Walk on Water


Yeah, I never thought this was possible either, (except for in the bible, when Jesus did it) and I am still a little skeptical now, But this video is damn sure convincing that it is possible for a human being in these day and times, to walk on water. Don't believe me? then check out this video these guys actually discovered a way to "walk on water" and it looks legit. The only thing that makes me a skeptic is that I am not there in person to witness this, because you know you can pretty much do anything with the video editing software that is out there these days. But you be the judge TUNE IN, COMMENT and tell me what you think. ~TEB

New scrabble to allow Proper nouns???


Well you know that I had to post this, because I AM the best scrabble player in my city. LOL... no, but really, when I first heard about this I honestly didn't believe it. I thought that would be too much to actually change a scrabble game, and be able to use words like Walmart Jayz Oprah. Etc I think it would cause a sort of chaos, especially with the people that I play with we are two competitive and would be challenging those words like Jayz, that we know aren't in the dictionary. So this is where the good news come in, because that was a rumor, in fact its a part of Mattel (the company who distributes the game) in England that is coming out with a scrabble "Trickster". In scrabble trickster, which will be released in July in England, you can use proper nouns and steal people letters and spell words backwards, adding a whole new dimension to the game. so in that aspect I think that would be cool, but to change the original rules to the original scrabble would not be logical.

Hey Donovan!

Daily SMH

Some of the outrageous things that go on in this world never cease to amaze me. I am no longer shocked by the things I hear, nor the things I see; well that's what I try to convince to myself of, but there will always be this one thing that will always make me sad and feel like there is no hope for this world. That is when I hear about things such as 7 yr old girl who gets ganged raped by more than 6 boy/men. Yes... 7 years old! When I first read this story my eyes seriously started to water, I just couldn't believe that people would be so sick as to rape a child. You're a grows ass man what the hell are you doing!!??! I'm sorry I have no pity for ANY individual that would take advantage of a sweet innocent child like that...... like, you cant get a girl that is of age? I'm just so confused about this. Well some of you might not know what I am talking about; well I am referring to the story of the little girl who was brought to a party by her older 15 yr old sister in which she ended up gang-raped by six boys/men. Originally her older sister brought her there because she told the guys ( who she just had sex with for money) that they could touch her sister, if they gave her more money...(O_O) ....so the pedophile perverts started off touching the SEVEN yr old girl and than began to rape her. The older sister is also being charged, which is good for her too, what would make you do something like that, at the age of 15 you now have a TON of common sense. I was reading an article and they were saying how the family was going through some tough times, and have been going through child services type issues, but I still don't see any justification to what this girl did to her sister. We all go through tough times at one point or another in our lives, its about how you handle it, or should I say how you were brought up to handle adversity.


On a lighter and more positive note, its good to hear that superstars like jay-z and ludacris, Russell Simmons as well as others, are stepping, up and heading a "Stop The Violence" rally in Trenton New Jersey this weekend. I really respect that, because these people have been given a "pass" to not care about what happens to the latter of people because of their status or bank account, and they still step up every-time. Hopefully this will open those eyes which are blinded by this world, and people will start realizing that it only takes one person to make one change in the world. And for those pedophile perverts, I hope they really realize how they affect that young girls life and her family while they rot in jail, that's just how i am feeling right now.

I want to Laugh I want to Cry


I was at training for work and I had to go to the bathroom; no i wont tell you about my bathroom experience but what I will tell you that while i was waiting for a man to come out the bathroom, I noticed a sign that said "free books". So my curiosity led me to look in the pile of books, in which I came upon a book called " I Want to Laugh I want to Cry". It's a book of poems about "woman's feelings" nonetheless I found a short poem called "Music Touches Feelings" I really enjoyed this poem and felt the same exact way about music as the lady who wrote the poem does. I will be posting some of her other work (Susan Polis Schutz) soon, but for now Tune IN!.





Music touches feelings

That words can not.
It is the melody of the heart,
the voice
of the Spirit.
It inspires some
to think of the past,
some to create
and some to cry.


Music makes me love.

FoRbEaRaNcE....


So I Graduated from Siena College last year, and about 6-7 months, later it finally hit me; no I didn't have an epiphany, it was that monster called Student Loans! So it came, times weren't as good as they could be, so i did what almost any person who is fresh out of college would do; IGNORE IT! I mean I didn't feel like they can just want their money that fast in that small increment of time, and plus, I haven't even found my career job yet! So yes I blew them off. Fast forward over 45 days in delinquency; a great friend suggested that if i didn't have the money (or didn't really feel like paying them just yet) that I should call them and talk to them, before they send my account to the creditors, she said then it will be to late to try to work things out with them. So I decided to take the wonderful advice in calling the people that I owed a total of 1,348.92 to, and spoke with a representative. What I found out really made me excited and anxious to share with everyone. Now I know that not everyone is in debt and not everyone ducks and dodges bill collectors, but I am here to tell you that there is an easier way to not pay your student loans when you just don't have the money (or don't feel like paying it, to be honest). Ok back to the story I told the lady my "situation" and she told me things that I really had no idea about, such as you get 60 months of forbearance (which means if your loans have been past due like mine were, they bring your account to CURRENT status) So if you owed 1,000 or more orrrr less and your account hasn't been sent to a credit bureau then you can request forbearance and you no longer owe that amount at that certain payment due date; IT DOESN'T DISAPPEAR you just brings your account to current status , and gives you a chance to basically "start over". You can request forbearance for up to 12 months at a time, which means you don't have to pay ANYTHING until that date, 12 months later ( this includes the time you were already delinquent). So am I losing you yet? Good, hoped that I wasn't! The only thing you must worry about during forbearance, is the interest that accumulates. They suggest you pay the interest for your time in forbearance so that it wont accumulate. phew, with that said I choose to go into forbearance just until august, then i will start paying my school loans again ( with this time actually paying) I would have used a total of 7 months of forbearance leaving me with 53 more months in my lifetime to use forbearance (which i will now use veryyy wisely). Also know that you can decrease how much your payment is a month but you cant do this while in forbearance you would have to cancel it, but no worries you can always request it again (forbearance) if you're going through hard times or ("going through hard times") 8-) Hopefully I have been clear enough for you. The moral of the story is to not get caught up in debt especially when there are tools such as forbearance you can use to really help you through. I shared this because I thought that this info could help at least one person out there, because I know if I would of seen this post, it would of definitely helped me. Please don't take everything I said and apply it to every loan company or bill collector, I am sure there are different procedures for different companies, the thought is to get you to asks the loan comapany what can be done to help you, instead of not paying your bill( don't forget to mention FORBEARANCE). Ok, on on last note, lets not get forbearance confused with deferment (that's a whole 'nother post) those are two different things, which are very similar, yea that sounds confusing enough already. Ok I am done, I hope this helps!

Song/ Video of the week...

From the very first time I heard this song, I was knew that it was going to be one of my favorite songs, and sure enough ever since i downloaded it, it has been in heavy rotation on my iTouch play list. I have heard this guy B.o.B. aka Bobby Ray's music before, but this song really caught my attention and made me pay full attention to him. I had to go back to his website and listen to some of his "older joints" and I tell you I think he is a dope artist, and I like the fact that he doesn't talk about the things your average rapper talks about, and doesn't allow anyone to keep him in a box. That's what i look for in an artist, this is why he'll probably end up one of my favorite artist. I am eager to see what his album will have to offer, and what it will sound like; it drops April 27th make sure you check that out when it drops, for now watch the video..."Nothing On You" TUNE IN!
