This is one F'd up life!

What would be your career path if you had the opportunity to go back and change the path you're on? For me I would definitely go straight to college with a more focused mindset and stick with my original plans and not let outside influences steer me in the wrong direction.

Getting a degree in a better field such as Communications, film, arts, etc something creative and something that I could use. Attending a school I could afford and benefit from.

Working for someone else, working towards a goal that's not yours, working in a field you have no passion for equals a 'living suicide'. Everyday that you wake up to just earn a paycheck. With no desire to excel, living off of your earnings paycheck to paycheck. What kind of life is that?

Creating a life of responsibilities that you can't provide for, only to struggle day after day. You've never asked yourself what's the point? Why do you even try? You're going to die on a paycheck to paycheck life, with probably no life insurance, because you barely had health and dental. No savings account, no investments, no 401k you're waiting on that pocket change our government calls social security.

And again I ask you for what? Just to say you lived a life, one that you will die from because you struggled and stressed until your death finally became a physical one because mentally you're already gone, dead and buried, walking in a dead zone only to wake up and repeat. Never progressing.

Damn that's a sad life. I think in the end I rather not have and struggle for. I rather just be. Just because there's no point of doing and still struggling. I mean to think that's a life sentence if you have no other plans and ventures. ‪#‎smdh‬

A Writer's Journey- Is it really a dog eat dog world?

"It's often said that everyone has a novel inside of them and in most cases that's where it should stay"     A comment posted after reading probably my last article on "The Guardian" website. Most of the comments are negative and posted by other so called 'proclaimed writers' whom has a knack for going straight for the juggler when offering what I assume to be constructive criticism-yeah right.  

"Have you read this crap?" Per a comment left on an article discussing Amanda Hocking's success as a self published writer.  

These comments appear to be a review of the article and or the author mentioned. Articles discussing writers whom has by the way become a success despite their struggles to complete a writing project with restless nights of late night writing, completed projects then rejection letter after rejection letter to countless literary agents and or publishers yet to have found their success at getting published through self publishing.   The comments lack class whereas the posters seem bitter and can you say jealous much? It's sad that some get a kick out of stomping on a dream.

To think that artists such as writers would be supporting one another especially when reading on any level should be appreciated. Hello...hence the take over of reality tv as being one's choice of entertainment vs picking up a book to read.  

Sometimes I get discouraged reading negative comments flooding the sites like 'The Guardian' a site that I thought was for writers.  A site that offer ways to getting published, information on marketing your book and success stories of writers and authors such as the one mentioned above.  

Having written only a few short stories and screenplays for review and contests I have stories to tell and I'm going to tell them. Becoming a success story or not I love to write. I'm not going to let bitter writers, and or those negative people who like stomping on a dream keep me from accomplishing what I want to do in life which is--WRITE.   Every writer's story won't be a tale every reader wants to read.  Every writer won't be a Pulitzer prize-winning author. That's the upside to writing because somewhere out there someone will enjoy your story. Would it matter that it didn't result in a book deal? Became a self published success?   Realizing that I'm going to take on the mentality of-- Write for you and if they love it or hate it, you would have accomplished something others could never imagine doing.    

Wait, What, Wake the Hell Up

You're still blinded by the bias news feed of the media. When are you going to wake up to the fact that you're being fed the bits and pieces of ish they only allow you to know about. They want you to react to the stories they put out there, the hyped up stories you see on their local news feed? How else would you have known about it?? It's so sad that they are brainwashing you and you don't even know it. They want you to appear ignorant to society as if you're playing the race card and couldn't care less about the crimes being committed in your own back yard and just think what spin do they put on those stories? Are there hash tags that gets remembered when posting about stopping the violence against each other? If they don't care it doesn't matter if you do unless it's new news that they can spin a tale on rev it up so their ratings can spike...Duh black on black crime has been happening for how long? It's become a norm and we've allowed it to go unnoticed that we don't give a shit however in reality if you took a closer look you would see how misinformed you are. The many organizations formed by us to reach out to those in our communities speaks volumes but go unheard because the only news feed you're paying attention to is the bias news feed that doesn't want us to know that we care, and that we're alot more than always playing the race card. Stop feeding into the negatives and only post the positives! Spread the word and make it known that you give a shit about the violence in your community. ‪#‎wakethehellup‬

