Blogging Points-November 23, 2005

He Y'all....
Just testing stuff out before I get started. Okay, here goes...
1-30,000 national security letters.... I heard this on Air America Radio, Washington Post, Democracy Now, and a few other places. I am one of the people probably on this list, but I have never committed a crime, nor insinuated anything violent nor illegal, I am totally innocent of all this crazy nonsense and I guess this is the new America, complete with Patriot Act abuses under Section 215. You name it I've been through it in the last 4 years. Oh well, home invasions, "investigations of my home, neighbors, family and business. NO I AM NOT PARANOID!
2-DeutscheWelle (hope I spelled it right) has a new Best of the Blogs (BOBS) and it seems pretty interesting.
3-Ever wanted to change your life,(drastically) but don't know how? I want to do that, but I feel so stuck. I managed to read Oprah's magazine - O - recently on how to make some changes and be happy with it.
4-Also, I want to have Baby Beyonce' on either my blog or my site, just because it's so cute and funny. Until I get it up and going, just Google in "Baby Beyonce" if you haven't seen it yet.
5-BTW, Beyonce' and her mom, Tina Knowles were on Oprah, and I missed it. Complete with a fashion show of their new clothing line, ladies...
6-America's Next Top Model- Who do you think will win? Kim, Bre or Nicole? Who do you think will be the top 3 finalists?
7-Mary J Blige is on the cover of this month's Vibe magazine-shout out to a much deserved diva, who is finally getting her props.
8-See me (and my kid) on wjla.com and channel 7/8 (out of Washington, DC-ABC affiliates) at the Silver Spring Thanksgiving Day Parade. Hope you see us. Maureen Bunyan and Doug Hill were the officiators/commentators. It was pretty cool. Silver Spring is becoming a nice little city.
9-I highly recommend the beautiful book, "A Small Nation of People:WEB DuBois and African American Portraits of Progress. It is a collection of the most beautiful photographs of African Americans at the turn of the century (mostly late 1890s and between 1900 and 1920 era) I love photographs, they can tell you so much. A picture truly is worth a thousand words.
10-Alas, Nicole Richey needs to eat something; she's starting to look like Snoopy's pal,Woodstock. "Nicole, eat something, please".
11-Speaking of eating... genetically modified foods; not a good idea for your health. Usually anything that should be grown normally and it's twice the size may be genetically modified. Watch your produce, milk and other dairy products and animal flesh. So much to watch out for... mad cow, alar in apples, blah, blah, blah...Nothing left to eat.
12-Go to Starpages.net for more.
BYE! PEACE!

One More Thing ...

Forgot to add this... There's this new show I think, called But Can They Sing?, on VH-1 I think. I'll save you all a lotta time... simple...Can They Sing? NO!

Trying to Make Sense Outta Things

Nothing serious y'all, just checking in. See, I wanted to ad some stuff and it's getting kinda late and there are other things I need to do, seriously...Just wanted to say that for all the Patti LaBelle fans out there, I know you guys watched the Tribute to Patti LaBelle, hosted by none other than another diva's kid, Tracee Ellis Ross. Well, the show wasn't long enough, but I am glad UPN gave it a go. Although I don't watch much tv, I do watch two shows on UPN: America's Next Top Model and Everybody Hates Chris (comedian Chris Rock's new show, based on his book of 1999, Rock This!). It's as good as the book. I brought it years ago and I laughed out loud as I read it. It was so good I had to go get the video Bigger and Blacker. Also based on the book.
Other than this, I have nothing to say, except go to Starpages.net for more info on what I'm doing and please check out the superbly wonderful BOBS--Best of the Blogs, which is interesting, but I don't know if it's for everyone. I have a banner on my site, so click on it and the World of Celebrities, so you can stay abreast of what's going on in the world. As always, PEACE!

Rosa Parks

Never finished what I was saying earlier about Rosa Parks. It's just this:
She lived a remarkable life, and was not tired nor did her feet hurt. She simply refused to get up because she was very upset about the mutilation and death of young Emmett Till in nearby Mississippi. She was secretary for the Montgomery, Alabama chapter of the NAACP. Many things people did not know. Hopefully, future history books will get it right, ya' know....
Oh, and BTW, because of Rosa Parks, I hate to sit at the back of the bus. PEACE!

Blogging Points

Greetings!
I want to touch on many topics, but one in particular deserves mention here today:
the transiition of Ms. Rosa Louise (Edwards) McCauley Parks. Whilst we honor her, let us not let her legacy fall by the wayside. Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
