Why Did I Get Married?

I loved it so much I have seen 3 Times!!!

Jay Z vs. Chris Brown

Jay Z should do himself and the rest of the world a favor. That is of course STAY RETIRED!! Not interested in your album, but the movie is something to SEE! Word on the street is that Chris Brown is expected to beat Jay-Z in sales for the first week. Well, when you think about it general people would buy the Jay-Z album from the bootleg man, while these hot thangs, also known as young, horny teenagers, are going to spend their parents money to purchase Chris Brown's album! We'll see!

The Black Out

Last week they tried to have a Black Out, where black people were supposed to not purchase items from places that weren't black owned. I don't think it was a success for so many reasons. My top three reasons being :

1) It was the first of the month!! Rent had to be paid, bills had to be paid, and food had to be bought! Some people can't wait until the first of the month! They were dying to get to the store and get the things they needed for their households!
2) Truly for anything of this magnitude to work you need better planning and make sure everyone knows why it's being done. Alot of people called into radio shows wanting to know the justification in them not spending money on that day.
3) You need more than just one day to show America how valuable our spending is to the economy. For this to really work, it should have been the entire weekend, not just ONE day!

Those are my reasons why I think it didn't work, besides the MAIN factor that Black people as a whole have lost sight of what community is. We had just as good as neighborhoods as other races until the 70's hit. That "it takes a village to raise a child" days are so past us now.

Friendships

I remember as a kid being told, "Treat people the way you want to be treated", but it seems that never really sticks with children. Yes, everyone does NOT receive that message from their parents, but a some damn point in your life somebody has given you that message.

I guess my problem is always wanting to treat people nicely, with respect while maintain a realist approach to every situation. College, of course, gets you to start critically thinking about every piece of life. Over time I've had to evaluate several friendships and decide if the person and their attitude or whatever they bring to our friendship was worth me keeping them around. Some people got the boot and others are approached from a different angle. Knowing how much of what I should say or do around these people.

So as I rap up these reflections on friendships, I have realized you have to treat people the way the want to be treated. They don't call you unless they need something, you return the favor and not call them until you need something. They don't show up to things you invite them to, cool, but please remember you will have an event and I will return the favor of not showing up!!

Here are some great quotes:

One friend in a lifetime is much; two are many; three are hardly possible. Friendship needs a certain parallelism of life, a community of thought, a rivalry of aim.
Henry Adams
The difficulty is not so great to die for a friend, as to find a friend worth dying for.
Homer

Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down.
Oprah Winfrey

I value the friend who for me finds time on his calendar, but I cherish the friend who for me does not consult his calendar.
Robert Brault

Friends never betray you, only people you thought were your friends.

Jury: Isiah, MSG guilty of sexual harassment

From FOXSports.com

A jury ruled Tuesday that New York Knicks coach Isiah Thomas sexually harassed a former top team executive, subjecting her to unwanted advances and a barrage of verbal insults, but also ruled he does not have to pay punitive damages.

After an ugly, three-week trial, the ruling gives Thomas a partial victory in the $10 million lawsuit filed by Anucha Browne Sanders.

The jury did find that Madison Square Garden committed harassment against the woman, and ruled that she is entitled to punitive damages from MSG.

U.S. District Judge Gerard E. Lynch called it an "imminently reasonable" verdict and said the jury will be asked to return later Tuesday to hear brief arguments on punitive damages.
The harassment verdict was widely expected after the jury sent a note to the judge Monday indicating that it believed Thomas and the other defendants, Madison Square Garden and MSG chairman James Dolan, sexually harassed Browne Sanders, a married mother of three.
After the verdict, Browne Sanders hugged family members and friends gathered in the back of the courtroom. Thomas huddled with his lawyers, and was allowed to leave the Manhattan courthouse. Dozens of reporters and cameras gathered outside the courthouse to await his exit.
Browne Sanders, fired from her $260,000 a year job in 2006, sued Thomas and Madison Square Garden. Her case presented the Garden as "Animal House" in sneakers, a place where nepotism, sexism, crude remarks and crass language were part of the culture.

The former Northwestern college basketball star characterized Thomas as a foul-mouthed lout who initially berated her as a "bitch" and a "ho" before his anger gave way to ardor, with Thomas making unwanted advances and encouraging her to visit him "off site."
Thomas, who was hired in December 2003, followed her to the stand and denied all her allegations. Attorneys for Thomas and the Garden also portrayed Browne Sanders as incompetent and unable to adapt once the former NBA star player arrived as the Knicks' president.

"That's not about sexual harassment," MSG attorney Ronald Green said in his closing argument. "That's about team politics."
Thomas, who is married with two children, acknowledged trying to kiss Browne Sanders in December 2005, asking her "No love today?" when she recoiled. MSG president Steve Mills said he spoke with Thomas about the single incident, and the former point guard said it wouldn't happen again.

In her closing argument, Browne Sanders' attorney Anne Vladeck made note of Thomas' charismatic style and incandescent grin.
"There is no question Mr. Thomas can be charming and flash an engaging smile," she told the jury. "That does not give him the right to treat Browne Sanders like she is his woman."
Dolan, who testified before Thomas, said he dismissed the team's vice president for marketing and business operations after learning she was pressuring Garden subordinates to bolster her complaint.

The case, from its inception, proved a public relations disaster for the Knicks and the Garden, with intense coverage of the three-week trial focusing on its tawdriest aspects — star guard Stephon Marbury having sex with an intern outside a strip club, raunchy come-ons from a Marbury cousin to his Garden co-workers, Thomas' videotaped remarks about the racial dynamics of calling a woman "a bitch."

The trial did steer attention from the Knicks' on-court woes as the team geared up for its second season with Thomas as coach. The Knicks finished 33-49 last year, and have yet to win a playoff game during the Thomas regime.

