A Friendly Reminder to No One and Everyone at the same time

Something made of glass can easily break; it is vulnerable; and we are all vulnerable in different ways. Sometimes we forget our own vulnerability and "throw stones" at other people in the form of criticism.

A person might remind us that we too have our own faults and weakenesses by saying "people who live in glass houses should not throw stones".

Check that.

A Morning Editorial

Please excuse the lack of structure, I'm posting from the phone.

For several weeks now, I've been beating myself up over another failed relationship.

This morning I came to the realization that though I made more than a few mistakes, I gave the best I had to offer.

It is NOT my fault that I gave more than I got in return. It is NOT my fault things didn't turn out the way I expected.

It IS my fault, however, that I accepted some things in the very beginning, against my better judgement. I tried to work with the hand I chose to keep and in the end, it just wasn't worth my time or effort to keep playing.

I gambled. I lost a bit, I won a bit, just like at a casino. Instead of "pocketing" my winnings, I kept gambling and at the end of the day I went home with nothing.

The how's and why's I losty will probably never be answered to my satisfaction, but now I'm ok with that.

I have not and will not cry over my loss. I am satisfied that a real jackpot is in my future and I look forward to winning.

Old "Johnson Publishing" Magazines Online

Just learned that "Johnson Publishing  Co."  has partnered with Google to digitize its magazine  archives. If you're a "Jet" and "Ebony" fan  (like me)  from back in the day, just click on  a  desired decade, choose a magazine, then click on "read..."
 
Ebony - Google Book Search
Jet - Google Book Search
Black World/Negro Digest - Google Book Search

 

It's A Party Ya'll!!! Man, keep the drama with ya mama!

I'm not dealing with the bullshit today.  Don't step in here unless you plan to have a good time!

If you peek, you should speak! If you're able to see this post, you're welcome to join in. I have no time for beefs today, silent or public.

Cuz I know how trife somma ya'll are...*giggle*

I'm Baaaaaack!

I want to thank each person who sent me a Merry Christmas, Happy Birthday and/or Happy New Year!

Thank you to each person who sent me a Christmas/Birthday card, it was very much appreciated (more than you will ever know).

I haven't "properly" said goodbye to 2008, nor ushered in 2009.  As most of you, I have cleaned house.

If for some reason you find yourself not connected to me anymore, it's for one or more reasons.

1)  I can no longer tolerate your ignorance, your undying need to fit in or your sense of humor that is really funny to only a handful of folks

2) I found out that behind your back is the knife that you occasionally bring forth to stab me (I'm sure you never thought I'd find out, but I did)

3) I really don't have anything in common with you or I never see anything on your page that inspires me

4) I accepted you without really knowing much about you and nothing really ever clicked

or 5) I found out some truths about you that makes me question our friendship so

I'm still working at being stress-free and we all know that some folks just aren't conducive to that type of environment.

So now I've edited my contacts, changed my phone number and am entering 2009 with aspirations of becoming an even better person, a better friend to those who deserve my friendship and the best wife-to-be that I can be.

*sigh* Back to work I go... 

In Case You Missed It LMAO

Oh well...

Old Movies

I love old movies, especially black movies, but they're so hard to find.  Not blaxpoitation movies of the 70's, but movies from the 30's - 60's.

I ran across this on YouTube.  It's only 1 out of 6, but very interesting if you have the time to watch.
