Things I don't understand

  •    Why white people need to assemble in stores or malls to do a flashmob and dance or sing.
  •    People who have no problem engaging in loud full-scale phone conversations on a crowded bus or train.
  •    Why Wendy Williams' tv show is so successful when she was so rude on her radio show
  •    Why this Barbadian native is being slept on when Rihanna is all over the place.
  •    Why white women on the train or bus keep asking me to stop looking so angry.
  •     The attention America gives British royalty
  •    Today  a 50- something year old black guy wearing jeans fastened with a belt just below his entire ass in which he wore Charlie Brown boxers, decided he needed to tell me about Jesus.
  •    That the Kardashians decided they needed to "release" a family Christmas card. In 3-D.
  •    What's taking Missy Elliott and D'Angelo so long to put out new music.
  •    Why people love to take but hate to give.
  •    How the North Koreans can pretend to be in mourning after the death of their dictator who caused them to starve. They don't even have electricity (as seen from the satellite image below).

11 things I didn't know last week






                 1.  Ethiopia has its own calendar, and the current year is 2003

                 2.  When I speak Canadian French, people from Quebec understand, but people from  France have no  idea what I am saying. And when I speak French, people from France understand, but people from Quebec have no  idea what I am saying.

                 3.  Wal-Mart, Target and KMart, and I, were all born in 1962.

                 4.  Ray Charles had 12 kids.


                 5.  Wendy Raquel Robinson has run a school for 14 years; click here

                 6.  Lebron James couldn't live up to the hype.


                 7.  The Wisconsin high court would reinstate a contentious law that curbs the collective bargaining  rights of most state employees.


                 8.  A D'angelo song I never heard before

                9.   That I'm thisclose to  terminating my Twitter account today. It's a waste of time, and I don't care to know if someone just ate  the best cheeseburger in Johannesburg today or found a parking spot at a mall in Denver.

              10.   That I really can do the work of 2 people, and quicker ( a coworker went on  medical leave last week  for 5-6 weeks and I have to do her work and my own).

              11.   The roadblocks that upset me and make me want to give up always seem to be not as serious  as I thought it would be, a few days later. Sometimes they end up being nothing worth worrying about.
