Last night in Barack’s speech he paid homage to MLK in his speech…. We need to understand that “Now is the time!” There are a lot of things that Barack can put into play but WE have to understand that WE are the ones that have to make the change!!!

WE NEED TO KNOW THAT OUR VOICES DO COUNT AND THAT WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE REGISTER TO VOTE AND VOTE!!!!!!!!! Obama voter registration click here!!! MAKE THE DIFFERENCE THAT YOU WANT TO SEE IN OUR FUTURE!!!!!! Check out the parts of his speech that referenced back to MLK’s. . .

Barack Obama’s Speech:

“Now is the time to end this addiction, and to understand that drilling is a stop-gap measure, not a long-term solution. Not even close…. Now is the time to finally meet our moral obligation to provide every child a world-class education, because it will take nothing less to compete in the global economy….Now is the time to finally keep the promise of affordable, accessible health care for every single American. If you have health care, my plan will lower your premiums….Now is the time to help families with paid sick days and better family leave, because nobody in America should have to choose between keeping their jobs and caring for a sick child or ailing parent…..Now is the time to change our bankruptcy laws, so that your pensions are protected ahead of CEO bonuses; and the time to protect social security for future generations…..And now is the time to keep the promise of equal pay for an equal day’s work, because I want my daughters to have exactly the same opportunities as your sons……Now, many of these plans will cost money, which is why I’ve laid out how I’ll pay for every dime - by closing corporate loopholes and tax havens that don’t help America grow.”

Martin Luther King’s ‘I Have a Dream Speech’:

“It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked “insufficient funds.” But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. So we have come to cash this check — a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice. We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quick sands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God’s children.”

When you want the world to slow down so that you can just sit back and breath again of course it speeds up to nine times too fast!

I have always wanted to stay productive but you know we all have those days when we want to do nothing at all, so I say I’m busy but in all actuality “I’m busy doing nothing!”

Stay focused and have less days like this and more days working on your ultimate goal in life!

Calm Down

God determines who walks into your life, it’s up to you to decide who you let walk away, who you let stay, and who you refuse to let go.

I don’t know how I stumbled onto this site but I know that I am in LOVE with it! I’m addicted and I love it, check it out Teamsugar

Here he goes again, Diddy is never to far with a Reality Show “I Want to Work for Diddy” premiered this Monday at 9pm. The purpose of the show is 12 Contestants will try to manipulate, fight, claw, bleed and as one of the contestants mentioned, “Kill” for a chance to be Diddy’s personal assistant! Diddy is expecting people to do 50 tasks in 24 hrs because if Diddy can’t sleep neither can you! This man will cuss, fuss, yell, insult you and drives the contestants (and even his REAL workers) to insanity and beyond just for a chance to be a “personal assistant!” According to the people that DO work for him (and of all of his former assistants)…they have to give up everything cause its not allowed in his world to be able to have a life outside of his!

Sidebar- Those who have seen the show know that there is a Trans gender woman, Lavern, on the show, I’m not upset about this at all but what I am upset about is how nice Lavern looks versus some of the “REAL” woman on the show. I mean her hair is laid, her make up is hot (it looks like she was a Mac MUA before), her outfit is tight and not once did she complain about her feet hurting! I mean not to diss the girl who had her breasts all out, but she did fuss about her feet hurtin not to be outdone by PO-Oprah (Po’ Oprah) who is 250 pounds and she did not complain!
I like Kendra, I thought she was a lot of fun and she has a spunky attitude, not sure how this is going to work for her in the end but good luck!

Not embarrassed to admit that I ooh-la-la’ed one non-tech spec about the LG Shine, which LC expertly demonstrated: the fact that it makes an awesome mirror. But since I don’t need a new phone, I have found a way to make my iPhone do double-duty: the Echo mirrored iPhone case, just $13. It doesn’t look available for the iPhone 3G just yet, so 1st gen users, enjoy, and 3G users — just shine it up extra good for the reflection.

Verizon DareI think I have fallen in LOVE again… with this new phone and I’m soooo excited because it’s so user friendly and is full of features! Full Touch, 3.2 Mega Pixel Camera, Navigator (though I have this on my NV), V Cast Video etc.
I can actually take a picture and upload it directly to my blog or I can crop it and I can write something cute on the pic before I send it…

Now it might not be an Apple I-Phone but…

the best part is I’m on an UNLIMITED plan so I can be on it and not feel bad! Though I don’t talk on the phone too much I might as well not get lost and look great when I do! Thanks VERIZON!
