SO WHERE HAS ALL THE FLOWERS GONE

''I don't quit'''! The words declared by our president last night in his State of the Union address on live television. How many of his supporters were watching? I certainly hope there were more than the infamous opposers!

It is sad to see that our own newspapers are literally showing their own opinions about him in black and white.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

FIRST AND FOREMOST, I WANT TO GIVE THANKS TO GOD! For from Him, all blessings come. Since you're reading this right now you agree . ( YOU'RE STILL BREATHING)
We know that an idle mind doesn't stay idling long before it becomes the devil's work-shop.
So see what's on the menu:

ENTREPRENEURSHIP
the economy being down now, some are turning to entrepreneurship. most anyone can become an entrepreneur with a bank account or a small business loan. NOT YOUR CHOICE ?...get someone to invest into your project. it only takes high aspirations and a business plan to get started. Its a chance to express your creativity and may even bring in the cash you're needing.

YEAR OF THE SANDWICH

Subway has grabbed the #1 spot for sandwich makers people.with the economy being what it is, singles and families have traded from full service restaurants to fast food. there is value by tapping into that huge market. and, there's nothing wrong with being a copycat.!!!! (GET YOUR OWN THING GOING) we've seen it for years. you remember, its called GENERIC AND "MAMA SAID GET THE CHEAPER BRAND" at the stores. cheaper just means there's that smart guy out there bitting off of somebody who went BIG and during very well for himself. (Sooooo..lets get started)

IF THAT'S NOT ENOUGH FOOD ON YOOUR PLATE FOR YOUR MEAL , TRY MY DESSERT!

nobody can go BACK and start a new beginning but anyone can START TODAY and make a new ending. Maria Robinson made that quote but anyone can learn from it. YOU THINK !

WHAT'S on YOUR MIND ? and MINE ?

HOW YOU DOO-ING ? YEAH, I'M BITTING OFF OF MY GIRL WENDY WILLIAMS ! WELL, I'M A LITTLE PISSED OFF, RIGHT ABOUT NOW //?XOPFGH-HZ/ODM. I was just insulted by a little smart %#*, nerdy girl. Oh, she said she didn't mean to ....fact is, ..YOU .DID ! Look missy, just because you got a LITTLE degree... doesn't give you the right to think everyone else in this world is dumb or stupid! I was merely looking for more info on an article that was posted on line. So ,I don't have to be a rocket scientist to inquire about it. But to INSINUATE that I couldn't be smart enough to even know anyone smart enough to even take the position, well that's what really PISSES me off. NOW. finished ,OVER! ....... not yet finished, I'm still pissed.
....................Then to try to kiss it off by saying ..."YOU THOUGHT " I " WANTED THE JOB ? %#$o
OH BOO ! That would be like you taking a job digging ditches.
(if by chance you visit my blog, read "WHAT'S, the on YOUR MIND, read this TOO.
STOP THE SNOBBISH BEHAVIOR !! You two are not exactly the smartest people in the world, JUST IN YOUR LITTLE CIRCLE!!

A TRIBUTE TO MY DADDY

I wish I could give a house or a car,
I'd love to give the moon and the stars.
I've alreaady given you the gift of my heart,
and when I was young, I gave my art.
But now I'm a bit older, a bit wiser you see
I'd like to give you what you gave to me.
See it wasn't the money, it wasn't the things,
It wasn't the clothes,toys or rings.
What you gave me was peace of mind,
That as long as you lived, things would be fine.
I'm not that little girl that you always see,
And I no longer need you to worry about me.
I'm not saying that I can do it all alone.
Nor am I saying our bond is gone.
I just want to give "you" a little peace of mind.
That your little girl is gonna be fine.
She has someone to watch over her by her side,
He'll never leave her, because in Him she abides.
So don't worry about me, but don't cast me away.
He gave me to you that Friday in May,
You've done what you could, that's all that He asks.
And I think He'd say, "Well done on your task."
I could continue to write line upon line,
I could write you a book, but we don't have the time.
So I'll end it with this, a smile and a kiss,
And thank you for being a Daddy to me
In this day and age, there aren't many you see,
But I have what most women never knew
A Daddy who loves me, and that Daddy's you.
So have a "Happy Daddy's Day", even though I can't be with you.
I send you my love, and His love too.

THE TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS OF THIS SISTER

What in the world was I thinking?
I think I closed both my eyes,
What was I expecting to happen?
Listening to those stupid lies.

One said, it's a chinch, you'll have no problem
Girl, I qualified - so can you,
There's really nothing to it
Here's all that you have to do.

But, then again I remember,
Hearing you can appeal it you know.
So they turn you down now....
You'll get it next time for sure.

Don't mind if you're always broke,
Can't pay your rent or bills,
You can hire yourself a lawyer,
You can let him appeal.

Tramping back and forth to the doctor,
Spending cash that you need,
Filling out forms and taking examinations
Each time they say, $10.00, PLEASE!

I know it must have been CRACK,
Either weed or cocaine,
But I wasn't even smoking!
So, what was frying my brain?

To think that I would be chosen,
Awarded my benefits,
That was the "joke of the millenium"
Just kiss my AZZ and go to SHE-IT.

RETRIBUTION

CAN ANYONE ONE OUT THERE FEEL ME? I MEAN...DO YOU SEE WHERE I'M COMING FROM?

I know there has -to - be- at least one person who has spent a lot of time

filling out forms of some kind, spilling out all your guts to somebody. Yeah,

PRACTICALLY WRITING A BIOGRAPHY OR NOVEL OF YOUR LIFE ON AN APPLICATION FORM FOR

a job, school paper or FEMA ASSISTANCE BOOKLET. Well now that you've spent hours as

much as weeks making sure every detail is in order, there's just no way you're be

denied. I MEAN,BEING DENIED, is the farthest thing from your mind.WELLLLLLLLLLLLLL

NOW THAT'S WHEN YOU JUST HAVE TO TELL SOMEBODY "WHERE TO GO." They said, "NO"!!!!!


.
(that was 6 years ago... I've been approved and have been reaping the fruits of my

labor for one- full - year now!!!!!!!!!

HERE ARE SOME OF MY FAVORITE QUIPS AND QUOTES

DID YOU KNOW THAT:

The secret of happiness is doing what you WISH you could DO ?

The most difficult SECRET for a MAN to keep is his own opinion of HIMSELF !

The reputation of a thousand years may be determined by the conduct of one hour !

IDEAS ARE LIKE CHILDREN; THERE ARE NONE SO WONDERFUL AS YOUR OWN!

Most people think that problems causes UNHAPPINESS....when in fact, UNHAPPINESS CAUSES PROBLEMS ?

Don't Worry Be Happy

Life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right. Forget about the ones who don't. Believe everythhing happens for a reason. If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands. If it changes
your life, let it. Nobody promised life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.
FRIENDS ARE LIKE BALLOONS, ONCE YOU LET THEM GO, YOU CAN'T
GET THEM BACK. Hold Tight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
