Legal Advice Needed

Today, while at work, I went into my Manager's office and got a mini Reese's Peanut Butter cup from her candy bowl. I went to my desk, removed the foil wrapper and the other brown paper wrapper that the candy sits in. However, unknown to me, the candy was in two paper wrappers. (Here's where it got ugly) Not knowing that the extra paper was still on the candy, I just threw the entire piece in my mouth and started chewing. For just a moment, I thought it may have been bad peanut butter but because of the taste, I kept chewing until I swallowed! At this point, my throat and my brain were not on the same page. My mind was saying, "spit it out" but my throat was saying, "it's way too late" since it had already gone so far down. For the next 10 minutes, I snarled, gagged and prayed in the company of almost every employee on the 5th floor and in the end still ate a wad of paper while some fat chick slapped me on the back and constantly repeated, "There there, that happens to me all the time". How embarrassing. Can I sue the Hershey's Corporation? LOL

POEM OF THE DAY - "Hallelujah"

Did you know that Hallelujah is the greatest form of praise to God? Did you know that the word Hallelujah occurring in Psalms is a Hebrew request for a congregation to join in praise? It can be translated as "Praise Yah, you people", and is usually worded in English contexts as "Praise ye the Lord" or "Praise the Lord". This is not a direct translation, as Yah represents the first two letters of YHWH, the Hebrew personal name for God, and not the title "lord". Did you know that in the Hebrew Bible, Hallelujah is actually a two-word phrase, not one word? Hallelu: joyous praise, to boast in God, or to act madly or foolishly (Hebrew translation) and Yah: God (Hebrew translation). Now you know.


Hallelujah!

Become amassed with power
overwhelmed by the thought of freedom
inhaling the good
as the light surrounds you
then leads you to higher ground.
There you will find your new self
stronger, richer, wiser
and worthy.
Sup at the table of abundance
and enjoy with sanction
from the spirit of generosity
and then give without limits
humbly, wholly and
anonymously.
Allow love to live
self to die
and acceptance to thrive
in your character that precedes
who you are
for people unguided,
misguided and disguised.
Raise your hands in praise,
close your eyes
and turn your head
to the bitter days when you
fed the mouth of the adversary
that tried to imprison
the person that you’ve become.
Hallelujah!
There are greater works yet undone.
Hallelujah!

Question of the Day

Why was Precious' daughter so light when she and the father was so dark?

Public Service Announcement (Country Church Style)

The attached video (as true as it is) had me laughing so hard that air came out my ears. When I first heard it I didn't know whether to drop my head and cry or frantically look for my choir robe. The tune reminded me so much of the songs I grew up hearing at my small country church. You know the one they sang right after the devotional hymn. But pay close attention to the lead singer, who is giving 110% to outshine the pre-nosejob, Patti LaBelle in the background. I hope the tune stays in your head after the club tonight and hijacks your hormones. Now sing along...

Just a Word of Advice

If you are a guy, that likes dressing like a girl...and if you look in the mirror and you look more like a guy then you do a girl...leave it to the actual girls (that's all I'm saying).

But, if you end up looking like an ugly guy dressed up as an ugly girl, that's blasphemous and grounds for your friends being burned at the stake for not telling you that you look a hot mess.

The Arts

I know it's been a while, but a brother has been real busy with the holidays, a small writing gig and a regular job. But today, I had to take a moment and ask anyone had they listened to the Tom Joyner Morning Show this morning and hear them clown some guy that was promoting a book that he had written about the severe infidelities in his past relationship. While listening to the interview, I could not help but hear this guy inappropriately use word after word and stumble through questions that had been asked to him and it dawned on me, that the arts are going to shit! Dance, music and now the literary arts. This mess has to stop. If that wasn't enough, he used the word, "deceptional" when describing his risque' escapades. Now, correct me if I am wrong, but deceptional is not a word. As a writer, lover of the art of written word and published author, this disturbs me because I get the feeling that for most people, it's not about keeping the arts alive for the generations to follow us but all about the celebrity and of course, the money. Please support the arts...real art.

Somebody Pull The Plug on These Freaks!

Now see, I was minding my own business, thinking that this would be a normal evening after dinner, surfing the web to find something to peak my interest and I came across this. Now let me tell you, when you watch this, I guarantee that of all the oddities that you've seen on the world wide web, none will beat this. If anyone would have told me that there are actually men in this world that view silicone dolls as love interests and would act as such I would have said, "You been smoking that good stuff way too much." But it's true. So here it is in all it's unabashed glory, the documentary about men that are in love with and have sexual affairs with dolls. Yes dolls, and not the human kind. http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/guys-and-dolls/ I didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but I mostly laughed.

The curse of....

J-Lo fell while performing last week and now Lady GaGa falls. What is going on? I believe one of these singing female haters put the Louisiana Gris-Gris on these chicks to put a spur in their careers. Let's see who is may be?

#6. Rihanna. It is already rumored she is a devil worshipper and with her disappointing record sales, she has every reason to make someone else look bad so that she can shine.

#5. Janet Jackson. Just becasue. Janet is quiet and sneaky and with her inside connections in the industry, she may be having someone grease the stage. And then, she may want other women to feel same embarassment she felt after the Superbowl incident.

#4. Toni Braxton. Nothing says that your at the top of your game when every other chick is breaking their asses and you are locking lips with a kid half your age...even if you are not at the top of your game.

#3. Madonna. Because I hear that she is hateful and Michael Jackson said so.

#2. Jennifer Husdon. Straight jealousy because we all know, she can sing but she can't dance and these days, you have to do both to sell records.

#1. Adam Lambert. And you know why! Clay Aiken told him to do it because he had done it to make Beyonce' fall a while back. He just took the thing to far and becasue he's angry, he's not finished.

Lord be a brace for Aretha Franklin's ankles and steady her wobbling heels! Keep her feet grounded and her knees planted firmly together so that she will stand and sing in your her own way and not be driven down the Freeway of Love by ambulance...(let me stop)

POEM OF THE DAY - "VISIONARY"

I don't tell this story about this poem often because sometimes it just sounds to much like make believe but here it is. One night while I was asleep, I had a dream that I was reciting a poem and right after I recited it, I woke up and was still reciting the poem to myself. It had to have been about 3:00 a.m. so I jumped out of bed and wrote the poem down. It was the exact last entry to my book. Here it is:

Visionary

Upon closing my eyes at night
I see wonderful things.
I see marvelous places,
beautiful skies,
beautiful faces.
The visions are played like a film in my head.
Pictures of people,
some living,
some dead.
Pictures of times
some gone,
some to come.
The beginnings for many,
the end for some.
I can always remember the things I’ve seen
the fire,
the snow,
the valley’s green.
The visions are played like a film in my head
A gift from God?
A message to spread?
Fathers crying
and children at play
old people laughing,
the world in dismay.
If only you knew of the things I’ve seen
some visions violent
others serene.
Some of horrendous
wars to be,
some of Sudan
being set free.
Visions of disease
as a thing of the past
or terrorist killing us
in one last blast.
It’s hard to describe the things that I’ve seen
as these visions
play their nightly routine.
Invading my mind
capturing time
was a vision of a world
with no death or crime.
Visions of addicts
giving up dope
and some of preachers
giving up hope.
One vision I love time after time
that reinforcement is brought
to the fibers that bind
and the thread that make up
all of mankind.

Welcome Back, Sade Adu

After a very long hiatus, Sade is coming back with a new CD to be released around Valentines day, February 2010. I am sure that after all these years, she needs her coins, so please order it or buy it from a local music store and not bootleg it. (But just in case you get your sticky fingers on a copy before I buy mine...)