LET'S WAKE THE HELL UP

People are killing me with this everyone's hyped up about a white man killing a black boy as if we don't get upset about it per when it's just us no race card being played? ?? Why would the media exploit the black community coming together to fight back against violence amongst ourselves when their jobs has been to make us look IGNORANT and portray us as black people who aren't educated and rely on playing the race card? ?? I'm a part of the quiet riot movement...an activist who spends time on speaking out to those on message boards etc to join this movement to rise up. I've shared postings etc we're thinking of ways to spread the word in other avenues so yes it pisses me off when I see the BS as if we're not taking a stand. Wake up and take action and stop taking on the job to making assumptions that our outcry only starts when a black boy is murdered by a white man. ‪#‎smdh‬‪#‎iamnotblackpeople‬ I am an individual who walks her own path.

Decisions Decisions Decisions Syria and America's response

When Hitler had Jews in concentration camps etc with plans to take over the world and America did nothing in the beginning to stop what was going on Americans marched and held rallies why aren't we helping? Was it until it actually hit American soil that America took a stand? Syria civilians are being poisoned, chemical weapons are being used per evidence and now we should do nothing...its a win lose situation with Americans you're never happy... it is what it is you can't be Allies and just do nothing... Did America drop the bomb on Hiroshima because of the war or because of revenge per the attack on Pearl Harbor? Should we wait for something to happen to America first and then say...ok let's go... because we are ignorant to reality of how easy it is for a country to be taken over...considering majority of Americans are naive to being the most superior we aren't thinking like these other countries. They are building weapons of mass destruction...for a reason! Just like America...America isn't the only one thinking ahead of the game. It's just like watching a bully at work and do nothing about it until they start messing with you then you want to take action and take the credit. Some of us should have gotten political science degrees so we could actually use our uneducated, biased opinions and put them to good use...or not. Decisions Decisions Decisions...making the wrong decision at this point could seal our fate and that can go either way.

Sugar Daddies, Wealthy Men, white men, black men, women don't want a broke man DUH

Wow ! Unbelievable.. My friend Emily has just married to a handsome wealthy passionate man They met through ~ŔichWoo.Ćoм~~ The largest dating site for meeting with successful wealthy guys and classy women (athletes,doctors,CEOs,models,lawyers,celebrities,etc….) ........ Sugar Daddy.com-Let the DREAM become REALITY. We are the #1 site that connects successful men and beautiful women! Black women were raised on a different scale than non black women. Out of 76.1 million children, 24 million are living in Father -Absent Homes. Throughout history regarding African American's successful parents weren't the 'norm' therefore black women are more adaptive to dating men that aren't successful. They are raised to settle for a good man not a successful man. If you can find a man that will stay with you and be faithful then he's a good man. On the other side of that fence you have a different perceptive of what is a 'good' man. Successful non black families are raising children with families where both parents are successful and or the father is the bread winner and the mother is a stay at home mom raising the kids. Their kids grow up with the ideal image of what they were raised to believe is the 'norm' and this is what they seek in their own relationships. Watching 'Mona Lisa Smile' is when I noticed the difference of who I was as an individual and what I considered the norm. These young white women in college were in school to seek out the 'alpha males'. The young men that would be college educated and become successful, wealthy men. The women though educated would be stay at home moms raising 'his' kids and taking care of his household while he brought home the 'bacon'. Known fact? Yes.... just look around, how many black women are married? How many black women are single mothers raising kids that are fathered by different men. We've settled for what we've always considered to be the 'norm' the good guy that didn't have to have a college education, as long as he had a job or was trying to find one. We didn't wait around to make babies until a ring was placed on our fingers, have you ever wondered why that was? Have you ever asked yourself why am I settling? Now when a black man becomes successful he feels that he needs the entire package. Are black women on the top of that list of 'potential mates'? Now we have sites and blogs about: Behind Every Rich Black Man There’s A White Woman!!! Black men are more than twice as likely as black women to marry someone outside their race. Why so many successful black men covet the attention of white women or Light skinned women Rapper Wacka Flocka Flame Claims That BLACK WOMEN Are OUT OF STYLE . . . And It's WHITE WOMEN That Are POPPIN RIGHT NOW!!! Really? Well I like the blogs like: New Report Says That BLACK MEN Who Marry White Women Are HEADED FOR DIVORCE . . . And Black Women Who Marry WHITE MEN . . . Have STRONGER MARRIAGES!!! Reader Sound Off: Ten Reasons Black Women Prefer White Men Down With The Swirl: 10 Successful White Men With Black Women By Their Sides We want more...We want more! Yes we should want more from our relationships rather than settle for 'whatever' because its convenient. As for Black women we should definitely be seeking the well to do all around kind of gentleman. The college educated and or street smarts business man who knows the value of a dollar will work hard at achieving success on (legal) level. Someone who will value us as women and can see us on the top of their list as potential mates. We should not be drugged over the social media board as 'dating pariah's' or to be put out by successful black men that consider us to be 'out of style'. Seek success-in meaning seek a partner that has goals and a solid foundation of how to reach those goals. Build a long lasting relationship that involves every aspect of a successful one TOGETHER. Think of: "Put a ring on it' before pushing out any more of his children. Forget about him if he considers desiring a successful and well established man to be a 'gold digger'. Bottom line: STOP SETTLING Because we're worth so much more and its about time that the world began to realize that.

