Albums to 'die' for...

I love music. I mainly prefer Reggae out of all. My next best is souls music.I will provide a list of ten of my 'desert island' albums along with link to the artists.If I should be 'stranded' anywhere, I would love to have the following Reggae albums with me. Rebulution by Tanya Stephens- http://music.aol.com/album/rebulution/1044295; In the Streets to Africa by Richie Spice-http:/shop.mixtapekings.com/richie_spice_s/206.htm,and From Kingston to King of the Dancehall: A Collection of Dancehall Favorites by Beenie Man -http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/beenie_man/albums.jhtml?albumId=862348. These albums help me to keep close to my roots. Being that I am from Jamaica, I love these artistes and when I listen to their music I can dance and just be free! These albums also have songs with some comical content, which when I listen I can laugh and just forget about some of my problems. One of our mostly used 'motto' in Jamaica is ' no problem.' The album by Richie Spice has many songs which I listen to oftentimes just to meditate. This artist composes many 'deep' songs which help me to connect with my inner self sometimes.Tanya Stephens' album is about 'rude girl' and 'hardcore' loving. She can very graphic in her songs , and I love it! Wherever I listen to these Reggae albums I can feel at home and be relaxed.
My next 'desert island' album is Hero by Kirk Franklin-http://www.amazon.com/Hero-Kirk-Franklin/dp/B000AOJ9XA/ref=pd_sim_m_4.I am very much aware that there is a supreme being and so I like to listen to this album as it helps to keeps me on my spiritual side. When I listen to this album I just sing along and be calm. I usually listen to this album on Sunday mornings or in times when I am feeling revengeful or in mourning.Listening to this album,reminds to forgive and to be hopeful.
My other 'desert island' albums are The Greatest Hits by Whitney Houston-www.whitneyhouston.com, Growing Pains by Mary J. Blige- www.mjblige.com, If I Ain't Got You by Alicia Keys-www.starpulse.som/Music/Keys,_Alicia, Get Lifted by John Legend- www.johnlegend.com.,When a Woman Loves by Patti Labelle-www.imdb.com/name/nm0479458 and Marvin Gaye's Greatest Hits by Marvin Gaye-www.marvingayepage.net. When I listen to these albums they give me a sense of love and keep adrenaline flowing as I continue to think about my other half ( my husband). These albums help to get us in the 'mood' and help me to get our adult side of life on the continuos side.These albums I listen to also give me 'peace of mind.' These albums help to relax and also to meditate.
Go ahead and check these out and see how well they will make you feel! Yes, seriously, break away a little from the Beyonce, Rhianna, Lil Wayne, Rock and such .... Try some Reggae! Dance your legs to life!

Just IS! (How is the legal system in America?)

Why did take so long to convict Mr Seale if he was guilty? This ex KKK person is believed to have killed two black teenagers back in 1964. Why has his case been off for so long and then reappearing in 2007? What the heck is going in America's legal system? Why was he in jail for a year without proper trials? What kinds of messages is the American legal system sending to people? What about th ekey witness? Why wasn't he probed? Why has the defense lawyer and others not look into his stories a little deeper? It appears to me that evidence of this case was either covered or not sought out enough. Are these lawyers afraid or are they feeling pity for Mr Seale because he is now ill? I SMELL CORRUPTION! USA proclaimed itself the 'land of freedom' ,huh! Yet it has the most dishonest, crooked, and dangerous legal system of any developed nation. Corruption is like a blanket covering America. Though this corruption in American legal system is well known , it is also well hidden, especially by the news services of America's corporate-owned media. Why?
Are th elawyers in the American legal system controlled by the judges?Are they really working for the people who choose to use them? Does the 'right' to lawyer means that the judges really care about the rights of the accused? I don't think so. Most of the court proceedings in American courts appears to me to be fake. Do the police and the prosecuters in America care at all whether they arrest innocent people? I didn't think so either. Is there a race in the the American legal system to bring about their 'high conviction rate?'
The American legal system leads to confused, fearful citizens who are gullible to propaganda. American legal system could be be deemed a nightmare! I am waiting to hear what will become of this Mr Seale (ex KKK) story. Sometimes I am so sorry for the victims of this system. I don't condone crime in any way but I believe trials ought to be real and fair. The problem is the system has been corrupt for so long. Wonder if it could change. And then I woke up... sorry, I was dreaming.

