It was a creed written into the founding documents

that declared the destiny of a nation.

Yes we can.

It was whispered by slaves and abolitionists

as they blazed a trail toward freedom.

Yes we can. Yes we can.

It was sung by immigrants

as they struck out from distant shores

and pioneers who pushed westward

against an unforgiving wilderness.

Yes we can. Yes we can.

It was the call of workers who organized;

women who reached for the ballots;

a President who chose the moon as our new frontier;

and a King who took us to the mountain-top

and pointed the way

to the Promised Land.

Yes we can to justice and equality.

(yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can...)

Yes we can to opportunity and prosperity.

Yes we can to opportunity and prosperity.

Yes we can heal this nation.

Yes we can repair this world.

Yes we can.

Si Se Puede

(yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can...)

We know the battle ahead will be long,

but always remember that no matter what obstacles stand in our way,

nothing can stand in the way

of the power of millions of voices

calling for change.

We want change!

(We want change! We want change! We want change...)

We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics

who will only grow louder and more dissonant.

We've been asked to pause for a reality check.

We've been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope.

But in the unlikely story that is America,

there has never been anything false

about hope.

We want change!

(We want change! I want change! We want change! I want change...)

The hopes of the little girl who goes to a crumbling school in Dillon

are the same as the dreams of the boy who learns on the streets of LA;

we will remember that there is something

happening in America;

that we are not as divided as our politics suggests;

that we are one people;

we are one nation;

and together, we will begin the next great chapter

in America's story

with three words that will ring

from coast to coast;

from sea to shining sea -

Yes. We. Can.

(yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can...)

I prefer guys who are tall and bald, but most importantly, his conversation should have substance and depth; come at me with something other than sex...and please, please, please live on THIS continent!!

Don't waste my time, I won't waste yours.

I am a heterosexual female NOT interested in experimentation...no exceptions. I don't need to try everything to know how I DON'T flow. Thank you for RESPECTING my PREFERENCE.

Wassup Planet. Look, let's do this...I'm not interested in being anyone's bootycall nor am I interested in changing any diapers so please, if you don't get my meaning, 

BUY A CLUE...

Whenever you think you're better than someone; if you think you're above someone; if you look down on someone, remember the Jena 6.

Everybody plays a fool sometime.

On March 27, 2009 I decided to

stop playing the fool.

Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons,
they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs;
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals;
and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself.
Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment
it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace with your soul.

With all its shame, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.

Max Ehrmann, Desiderata, 1927

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
