Overexposure to Video Games

He's 7 years old!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

7 Years old.

First off, he needs to stop eating! He's going to have juvenile diabetes!

This is Why I don't Watch

Forgettable performances done by children! Paula cracked me up though.

The Visitor

A friend recommended this movie and thought I'd have lots to comment on after seeing it. I think she's right. I'll catch it this weekend.







Sweet and Sticky


Madonna has done it again. She's gone back to her dance music roots. Hard Candy is part synthesizers and part beats. Madge has pulled some steamy summery beats out of the Neptunes! One of my favorite songs is the first track, "Candy Shop". Other standouts for me are:

Heartbeat ("See my booty get down")
Miles Away
Incredible
Beat Goes On
and the infectious "4 minutes"

Out of the three divas that came out this year. I have to give it to miss M. After all these years in the music business she's gone from dance to pop, to R&B, to electronica all while push fringe musical genres forward to mainstream attention.

I love her style and ability to be so trendy all the time!

Be afraid, very afraid



Every person of color needs to be wary of the police. This verdict was unfair and unjust and if those police officers had been real men and believed in their innocence they would have been judged by a jury of their peers. They did not because they would been found guilty on some count.

"The police response with respect to each defendant was not proved to be
criminal, i.e. beyond a reasonable doubt. Questions of carelessness and
incompetence must be left to other forums."

Okay I get that. What I don't understand is if carelessness and incompetence are factors in other forums why don't they count in this case?

Also, carelessness and incompetence are not standards to be applied here, unless the conduct rises to the level of criminal acts, as defined by the law relating to each count charged.

I don't care if it happened in one second. They were shooting based on assumptions with no merit. The police officers' carelessness and incompetence caused citizens to be injured one fatally.

I have this to say to the mother and former fiance to Sean Bell:

Sue New York City! Get as much as you can get. I think the judge was alluding to that when he said, "Questions of carelessness and incompetence must be left to other forums."

Maybe your children can have some opportunities, unfortunately a father isn't one of them.