Cancer Hub

Achoo! Achoo! Ahem!Cough Cough!Why is it smokers tend to just decide to smoke everywhere? Really now, not all beings can tolerate cigarettes and what ever else smokers smoke. There a particular area at the particular university that I attend which I termed the 'Cancer Hub'.Reason being is that this area is ALWAYS packed with young and old folks just smoking their lives away. Okay, fine if you choose to die this way or 'destress' this way but what about those who have to use the area for other reasons.
This is such a wonder place where students can sit and study or should be able to wait in 'fresh' air for the start of class. People come on, no one is telling you how not to harm your health, but this area is central and could be easily termed a passage way where students and tutors use to get to and from classes. Yea, go ahead and tell me to choose another route. I really wish I could, even better, I wish I could fly!
Seriously now, some folks are affected with asthma, sinusitis or other illnesses which are easily affected by the smell of smoke. I am not sure if this area is a designated smoking area ( if it is, pardon me). If it is not, then I pray that the proper authority one day soon do something about this. It's very unhealthy and also promotes some aspects of slackness.Is that smokers will die if they don't get a regular dose of smoking each hour or so? I am only curious because at the rate I see some smokers do it; it appears as if they will die without! Smoking kills! Yes, it does. Do not give that crap about; 'oh yea, I am gonna die anyway.' Why die any faster? or live unhealthily when you have the choice to be clean and fit.
I wish you all the best if you decide not to stop but in the meantime I will try to see how best I can survive while going through this 'CANCER hub'.Also, This smoking trend appears to me to be a fashion statement these days. Many young people are just doing it like the other favorite and best thing (s..).The second some folks leave a class session,library or wherever, they just pop one in one. Is it an addiction or just style? I don't want to be addicted to anything and I am happy I am not too into fashion. No, I am NOT perfect or anything near to that but I like it when humans take care of their bodies and their environment. Is that too much to ask? I wish we could all come together and close down all the 'cancer hubs'.
Here is a short story which is true. I used to visit a particularly health center in Decatur quite often and there is an old man I often see outside smoking. He always stood in front of the building with the big sign that says, 'Cancer Society and Treatment.'(coincidence, huh) Then, I realized that he was actually going there for treatment each time I see him! Maybe his cancer was not from smoking but at least he could try to limit the chances? What's your take?

Election '08 $@%&*

Honestly, I am not very interested in politics. However, there are certain things ocurring this year where election is concerned so I decide to focus a wee bit.As far as I can see, Republicans are for th ecountry on a whole while the Democrats are for special issues. McCain appears to be camoflaged to me. I like Obama but not his party. McCain has been focusing on Obama's inexperience while Obama is focusing on McCain continuing G.Bush's legacy. The Republicans are always using the high moral ground and the Democrats are using Obama's popularity.
The primary issues in this election are about the recession America is facing, the war in Iraq, and the high gas prices.What can the government do about the recession. Not much, I think. They do not own the businesses. How can we end the war in Iraq? The only good I see with this war is that is it providing many jobs for some Americans. Yes, there are many other humans there from America apart from soldiers(electricians, aviation technicians, cooks, medical personnel, truck drivers, etc). I agree it is dangerous, so let us see what we can do to get the present or new government to get all our family members and friends home.
My wish is that these folks who are running for positions in the White House to focus on real issues and not just talk. I hope they all have plans in place to combat the issues they talk about. I am so anxious to know who will be the next president of America because Barack Obama is certainly...(please pardon me, I'm out of ink?). I'll finish this sentence in the near future.
