Tragic news again came today on the Rodney King saga. He was found drowned in his home swimming pool in California. If you remember back in March 3, 1991, he was pulled over by the LAPD police dept. for drunken driving. He had been recently released from jail and was on parole. Of course he was riding in a white car. This one was a Hyundai.
Rodney King with his high profile beating at the hands of 4 white police officers was pushed into the worldwide spotlight and his name has always stayed in the conscious minds of the world, even 21 years 3 months and 15 days to this date. Today is June 18, 2012.
He stood for so many things. Hopelessness, another unemployed minority, a criminal background, driving while black and the list can go on and on. All he wanted for everybody he once said was to, " Can't we all just get along." There is much you can say about this man that comes along with conversation pro and con. I'm sure there is as many people on both sides of the seesaw. One thing you can say is anyone who saw that brutal beating he took on March 3, 1991, the video will forever stay embedded in the minds of everyone who saw it, forever.
Rodney King has gone on into infamy along with others before him in the civil rights movement. Not on purpose but accidently because he was in the right place at the wrong time.

Muhammad Ali Turns 70 years old.
The Greatest Muhammad Ali turned 70 years 0ld in January 2012 of this year. If anyone can remember the greatest dancing like a bumble bee and swinging just as fast, you saw a fight you will never forget. He was boastful and very outspoken too. He was colorful and spoke with intellectual gust. Yes he never had a lost of words and high drama always followed him as well. Just turn back the hands of time and reach back in the past. Read read all about Ali. Don't take my word for it.
Good luck champ. You are truly the greatest. Happy Birthday!

Trayvon Martin - Poster Child for Florida's What Stand Your Ground Law Does Not Stand For.
Here is another young child whose life was sniffed out wrongly. I can name children across the world who have been murdered. However the latest child that has America in such an uproar is Trayvon Martin. A 17 year old child out of Miami Fla. who was visiting his father's fiancee house over the weekend of Febuary 26, 2012 and ended up shot to death.
Now nobody truly knows the exact facts leading up to this death except 2 people. Trayvon Martin and the neighborhood security guard George Zimmerman. Those facts we think we know unless there is another eyewitness that has not come forward yet. Martin can't talk and Zimmerman won't talk. So the Sanford Fla. police department must come up with the answers. Results-- pending.
Meanwhile many parents in America that have male children are heatbroken for the parents in this tragedy. This child, as it appears was only trying to get back home from a assumed neighborhood store, after a purchase of food items. By the way, does the store where Trayvon bought the candy and drink have film of him being there? Mr. Zimmerman felt he had to take the law in his own hands for the 48th plus time in less than 18 months of consistently calling the police department, about suspicious persons walking around the neighborhood. He was not professionally qualified, as an, armed security guard, to do that job, in the first place. He could not qualify for a real cop, because of a personality profile test failure that are given to all police want to be's.
Now since this is a media frenzy, Sanford Fla. will have to prove they are a city that welcomes all races of people and fairly treats all with equality. This is an on-going investigation that must come to a speedy conclusion soon. Otherwise this city must be prepared for more escalation and total confusion mounting on the streets. The police chief as of this writing has temporily stepped down. I want this problem to go away, not with a cover up, but out from under cover.

It's A New Day!!!!
Hey Everyone I got something to tell ya. I am one of the next biggest people to procrastinate around. Its like I start out in a circle but only make it around three quarters. Always talking about what I am going to do and I go on and on about much ado about everything the air brings to me and guess what. At the end of the day, its the same old story. Nothing gets done. You know. Same old story ending. Year after Year.
There are thousands of me.
So I am not going to make any excuses anymore. I am just going to write and I know you will enjoy reading what I write down in print. You see. I am one of those gifted writers who keep falling in the invisible holes in the floor boards. And that action word named motivation keeps eluding me just at the right time. Consistently Always.
So stay tuned and see what I do......... This is my first print for the new year 2012. Stay tuned.
Oh and by the way. Happy Belated New Year.

