Kramer Calls Us Niggers.... but he's not racist.... And OJ is Psycho

In keeping with men doing dumb-ass things: The dude who played Kramer on Seinfeld, Michael Richards, apparently got mad during a stand up show because two guys were talking during his skit and began to scream out racial slurs. He called them niggers and then went on to say that 50 years ago, we would have had you f**** bent over with a fork up your ass...."

WTF?!? There is ABSOLUTELY NO justification for what was said by him. Those men could have gotten up and began to sing the damn theme from the Titanic in the middle of his act. That gives him no right to disrespect those men and the rest of us the way he did.

Watch the clip:




He then later apologizes and says that he was just mad that they were talking. He said he got frustrated and that he is not a racist. That's some bullshit. If it walks like a duck, sounds like a duck, then it must be a duck. If you're not racist, why would words like that come out of your mouth just because you got frustrated?? Hell, ask them to leave. Jank on them like other comedians do. But you don't go and say some shit like that.



And as I stated previously, being dumb does not discriminate. OJ Simpson's dumb ass wrote a book called "If I Did It". WTF?!??!?! You got off for the murder of the mother of your children. That ish happened 12 years ago. Why would you write a book called, "If I Did It, Here's How It Happened". Are you serious?????? I wish I could sit him down and interview him. Cuz I just really don't understand. That is some sick shit. Why even think of something like that. And screw publicity stunt. Thats is just sick and psycho. Dumb MuthaFcuker......

Who the Hell Am I?

Yesterday I was upset. And I can't really pin point why. The day started off bad. I get to work, and the vibe is bad. Towards the end of the day, my boss pisses me off to the point that I am shaking. I ended up staying at work and extra hour and then when I do get off, I get outside and my car wont start because someone left my lights on. I say it was my friend. She says it was me. I had to get a jump. So the car starts working. I come home and have a message from someone on the Lamebook. (don't ask me who, cuz its not important.) Just know that it added to the madness. My heart felt so heavy. The many deaths that have occurred this year were also on my mind. All of this was mixed up in my mind. I called my friend and I told her how heavy my heart was.

And I then began to cry.

I sobbed on the phone. And she just listened. Like a friend is supposed to do. It was the next best thing to crying on her shoulders since we live 12 hours apart...

I then realized how much I'm beginning to learn about myself. Prior to moving up here, I thought that I was OK with change. I always thought that i was the type of person who accepted and needed change. I see now that I was wrong. The uncertainty of life scares the hell out of me. I remember saying (in between sobs) how I wanted to go back to college where everything was laid out.

Being out of Alabama and the element that I lived in for almost 5 years has really allowed me to focus on me. I react to stimuli. I react to the things that bother me or force me to stop and take a look at myself. Its a scary thing when you think you know yourself, and come to find out that you have no clue who that person was 2 years ago.

God is doing some major renovations within my life right now. I can't wait for the finished product.....

Crazy Dreams Again..........

I'm dreaming again. They had honestly stopped. I guess since I didn't have to go to work and got to sleep past 6, my mind started wondering in my sleep. All I remember right now is that my co worker got off of work at twelve and because I didn't have to work, I told her that I would go over to her place when she got off. So, she gets off and me and her are walking to her house. And its a hike too! I have on house shoes because I always wear my house shoes to her house. Well, when we get there, I realize that I don't have my car and that I walked!! So I tell her to call her boyfriend to come get me and take me back home because I don't want to walk all the way to get my car. He is at work, so I have to walk home.

