Why must we...

...always be crabs in a barrel? In times like these when the African-American population should be proud, should be supportive, should be registering to vote in unprecedented numbers and blissful in the event that we are about to embark on monumental events, some black intellectuals are still hatin on Obama! Obama is standing firm when in DECADES we have not had a leader stand up for fear of martyrdom, death, turmoil and persecution. The man can not possible get up in front of millions of people and say what I'm sure he and Michelle truly believe, but at the end of the day, they have said a lot that has gone unsaid and in a graceful manner. HE HAS TO GET IN OFFICE PEOPLE! He can't get up there and say, "White people still hate us in America and we know it. Things are still not equal and this is apparent everyday." No Barack is a smart cookie and can't alienate masses to be black enough for you. Elevate your minds please, in a few, yes FEW, years we will be a "multi-cultural society" and this will all be frivolous. Besides, who decides what is the right way to be "black" anyways?? Check this out from Tavis Smiley and let me know your thoughts...

I'm blunt...and rather observant...DUH that means I should blog! I suffer from, no let me rephrase, I combat living with an AVM on a daily basis. An AVM is an Abnormal Veinous Malformation which affects about 250,000 people in the US (http://www.cumc.columbia.edu/dept/cerebro/AVM.htm#Link8). It affects everyone differently, for me it's caused a constant headache since 2003...litterally. I've been in countless doctors offices, been poked and proded, been through the emotions of being misdiagnosed with a brain tumor. Needless to say, I've been through a lot and not just because of my...let's call it an ailment. Above all I've developed a less than common outlook on life and perception of things.Don't for one minute misconstrue, I'm in no way a victim, I'm self-sufficient almost to a fault and encourage others to turn their weaknesses into empowerment. It builds character and makes for one hell of a screenplay ha! That combined with growing up immersed in a semi-charmed world, and the glitz and glamour of Hollyweird leads to some interesting anecdotes...Here are my thoughts...

There are many other Headcases in the world...here are a few..
