YES WE CAN!!!

I know I am extremely late with posting this video. I was trying to figure out how to put the actual video up here. Yes, after all of this time, I am still trying to understand how this thing called "blogging" actually works. Unfortunately, I haven't figured out the way to post an actual video. So, I'm just posting the link.

This video by Will.i.am has taken the Internet by storm and has turned this election season on it's side! He got some of the big names to come in and support this cause. Here's a piece of what Will.i.am had to say (you can read the rest on the above website):

The Yes We Can Song
by will.i.am

I was sitting in my recording studio watching the debates...Torn between the candidatesI was never really big on politics...and actually I’m still not big on politics...but 4 years ago, me and the black eyed peas supported Kerry...And we supported Kerry with all our might...We performed and performed and performed for the DNC...doing all we could do to get the youth involved...The outcome of the last 2 elections has saddened me...on how unfair, backwards, upside down, unbalanced, untruthful,corrupt, and just simply, how wrong the world and "politics" are...So this year i wanted to get involved and do all i could early...And i found myself torn...because this time it’s not that simple...our choices aren’t as clear as the last elections ...last time it was so obvious...Bush and warvsno Bush and no war...But this time it’s not that simple...and there are a lot of people that are torn just like i am...So for awhile I put it off and i was going to wait until it was decided for me...And then came New Hampshire...And i was captivated...Inspired...

10yr Old Girl Impregnated by Mother's 40yr Old BF

I am literally at a total loss for words:

The baby’s birth at University Hospital on Nov. 4 was routine.

What wasn’t routine was the fact the infant’s mother was just 10, impregnated by her mother’s boyfriend.

Now, social workers are trying to figure out how to unravel the mess involving one of the youngest children ever to give birth in Greater Cincinnati.

Prosecutors were in court Wednesday to discuss what to do with both children, the newborn and her now 11-year-old mom. The court session in Hamilton County Dependency Court on Wednesday was primarily a status session on how both the baby and young mother are doing.

At the same time Wednesday, Lockland police were in Columbus talking to a convict whose DNA shows he’s the baby girl’s father. Michael Chaffer, 40, is accused of impregnating his girlfriend’s 10-year-old daughter, according to Hamilton County prosecutors. The baby’s birth set off an investigation by the Hamilton County Department of Job and Family Services and stunned social workers because the baby’s mother is so young.

Just had to share!

I had such a GOOD workout this morning. It takes A LOT to make me sweat. And let me tell you......I had the sweat just dripping down my face. I looked in the mirror and saw sweat around my neck. Now, this may sound sorta icky & nasty to most. BUT, for me, I was soooooooooo excited! Just to KNOW that I'm sweating lets me know that not only am I having a REALLY good workout, I'm burning the hell outta some calories. I'm such a dweeb! LMAO

LMMFAO....that's all! Thanks for reading. :)

Stepha Henry update

I guess we're STILL not good enough for mainstream news. Or, perhaps it could be because of the presidential debate being THE hot topic, and will be until Election Day? In any rate, here is an update on Stepha Henry - the missing 22-year old aspiring lawyer from Brooklyn, NY that disappeared while visiting relatives down in Florida almost a year ago.

Remember hearing/reading reports about Stepha last being seen with a man who drove her to the club where she disappeared? Well, he has finally been arrested. Kendrick Williams, who is 32-years old, is being charged in connection with her disappearance and possibly her death.

Personally, I always felt something wasn't right about this guy who picked her up. How was it that he was not able to locate the car that he drove that night to the club? Well, guess what?! The cops FINALLY found it.

Although Stepha's body has not been found, police are charging him with second-degree murder. According to the official police report, "During the month of September 2007, following investigative leads, detectives located and impounded the Acura Integra driven by Williams on the night Ms. Henry was last seen. A forensic analysis of the vehicle revealed substantial evidence which detectives were able to conclusively link to the victim."

It's Been a While

Hey everybody!

I know it has been a long time since I have posted something. Please accept my apologies. I am now back in school, so I am not sure if that will help me to do more posts or even less than what I have already been doing. BUT, I will post as often as I possibly can.

I hope everyone had a good holiday season. It's a new year...new and better things are on the horizon. I wish you all a wonderful new year. I hope you accomplish all of those goals and new year's resolutions that you made.
