Food Stamps

There was a time I think it might have been during high school. We where on food stamps, and it was not like it is today on the card they give you. It came in a pack printed like money but only on one side. Then it was called the new money. 

What I remember about food stamps is when I was trapped across town at the mall I could get back home with one food stamp. 

You go to the store buy 25 cent pack of gum and the change left over got you him on the bus.

Those where humbling times it is to bad kids today can't experience what those us experance do in the 80's. 

Meditation Museum

It was summer of 2009 I had just started working for a video production company that makes video profiles of business. It was in Silver Spring, Maryland after a month of working on two restraints to sign them.
After my meeting I walk down the street looking for another business to sign up I saw the Meditation Museum. Thought to my self let me try this place it is different than a restraint.   

I walked in and felt something just run down my back. I walked up the stairs the first person I meet was sister Geta. I told her what I was doing she then took me into sister Jenna. I gave my pitch for this video program and thirty minutes later she signed up and she said she had event that weekend to video. After our talk she said if I stick around she would help me with my confidence. So I've been there ever since. The experience of being where I am at in my spiritual gave me a new outlook on life and a better understand of unconditional love.

Reces Pennut Butter Cups

For the past few years it is part of my routine to stop at the convent store and get Reese's Peanut Butter Cups four pack and a Dr. Pepper. Some times I would mix it up getting a Coke.
There are times when the store does not have the four pack so I would get the two pack. I don't like the two pack they taste different I don't know why.
Is it a different batches or recipe it just taste different to me.   

Ethiopian Women

The one thing that interesting to me the most in life is diversity how any people form different walks of life different cultures can come together and work together. The best example of this is the Macy's in Tyson Corner, Virginia during the holiday season.
I worked there stocking the floor and every night unloading the trucks. There where guys from almost every culture in the work at the loading dock. When a group of guys get together the one thing they talk about is women. So the discussion what country had the most beautiful women.

Every one had pointe out different types of women European, Asian, African, South Pacific and it went on every one making a point of why these different women where the most beautiful. Every time some one brings up a nationality of women and makes their point every one would agree.

There was one tall Ethiopian guy came out of the back of the truck and he argued the point the Ethiopian women where the most beautiful, but even when we agreed with his he continued to argue that they were the most beautiful over all. He just would not shut up about it.

So I told him your right Ethiopian women are the most beautiful, but the men are the ugliest in the world.    

Coffee as a kid

In the early 80's my parents had me in a privet school and it was a struggle on my parents and my self. I feel to this day I should have never been there, but when I think back on my life would my life had been any better who knows.

Most my education in this school with limited to being bullied by other students as well as some of the teachers. The combination between having dyslexia and being bullied caused me to have depression. My parents sent me to psychologist two different ones that I remember. One had me in hospital for almost a month and the other suggested that I drink coffee.

So once a day a teacher took me to the kitchen at the school and had me drink a cup of coffee with honey. I don't know what that did if any thing.
It was strange to be the one kid with coffee breath. It is one thing to be the brown noising kid that knows all the answers and is the teacher's pet. But for the other kids to think I am on a coffee break with the teacher and that is why I am not at recess. 

George Bush hates penguins

Kanye West got the BET Honor for entertainment we all know that Kanye acts out. What we have to understand is that some time he speak or act out because of emotion. But from seeing him at the honors was surprising from the person we see from time to time on TMZ and other tabloids. He is passionate about his art and his work which we all should do in our jobs.

There is one Kanye moment that stands out to me the most that he spoke more out of emotion before really thinking about it. It was the Katrina fund raiser when he and Mike Mires where reading from a TelePrompTer imploring people to help with funds for those who lost every thing in the hurricane. I don't remember what Mike said today who even knows after what Kanye said after him he said "George Bush hates black people." what maid that funny was the look on Mikes face when he said that.

Years later as I thought about it that moment became the base for a joke that I don't want to waste so I am putting it in this blog post and here it is.

Kanye West got it wrong when he said George Bush hates black people, he really hates penguins a animal that call it's self a bird and can't fly is really arrogant.
