Just a Question

Ok Ok Ok...Astrology was one of the earliest forms of religion because it focused on worshipping the Sun and how the constellations move and shift and are displayed based upon the position of the Sun. Cool Fine I get all that...I was just thinking isn't it interesting how Jesus, is referred to as the Son (same pronunciation just different spelling)There are 12 astrological signs...and there are 12 Apostles...Does anyone else see ANYTHING there or am I just over thinking?

When The System Fails

In case you have not already noticed, our system, our way of living is not producing the things that it said it would produce. College graduates are applying for the same jobs that people without high school diplomas are applying for. I have a friend who graduated with his degree in Art and Theater, he works at Ruby Tuesdays...with the increases in tuition and rising debt left and right, college graduates are not becoming an asset to society but they are adding to the number of growing unemployment. The degrees with the highest chances of getting hired include business,engineering,medical professions, and mass communications. But where does that leave people who studied theater, or art history, how about the social sciences such as anthropology or sociology. Read a report that 1 in every 4 college students that graduate do not get a job within their field of study, all those countless hours writing research papers amount to nothing outside the comforts of your university. Of course you can always learn life lessons from your experiences but those lessons will not get you out of your debt from student loans. Our system is crashing we were feed a belief that going to college meant gaining independence, starting your career. How many college graduates live with their parents not because of choice or convenience, but out of necessity to make sure they can survive the "American Dream"

Benton Harbor

This is something that we have got to be apart of…they are changing our country right before our eyes…we are having no say in how they are shaping OUR country…We work, we pay taxes, we die for this country…and the people in office are making the decisions…They say the pen is mightier than the sword, that is because the person with the sword died for the country, the man with the pen was in his office when the war happened…

Just a Random Post….

I was just outside people watching enjoying the beautiful day and beautiful women, when I decided to start writing just to see how things would turn out. What I decided to write about was people, more specifically the importance of interaction and conversation. I was thinking that more and more things have made it easier to not talk to people. For instance texting as opposed to calling people, but this is not a repeat of what was said before. I realized the number of things I have truly learned about people and from people just be listening to what they had to say, they talk about their life, their interpretations of the events in their life. As I continue to talk with people I have noticed that in most situations you are both a teacher and a student you can enhance your life in every way by just conversing with someone. If the eyes are the windows to the soul than the voice is the expression of the soul. Give conversation a try start a conversation with a random person, you never know there could be a friend inside that stranger. But like I said I just started writing to see how this would turn out…I hope you enjoyed it...

Life's Purpose

I have been doing a lot of thinking as of lately trying to figure out what is the purpose of life? The physical earthly purpose of life not the spiritual religious aspects. When I look at the world that I inherited, that I was born into, our world worships the material, we as people hold a belief of life that the only things that matter are thing things that we can touch and grasp for example, money, stocks, wealth. These things create desire, they create restraints and worse of all they create casualties. I have realized that I am not excited to enter into the "real world" because it is horribly backwards and misguided. You work hard in school, some for 20 years including elementary school, just to finally reach the goal of a career? But what is a job exactly you are no longer exchanging your hours for assignments and knowledge now your time is transformed into funds/dollars. You are working making your money but if you are a member of the inherited society you must now pay for cable, electricity, internet, cell phone, God forbid you have college loans to pay off or a car, an apartment or house. So once again you are placed in a endless cycle, I don't understand the purpose I don't understand the deeper meaning….I don't understand the physical earthly purpose of life.

This was just me venting trying to get something off my mind...

BLACK THANKSGIVING

We as African Americans should be ashamed that our own praise of athletes over scholars and rappers over activist has lead outsider observers of our culture label the NBA ALL-STAR WEEKEND as BLACK THANKSGIVING. The Civil Rights Act was passed in 1964 THAT WASN'T even 50 years ago and we still do not know our history. WAKE UP


The first one is CNN's Homepage the second is the actual article

No Name

I was just sitting here and starting writing man it is black history month I am trying to figure out how many people really know their history. I guess I just wanted to blog about something I believe. In life we only see extensions of yourselves, our arms, our legs. We cannot see our back our even our face. The saying goes that the eyes are the window to the soul, we can't even see our own soul but everywhere you look you see the soul of others. You see other people in full you can see every part of every other person that is before us. You can see ever person on TV in magazines even the man on the corner, but you can't see yourself in full. I believe that it is a reminder from life the importance of other people, it is a natural reminder to be selfless. Because if you look at things on the surface those people are greater than you, not greater in belief or greater in worth but when ever you look at a person their being is greater than your being. I look around where I am now all I see is pieces of me but I see the whole of every woman and man around me.
