What We Owe

These are only a few snapshots of the people we owe. On this Inauguration Day and every day we should recognize where we come from and who we owe.

I am proud to stand with my President today.

Happy Inauguration!

Winning at all Cost: For Shame Mr. Romney

 

Race. It has come down to that for the Grand Old Party. With zero percent of the African-American vote and the Latino vote slipping it comes down to angry uneducated white men/women who are afraid of losing their America. Instead of calming their fears you have chosen to exasperate them. You  have chosen to divide this country by creating a ‘them’ and ‘us’ America.

Shame on Mr. Romney.

Well I’m America too Mr. Romney. Did you notice the faces at the Democratic National Conventions? Americans were there. White, Black,  Christians, Muslims, Buddhist, Atheist, men, women, children…they are Americans too. Where were all our faces at the grand old party?

You say you are a moral man Mr. Romney but where are those morals? Where is this religious family man compass you speak so  highly of but have yet to demonstrate to America?  Manipulating, distorting, and misleading the truth is just plain old lying and you have done a lot of that.o

Desperation. Winning at all cost. Suppressing votes. Desperation.

You are not what America needs at all. You are a terrorist, sir. No one may have ever asked you to see your birth certificate but we certainly need to ask you to show us your good character. But  I suspect (no, I know)  you lost any good character years ago. Many, many, many years ago. I hope you really do find the God you say drives you….a God I do not want to know if  that is true.

Shame on you Mr. Romney. Go away.

PRAY HATE PRAYHATE

 

 

I don’t care about religions anymore. I don’t care if you believe in one God or many. What I do care about is common respect for a fellow human being. It is not my intent to bash Christianity. I’m not Christian and never will be but I respect anyone who truly holds Christianity in their hearts. I was raised Muslim and although I do not practice like I should-I don’t cover my hair and I refuse to wear hijab so I’ll take that up with Allah when we meet. But I do carry Islam in my heart. I’m a good person. I treat people well and I only expect to be treated the same. I could never scream out things that attempt to break someones soul and destroy their character.

When I was a teenager I could be the mean girl. I was insecure, selfish, and spoiled. I could say somethings that would cut like a knife but you know what? That night as I tried to go to sleep my subconscious would replay my day for me and I’d be haunted. I grew out of being mean, slowly, but I found it so much easier to be a good person than it was to be hateful. I learned that lesson early in life. It boggles my mind how day after day after day since 2008 that I can see men and women filled with so much rage and so much hate and not feel dirty from it.

What is it in their soul that keeps that hate so pure? So many of these people claim a religion, claim this country was built on this religion, and will wear their WWJD t-shirts proudly but will make statements like:

Let his days be few and let another take his office

May his children be fatherless and his wife a widow

Kansas GOP House Speaker Mike O’Neal

O’Neal forwarded the prayer with his own message: “At last — I can honestly voice a Biblical prayer for our president! Look it up — it is word for word! Let us all bow our heads and pray. Brothers and Sisters, can I get an AMEN? AMEN!!!!!!”

American terrorism.

I don’t see how anyone of any religion can bow their heads down to pray and carry this much hate.

Education is a Right for Everyone not Weed

Education is not a dirty word. It is not only for the wealthy. Slaves fought for it. It’s not just a privilege it is a right.

Without education, you are not going anywhere in this world. Malcolm X

I actually get what Mitt is saying here but if the cost of education keeps rising then it becomes an issue of only the wealthy can afford it. So, where does that leave the poor without options of education? Where does that leave whole communities like ours who do not have economic wealth? A clear line drawn between the haves and the have-nots.

So I don’t understand the grumblings of young black Americans who feel the President needs to be concerned about weed when there are pressing issues that not only affect the community at large-Seriously, discontent over weed? I’m sure the right to smoke was not a factor in any slave rebellions

To put it in colloquial terms: Weed is a non-motherFing factor in this election. Education is THE factor.

Get your life

Pathetic

 

Looked pretty happy signing in that healthcare law Mitt. You know the one that our President used as a model for our national health care law.  Don’t worry I’ll pretend those pics don’t exist like I try to pretend you don’t exist. Hypocrite.

So much going on and I feel like I can’t handle everything.

Those moments when you(I)  feel panic creeping up behind you (MEEEEEE).

Breathe. Count. Exercise. Make a list. Prioritize. hitting the fear head on is the only thing that calms me but sometimes that takes a moment for me to face. this week I have to get that creeping feeling from behind me.

Have to face it eventually. How do you tackle those anxious feelings?

This may be a bit personal

but we’re friends, I feel free to share. Last night after a very long bath, it’s migraine season again, I was fumbling through my draws looking for something to wear. Maybe, I’m moody but I was horrified when I could not find any pretty pj’s to put on. All my stuff is old, like ewwww old. How the hell did that happen? I believe in looking nice even when I go to bed even if there is no one next to me to judge. How did my evening wear get down to frayed waist bands, faded colors, and mixed match everything?

I’m not a satin frilly pale pink robe kinda girl, I don’t mind the sweatpants to bed look as long as it’s cute to me. I won’t wear said sweatpants outside, ever, clothes are regulated to outside clothes and inside clothes. I will not do the drop off school run in pjs. Just not a good look for me. So how my nighttime drawer became a nightmare is a mystery. Will rectify asap.

Now as much as I do love buying ‘inside’ clothes there is a limit. If I pay $60 plus for a pj set I’m wearing that isth to work on date night. *amending inside outside clothes rule?

Dinner with George Clooney &

President Barack Obama…

So I get a text from the Obama/Biden camp requesting my donation with a chance to have dinner with these two men.

Let me tell you why this is a bad idea.

I’ve been looking for a reason to let my inner crazy out and being seated at a table with GC and BO is just the excuse I need. I doubt I would be able to carry on an intelligent conversation anyway so why not do something inappropriate so I can get thrown down by the Secret Service …well, actually I’m hoping that will happen at the end of the evening anyway. MIB Ziiiiiiiiing!

The invite is to George Clooney’s L.A. Home. George, you have never been on my dream list because of that two-year contract thing you got going but Honey, you REALLY do not want me knowing where you live. No I won’t stalk outright because imo stalkers have low self-esteem and no self-respect. I think I’m better than that but if you invite me to your house for dinner once I see no reason why I should not be able to drop by at least once when I’m in the neighborhood…Okay maybe I’m just an uppity stalker. Any case no amount of background check will show how stalkerish I may become

Unless Michelle is there seating next to me I’m going to try to cop a quick feel of her husband. I know he’s the president and I should be respectful but COME ON if he goes in for a hug I’m going to have to be pried away with the jaws of life…THE. JAWS. OF. LIFE!!!!

I wonder what kind of cologne they wear….IDIETHINKINGABOUTIT

I just want one of him

Facial hair is my weakness.