So I begin my long journey home. On the way, I get a little lost. But the neighborhood that I am walking through is soo familiar. It's my grandmother's neighborhood in Montgomery, AL. It's dark so I just want to get home. I cut across this one yard, and there are people watching a movie or something. They are college students. I tried to cut across another, but it was full of boys from UA and I looked a HOT MESS (house shoes, scarf on my head) so I didn't want to go. So I find this other yard to cut across. It has BARB wire all around it and I try to climb over it. My shoe get stuck! I am HANGING from the fence. (by the way, all of a sudden I have on white sneakers.....) I finally get free from the barb wire and suck it up and walk through the house with all the guys from UA (my Alma mater). When I get in there, I tried to walk quickly and hold my head down so that no one would notice me. But sure enough I get noticed. This guy named Mario that I haven't seen in 2 YEARS grabs me. We start talking and I am elated to see him. I then look at his hat. He has random pictures of people on it and I see my ex. I started looking at his shirt crazy and he was like, "whats wrong with you?" And before I could say, I turn and my ex is there, in the flesh. He is trying to say hi. He wasn't fat. He didn't look all old. And I think he was taller. It was weird.

So, I turn to him and I give him a hug. This part is fuzzy. We're talking and then he kisses me. Then, this fast, ghetto looking black girl comes up, grabs him and says. "you ready? lets do this.." They then proceed to go into a room. I looked at him and say, "You ain't got no girlfriend?" He replies, "I have my dogs." They then disappear into the room. CRAZINESS!!!! I continue my journey.

All of a sudden, I am in this neighborhood. I guess I made it home. No, I'm at a hamburger place, with the Ex. He orders his food and then I order mine. I told him that I needed a shelf for my room and he was like, "I can make you a shelf." So, that's why we were together, cuz he was gonna make me a shelf.
We get to a house, and we walk in and my friends Tiandra and someone else, maybe Tracey, are sitting at a table. We had our arms around one another, or were flirting when we walked in. He then stopped because he saw them. (At least I thought that was why.) We say a few words to them, and they have that "ummmm hmmm" look on their faces- like, I know what yall were doing....

Then, at the second table, who is sitting there? His girlfriend's friends! I just kinda stood back because I thought they had broken up. Remember, when I asked him he said, "I have my dogs." So he had words with them. They were whispering stuff that I couldn't hear. And then he left.

Next thing I know, I'm in the house alone, replaying in my head all that happened. It was so weird. But the dream doesn't end here. I'm in my house, and I look out the window and see this sigma named Joel in the next house. It was the house that me and the ex walked into when we saw my friends and his girl friend's friends. Joel was getting out the shower. And I thought it was weird because he was living with the ex's girlfriend.

Next thing, I'm with my friends. I don't remember why they had come. But they are there. The last thing that I remember happening is that Marcia gave me this number to call. I called it and I just started talking to the girl. Turns out that the girl is another girl named Tasha (who I don't like too much). I got off the phone, and I asked her what the point of that was. She just thought it was funny.... We then pulled up to Quail Valley and I woke up....

WHAT THE HELL?!?!? Any dream interpreters out there?!?!?

To Nikki

I've been MIA for a minute. But I'm back in action. Man, so many things have happened to me over the past week. Its so crazy. And they are all lessons learned. I have so far to go. You can never stop learning about life.
Do you ever stop and realize how blessed you are? I don't do it as often as I should. It doesn't occur to me until something tragic happens that makes me stop and think.

A student that I attended school with died over the weekend. The news of death is always shocking. But this one hit hard. And its because she was such a beautiful, lively, joyful, optimistic, giving person. She was so sweet. And it hurts me to no end to know that her family and close friends have to go through such a loss. Me and her weren't that close, but I feel the impact. And she had such a huge impact on everyone that she met. I used to look in my phone at this picture that I took of us in January and wonder how she was doing. Now I look at that picture and wish that I could CALL and see how she's doing. Please. Don't take life for granted. Don't take friendships and family for granted. Please. They are so precious. Tell the people you love that you love them. Make time for family! Don't reschedule. We don't know when God will decide to take us home. So, cherish the time that you have now. 10 months ago, had you told any of us that we would loose her, man.......

I think back to the times that she called to have lunch, and I was busy and would always reschedule. And now, I regret it. Life is crazy. Nikki, I'm so grateful to have had the chance to meet you. You touched me in January with your passion and compassion. I'll always remember that night you, me, eddie, and mike walked our dumb asses to that gas station and almost got arrested!!!! LOL! And the twister!! HAHA!! And "OBESE!!!!!!!"
We love you. And we will see you soon. Rest in Peace love.....

