Minor Thoughts #1

It's been a little while since the last time I posted a blog. If you've read my work on MySpace, or some time ago on Facebook then you know I try to hit you with a little real, every now and then. I'd like to think of myself as a deep thinker, and hopefully I can give you something to think about. Hopefully I can use this website as a way of gettin' out my thoughts in a way that grabs my readers, and future readers attention. A psychology student, and an aspiring author, I'm hopin' that the more I write, the better I'll write. While I won't ask for comments, you have a right to one, and I'm open to criticism. So, let's get started . . .



Alright, I wanna start off with another congratulations to our new President-Elect Barack Obama. This means a lot to me for several reasons. He's more than a black president, its one of a very few presidents to win the white house on the basis of change. Change that we need, and hopefully change that is more than just a slogan. Also, if you look at his backstory, where he comes from, how he was raised, and the situations he has overcome, he gives me a lot of hope. I believe that if a mixed senator from Chicago, raised in Hawaii, with a father from Kenya can become the President of the United States, the most powerful man of the free world, then I feel like I can do anything. And I don't mean that in a rule-breakin', revenge takin', black power type of anything, but I mean anything I set my mind to. Any successes I thrive hard enough for, can be mine if I work hard enough. This road for President Obama was not easy, not easy at all. And I know things won't be easy for me either. I'm not one to get feelings about things like this, but I am actually proud of the man, I'm proud to be black, I'm proud that I was able to help make history with my vote, and help open doors that were barricaded for us all, until now.


In entertainment news, I wanna start off with some Beyonce' talk. I mean, she is makin' a lot of moves and obviously knows what it takes to stay on top. I can't be mad. I can only be happy for anyone who's not sittin' around complainin' about chances not taken, opportunities missed, and usin' excuses. Anyhow, the new cd droppin' today and I'm sure all the girls, and "single ladies" on they way to cop it soon as it touch the shelves. Me, I may give it a listen if my girls picks it up. I gotta say that she is talkin' to a group of people, and thats evident. Her songs are like women empowerment, and I don't see a thing wrong with that. Its just not what I choose to listen. I wish her all success on the album, and hope that she hits yall with something new, and something yall can bump for years to come. On a downside, I heard that girlie was fightin' for the role of Wonder Woman. Sayin' its time for Wonder Woman to be black, she wants to do a hero movie at the height of their popularity. I personally, think this is a horrible idea. I'd never wish failure on anyone, but I sincerely hope she does not get this role. I mean, 2 reasons: she's not a ground-breakin' performer in front of the camera like that, and Wonder Woman is not black! We got Green Lantern, We got Luke Cage, and we have Bishop and Storm from X-Men, they are all fine. Not everything has to "go black" just because our president is. Changin' Wonder Woman changes everything about the character and deviates away from how it was originally written. I can't support her on this one. Sorry B.


I'll stop for right now, and hit yall up maybe later, or just catch you tomorrow. Hope you enjoyed my little rant, and maybe now a discussion can start amongst you and your friends. Enjoy the day and remember, don't be a failure. That simple.
