Proud To Be An American
I am so proud right now, I mean really proud. Where do I begin. I have always been proud to be an American(it's as prestigious as being a student at Harvard, joke). It's all because of the election process, where anyone who can make a change, has a chance. I really believe that americans of all races will vote for the woman or african-american man they really feel can bring about change to our great nation. This presidental election has been history in the making from the start. A woman and an african-american man both running for the democratic nomanation for President of the United States Of America, what's next? And, now Barack Obama has accepted the nomination for his party. And he will win.
I'm listening for the 1st time, The Next President of The USA accepting the democratic nomanation for president.
Never in my lifetime did I ever think this would happen. I'm sure my mom never thought she would seee this either and I know she along with others her age are so happy. When I say that I mean everybody not just black folk. I really believe he will win. Not because he is black, but because I feel he is what this nation needs. We want change.
Here's a little something I found on BET's webpage:
Kanye West is bittersweet about Barack Obama’s candidacy for president. West calls it “an incredible time” but he says, “I wish my mamma could have seen this day.” West was in Denver at the Democratic National Convention. He and Jamie Foxx performed a song dedicated to Obama at a party sponsored by Bono and the Recording Industry Association of America. Onstage Foxx declared, “With Obama, we make history.” Meanwhile, Oprah Winfrey, an early supporter of Obama, backing him even before the Democratic primaries got under way last year, said she cried her “eyelashes off” when Obama accepted the Democratic nomination. She said Obama’s speech was the “most powerful thing” she has ever experienced.
So as you can see americans of all races, ages, and social backgrounds want change. We want Barck Obama for president!!!!

He is definitely a talented artist, but a man needs to beat his a^* for sure. He throws fans off of stages, simulates sex on stage with an underage girl( he says he didn't know, she was in a club for adults).I don't blame him but I wanted to mention it anyway, now he hits a young woman in her face. Somebody, anybody f*^& him up!!!!

Marion Jones Released From Prison
I'm sure you've noticed on my blog I have photos of black women we should admire, unfortunately there is one woman who I wish I could have on my blog. Marion Jones. I was so proud of this young woman. I mean she was the fastest woman in the world. I along with others rooted for her during the 2000 Sydney, Australia Olympics. She was Americas darling. We knew if any woman could win all gold medals in all 5 events they were competing in, it was Marion Jones. She won 3 gold and 2 bronze medals.
She was everywhere after the Olympics. I remember she had an ad with American Express. Every time I saw that ad I would watch it as if it were the first time. I felt so proud. Another thing I admired about her was her physique. She always looked so well toned. Her muscles were evident but not to manly. She just looked so strong and she was wonderful to watch sprinting on the track.
I didn't know she was under investigation for steroid use. I only heard about her troubles when she admitted to it. WOW, was I disappointed along with millions whose trust she betrayed. Why would any athlete feel that the public wants to watch and admire a fraud and a liar? Well we know why they do it.MONEY,FORTUNE,FAME,ENDORSEMENTS AND MORE MONEY. I'm glad some of them are getting caught for duping as into believing in their "superior performance" as a God given talent. When all the while their doping to enhance their performance, just so they can become the best in their sport.
Look at her body. She is lean,and muscles toned. She looks great. Why would we not think all of this was due to hard work?
Yes, Marion you messed up big time. We all have at some point in our lives. Unfortunately, yours was for the whole world to see. Now all your phony achievements are going to be cleared from the record books as if you were never a part of track and field. Well at least the honest, hard working, side of the sport. I hope you use your experience to help young athletes who are going to be seduced by the limelight and glory as you were. Help save lives and spirits by telling your story. This time tell the whole truth.

Diabetes Symptoms & Diabetes Symptom Checker
Remember not long ago I said that I had to be careful not to turn this blog into an entertainment only blog? Well now I have to be careful not to turn it into a health blog. Let me say also,that I can't help when I see something I know as black folk we need to see, hear, and read I like to share the information. So I want to mention a little about a disease that of course is affecting the black community: DIABETES. I have had 2 family members suffer from diabetes. The complications that this disease caused them were terrible. My first cousin on my maternal side had suffered from diabetes for as long as I could remember. She had problems with her eyesight, she was in and out of the hospital,she had to inject herself with insulin everyday. It was sad she was a very young woman,health issues related to diabetes eventually took her life. My maternal grandmother also suffered from diabetes. She had one of her legs amputated.
DIABETES is a serious condition that needs to be monitored. The American Diabetes Association says that "diabetes is a disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin. Insulin is a hormone that is needed to convert sugar, starches and other food into energy needed for daily life. The cause of diabetes continues to be a mystery, although both genetics and environmental factors such as obesity and lack of exercise appear to play roles".
Here are 5 symptoms you should pay attention to:
1) frequent urination
2) unexplained weight loss
3) tingling in hands and feet
4) sores that won't heal
5) excessive thirst
Use this symptom checker to see if you are at risk Diabetes Symptom Checker.
Diabetes can also led to other serious health issues:
1) heart disease
2) gum disease
3) stroke
4) kidney problems
5) nerve damage
6) blindness
To find out what causes diabetes and much more you need to check out Diabetes.Org. Once you're there look for the diabetes risk calculator. Take it and find out your risk!!!
I really wish that as a people we take better care of ourselves and our families. I don't take care of myself as I should but I'm going to start. I want to live a long and healthy life. I hope that we all do.
