hell if you ask me.

And the ones who are the most set against this care are the ones who loooove to evoke God's name every 5 minutes.

Hypocrites at their finest.

Now don't get me wrong I understand that there are some concerns that would give a Real Christian doubts, such as the abortion question which would be funded by the plan.

An idea that I personally don't think should have been added on to there so as to make the passage of the bill that much smoother.

I don't believe in abortion in many cases but the way I see it is a woman's choice and I let God to be the one to set the record straight on the issue when the finale day comes.

I just want to be warned in advance so I don't get caught standing next to them in line when the lighting hits.

But that's the only rational explanation I will accept from anyone who calls themselves a Christian on the matter.

And even than I do not believe in denying health care to so many because your worried about some irresponsible people taking the easy way out.

That's an issue that can be dealt with by reaching out to the communities and speaking to people about abstinence and protection.

So please remove religion out of this debate, leave race out of it, remove Democracy vs Socialism from it, (cause this country is actually a really big corporation not a a Democracy), instead focus on is it going to work, how much is it going to cost and what are the alternatives.

That's it.

Good News Tuesday: Cheerleader to Doctordom

NBA Cheerleader Dances Way to Doctordom


After dancing her way through school, former Miami Heat cheerleader has Fabienne Achille traded in her pom-poms for a stethoscope.

From the Heat to the Hospital

A former Miami Heat dancer turns in her hot pants for scrubs.
The pretty 28-year-old paid her way through pre-med school at University of Miami by cheering on the likes of Alonzo Mourning, then turned her attention to the grueling medical curriculum at University of South Florida. The ballgame glamor made her undergrad days memorable, but it wasn't exactly easy, she says.

“It was a lot of hard work especially being pre-med," Achille, the daughter of Haitian immigrants, says of her dancing days. "But it was definitely a very very enjoyable memorable time in my life.”

The obstetrician is now finishing her residency, delivering babies at Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami -- the facility where she was born.


Now here is a feel good story, just goes to show you what you can do when you focus.

The GOP Declares War On Sanity.

Fake Protesters At Health Care Town Halls


I knew the GOP could get low down dirty like no other cold war political propaganda machine but the tactics of late is out right would be despicable if it wasn't so pathetic.



Are you serious?

This is the best you can do?

Sending in town hall busters to spread chaos?

The Public Health care Option is what it sounds like, it is an option.

You can stick with your own provider if you like and if your provider gets run out of business because of the plan, guess what?

They went out of business because they couldn't compete with a better service and you were the last to know.

Welcome to capitalism which would be the opposite of "fascist" and "socialist" BS charges they the GOP have made against Obama.

You got to treat these people like certain bloggers.

If there ranting and raving about something yet are not offering an alternative solution or better yet not even addressing the issues there mad about, than yes they are full of it.

And you should back away from them slowly, do not engage in conversation about the topic with them, cause you cant win arguing with nuts, and do the research your self.

Start by going here to Health Reform.

Than there is this little gem right here.


Damn!

They didn't even try with this one, how stupid can you be?

OK this shit ain't funny any more, these quacks are trying to hold the nation hostage with there insanity.

They are trying to drag the country and than the rest of the planet into an abyss of ignorance and fear.

There is absolutely no rational reason for not having a public health care plan, and if your Representative is saying there is than I am going to call it like I see it, the bum is in the pocket of the lobbyists and he or she needs to be removed from office.

Don't let the suckers sucker you.

You are getting screwed and not in a way you like.

DO NOT DRINK THE KOOL AID!!!!!

Random Thoughts Of Cerebral Violence 7.

*****Warning: The Ability For Critical Thinking Required Before Reading This Post. The Slow Witted Need Not Continue.*****



****Karma is a B%$#^ Vol. 1



The little girl I blessed on her graduation day and seemed to have attitude?

Flunked the reading part of her exam that is required to test out of her grade.

On one side I feel bad for her to be stuck in summer school, on the other hand..........

****Karma is a B$%^$%& Vol. 2


The Ex?

Word came back that her cysts are flaring up and putting her in sever pain, between you and me I see a good chance she is going to have to get a hysterectomy to settle that issue.

And to top it off a mutual friend sent me a picture to my phone of her hair which is falling out in clumps.

Pretty bad looking too.

Don't feel any which way about it so I think thats a good thing.

I may test my karma out and post that pic......


