Friends and Family

Pick One. I know there are a lot of supposedly hip parents who think they can be one of the gang with their child and his or her friends. Well you can do that to a certain extent. But there will come a time when you are going to need your child's respect and obedience not his friendship. And if you... Sign in to see full entry.

Time Off

I am really looking forward to having MLK Day off. I worked both holidays and while I appreciate the extra pay the part of me that is still tired wishes I had taken those days off. I have a couple days vacation at the end of the month. I am hoping some friends will be having a Mardi Gras party on... Sign in to see full entry.

Next Year

Well LSU won. Any national championship won is well earned. The Buckeyes will have to come back and take the title next year. Maybe UT will have their act together so we can face them next January. If we can beat the Buckeye's at nationals I'll even buy a championship hat. My friends Doug and Kellie... Sign in to see full entry.

Decreases in business...attrition...austerity

I was talking with a friend who works for the USPS. It seems they are feeling a loss in business like many other sectors. They're not taking in as much mail. They're not shipping or delivering as many packages. As a result when people leave they aren't replaced. This is causing increases in overtime... Sign in to see full entry.

Guardian Angel

I was 6 years old and a first grader. This may have happened during lunch maybe not. I remember there were kids out in the hallway from several of the classrooms. I wandered down the hall a few rooms in front of one of the 2nd grade classes and stopped, looking around. There was a boy who was bigger... Sign in to see full entry.

Lesson Learned

Sunday's liturgy was moved up 30min. to 10am because of the type of liturgy it was and the fact that our bishop was in town. So I showed up at 10:40, which normally would have made me only 10min. late. Well his grace was giving the sermon so I didn't enter the sanctuary but stayed in the foyer. Then...

The Straw Imam

Okay. Here's what we're going to do. Starting Monday 7 Jan. 2008, we're going to buy up all the grocery store tabloid companies. Then we're going to have the staffs of those books pore over the internet and take all the copy of stuff said about Sen. Obama and edit each item into its own news story...

African Cultural Identity in American Life

I don't expect many non-blacks to understand this. I am not sure many outside our race have the capacity to understand it. Some things are best understood by the people who are enduring them. We are part of the African diaspora. And we're trying in different ways to identify with and piece together... Sign in to see full entry.

And the 2008 Best Comeback Award Goes To...

My buddy Tim. When I told him some of the things I wanted to avoid in my next relationship, like not dealing with excessive criticism, he said, "Raymond you must want a dead woman." Then he said, "Go down to the porno store and buy yourself a blowup doll. 'Cause when you're in a relationship with a... Sign in to see full entry.

Be careful. Those Pedrofiles are out there...

I just got a spam message in my inbox with the word "pedrofilia" in the subject line. I always find it humorous when I see one of these barely disguised attempts to get around the spam catcher. A while back it was a message offering me help with my P-E-N-ONE-S issues, except it was all one word and... Sign in to see full entry.