Osama Bin Laden Killed.
Public and world enemy Number 1 is dead. Now the rest of his moles should fall down like dominoes. With his capture it was also reported all computers and software was also confiscated. That information will prove priceless. Interesting where he was located. Approximately 90 miles from Islamabad on the N35 road in a small resort town named Abbottabad(hope I spelled that town correctly) Pakistian. He was reportedly in a mansion. Not under-ground in a mountain as most people believed. He was living in plain sight in a summer resort town under a high fenced area. The USA intelligence was given a tip in August of 2011 and followed up on that tip judicially.
Osama Bin Laden was killed 9 years, 20 months and 7 days to the date of the 9/11/2001 tragedy in New York, New York World Trade tragedy. This infomation was retrieved from the news wires of ABC News at approximately 11:35pm EST, May 1, 2011.

Middle East Mess
Hello Everyone - I'm back.
Can you believe it. We - the USA is now embroiled into yet another new war. This time Libya. We just can't keep our hands out of other people's business. I guess we USA feels he ( Colonel Moammar Gadhifi's) is a threat to our safety or something like that. I guess we think he is a terrorist too. I wander how much his oil wells are worth to us? Is that why we want to bring him down?
This country has enough oil to last the entire population at least 10 + years if we enforce the rule of no more than 2 family cars can fill up every 3 days. So I wander what is the true reasons why all the middle eastern regions leaders are falling down like dominoes right now. I also wonder why we can't seem to catch the biggest fish of all. The mole tied to Saudi Arabia - Bin Laden. If he is brought down - now you get the whole operation of main characters. Why can't we find him??? To be continued......

Hello all,
Thanksgiving day is soon approaching and I have something really important to say. If you are following me, then please understand my delayed writing style. Most of the gaps in publishing is due to my lack of motivation to get busy writing and the other gap in writing is due to me wanting you to absorb the messages I am putting out there for you to read. Deep as they may read - the message is clear and precise. The good message behind each post is that you can read each one daily and always stay ahead of conflict when you absorb my communications in writing.
This sets the stage for today's blog on greed and deceitfulness It always catches up with you in the worse ways. You can fool some of the people some of the time but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time!!!!!! A man just walks up to me and starts talking. Here is what he had to say. By the way, I was at the mall in the food court when this information was exchanged with me. I found this information so compelling until I knew this was my next blog. So now I am sharing it with you.
Take for instance this story I am about to share with you. A stranger off the streets came and shared this with me this week. I was minding my own business and he just starts talking. And now I am going to share with you the story about deceit. It's called The Window.
There were once 2 men, both seriously ill, in the same small room of a great hospital. Quite a small room, it had one window looking out to the world. One of the men as part of his treatment, was allowed to sit up in bed for 1 hour in the afternoon (something to do with draining the fluid from his lungs) His bed was next to the window. But the other man had to spend his entire day flat on his back.
Every afternoon when the man next to the window was propped up for his hour, he would pass the time by describing what he could see outside. The window apparently overlooked a park where there was a lake.
There were ducks and swans in the lake, and children came to throw them bread and sail model boats. Young lovers walked hand in hand beneath the trees, and there were flowers and stretches of grass, games and games of softball. And at the back, behind the fringe trees, was a fine view of the city skyline.
The man on his back would listen to the other man describe all of this, enjoying every minute. He heard how a child nearly fell into the lake, and how beautiful girls were in their summer dresses. His friend's descriptions eventually made him feel he could almost see what was happening outside.
Then one fine afternoon, the thought struck him. Why should the man next to the window have all the pleasure 0f seeing what was going on? Why shouldn't he get the chance? He felt ashamed, but the more he tried not to think like that, the worse he wanted a change. He'd do anything!! One night as he stared at the ceiling, the other man suddenly woke up, coughing, choking, his hands groping for the button that would bring the nurse running. But the man watched without moving---even when the sound of breathing stopped. In the morning.,the nurse found the other man dead, and quietly took his body away.
As soon as it sounded decent, the man asked if he could be switched to the bed next to the window. So they moved him, and tucked him, and made him quite comfortable. The minute they left, he propped himself up on one elbow,painfully and laboriously, and looked out the window.
It faced a blank wall.
