Kerry'ism Quote - APPRECIATION/IT'S THE THOUGHT THAT COUNTS

APPRECIATION;Doesn't matter what you cook, I'll eat it. It may not taste like a delicacy,but I'm going to eat, cherish & appreciate it like it is. The least I could do is help with the dishes, rub your sweet feet after I dip'em in ice cream,lay your head on my chest & tuck you away in a dream. As my grandmother would echo in Church overwhelmed with grace, mercy & goodness."You didn't have to do it...but I thank you" Continue

YOU MISSED THE 9/26 "IN LIKE FLYNN" SHOW?! THEN CATCH A RECAST!!

Click on the Blogtalk player Icon and see what you think about how terrorism is being defined...Some men plan an attack that never goes off in New York, a young Islamist isolated in Texas finds "friends" on the internet who coax him into involvement in a fake bombing attempt, a Census worker is stripped and hanged in Kentucky. How are we defining terrorism? Why wasn't the HOFSTRA student who falsely cried "rape" being prosecuted? And why are corporations clamoring to bu… Continue

Oops! Out of Time.

Today, for reasons I have yet to determine, my late, paternal grandmother weighs heavily upon my already ultra-engaged mind. Malinda Cartwright was a force of nature - a "piece of work" to be sure. This East Texas-born mother of nine, born… Continue

An excerpt from "Just a Season" - "Granddaddy’s Lessons" - A must read

A few months ago I posted this excerpt from my novel "Just a Season". I received a very special heartfelt request from a devoted follower asking me to repost “Granddaddy’s Lessons”. Although she calls herself “a fan of my thoughts,” I call her my friend. Therefore, I am honored to repost this message that I feel delivers a powerful message and I hope it will enlighten, empower, motivate, and touch your heart as well. Today we live in a world where there is no more Granddaddy to share that preci… Continue

Could this be???

I heard a radio pundit recently scold his listening audience about the condition of our minds. He was talking about what he called the “Tim Man Syndrome” that many are experiencing in our culture. I must admit, I was a bit confused as to the point of his commentary until I made the connection to the Wizard of Oz where the Tim Man was lost, searching for a brain, and wanted the Wizard to give him one; when in fact he had a brain all along. He just needed to use it. The pundit’s closing statement… Continue

Grand Ol’ Party v Supreme Court Nominee Sonia Sotomayor = WTF (http://justaseason.blogspot.com/)

I am going to start by saying I am appalled by the actions of the Grand Ol’ Party’s treatment of Supreme Court Nominee Judge Sonia Sotomayor. Since I’ve lived through segregation, Jim Crow and have experienced racism - I should not be surprised. Actually, this behavior was reminiscent of days long past when the likes of Strom Thurmond and George Wallace espoused their vision of America. The tone used against the justice during nominating hearings was such a sad commentary on the part of these “S… Continue

A Change Is Gonna Come

I love change. I really do. It’s something about tapping into new dimensions that gets me excited. After a certain period of time in the same state I start to get the hebejebees. I believe change keeps me constantly evolving and pressing towards greater marks. I believe when I consistently know where the target is, my aim gets dull after a while because I've just gotten use to where it is. You know what happens when we become so accustomed to our abilities, we take on the “I know I got th… Continue

IF I HAD ONE WISH…

As a kid I remember watching "I Dream Of Jeannie" faithfully. It was something about seeing Jeannie grant wishes in the blink of eye, that fascinated me. I remember thinking on numerous occasions – “Man, if I had just one wish…”. My one wish usually turned out to be three or four… Continue

Black Author Continues to Cause a Stir

EveryDay Life by MG Hardie is a book that goes against the traditional literature grain. It has once again produced a book review that may go down as one of the best book reviews of the 21st Century. One of Hardie's first book reviews compared him to Tyler Perry, while comparing EveryDay Life to movies such as the The Wood and The Best Man. Subsequent reviewers have referred to EveryDay Life as “Brilliance”, “Masterpiece”, and setting a “New Literary Standard”. EveryDay Life was named The Best K… Continue

Teaching Me About Pain!

Yesterday’s Sunday school lesson was about Jesus’ crucifixion and how we enjoy the life that we have because he died for our sins. Pain was also discussed as a vivid occurrence by saying that we all endure some type of pain before we experience joy! This statement started me to reflect upon the birth of my daughter. I went through a natural delivery, impacted by back labor which caused me to feel as if my back was breaking into many pieces. But at the exact moment my daughter was able to open h… Continue

The Heart That Keeps On Beating

THE HEART THAT KEEPS ON BEATING It has the most important job. Wounded yet it never skips a beat. There is no gluing or stitching involved, it just continues to work, as if oblivious to attacks. It’s a wonder and many are in awe of it. It’s the pumper of life. Sometimes it’s carelessly handled and is crushed easily. Many are not conscious of its fragileness. It is the holder of emotions and takes a direct hit when trampled upon. Shattered, broken and cracked in many places, however never gi… Continue

EveryDay Life reviewed by Reader Views

It has been a very, very long time since I have read a play. With that said, even I realize that “Every Day Life” is not your typical play. Hip, although a dated word is the first one that came to my mind. We are a fly on the wall with four African-American men in the Long Beach inner city in the late 1990s. While the guys were hanging around smoking dope and talking, they taught me more than I could ever imagine. Read the full review: http://www.readerviews.com/ReviewHardieEveryDayLife.html Continue

Yep, the power of "facts" on the internet. Ain't it grand? People take forwards as gospel. Do you all also believe that Barack Obama shouldn't be president because he's not an American citizen? It' says he's not on the internet! I kinda wanted this…
