i would like to give special recognition to my friends:

my love
my big sis
my weird sis
my stylist
that kid from halo

...from him. he no longer makes my knees weak, my eyes tear up, or my heart stop. i don't find myself resisting the urge to call him for the urge is gone. i am no longer afraid to run into him at the grocery store. i am no longer his captive. his hold on me has vanished. my soul is no longer his. he hasn't killed me. he never will. i am free. i am happy.

i would like to thank him for hurting me. i got weak, and he helped me realize that I AM STRONG. without him i would not have my son and a wonderful new life to look FORWARD to.

i would also like to thank my friends and family for being there for me.

i love you all.

of everybody comparing obama to mlk. mlk was a great man. he and his followers believed in EQUALITY not racial supremacy. civil means citizen. not black, white, gay, or straight. i am blind to skin colour. i hear words and see actions. the reason i didn't vote for obama is because i believe a man is measured by his work not his style or colour. barack obama may be the first BI-RACIAL president but he has in no way done half the work of mlk. his leadership sparked a between the line race war. mlk lived in a time of pure hatred and violence. nothing was handed to him. obama is just riding on his shirt tails. your opinion is your thing but give credit where fucking credit is due. give it to the man who was beaten down and rose up for his beliefs. not a guy who scammed his way to the white house by playing the race card.

according to her, crime stems from SINGLE MOMS! this right wing nit-wit appeared on the view promoting her new book in which an entire chapter is devoted to this belief. it's titled: "victim of crime? thank a single mom!" how can someone be so ignorant? like some women have a choice. husbands die (in war, accidents, health, etc.) and leaves wives to carry on without them. what if a man leaves his wife for another woman? is she supposed to instantly get re-married for the sake of being married? single mothers should be praised (if they're taking care of their children), not bashed and turned into a negative stigma. raising a child properly is a hell of a lot harder than running your mouth and writing books. she should be thankful for single moms. they produced and raised the children that fought for the freedom that allows her to run her mouth. many criminals do come from broken homes, and some single mothers slack off and allow their children to run wild. but there are many single moms to do an excellent job of raising children. it's wrong to wish for this, but i hope one day she is married and has a child. then i wish her husband would leave her to raise that child on her own. then, i bet, she'd eat her words and learn some respect.

oh, and i saw her playboy issue. VERY classy. she should be proud... not.