Chaka Khan Join Color Purple Cast

Grammy winners Chaka Khan and BeBe Winans will join the hit musical on Jan. 9 at the Broadway Theater, producer Scott Sanders announced Tuesday. The twosome will portray the battling lovebirds, Sofia and Harpo, in the show, which is based on Alice Walker's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel.

"American Idol" finalist LaKisha Jones will come aboard Dec. 19 to play the Church Soloist, a woman who opens the musical with a rousing gospel number. Jones will play the role at all performances through Jan. 6. Starting Jan. 9, she will play the Church Soloist at evening performances and Sofia at matinees.

Wade helps Cartoon Network

Dwyane Wade, NBA Team Up with Cartoon Network to Rescue Recess in Public Schools

"I've been extremely fortunate and blessed to work with people who've helped me along the way, so I've made it a priority to give my time and energy back to young people whenever I have the opportunity," said Dwyane Wade, Miami Heat guard and 2006 NBA Finals MVP, who has signed on to serve as the national spokesperson for Rescuing Recess. Wade will lead fellow NBA players, legends and WNBA stars in making public school appearances during the school year as volunteer recess monitors. He will also appear in a national on-air spot to promote Rescuing Recess (www.rescuingrecess.com), the award-winning campaign created by Cartoon Network to champion the benefits and importance of daily recess in schools.

It's like we are in tune with each other. I was thinking of making this my advocacy project, after seeing the commercial last week.

Kanye vs. 50 cent

Kanye won the war of album sales, as announced yesterday. I'm ecstatic! I really don't care for 50's entire album. "I Get Money", is the only song I care for. I remember last week, while standing in line to buy Graduation, this guy told me I was buying the wrong album. As we both headed to the line, this same guy noticed that out of the 10 people standing in line, everyone had Graduation, not Curtis. LOL!

Couple Cheats with Each Other

This was just too funny. It comes from a UK paper, by the name of Metro. It's great that they both accuse each other of cheating, when it was with the person you're married too. This is just great.

A married couple are divorcing after they chatted each other up
on the Internet using fake names.
Sana Klaric and husband Adnan poured their
hearts out to each other over their marriage troubles.
Using the names
'Sweetie' and 'Prince of Joy' in a online chatroom, the pair thought they had
found a soulmate with whom to spend the rest of their lives. It should have
turned out like a real-life version of the 1979 Rupert Holmes song, Escape,
where a couple meet through advert by someone 'who likes pina coladas and
getting caught in the rain'.
But, unlike in the song, there was no happy
ending after they turned up for a date and realised their mistake. Now the pair,
from Zenica, Central Bosnia, are divorcing after accusing each other of being
unfaithful.
Sana, 27, said: 'I was suddenly in love. It was amazing, we
seemed to be stuck in the same kind of miserable marriages. How right that
turned out to be.'
But when it dawned on her what had happened, she said: 'I
felt so betrayed.'
Adnan, 32, said: 'I still find it hard to believe that
Sweetie, who wrote such wonderful things, is actually the same woman I married
and who has not said a nice word to me for years.'

Who Moved My Cheese?

Dealing with change is one of the hardest things on earth to deal with. Mostly, because people become comfortable in their situations and don't want to let go. I know in this book they explore the various ways people handle change. There are four characters in this book, who are you most alike?

Sniff-who anticipates change early by sniffing it out

Scurry-who quickly scurries into action and adapts

Hem- who denies change and resists it out of fear

Haw-who learns to adapt in time when he sees something better

WILD!!!

I saw this on Facebook. People are WILD!!

WE MISS VICK!

So the Falcons lossed, yet another game!!! You want to have a faith in your team, but when they're missing a key player, you can expect that things won't be the same! I can't wait for this jail time, to pass over!!

What Teachers Make

What Teachers Make,

By Taylor Mali ww.taylormali.com


The dinner guests were sitting around the tablediscussing life. One man, a lawyer, decided to explainthe problem with education. He says the problem with teachers is, "What's a kid going to learn from someone who decided his best option in life was to become a teacher?" He reminds the other dinner guests that it's true what they say about teachers: Those who can, do; those who can't, teach.


I decide to bite my tongue instead of his and resist the temptation to remind the other dinner guests that it's also true what they say about lawyers.

Because we're eating, after all, and this is polite company."I mean, you¹re a teacher, Taylor," he says. "Be honest. What do you make?"

And I wish he hadn't done that (asked me to be honest) because, you see, I have a policy about honesty and ass-kicking: if you ask for it, I have to let you have it.You want to know what I make?

I make kids work harder than they ever thought they could. I can make a C+ feel like a Congressional medal of honor and an A- feel like a slap in the face. How dare you waste my time with anything less than your very best.

I make kids sit through 40 minutes of study hall in absolute silence. No, you may not work in groups. No, you may not ask a question. Why won't I let you get a drink of water? Because you're not thirsty, you're bored, that's why.

I make parents tremble in fear when I call home: I hope I haven't called at a bad time, I just wanted to talk to you about something Billy said today. Billy said, "Leave the kid alone. I still cry sometimes, don't you?" And it was the noblest act of courage I have ever seen.I make parents see their children for who they are and what they can be.You want to know what I make?

I make kids wonder, I make them question. I make them criticize. I make them apologize and mean it.

I make them write, write, write. And then I make them read. I make them spell definitely beautiful, definitely beautiful, definitely beautiful over and over and over again until they will never misspell either one of those words again.

I make them show all their work in math. And hide it on their final drafts in English. I make them understand that if you got this (brains) then you follow this (heart) and if someone ever tries to judge you by what you make, you give them this (the finger).

Let me break it down for you, so you know what I say is true: I make a goddamn difference! What about you?


Thank to Jen B. for this!! :)
