I should be sleeping

-
I should be sleeping but I am too wired to go to bed right now. I thought it would be good to let out some of my frustration via writing. So i was looking at trending topics on Twitter when I spotted "you lie" there. Out of curiosity I decided to check it out. It was a trending topic that started from Rep Joe Wilson yelled out "You Lie" during President Obama address to the congress. I watched his speech and found it to be phenomenal. I thought wow, how I am lucky to see such a great man be a leader of such a great country. When I heard the 'you lie' yell I first thought someone said "why?' so I was a little confused. When I realized that the person yelled out lie, I just had to roll my eyes. Seriously, that is disrespectful. Telling your president that he is a liar. Who does this guy think he is? Obviously he is ...you know since I have nothing nice to say I am not going to say anything. I am just frustrated and angry right now. What is wrong with people? President Obama can not do anything right. They have to pick a bone with him for everything. There is a need to create health reform. Instead of trying to destroy it before it sees the light of day why don't we try to help the president to create a great policy that helps our nation.
I try my best not to claim a party because historically both parties have wronged black folks. So I just look at the candidates and think which ones will best fit what I stand for. Lately I have just been turned off by members of the Republican party, to the point I get a weird feeling when I meet someone who calls themselves a republican. I know that not all Republicans are bad but there are some(most likely a small minority) that are a little misguided. CAN WE JUST GET ALONG!

Few months ago I posted my first Feminist Wednesday video. Feminist Wednesday is a day I celebrate a female artist who makes me proud to be a female. Today I am celebrating the magnificent P!nk. My word when I think I can't love P!nk anymore than I do, she goes and does this. Can we talk for a minute about her flawless performance at this year's AMA. That is how you perform live folks. Here for your viewing pleasure is the powerful video for her second single off The   Truth about Love.

Moving on, starting fresh

I DID IT! I graduated college! All the sleepless nights, pulling of the hair and crying myself to sleep have paid off, I now have my college diploma. Now that I have ended one successful chapter in my life I am looking forward to embarking on the next one. I am looking forward to igniting the flame inside of me and turning it into a full blown bonfire. I am not sure what the future holds but I cannot wait to find out. When I was five I never thought I was going to live in Tunisia or Mozambique for that matter. I never would have imagined that if I put my mind to it I could study abroad in Australia nor did i think I would go to college in upstate New York. I have done so pretty much amazing things but I still want to do more. I want to see the world, get touched spiritually and emotionally by incredible individuals, hopefully bring joy to all of those around me, laugh more, cry less, regret less, write more, cook more and live each day to its fullest. In effort to start anew I have d

He doesn't even need to ask

-
Over a month ago, I watched the absolutely beautiful My Own Private Idaho . I had a bit of a revelation after watching the film. Which is kind of interesting because it has nothing to do with the themes that were brought up in the film. If you have not watched My Own Private Idaho , I suggest that you check it out. It is hauntingly beautiful and River Phoenix is such a beautiful soul. Anyways, back to the topic of my post. I was thinking about how beautiful Keanu Reeves looked in the movie and how he could seriously get it. Jokingly I said to myself that "he doesn't even need to ask". Then a light bulb went off in my head. What exactly was I insinuating by that remark. Was I suggesting that because he was so attractive he does not need to ask for my permission to have sexual relations with me? After much thought, I realized that was what I was suggesting. As someone who considers themselves to be a feminist, this revelation hit me like a ton of bricks. I was completely
