Fed Up!

I am so fed up with the black community. The young men sit around and talk about how the white man is doing this to them and the government is doing that. No you're doing it to yourselves. If you want something bad enough no one can keep you from getting it. So instead of smoking that blunt why don't you pick up a book and learn something. Instead of selling that dope go flip burgers at McDonalds while going to school.Young ladies instead of laying up and having children on top of children, go to school, get a career, not just a job that's just going to hold you over. Our race is in a spiral downfall. If you want to blame someone pick up a mirror and stare real hard at the person looking back at you because only that person is the reason for your failure. You talk about white people want to keep you down,they don't have to because they know you're going to do it yourself. God gave us the gift of free will and some of you just use it as if it's toilet paper. Do something with your life. Make a difference! Our ancestors fought too hard for our freedom and the right to educate ourselves for it to be thrown away so easily. We are descendants of kings and queens.Act like it!

Just needed to vent. I'm just fed up. Sometimes it makes me sick to watch how the people of my race are throwing away their lives. Blaming everyone but themselves for the way their lives are turning out or have turned out. The made those decisions. Black on black crime is a disgrace and a waste of life. Instead working hard some choose to take the easy way out. Doing that you will get no where in life.

My parents have always worked hard for what they have. They raised me to do the same. They preached to me as a child to get an education, work hard for the things that you want, and never let anyone tell you that you can't do something. If you want it bad enough you'll get it. I admit to falling off the wagon a few times but I climbed back on it. I'm in school, I take care of my son, and I stay away from the drama that I know will pull me away from my goal.

It's Been A While...

It's been a while since I've last blogged. It wasn't intentional but every time I intend to sit down and write, something always comes up. Now it's time to play catch up.

Let's see...Spring break was pretty awesome for me. I started it off by going to my first hockey game with one of my childhood friends. The Admirals won their 12th game in a row that night (I believe their streak is 20 now). I got out on the ice for the last post game skate of the season. BAD IDEA! Me+Ice skates=epic fail! But at least I got out there and tried. I did get a few autographs before I made my not so smooth exit off the ice. My dad took Spring break off because we were suppose to make a trip to Connecticut to see my Grandpa but we ended up not going. Instead we planned the trip for after the semester and spent the week at home. On Tuesday we took my son to the aquarium, which he loved. Then on Wednesday I took my son back to the aquarium with my best friend from elementary school and her son (I spent a lot of time with childhood friends over the break it seems). Thursday my dad, my son, and I went to IHOP and then to the zoo. We had a great time. After that we were pretty much home bound. None of us are really use to getting out that much in one week. Kinda sad now that I think about it.

Last week wasn't really a good week. My mother's health isn't doing so well but all I can do is hope and pray that things will turn around. And to top off a not-so-good week I lost my jump drive that had all my assignments on it and my portfolio for my childhood education classes. I was a wreck! Luckily I found it. Now I have everything backed up in two places.

It's a little after 5am and I'm working off of 2 1/2hrs of sleep. I have lots due this evening and I'm a little behind due to the fact that I couldn't find my jump drive. THAT GOODNESS FOR COFFEE!!!