He Knocked ME Up Side My Head AGAIN!!! (maybe i'll listen this time)

So, just last night I wrote Romans 3:23. It just poured out. If you've been keeping up, then you know that I've been struggling with accepting the fact that this is where I'm supposed to be in my life right now. I'm angry because things aren't going MY way. I'm upset because I don't like the situation that I am in right now. I want to go back down south. I miss my friends. I miss my family. Blah Blah Blah. There is more, but I don't feel like putting myself out there like that tonight.

Anywho, I get on the LameBook and my old roomie had posted a note. She basically shared with us how the Lord came to her in a dream. She dreamed that she was with her boyfriend and some friends. Suddenly, vultures came and began to attack everyone. They then tried to attack her and her boyfriend shielded her body with his, trying to protect her. He then told her to go hide. She also mentioned that vultures only prey on "dead" things.

The next day, her boyfriend called her and told her that God told him that they couldn't be together. She was confused not only by this, but by her dream. She continued to ask God what her dream meant and He came to her and told her:

"So I continued to ask God about my dream. He said "D, how dare you!" "How dare you come to my door, knock, and it be opened. I give you all the desires of your heart and then you stop praising my name." "You asked me for an attractive, God-fearing man, who will understand you, accept you AND your son, love you unconditionally, etc and I give it to you and you get side tracked...how dare you." God is a jealous God! He told me what my dream meant. The vultures were preying on me not because I was dead but because my spirit was dead. Bobby was trying to protect me in my dream because that is what he was designed to do in the first place. He was directing me in the dream because that is what is supposed to happen. The man is the leader, and we must follow. Although that is a hard pill to swallow for some women, it MUST be done."

She goes on to say,
"Since God has given me a taste of what is for me, I will never make that mistake again. Nothing and no one can stop me from praising his name and walking in His light. When you don't know what to do, just stop, be still and listen. Ask God to come and get you from where you are, take you by the hand and show you what He wants you to do."

Although her situation is different, the message is the same. Don't put ANYTHING before God. He loves us so much and wants so much to provide for us. And when we don't praise Him like we should or get side tracked, He can and will take it all away. She also said,

"When God strips something out of you life, sometimes it is not permanent. Sometimes it is an eye opener to get you back on the right path towards Him. When things are not going according to YOUR plan, they are going according to God's plan."

God tells my hard headed self ALL THE TIME that He has this. He's constantly saying, "Tasha, I got this! Don't worry." But because I want my life to go the way I see it laid out in my head, I get discouraged. I'm listening Lord. I'm trying. Help me. I want to accept. I want to be patient. I want to go through whatever it is that I need to go through to get to where You are leading me.

Thank you Lord! And thanks D for that wonderful message.

ROMANS 3:23

I'm scared. Point blank.
I have no clue where my life is headed.
I need some direction.
I talk to God, but hear no response.
Am I listening too hard?
Maybe I'm not listening at all.
My faith is shattered. Sad, but true.
I was once protected by his grace
But now I feel abandoned and disgraced.
I know that I've done it all to myself.
Turning my back on Him is not gonna help.
I'm secluding myself from His word and His love.

Formed by my own tears, I drown in this sea.
It's deep, dark, and abysmal you see.
I've stopped asking for help.
Won't pray when I feel the need.
I'm living my life by my own terms.

I'm gonna die by this seed that I've planted in my heart.
It's growing in my body and overpowering my mind.
It causes me to hate life itself and all who aren't blind
To the realness of the Lord and what He can do.
I don't wanna die this way.
I want to kneel down and pray.
I want to be at peace.
I want this pain to cease.
There's a spiritual war going on within me.
I'm fighting God, myself, and the enemy.
I want God to win. I want Him to take control.
I want Him to hold me in His arms and bring peace to my soul.

These words do scare me.
Because they are true.
But I'm confessing to You now Lord.
I'm asking for your forgiveness.
Please shake the demons that haunt my mind.
With light flood the darkness that makes me blind.
Make me whole again.
Jesus!
Make me new.

