My Last Good Nerve!


I wish I had enough time to write a blog everytime I had something on my mind. But there is just not enough hours in the day. Well since the last time we were together, so much has been going on. I tell you folks the truth, I got one good nerve left and it is being plucked at on a daily basis. Now I don't mean your everyday stuff, like being cut off in traffic, although that does tend to be a nerve plucker...I am talking about things on a much bigger scale here. Oh yeah and I am gonna tell you about it because maybe these things have been plucking at your nerves too. So rather than keep you in suspense...I will share these things with you.

Nerve Plucker #6. Guess what yall? Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes got married! How could you not know this? I am so tired of hearing about them. Now it is not their fault but the tv puts this stuff in your face. Like the lady on ET said "The world wants to know what Katie's dress looked like." No the world doesn't. I bet there are some dying men and women in Darfar, who could give a rat's fat hat about Katie's dress. I can think of one Easterbaby who really didn't care either. Oh and what really got on my nerves...the TV guide channel. Now I love watching the TV guide channel, you know to see what is coming on tv. But every since that wedding, they are playing this TWO HOUR SPECIAL repeat about Tom and Katie. And then they follow up the TWO HOUR SPECIAL with a Tom Cruise Special. I can't even enjoy the scrolling TV list. So now I just have to flip until I see something interesting. Gimme a break!

Nerve Plucker #5. How do you spell IDIOT? I think it is spelled O.J. as in O.J. Simpson. Now I can't say whether or not he did it, cause I wasn't there but I can say that he is one of the most ridiculous people on the planet. And the people who helped him write this hypothetical book are about as idiotic as he is. I mean, does he not care about his children's feelings at all? Since he is trying to convince us he knows HOW to kill people without actually doing it, why don't we send him to IRAQ and let some poor tired soldier come home to kids he cares about.

Nerve Plucker #4. How dumb are these internet child predators? First off, how dumb do you have to be to drive hours to someone's house in hope of scoring with a child. The child says "the doors open, come on in?" And you go in. And then some of these guys, say "I have seen this program on TV". But yet you still go through with it? What is wrong with this? And as much as I enjoy seeing these guys go down, I am still trying to figure out why Mark Foley wasn't arrested. I mean he did the exact same thing as these low lifes on TV but they get jail and he gets rehab. Can we say double standard? If you have money and power, you get to use a childhood trama or alcohol to excuse wrong behavior. I bet 75% of those other guys had drug, alcohol, etc problems but they still went to jail.

Nerve Plucker #3. Rosie ODonnell plucks my nerves. Did yall see her little tiff with Kelly Ripa? Clay Aiken put his hands over Kelly's mouth and she told Clay Aiken not to do that cause she didn't know where his hands had been. So Rosie "Needs Jesus" ODonnell accused Kelly of making a homophobic remark. HELLO, who wants somebody to put their hands over their mouths. And Clay never told anybody he played for the other team...yeah I know, what you are thinking. But truth be told...he never said it...so we have to say he is innocent until proven guilty. Anyway, Rosie also said that radical Christians are no better than terriorists...WHAT?! What is a radical Christian? And furthermore, if you are a terrorist, you aren't a Christian. How does that saying go..."everybody talkin' bout heaven ain't going there!"

Nerve Plucker #2. Raise your hand if your didn't see the Michael Richards video. Ok, let me first say I was not suprised at what he said but I am surprised that he said it OUT LOUD in PUBLIC! But what did it for me was this statement on David Letterman, "I am not a racist". Oh yeah? Michael, you are a racist. Now admit it and get help. And this whole "let me go see if Jesse Jackson can help me" was such garbage. First off, I love Jesse but Jesse doesn't speak for all black people and he can't tell me and no other African American how to feel. If Jesse said, "Sherry, you know Michael is not a racist", I'd say, "Rev. Jackson, yes he is" and then me and the Reverend would share some WORD. Cause I would pull out this verse from Luke...

Luke 6:45
45The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks.


Nerve Plucker #1. This war, this government (all of 'em...I am multi-partisan in my nerve pluckedness) is plucking my nerves. Now they want to reinstate the draft. So if we are winning, then why do we need MORE soldiers? If we are winning, why was Donald Rumsfield fired? I mean that is like the Colts firing Tony Dungy. It would make no sense. I don't buy any of it. And if I have to hear Condi lie one more time...she really plucks my nerves. She had the NERVE to say in her interview with Essence magazine, that people should be punished for talking bad about GWB. WHAT?! I bet Babs Bush talks bad about GWB every now and then. They are husband and wife after all.


Thanks blog readers for indulging me. My poor nerve. Ain't no telling what will be left by the time I write the December blog..but I will hang in there if you will!

Hurricane Katrina

I am always in awe of the strength and damage caused by hurricanes. And it seems Katrina has left her mark on the southeastern USA. My heart certainly goes out to the people in LA, MS, and AL. I can only imagne based on the images on the news as to the devestation caused. Of course being who I am, I always find things to ponder or contemplate on in every situation and Hurricane Katrina is no different. Therefore, there are a few things that come to my mind as I watch her fury from the comfort of my warm dry home... 1. Who decides who gets to be the news journalist who has to report on the hurricane while standing in the hurricane? Do they draw straws? Do they pick on the rookies? Have you guys ever watch these folks? They are being blown all over the place but three things remain constant - (1) They will have one hand on the mic and the other trying to keep the hood of their rain jackets from blowing off. These folks are yelling in the mic "The winds are very strong..." NO KI...

Happy Birthday to Me!

This picture was taken at my 5th birthday. You can't see it but my cake was a big pink Easterbunny! An easterbunny for the easterbaby! From the looks of things, I have always enjoyed birthdays and 30 years later is no different. And to kick off my 35th birthday blog party, I decided to try a new look for the blog. I hope you like it! Well Readers, April 11 is a CELEBRATION of the Lord's grace and mercy for 35 years of my life. In commemoration of my birthday, I would like for you to join me in a walk down memory lane of the last 35 years of my life with a few SHOUT OUTS! Over the years, I have had many people come in and out of my life. Now if you are reading this blog, it means you are not OUT but still IN my life. So don't get mad if you don't get a shout out cause obviously you are still important to me. No, this shout out is for those who I will no doubt never see again (and in some cases, that is a good thing.) We all know that people, no matter whether it is good ...

Tribute to the Redbone

I know some of you are wondering where I am going with this blog. Well hang in there with me for a moment and you will see. For those of you unfamiliar with the term "redbone", it is a term which is less than complimentary used to describe beautiful black people of lighter complexion . I am not sure of the origins but I can bet that it probably has origins from slavery. And I will also bet that most derogatory terms we use come from the plantation. Unless you live under a rock, I know you have heard about the Don Imus incident. No, I am not here to re-hash it all but I wouldn't be my opinionated self, if I didn't mention it before I make my point. First of all, while I don't agree with the derogatory messages in Hip Hop, I do not think Hip Hop music had anything to do with Don Imus's comments. He said what was in his heart and directed to a specific group of women. Also, I wasn't necessarily taken back by the "nappyhead" comment cause well, truth...
