Social Media

CherrieJW | January 28, 2010

Yes, I enjoy Facebook and Twitter. I enjoy the thrill of meeting new people, finding people who share my interests. I carefully manuvuer through various websites while instant messaging with several people. Social media is fantastic if you want critiques on your work.   It’s used for a gazillion reasons. In oppressive countries, citizens tell what [...]

Technology Blues

CherrieJW | January 27, 2010

Okay, let’s say hypothetically that 1. I’m married to an idiot. While we’re doing hypotheticals, lets also include that 2. This idiot is a procrastinating SOB(and if you’d met his mother you’d know that was an accurate portrayal) who conveniently forgets things —– LIKE PAYING A DAMN BILL. So in this hypothetical situation, I would [...]

Motherhood is not a spectator sport

CherrieJW | January 26, 2010

Hillary Clinton stole the phrase from an old African tribe, this old African anonym –it takes a village to raise a child. She neglected to mention what would be the outcome if the village consisted of irresponsible, resistant to assistance people. Motherhood is not a spectator sport.  There is more involved than learning Lamaze.  The [...]

Americans Against Birthers

CherrieJW | January 25, 2010

Someone once told me that Americans are like pit bulls when it comes to something we believe in. Even my favorite dim-witted Veep candidate compared and stated that the difference between a hockey mom and a pit-bull is lipstick. (Yeah, whatever. My guess would have been opposable thumbs and offspring that walked upright, but hey [...]

Once Again the Woods’ Drama

Cherrie | January 22, 2010

If I could, I would ask him two questions: 1. Did you think about the fall out and 2. Were they worth it? If they didn’t mean anything to you, that’s and even bigger insult. You ruined your family, tainted your image for nothing.

Do Not Go Gentle

CherrieJW | January 21, 2010

My twin sisters  have been spending more and more time at the hospital.   57 years -old, a stressed out smoker with a bad heart, both twin sisters had had quadruple by-passes by the time they were my age. They have always been together, moving close and fighting, moving apart and fighting even more. They live [...]

Dexter

CherrieJW | January 20, 2010

I was turned on to Dexter by my hubby one Sunday evening when I didn’t want to watch football. Now, I’m not one to praise serial killers, but the spin on this one intrigued me. A serial killer raised by a police officer who taught him how to kill without getting caught. Wow! Although, Michael [...]

More to Love

CherrieJW | January 19, 2010

My heart is filling rapidly thanks to the internet and search engines and family members who don’t hold back on family secrets and family news. One nephew reached out to contact me and sent his brother to do the same. I knew we were related immediately. The bond was there.  The look was evident.  These [...]

MLK Day

CherrieJW | January 18, 2010

I’m sure that Martin Luther King would be  proud of  the nation.  Afterall, we have a black president, members of Congress, mayors and all sorts polital figures. We can walk through the front door, eat at restaraunts, live anywhere.  In the0ry, Black people have progressed and risen above and now we’re reaching our true potential. Unfortunately, [...]

A Surprise Visit

CherrieJW | January 18, 2010

On the way to pay respects to George, Arlene, Darlene and their friend were finally on their way to St. Louis. 30 miutes of unconditional but suspicious love is more than I can handle on my birthday. It’s always to see family, even under the most unfortunate of cirumstances. But like alot of people I [...]