Make me in the likeness of You.

If Home is Where the Heart is, then I Need to be in Alabama....

I'm reading "Dreams From My Father" by Barack Obama. I've been reading it since last Christmas. I started it and then put it down. Now, I'm back on it. For some reason, its hard for me to get through it. I dunno if its because he talks about politics or what. I was good when he was talking about growing up. But when he moves to Chicago, he looses me. The paragraphs are soooo loooonnnggg. But then, it picks up again. And then I'm ok. I'm taking a break right now. I can only take so much of that book all at once. But for some reason, the book does make me think....

I am haunted by my past. I'm haunted by a world that I knew for almost 5 years. 5 years may not seem like a long time to someone who has lived in the same place their entire life. But it is to me. Those 5 years were the years in which I came into my own as me. You see what I'm saying? I am who I am because of that place. And I think I'm haunted by it because I uprooted myself so quickly. One day I was there, surrounded by all of the things that I had known. And literally, the next day all of it was gone. And I really think its had a toll on me. I'm a bit jealous of everyone who is still there. They're continuing their lives. They are happy. They are surrounded by the people who love them and those they love. And don't get me wrong. I love my family. I love my mom, dad and brother and sisters. But they weren't around for ANY of those five years. They never came to visit. My mom rarely called me. And I only went home for Christmas. And that time was miserable for me. (Not to mention that the rest of my fam is also back in AL.....)

My family became my girls. We grew together and took care of one another. If any of us needed a thing, we were there. And its not merely a 'wanting to go and hang with my friends' again type thing. Those people really became my family. And I know this because I have gone through so much and they were there. They've always been there. I hardly ever called home. I did fine without my "blood" family all that time, why should I have to come and be with them now? I'm sad. I'm lonely. They say that college is just a phase in your life. And that the chapter is closed and that its time to move on. But you don't move on from people who are closer to you than your own mom or dad. It sounds harsh, but its the truth. I can't fully explain it all. It would take mountains of paragraphs. All I can say is that I wanna go back to my family. Home is where the heart is. And mine is definitely not here....

Stewie. Addictions.

The dreams had stopped for a minute. I'm thinking it was because I wasn't getting a lot of sleep. I've been staying up, trying to kick it, knowing that I have to be at work in the morning. I'm getting old. I can't hang like I used to.
Well, last night I went to sleep around 9:30. I tried to watch Grey's Anatomy. But that idea went right out the window..... Anywho- I dream that I am left with this baby. HOWEVER, the kid is like STEWIE!! There was this ghost hunting kit and he gets up, explains to me how it works, and then proceeds to use the kit. The lights were off. And when we turned on this special flash light, we could see the ghosts. It was freaky. I dunno.... Then I was in the car or something. A Sigma from my Alma Mater was in the dream. Along with a couple of other people. My friend Toni was in it too. The Sigmas were online and for some reason we(Greeks) were all there. We ended up at this house that was sitting on the cliff. And when you looked out the window, all you saw was, like, mountain. I dunno.. It was just all weird and random. Usually my dreams are extremely clear and they make sense. This one was just all over the place...


I'm so glad its Friday. Its been a long week. On a side note!!!! (random thought by me): I just tried to log into Facebook and they told me I couldn't get in! Ain't that some ish???? I don't need to be on the LameBook anyways....

People are being treated for Internet addictions. That is crazy. Well, quietly it isn't that crazy. My freshman year of college, I was ALWAYS on the computer. My friends used to call me a hacker. Seriously. I loved my computer. I treated her, yes its a her, like a pet. But thankfully I grew out of that. I still like to get online though. I just like web design and stuff. Thats all! But I can see how people can become addicted to it and use the Internet as an escape from the real world. Some people use drugs. Some people use alcohol. I use music and books. When things aren't going right, or I want to tune out everyone else, I grab my IPOD and a book and I go far, far away from here. Which is what I feel like doing right now. Time to go to "Tasha Land". Holla at ya later!
