Oh Lawd

These are just random thoughts from the mind of a country girl. . .



What they call dirty politics have been in the headlines for the past couple of weeks. Isn't this just politics as usual? We have become use to candidates attacking each other. The republicans are better at it, that's all. The Clinton's are master strategist. They wouldn't have been able to maintain this long if they were not. I don't think Bill or Hillary are racist. That would have come out a long time ago. What bothers me about the situation is that Obama is biting. He can't allow the Clinton's or the media to turn him into the black candidate. For all of our progress, this is still America. A black man can't and I'm sad to say, won't win that fight. The Major Issue I have with this is the old guard supporting Hillary. I know that this is America and we can support which ever candidate we choose... But DAMN! If Barack Obama's candidacy is not what the struggle is all about, then what the hell is? Somebody please tell me if I am wrong. The Andrew Young's of the world have me shaking my damn head here.



Why can't I get my tax rebate before June? You know when you mention free money (which is very rare in my life) my wheels start spinning. I need my check next week. I got some thangs to do with it. It's "free" money so I guess I shouldn't complain, but why don't I get more than the person who made $3000? This is why I feel like I have a case for not having to pay income tax. I'm single with no kids. There aren't very many if any social programs available to me. and government services would look at me like I'm crazy if I went to them. But, I'm sure the I, the R, and the S would toss my black ass, so I'll just complain and keep paying them.



It's almost time for the Superbowl. I'm not a fan of either team or any of the players for that matter. But, I'll still have a party, talk shit, drink too much and have a head ache on Monday morning. Some traditions we shouldn't break, even if the Saints had me all discombobulated all season.



I've recently been in a hair battle with myself. I decided to grow my hair out a couple of months ago. At that time it seemed like a good idea. But now, I have this mushroom / wedge thing going on and it looks horrible. I've been wearing my do short and sassy for over 10 years. I know that's a long time for a sister to wear the same do, but I like it. It may have been one of those rebellion things since I could never cut it while I was young. Thank the Lawd for weaves and wigs. Because it was taking a toll on my self esteem. I've been wearing this short, sassy bob for the past week or so. I think I'll go long next week. I'm trying to do something different, but the real deal is that I am so not a fan of long hair. And for me, long hair is anything close to my shoulders. We we just see how this goes. Maybe I will rock some twist or braids for a minute.......?