****Classes started up yesterday and I am already sick of it.

This time they played slick and didn't have the assigned textbooks for classes listed.

Which means no shopping online for a deal, which means stuck paying $122 for a used softcover 350 page chemistry book.

If education is the KEY than why don't they make it f@#$% FREE?!

****Jobs I will never do again...

Surgical tech for any gynecological procedure.



Ever..Ever....EVER AGAIN!

The things that I have seen in that OR no man has any business seeing, in fact I question the sanity of any male doctor who would work in that field of medicine.

If there was ever was a reason to demand all little girls pay attention in school and ship them off to Med school it's so they can work on their own broken coochies.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, the VajJay is a beautiful thing but only at certain angles and under the right circumstance.

If not that mutha can be out right scary and dare I say disgusting, to think were my mouth has been when I recall some of those operations.

I was in the OR assisting a doctor who was supposed to take a small biopsy of some cysts that this woman had growing in her uterus, now Gyn and Proc are considered "dirty" procedures so not much emphasis is put in sterility but your still expected to keep a clean ship.

Well the Doctor decided she was going to do the operation in her flip flops, problem was she chose a very ripe cysts for the biopsy.

She burst it making the incision and the next thing you know this funky fluid the exact color and thickness of nacho cheese comes pouring out......


......and splashes all over feet, she tries to get up and back off and winds up slipping in the mess.

That was all I needed to see, from that day on I made sure to trade off on any Gyn procedure.

****Forgot to mention me and Ms. GG went to see the Bodies Exhibit a while back.


It was interesting but it kept playing in my mind that this was a human being that I am looking at on display here.

Yeah it's a learning tool and the deceased gave the OK, (I think), but it's still a bit unnecessary and morbid if you ask me.

Hell I'll go on to say out right disrespectful, there was nothing up there that they couldn't manufacture and show.

Which means the real appeal is ogling some ones stripped down corpse out on display.

That is a bit much.

**** What Im Rockin...........





The K'Naan joint is hot to death!!

I hate buying albums because a lot of these artist are straight up thieves.

If it's not a CD with two or three singles and the rest of fillers, it's a an album made up of singles with no cohesion, basically a compilation album.

I wont be robbed of my money least of all by a lazy ass musician who thinks he is "spitting hot fire".

I will rob you muth%#&%#, I'll bootleg the hell out of your trife butt and give it away for free.

So when ever I come across an artist that makes an effort I give him or her his respect, and if they do exceptional work I big them up.

K'Naan gets the big up treatment.

The beats are crisp and simple and a bit nostalgic inducing with track like "ABCs", (ft Chubb Rock), lamenting the lack of book education for the young forcing them to be street educated instead.

There's T.I.A (This Is Africa), a track where he lets "studio gangstas" know what hardcore life in Africa is really like.

Than there is the "If Rap Gets Jealous” (featuring Kirk Hammett of Metallica) were he defends his right to think outside the box of Hip-Hop.

And to top the whole thing off the man can spit hot fire, lyrically smooth and clever a breath of fresh air to what is just basically conversational raps we here now on the radios.

This album is not as earthy as his first album The Dusty Foot Philosopher, but it's easier to digest for the casual rap fan.

**** Why is it that when you don't want to be bothered that's when women decide they want to give you some play?

Any other time your chasing them all over the planet.

Four different women in my complex are all smiley in my face with the hellos and conversation mean while I'm walking around with a beware of mad dog, look on my face.

These same ones would give me the cold shoulder every time I say hello now you want to talk?

%^&%*$%^*&%#$@

**** This movie was damn good.



It's not as bad as you think it is, and it's not Boogie nights.

A pretty cool romantic comedy.

****Good......





No Good......





Leave the erotic athletic stuff to the experts.


****Man I am glad he is on the outs......




If there is anyone that can save the GOP's collective butt it's Colin.

Moderate, thoughtful, honest, decisive, has the ability to see past the tip of his nose and take into account the consequences of the decision you make.

He can be there Obama and turn the party around.

But like a crackhead who enjoys his high you cant save them if they don't want to be saved, you got to let them hit rock bottom.

Besides I question his desire to fight a war of ideals, he kept his mouth shut during the Bush and Cheney fiasco as dumb and evil led us down a path of ruin.

The good soldier doesn't make changes he instead keeps the status quo.
