New Job

I got a new job! Lemme just say it’s in the educational field and I’m not a substitute.  They pay is alright. I realize it’s a stepping stone for my teaching career. It will look great on my resume and I actually don’t mind going to work daily.
Right now I’m trying to sort out a [...]

Open Secrets

Don’t you just hate open secrets?  Secrets that everyone already knows. What’s the fun in knowing a secret when thousands of other folks are already in on it?  Who can you tell when it’s already been heard around the world?  (sarcasm: I am NOT a snitch) ha.
Two biggest open secrets to be printed this summer:
1. [...]

Division in the church

I want to make a quick point that I know won’t reach many but at least I’ll feel somewhat better because it’s been said.
It’s a sad conclusion but it’s very much true, white members of the Church of Christ are taking a much different approach to CoC teaching than Black churches.
Seems to me that in [...]

Hurricane Dean

Apparently there is a threat to Houston due to Hurricane Dean forming in the tropics. What I’m trying to figure out is how I missed all the hype about the impending pounding Houston is about to have.  I’ve heard no one on my side of town (NW) say anything about preparing for a storm. But [...]

My Life Right Now

Not that anyone cares, but life seems to be picking up somewhat. I had another interview today. I’ll never give too much detail, I want to keep the job before I even get it. I feel pretty good about this interview. I’m hopeful.
School starts on the 27th of this month. Teachers won’t start taking some [...]

The Interview.

Went well I thought.
But I did not get the job.
I just sold my 30gb iPod video to pay for my electricity bill. Still need to get my camcorder out of the pawn shop before the 3rd of September.
Life is going…simply still going. Amen

Hypothetically Speaking Of Course

The Daily Background » Blog Archive » Idiot Judge somehow concludes gunman who “wanted to kill all blacks” is not racist

Okay, like all of the “hypothetical situations” I’ve ever brought up, this one isn’t hypothetical at all: it really happened, and some British judge concluded that the incident wasn’t “racially motivated.” The guy will be [...]

Common Myth #1: Black Folks Don’t Tip

Here is a glace into a conversation I had with my grandmother (Mable, R.I.P) when I was about 16-17 years old.
Grandmother: Where are ya’ll going this evening?
Me (and my cousins): Out to eat!
indirectly one of us says and I got just enough money to get what I want
Grandmother: You can’t eat out if you can’t [...]

Muslim Footbaths in college

I’m not a liberal and this doesn’t even remotely bother me.  Too many folks are making a much ado about nothing (notably Debbie Schlussel and Atlas Shrugs: MUSLIM FOOTBATHS: YOUR TAX $ AT WORK!)
Why this topic is even up for debate escapes me. Essentially what’s happening is that the University of Michigan-Dearborn will be installing [...]
