Look at what President Barack..oops I mean Mubarak..my bad..has caused in Egypt. People are going crazy over their but you can't blame them for protesting and fighting for freedom and democracy. Wouldn't you fight for freedom if your government was not doing what is needed and you have nothing left to lose because the government has taken everything from you including your freewill and freedom? Comment this blog and share your toughts and opinions.

"Yes I'm a Mom and No my Life isn't Over Yet"
This statement is what many good moms have had to tell themselves when feeling pressured by the demands of society acceptance. Its true that after you become a mom, your priorities change and your children should always come first but there is no such thing as a perfect stay at home mommy wife. Besides not every woman is blessed to have a father for their children who is around and helps provide for the children.
Some single mothers are faced with the demands of society, providing for their children financially and emotionally, and struggling to find themselves so that they can find happiness. Other mothers are still married but life is even more difficult because they live life as a single mother providing for their children because the husband refuses to lift a finger to help raise or provide for his own children but rather makes unrealistic demands. The fact that this type of mother should leave the husband is another issue that not many people understand because we have been conditioned to judge and blame the women for putting up with injustice from certain circumstances.
In some countries such as South Korea, single moms are looked down upon and some are even forced to give up their babies for adoption for fear of what society might think of them. This is far from how families live in America since they have accepted the rapid growth of single parent families. What hasn't changed yet is the perception of women as mothers and what needs to be done to fulfill society acceptance. We tend to forget that being a mother is a part of a woman but not what defines a woman as a person. Mothers are human too and they have dreams to fulfill, places to go, and careers to be advanced. In other words, Mothers just like any other person, want to be successful and being a mother should not stop anyone from pursuing their dreams.
Women as mothers shouldn't be looked down upon for wanting to have certain careers such as music, singing, poetry, business, or even rapping. It is believed that the heart of the family and what keeps it strong is a woman then wouldn't it make sense to keep the heart (woman) happy to keep the family strong. Woman can do it all and they can still raise their children successfully as long as their is a strategy plan that will benefit the whole family. If mom is happy and successful, the children will be happier..Trust me!!!

THE SIMPLER DAYZ
Wow!! Time passes by so fast. I long for the days when life was simpler when I was a kid. Time seemed to pass by slower and people hardly looked at clocks. I can still go back in my mind and smell the green fresh grass and the warm breeze hitting my skin as I peddled my bike to the middle of nowhere. Music, poetry, and nature were what made me happy.
Growing up I didn’t even have cable or a phone sometimes and my parents didn’t even own a vehicle but life was good. I would wake up early Saturday mornings and watch my favorite local TV show with an antenna. I would record music with friends and cousins on a small boom box recorder (no microphones...lol...couldn’t afford it), write some parody music just for fun and some poetry and the rest of the day would be spent on reading, writing, and nature bike rides, La Chalupa, basketball, etc. with friends and family in the warm breezy sunny days in Hoopeston, IL. (Where I spent half of my childhood) I remember music used to be for fun now it seems like a business and that isn’t fun. In fact, everything today seems to be a business or about money. We depend so much on technology that we have lost ourselves throughout this process of advancement and it’s not only in music creation but in everyday life. We create the illusion that we are free yet we have too many control tools that control our behaviors, thoughts, and actions. How can we be free if we can’t be ourselves? But then again who are we?
We have been conditioned to believe that we need to make everything about business, money, fame, and power and the way to obtained this is if we conform to the standards of today’s lifestyle of corporate America. Except this lifestyle belief has little to do with talent, passion, education, and dreams but everything to do with looks, money, fame, and power and what you’re willing to do to get there. So basically if you’re talented, educated, and passionate about what you do you’re basically screwed unless you adhere to their standards but that’s only if we conform to their way of thinking. But who are THEY telling us what to think, how to feel, what the people want. I think it’s about time we went back to our roots and take back what belonged to us all along, our dreams, our thoughts, our creativity, and just being happy with who we were before all this technology created by the elite took control of our life. Let’s bring back what’s real!