Racial profiling or playing the race card

The media made this a racial issue from day one. This is the cause and or reason why we are aware that people on a national scale cares. I've raised my voice on many issues within my community regardless of race these are issues that we face as a society every day. A young girl shot in her home during a drive by and we know someone from that neighborhood did it but why isn't that issue on the news everyday? Why aren't we made aware on the updates of cases such as this?  A young man shoots a child in the face why isn't that the issue on the news every day? Women, men and children from all over the world go missing everyday but a woman who fled before her wedding makes national news? Lets think logically, would you be aware of any issues whether it's a high level crime story and or missing person case if the media didn't put it out there and glamorize it to make it appear to be more than what it is. Its unfortunate that this is what society with the help of the media wants everyone to believe- That we as 'blacks' play the race card. I've contacted my local news and CNN etc about issues that just don't make a story they can run and spin to their advantage. Trayvon Martin and Jordan Davis: two young black males gunned down by non black men crying self defense, why? Because they can get away with it. Jordan Davis shot multiple times by Michael David Dunn out of fear. His story like Zimmerman's has changed quite a few times since being arrested. Out of fear on what he presumed was a gun being pointed at him in one response, the other was it appeared that one of the person's in the vehicle was reaching down to retrieve what he could only believe was a gun, so he takes out a gun shoots up the vehicle leave the scene and is now claiming he did it out of protecting himself. There were no weapons of any kind found in the vehicle and or on any of the victims yet the media tried their best to immediately go after what kind of kid Davis was, why is that? They want to label Davis as a disruptive teen because aren't all young black males 'thugs'? The shooters in these cases are pulling the race card because they know how society looks at young black males. Young black males are immediately viewed to society as violent, soon to be locked up degenerates. "They are treated as criminals until proved other wise by our society". Due to the positive comments and history on what type of kid Jordan Davis was, I am curious to find out what will Dunn's defense team come up with to defend their client's actions. They have already stated they will run with the 'self defense and or 'Stand your ground' law. A law that has made a point of defending those that provokes violence out of fear; then cries for the self defense plea to get them an out of jail free card for crimes they have committed. Not denying that black on black crime has become a major issue in our communities. Any crime committed should never be accepted regardless of the race of the individuals involved. With that being said, there is a difference of the level of emotions that are felt amongst "blacks" when a crime is committed whereas the victim is put on display and outcast by society as a 'thug' and the suspect labeled as a victim pleads self defense and his word is taken for it. No evidence, just his word. Maybe as a whole "blacks" come together to stand united when it becomes a trend that we can be shot to death because the color of our skin is an automatic reason for an assailant to plead self defense. Our tweet history along with our text messages not related to the crime committed can be used against us.  Our behavior in school can determine who we are and be used against us yet actual criminal charges and arrest records of the defendent is swept under the rug? (ZIMMERMAN'S 2005 ARREST) And society says that's good enough.  Society says that's justice.  With the racial slurs being tweeted and posted on Facebook it would clearly justify why the 'race card' may be taken into consideration, when crimes such as these are committed. The race card is played, when the victim becomes the suspect due to being labeled as a criminal and died because of that stereotype.
