You are on my mind, you are in my heart and you remain in my prayers.

You will fight this because you are a survivor, when you wake from the anesthesia i will be there.

We care, we fight, we hope and you will SURVIVE!

I did not think i lived in a safe neighborhood until this weekend. I opened my car to get something out of it and did not close the door. I don't mean lock i mean i left the door ajar. 24 hours later, the driver's door was still open everything intact save for the rain that had poured the previous night.

Two things came to mind, there were cars packed on each side of my own didn't any of those drivers feel the need to shut my door? Kinda weird. Well i feel safer now- granted, there was nothing of value in the car and its not one of those cars that you want to serve time for-it's just not worth it.

Enjoy the week that is.

How is it you cannot drink until you're 21 but can marry at 18?

Are we saying drinking requires more responsibility than marriage does......

Mother-in-Law

2009-06-03T08:24:00.000-07:00

A friend's husband walked out on her and the kids. She is ably handling this with the help of family and friends. However, he left his mother in his matrimonial home. He has since not communicated with his wife nor the kids.

My friend wants his mother out of her house. In fact she's looking to move and does not want her tagging along. Advise?

Judge Sotomayor

2009-05-27T12:33:00.000-07:00

The long awaited nomination to the supreme court by Obama is finally here. Judge Sotomayor. The republicans could not wait to start bashing this one. Rush (BTW is he the republican spokesman?) calls her a reverse racist-whatever that means.

Her critics say she's not the most qualified even in the Hispanic judicial circles. I don't care-is she qualified enough to serve in the supreme court? Yes. Have the 150 plus opinions that she has written support her as a moderate as opposed to a radical? Read Left wing (for the republicans) Yes. Should her credentials be vetted-or course. This is a nomination if confirmed will last beyond Obama's presidency. Vet her yes but do not critisise her for being a woman, a Hispanic or one who supports the rights of the minority. Does being empathic automatically disqualify her? C'mon guys she's human not a robot.

May i remind republicans that her nomination to the district supreme court in NY was by George H.W.Bush so spare us the rhetoric and go ahead and do what we all know you will do-Confirm her for failing to do so will cost you the Latino not to mention the women vote which you so desperately need.

Barca...do me proud!

Bad hair day

2009-05-19T13:34:00.000-07:00

Allow me to use the cliche 'bad hair day' cause that is what am going thru'. Don't get me wrong i have the time and money to do my hair but i just don't know what to do. Sometimes it's not as easy as walking into the salon and getting it done. It's not knowing whatto do once you are in there. So to save everyone's time and hoping that you come up with a solution, you go around with hideous hair.

babies...

2009-05-19T13:13:00.000-07:00

Recently a good friend had a baby and my maternal instincts kicked in (i did not believe they existed @least not for me) It got me thinking, why all of a sudden? After all she's one among many of my friends to have a baby.

Is there an appropriate age to have a child? They say the risks are higher with delayed motherhood but what if the opportune time to have the lil brats is when am 45 WTF happens then? Do i deny myself the chance at motherhood or do i stride graciously into it understanding full well the risks involved and hoping that all goes well?

Mungiki

2009-04-21T13:30:00.000-07:00

The recent killing in cold blood of 24 Kenyans by the outlawed mungiki sect is sad, unexplainable, unjustified and outright wrong. The mungiki are justifying this massacre with the killing of their own some days ago. Where is the police? Is this a nation that has gone to the dogs? Are we facing anarchy? I beg to differ. Ours is a govt.that has failed it's people.

A government's mandate among many other things is to protect her citizens. This Govt.and many before it has failed and continues to do so. Is a country as good as it's leaders? I do not believe that Kenya is in anarchy despite us taking the Law into our own hands more than once. I do however view it as a precursor to an uncontrolled society-God forbid. I hear all the time that mungiki is an outlawed sect, why then do they continue to terrorize the rest of us?

I have argued over time that mungiki is predictable. You attack one of their own they sure as hell will retaliate (as if it is a right) Shouldn't the govt.have watched out for the signs? You bet. You would think security would have been beefed up in this area and it's environs? Granted, there was no way to know where they would have staged their attack-they were going to anyway.

Ponder this for a moment. Why did the residents of Gathaithi, Nyeri choose to take matters into their own hands? Is it their frustration with this govt.? Is it justified? Are we supposed to regroup and form vigilantes against each other? Are we not still healing the wounds of the violence that rocked Kenya 07-2008.

My condolences go out to the bereaved families.

Stay safe.

Walking about and spitting is a bad habit, actually it is disgusting. I saw this chic spit and its like she had something else to accompany the spit it was so disgusting that i struggled to swallow my coke...this should be done in the privacy of one's house and at least in the absence of your relatives or roommates unless of course they subscribe to like mannerisms.

Shoe Throwing

2009-04-09T14:50:00.000-07:00

You would think this is redundant-A journalist throwing a shoe at a minister in India.
It was funny when Bush ducked it (how well he did that) not anymore. Makes you think it was probably the best thing he did while in office.

A few questions,
1. Do you then go and get your shoe back or does one bring more than a pair?
2. What if you are taken in by authorities (read dragged) is it not embarasing when you have one shoe on and probably torn socks?

Happy Easter y'all.

Domestic violence.

They say that when it's raining and the sun is out the devil is beating his wife.

I don't know how much she pisses him out, but he does seem to beat her a lot-don't get me wrong there is no justification to wife beating.

Am driving thru' a gas station, well not exactly i was there to gas up.

The usual motions-swipe card, hit grade and alas! Wrong grade, was not hoping to pay for the most expensive gas available. If my car were human, i would have been a recipient of a bear hug and a million kisses.

So the other evening am hoping to enjoy a glass of wine from my usual, boy was the drink sobering.......i might as well have had cranberry or strawberry juice if i wanted a red drink.

Back to my usual wine-you know what they say, better the devil you know than the angel you don't!
