Before you knew you owned it by Alice Walker
Expect nothing. Live frugally
On surprise.
become a stranger
To need of pity
Or, if compassion be freely
Given out
Take only enough
Stop short of urge to plead
Then purge away the need.
Wish for nothing larger
Than your own small heart
Or greater than a star;
Tame wild disappointment
With caress unmoved and cold
Make of it a parka
For your soul.
Discover the reason why
So tiny human midget
Exists at all
So scared unwise
But expect nothing. Live frugally.
On surprise.

BIGGIE_4_OBAMA
Because she will not let us miss her and she knows she is overexposed but if she takes a break someone, Ciara, will step into the void and she will not get it back……double edge sword in todays world of short attention spans.
remember when r&b people made a new album every 2-3 years? now its less than a year for some of them

Here's the video, but I can't inbed the actual link.

SPEAK truth to power Craig!
Myth
Justice, he seems pretty skeered!

When she's on stage, she's in the “ZONE” She aint “fraid' ta fall!

I was watching the video. It's just beautiful having someone who can take WHATEVER one of those kids say and turn into a good point. Like when she was asking for suggestions or reiterating what she had said previously. Truly, I think that's a talent – most people aren't that quick and articulate.
Myth
YYYeah,Yeah, she kinda overtalks the questions with irrelevant “fluff”!!
She likes my man Mike Jackson though, maybe she can bring him home.
spirit_55z
I hope innocent folk don't get hurt.
Maybe they can call Sean Hannity to help them put out the fires. That nutjob said he'd volunteer to be waterboarded for charity. Turn the HYDRANT on that Mofo.
Justice58
Yes,
Dick Cheney is making more appearances than I've ever seen. Now he is trotting out his daughter. She & Norah O'Donnell were going at it.
Myth
Not erybody, remember all those albums Diana Ross used to make a year. Then you had Whitney Houston, the remake queen. They blazed the trail…
Justice58
He did already. I heard on MSNBC this morning he had requested help from FEMA.
Humph, guess he wants Government help after-all?
Justice58
He did already!
Justice58
If I am correct….
Keith Olbermann challenged him to do it at $1000 for every second he can last.
Myth
JJP, y'all just over here jibber jabbering about stuff…there ain't no real news happening now. Collect yo thoughts and hold onto 'em until next week when our first AA POTUS smashes the 100-days record. It's gonna be on and popping next week. (Chest stuck out prouder than Jan 21). OUR AA POTUS!

Norah was taking lessons from Shep. I thought she was going to slap Liz Cheney. She was seething!
spirit_55z
I saw that. SOB wouldn't last a second.
Sanford and the rest of the GOP ilk are sinking like the TITANIC!
spirit_55z
What? Details!
isonprize
Oh, NOW he wants federal dollars???
If it weren't for the fact the innocent people may get hurt, I wouldn't advocate sending him not one damn dime. Rat bastard…
spirit_55z
I remember when Whitney, Anita and Sade appeared on the scene at the same time. I couldn't get enough of them! Sweet stuff.

EVENING OPEN THREAD IS UP!!

This one just proves to me that he is a real dad. Cool, but nerdy at the same time. Too funny…

I just said the same thing in my living room after re-watching that on the Internet.
Nora look like she was bout to pull some Vaseline from under the desk and take her rings off.
Justice58
rotflmao!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Desperation, baby. Desperation.
I hope they put that fucker UNDER the jail.
http://leftistmoon.wordpress.com Wordsmith
Turn the HYDRANT on that Mofo.
There it is…
Justice58
lol
Hell Yeah, she was. Norah kept coming! She.wouldn't.let.up.!

The banks are going to kill the economy as we know it.
Not that that's a bad thing because our economy as we know it is based on bullshit.
But I feel for the millions of families who will have to suffer while we try to rebuild an economy based on tangibles.
Justice58
Craig,
I had to stop what I was doing to see that fight. I just knew Norah was gonna smack her! lol
isonprize
I always wondered if Mrs. Robinson had a lil summin' summin' back in Chicago. I mean, she's a good looking older woman. Why wouldn't she since her husband passed on more than a few years ago…
She wanted to make sure folks weren't all up in her bizbag…
Justice58
MSNBC Reported this morning that Sanford had requested help from FEMA! All of that bullshit talk & he had to ask for help.
Wonder what crow taste like?
isonprize
Myrtle Beach Wildfire; South Carolina State of Emergency

crispety crackers.
Justice58
LOLOLOL
spirit_55z
ROTFLMBAO!!!
spirit_55z
It was an intense exchange. Liz Cheney came to spew the LIES and wasn't going to STFU until she regurgitated all of it. It was disgustingly transparent.
Remeber Joe Biden said that Cheney was the most dangerous VP in American history. Joe knows.
soulsistah02
I wonder if Sanford would be begging for government funds if Florence was burning to a crisp.
soulsistah02
Amen to that, Spirit!
soulsistah02
LMAO!!!!!
