Life is…


Full of complications with obstacles that can discourage you from your goal. Don’t let anyone’s ignorant attitude distract you. You are an unique individual with gifts to share. Do you really know what it means to have a peace of mind?
Can anyone stand up and say they have achieve it? When you have it, despite your current circumstance, you tend to worry less, and slow to anger at times.

One Day at A Time


It seems that my life is an up and down roller coaster on quicksand. One day is great the next is stressfull. I’m at a point in my life where thoughts of giving up waivers in my face. I know I shouldn’t, but sometimes I’m just too tired to do anything. I’m not saying that I’ll give up, but they are just thoughts that float around. Can anyone truly look at themselves in the mirror and be content with the way they look and their circumstance without complaints?

People | Shriver signs off


Source:http://www.thestate.com/nation/story/211688.html

Shriver signs off. Maria Shriver’s not interested in going back to the TV news biz.

Shriver, speaking this week at a women’s conference in California, noted the media circus surrounding Anna Nicole Smith’s accidental drug overdose death in February.

“It was then that I knew that the TV news business had changed and so had I,” she said. “I called NBC News and told them I’m not coming back.”

Shriver took an extended leave from the network when husband Arnold Schwarzenegger ran for governor in 2003. The following year, she announced she was leaving NBC News because she was unable to juggle her work there with her duties as California’s first lady.

The trials of Britney. Britney Spears avoided a criminal hit-and-run trial by paying for damages in a fender-bender but still faces a charge of driving without a license, a court commissioner ruled Thursday in Los Angeles.

Spears was not required to attend the hearing on the misdemeanor charges stemming from an Aug. 6 parking lot mishap.

Superior Court Commission Susan Speer dismissed the hit-and-run charge after a lawyer for the pop star said his client had paid an undisclosed amount to a woman whose car was hit in a Studio City parking lot.

Catching up with the Lohans. Michael Lohan wants to patch things up with his family.

“Reconciliation and redemption — across the board,” says Lohan, a born-again Christian. “Just all of us getting right with God.”

Lohan’s 21-year-old daughter Lindsay, star of “Mean Girls,” has said her father’s behavior and her parents’ divorce caused her to act out and log three tips to rehab since January.

Michael and estranged wife Dina Lohan settled their long-simmering divorce in August, months after he left a New York state prison where he served almost two years for drunken driving and other charges. He has said his daughter needs the same type of Christian-based rehabilitation treatment he received after his release.

Bad manners? TMZ.com reports that Kathie Martin, who runs the Etiquette School of Birmingham, Ala., has filed a lawsuit against Sasha Baron Cohen and 20th Century Fox, claiming she was emotionally assaulted by Cohen in a scene from last year’s “Borat” movie in which Cohen-as-Borat shows her a naked picture of a man he claims is his son while she is on camera.

Filed in Manhattan Supreme Court a year after the fact, the suit seeks unspecified damages, citing “commercial misappropriation, fraud, unjust enrichment, invasion of privacy and intentional infliction of emotional distress.”

Driving while ‘Lost.’ The Honolulu Advertiser reports that Daniel Dae Kim, who plays the implacable Jin on the smash-hit show “Lost,” was arrested for DUI Thursday in downtown Honolulu. Kim has posted bail and gone home.

Is Kim in danger? Previous “Lost” stars Michelle Rodriguez, Cynthia Watros and Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje were killed off the show after their own traffic-related brushes with the law.

An Interesting Quiz from Black Planet


Wow, I’m storm! I cam across this quiz on Black Planet called “Which Black Superhero are You”

I’m  just happy to say: I’M NOT AQUAMAN LOL!! 

I’m a huge DC/Marvel Fan. Thanks Dad!!

You are… Storm!

Beyonce to the Black Panther\’s Jay Z, Storm of the X-Men has been the reigning black superheroine for at least three decades. (When you consider she was THE ONLY black superheroine of note for most of those years, it\’s less impressive.) A half-African mutant with the power to control the weather, Storm is likely most familiar to people from a sleep-walking turn by Halle Berry in the X-Men movies, but don\’t be fooled by the weak big-screen treatment. Storm is a legit player in the Marvel Universe who has even lead the X-Men whenever Cyclops comes down with a case of girl trouble.

Real Name: Ororo Munroe, Appears in: multiple X-Men titles and her own series, First appearance: 1975, Powers: Controls the weather, general diva power moves

You Can Overcome This


basara13.jpg (from the anime ‘Legend of Basara’)

You can do it

Don’t let anxiety in your way

You know what you must do

In order to have success come your way

You know that procrastination is your enemy

So why do you let it be

You know you shutdown

When you are capable of doing great things

So don’t stop

Keep on  moving

If you catch yourself falling back

Don’t fall into that trap again

You know what would happen

Once you overcome this

Life will get simpler

If you choose it to be

I heard from someone

That life is not difficult as we tend to make it be

It is definitely a process to overcome bad habits

But miracles do happen

And anything is possible

So don’t give in and don’t give up
