Tribute to Micheal J. Jackson

Micheal Jackson Dies at Age 50

It took me awhile to believe it was true, but after reading various blogs, messages on Facebook and media coverage, CNN finally confirmed that the King of Pop-Michael J. Jackson was dead.

It is still too much to take in all at once, but I am sure we will all get through this sudden lost of a musical genius, brother and friend in time.

At least he left us the comfort of his music to help us cope through the grief.

Senate Wants To Apology for Slavery, but Doesn't Want to Provide Reparations.

The United States Senate finally wants to apologize for the inhuman capture and treatment of African slaves and the lawful, yet immoral racial injustice experienced by African-Americans, but is it too little too late? What will this acknowledgement prove? Do we not all comprehend Americana's treacherous, barbaric history to gain economic, political and world domination?

And what's up with the omission of reparations? This was part of the Reconstruction plan after the Civil War. Didn't General William Sherman promise, through the Special Field Orders, No 15, that freed slaves living in South Carolina, Georgia and Florida would receive "40 acres and a mule" on the steps of The First African Baptist Church in Savannah, Georgia on January 16, 1865, well after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed by President Abraham Lincoln?

I would prefer my land up front, so I can build my empire. They can keep the mule, I’ll take a tractor.

Finding Inspiration

It is a beautiful thing when you are inspired by so many things around you. While I have been taking time to relax, I have also been reading various blogs, talking with friends on Facebook and watching a little bit of television. All of these forms of entertainment offered me the motivation I needed to get focused on what I am supposed to be doing, as far as business ventures are concerned.

From observing friends reach major goals, watching shows where people make their dreams tangible, reading about brothers opening clothing stores on both coast and taking their movement to another level, I had to get my act together.

Sometimes when you are not even looking to be inspired God sends you the exact dose of motivation you need in order to create your masterpiece.

Trying to be Productive

While on on vacation from work for the first week, I have been beefing up my fitness regime. Since I have way more time on my hands than I currently know what to do with, it made logically sense to hit the gym twice a day. Hey, at least no one can say that I am a total sloth.

The 1st week on any vacation or summer break is always the weirdest because you are happy that you don't have to get up so early for work, yet you are not sure what you should be doing with the extra time.

It's a pity that I am not the type who could lay in the bed all day. Because I would, but I can't. I have to be productive. Especially with so many ideas floating around in my head.

With that end mind, my 1st week will be ending, so I need to get myself into some sort of routine besides just the gym... fast.

Finally Free From Work

I apologize for not updating the personal blog for a couple of weeks. Anyone who writes their own blogs, works and is a parent can relate to the balancing act one has to constantly endure.

Now that I am finally on summer vacation, my plans are to dedicate more time to chasing my passion and ultimately conquering a few goals in the process.

Summer will be over before you know it and I will be once again have my days filled with other duties and responsiblities. Such as the education of our youth, so it is imperative that each day is used to the fullest.
