Jena 6

Hey all my Chocolate Apple Chicks!,

Did you wear your black yesterday? I sure did, I showed support and hopefully you did to. The situation about those poor boys is just an outrage to me! But thanks to radio talk show host Michael Baisdon, Jesse Jackson and alot more others, something is being done about this. Now for those of you that don't know this is about the Jena 6 trial thats been going on, It's taken place and still is in Jena,Louisiana where a young black male teenager was convicted of aggraveted assualt for a school yard fight, that was brought on by white students who hunh three nooses under a tree to warn the black students not to sit there. The hate crime was dismissed by the school as a harmless prank, and the black students started to protest under the tree. The school then called the local district attorney who told the black students that he could take away their lives the stroke of a pen. Authorities still did not do anything about the situation, this led to numerous fights between white students and black students, but only the black students were tried and found guilty by an all white jury and were thrown in jail. Just recently one student Michael ball was released but had already been given his sentence. Now five of the boys remain, so far their have been rallies, marches, people have and still are getting buses together for this, so many people have gotten involved like activists, celebrities to name a few Ice Cube, 50 Cent, sooooo many more comedians actors, actresses, everyday people this is serious, and lets all remember that this is
NOT against any race its against the SYSTEM, this can happen to anybody latinas, asians, whites, and many more other races out their, if you would like to know more about the Jena 6 you can go to http://www.youtube.com/ and check out footage by typing in Jena 6, go to yahoo or google and type in Jena 6 you will see alot of information also about how you can help out and support. So why dont we all get together and do this, the nonsense needs to come to an end!

Girl calm down, I'm Still Here!

What you want me to do? I'm sorry! I'm back, he he he

Sorry, got a lil Jay-Z on the brain or should I say Hov? Yes I'm still here and I haven't gone anywere. I'm just tired from working hard. And we know how that can be, tiring, stressful, side affects include headache, dizziness, weakness, not being able to function, hurting feet, restless acts of behavior etc. The cure for some but not many? taking some sleeping pills , tylenol or cough syrup ( I suggest cherry and grape flavors) and going to bed! Well maybe thats just me, and even better results after a nice hot shower or bath! So soothing!
I just so happen to be looking at the news tonight, I'd say about an hour ago. When a man gets sent to jail for trying to pay his speeding ticket in change! WOW! okay at least he was attempting to pay it!! My is it me or are situations getting crazier and crazier by the day? maybe he felt like the ticket ddin't deserve to be paid in cash, maybe he had alot of change just collecting around the house or the car, or in a little piggy bank somewhere, and he decided that he wanted to get rid of it? My mom suggested that maybe it was to much work , to have the change counted to make sure it came up to seven hundred (thats how much the ticket was). So basically whats going to happen is he'll just have to pay the ticket in cash, and he can go about his business.
Today is September 11th, the day of this month will always be remembered, I remember hearing about it when it happened. I was in school when all of a sudden the t.v. monitors popped on, the principal came over the loud speaker and explained what happened to all the students and staff of Great Bridge high. We had a moment of silence, but that wasn't enough for some of the anxious kids in school, who had family in Newyork, that lived or either worked by the Twin Towers. After school I rushed to get inside of the door, and I got word from my mother that our folks were alright. But their were alot of other families that weren't. This quickly went into history books, for it is apart of history, but it's something that we'll be able to tell to our kids, every year the day comes around or when they finally make it to school and ask qustions, of course teachers will tell them about it too. My heart continues to go out to those families who lost loved ones and friends, and to the children whos parents now live on in their hearts, and in their memories, And I would also like to dedicate this to the hurricane katrina victims, to for they felt just as much pain when the natural disaster occured.
