While driving to work today, this song came on. It’s called “Wake up everybody” by Harold Melvin and the Blue notes”. Believe it or not, this is an oldie, but still a goodie. Now more then ever, these lyrics make so much sense. We all need to wake up a bit. All of us.
Till next time….
Wake up everybody no more sleepin in bed
No more backward thinkin time for thinkin ahead
The world has changed so very much
From what it used to be so
there is so much hatred war an' poverty
Wake up all the teachers time to teach a new way
Maybe then they'll listen to whatcha have to say
Cause they're the ones who's coming up and the world is in their hands
when you teach the children teach em the very best you can.
Chorus
The world won't get no better if we just let it be
The world won't get no better we gotta change it yeah, just you and me.
Wake up all the doctors make the ol' people well
They're the ones who suffer an' who catch all the hell
But they don't have so very long before the Judgement Day
So won'tcha make them happy before they pass away.
Wake up all the builders time to build a new land
I know we can do it if we all lend a hand

Get paid to blog
All righty folks. About a month ago, I got my first check as a writer. By that I mean that I got paid to write for the first time in my life. How you ask? Easy, I signed up with this company called “Gajillion.com”. (click on the link)
What they are is a company that realizes the power of bloggers. They know we hold weight with our words. Hence, they use us to get the word out there for their products. This simply means you are given a product to try and then you write a review on it. Moreover, here is the process for which they go by; they set you up with an “Encounter link” that you place in your blog for your readers to click. Now each click generates .15 cents for you. Not bad, considering that “Google” does something similar called “Ad Sense” in which they place an ad in your blog and you generate .10 cents per click.
With this company, you get a whole nickel more than with “Google”. You can also reject any job that is tossed your way. Translations, no obligation makes this a kool gig. I mean for just trying something out, and writing a review on it, you can generate a few extra bucks a week. Moreover, this company pays. I am living proof of that. I photo copied my check and invoice for proof of my first payment as a writer.
“Bloggers” hit this site of “Gajillion.com”(click on the link) for more info on it and be sure to tell them that I sent you.
Till next time….

My last free thought
My last free thought
Our world, as we know it
Has changed
With everything around us
Rearranged
As Nostradamus scripted
“Man made mountains shall plunge into the sea”
And now were all afflicted.
Some of us still in shock
Mouths open
As if they’re sucking on a cock
War is upon us
As written in some crazy scriptures
Now all we can do,
Is to look back,
At our old pictures
Or recall from memory
Sit down and tell the horrendous story
If the writings on the wall hold true
For a long time we all will be feeling blue
“Twenty and seven years”
Is what was written
All this chaos for what I say
Lets just be kids
Go outside and play
Go quick before the sun goes out
Don’t listen to the wrong people
Scream and shout
Our world has changed
With everything around us
About to be rearranged
Good luck to us all
Hoped you enjoyed your last day of freedom.

Missed being robbed by mere minutes
Today started off well, then got crazy for a bit.
Here we go. I go do laundry in the morning at my local Laundromat. Now I have a unique way of doing my laundry, being that I hate to sit and wait I just drop it into the machine and leave.
You see I hate to sit and wait. So doing laundry only takes me an hour or so. I put it in the was for 22 minutes exactly, I leave go get a coffee come back and switch them to the dryer for 40 minutes, then drive home and chill for the time.
Well today I did just that, but when I put my clothes in the dryer and left, two minutes later the place was held up at gunpoint.
I came back to get my clothes 40 minutes later to find it swamped with cops. I get informed of what transpired then questioned as to who I am and what I am doing here. After a lil show and tell with the cops I head home buggin a bit.
I missed being robbed my mere minutes. Wow is today my lucky day or what?
Till next time….

Allergy advice
Ok here we go, for a quick laugh check this out. My girl was having allergy problems the other day, so I offered advice.
One being to clear up your sinuses just do a headstand over the toilet, dip your head in and flush. That should clean you out. All the water circling around should get all the mucus out. And to keep it all away, just get some chicken urine. That really works. Their urine keeps all allergies at bay.
She sent me to hell quickly. But I ask you all, did I offer good advice?

A short simple recap
Hello all. Been awhile since I sat down and wrote to my fans. How are you all doing? Hope you all are doing well. A lot has been going on since we last chatted. Don’t really know where to begin or what to write about. But I will tell you all this, I got me a new job. Yes! Finally I am employed once again. Been with them now for 2 months. I was unemployed for three, now that sucked a lil bit.
Grant it I was able to rest up, but let me tell you, it gets boring real fast. And me, I don’t sleep in, so that part I didn’t even register. I was up everyday bright and early sending out resumes, or desktop support to my clients. Did not rest at all. I actually sleep more now with a job, then when I didn’t have one. Odd huh?
Well I wasn’t going to get political but I must ask, what is up with “John Mccain” picking that lady as his running mate? Is he that desperate for the minority votes that he added her to counter “Mr. Obama”? She is a bit attractive I might add. And why remake “90210”? What’s next, “Melrose Place”? Are we that starved for new ideas?
Well not much has been going on in my life. I am dating this girl. That’s new. We’re taking it slow, as in getting to know each other, known her for a bit now, but not in an intimate relationship fashion. Taking it one day at a time, see where that leads me.
Got paid to write, which most of you know, and I thanked all of you for that. But other then that I have been bored as hell. Seems as if my life for some odd reason is at a stall at the moment. Maybe I need a lady to jumpstart my life, or some sort of divine force to point in me In the right direction, or I should just grow the fuck up and realize that I am living and this is life, we make the best of it. Ah well.
One thing that I am really looking forward to is “Football” season. Thank God for winter and its glorious sport. Oh and fall, I love fall. Well before I continue babbling I will let you all get back to your lives. Thank you for your time.
Till next time….
