Happy Saturday all!
Let’s get started…
10 - Lose Yourself
I listen to this song when I feel like my back is against the wall…when I need some motivation. It’s one of those songs that touches your spirit and sparks a movement. I think it is brilliant, because it paints a picture of “I gotta do something, because I can’t fail”…it also shows that with hard work and faith, you can overcome anything. There are only a handful of rap songs that I consider brilliant…this is one (the lyrics are crazy good!)…

9 - Ms. Betty
Oh how I love an old woman not afraid to be who she is. Betty White is such a woman. She has earned the right to say whatever the hell she wants to, and does so. I’m sure you have seen this clip around, but it is way too good to pass up…

8 - Feel Your Boobies
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month…this is your official reminder to do your self-examinations, and if you are due, go in for your mammograms!
7 - D.I.S.B.S.
A New York county printed “Barack Osama” on absentee ballots that were mailed to voters. They are calling it a mistake…although it seems to me that since the article I read said that the ballots were checked by three people before they went out…a mistake? I think not…
6 - The Cat Is Out Of The Bag…
Beyonce’ is finally admitting to being married to Jay-Z, in an article in Essence magazine. She talks about their relationship, why the wedding was small and intimate (”It’s been my day so many days already,” she says), and why she didn’t want an engagement ring (although I’ve seen pics of her with a HUGE ring on her finger here lately).
Look, I happen to like Beyonce’ and Jay. I respect their decision to keep their relationship out of the spotlight. I also understand that her talking now is about her having a new CD to promote. Release some tidbits, sell some records…she’s not stupid. I can’t knock her hustle at all, or be mad at anything that she does.
5 - I Love Your Blog Award
I love blogging…and all the folks that read my blog, let me just say that I love that you contribute and share your thoughts here. It makes it all worthwhile!
The Style Master has given me the “I Love Your Blog” award and I want to say thank you. A few months ago, I did a guest spot over at his space which was a lot of fun. The Style Master has a very keen eye for fashion, and I love his very good advice!
I am supposed to pick 7 blogs that I love to pass this on to…but I can’t. I can’t be asked to pick yet again, so I won’t. If you are here and reading this (and you are on my blogroll), congratulations! I love you all!
4 - ???s
How in the hell can you come out and say that you did nothing wrong, when the report says you did, Mrs. Palin? I think that is called talking out of the side of your neck…
Why exactly should Obama denounce and repudiate the words of John Lewis?
Speaking of which, why is it that Obama has to apologize for everything every Black person says?
Who is apologizing for the people at the rally screaming “Terrorist!” and “Traitor!” and “Kill Him!”
3 - I Could Look At This All Day
I thoroughly enjoyed yesterday’s OSF! Prince is THE MAN!! And he is just so pretty!
2 - Below 30 Days
24 days left…I hope you have all checked your voter registration and are ready to go!
1 - Behind The Scenes In Denver
It is videos like the one below that keep me with hope in my heart, with motivation to do what I can to help this man become President. Even with all the bullshit of the race baiting and hatred being spewed, with all the craziness Palin has been talking…I look at this family, at this man, and believe honestly that what he is doing is not about him…it’s about us. This is a moment in our lives, in my life, when I feel that the choice is in my hands. I read the following somewhere…it is a prayer offered by Pastor Arnold Conrad at an Old Dude event somewhere…:
“I also would also pray, Lord, that your reputation is involved in all that happens between now and November, because there are millions of people around this world praying to their god—whether it’s Hindu, Buddha, Allah—that his opponent wins, for a variety of reasons. And Lord, I pray that you will guard your own reputation, because they’re going to think that their God is bigger than you, if that happens. So I pray that you will step forward and honor your own name with all that happens between now and election day.”
Of course he meant something else when he said it…but I take it and I know that he will…but it may come as a surprise to some people on how he does it.
