Too much baby, too little concern

There are too many people making too many babies in this world. I'm someone who has no children and wouldn't want to have any at my age. I have a nephew who is pretty much a carbon copy of myself (which is scary for him) and love dearly. The point is that I see so many other couples, women, men with... Sign in to see full entry.

Does the Minority Experience make a person bitter?

Sometimes I get the feeling that everyone who is a minority in America has a bitterness to them. An underlying feeling of angst, sometimes at white people, other times at themselves. I can hear it when I talk with other folks. I can see it in thier clenched teeth when they talk about their... Sign in to see full entry.

When people are more mixed

It seems like I'm meeting more and more people that are of mixed origins today. I see women that are a mixture of white and hispanic, I see all colors of the rainbow converging upon a handfull of people in this great nation. The problem with this situation is that there are still places in America... Sign in to see full entry.

Blogging for fear

There are so many things to fear in our crazy society. There's the black men and the white men and men in general. There's the fact that child molestors have to be registered as sex offenders and be punished, even after they serve their debt to society. Yet, they are afraid. When the damage is done,...

Which country has the most sexual people?

Is it Italy with their sense of fashion and their tradition of wild orgies? Remeber lA Dolce Vita? I never saw the whole movie but heard about the... Sign in to see full entry.

A colored womans perspective

I had an interesting discussion with my girlfriend about the state of the "white" nation. Sometimes we have a mutual racism that's agumented by our experiences in this society as people of color. She claims that whites are scared because they will soon be the "minority". This actually is a true... Sign in to see full entry.

Excuses for incompetence

I went to start a business account today at my bank and it seems that chaos ensued. The woman who was supposed to handle the business accounts wasn't there and NO ONE ELSE knew anything about it. The woman who I ended up with said that there is something wrong with my certificate because the... Sign in to see full entry.

Few minorities in bookstores

Ok, I'll admit that I'm in a place that is overwhelmingly white but that doesn't mean that I have to be the only one here who's a bit tinted. I've been going to bookstores now for quite some time and the thing that I notice is that they are mostly a white crowd. The chicks that I'm attracted to... Sign in to see full entry.

The reason medications are so damn expensive is because

the healthcare industy hasn't computerized their system yet. I went to a pharmacy today and tried to get a prescription which I did online. The lady there told me that it was at another store in their network. When I went to that store, they told me it was at the first store. So, a little miffed, I... Sign in to see full entry.
