<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt"><FONT face=Calibri size=6>-Hey fellow soupers it’s been awhile since I’ve posted anything worth a look or two. I’ve been out of my game with my time management skills lately. (It happens to the best of us) </FONT></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt"><FONT face=Calibri size=6>-But recently it seems I got my mojo back, started back working on the novel, started back writing poetry, got over young lady who played me like a was a video game, reading, exercising and finally got a job.(never thought I’d get a job so synchronizing with my chaotic schedule.)</FONT></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt"><FONT face=Calibri><FONT size=6><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp;</SPAN>-James is back and improved, and I must say just feeling real blessed to be.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp;&nbsp; </SPAN>Blessed to be alive.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp; </SPAN>Blessed to be in college.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp;&nbsp; </SPAN>Blessed to have family.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp;&nbsp; </SPAN>Blessed to be in America.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp; </SPAN>Just blessed to be…</FONT></FONT></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt"><FONT face=Calibri><FONT size=6>-Still trying to find time to get all the things I want to get done, but I’m pretty sure that will happen in time.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp; </SPAN>I’ve been smothered in school work and lost in the aisle of the library since the first day of this semester.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp; </SPAN></FONT></FONT></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt"><FONT face=Calibri size=6>-Finally getting into my major classes, I’ve been kinda in what I refer to is barbarian caveman mood.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp; </SPAN>Studying countless hours, eating occasionally, exercising when I can, then start back working and more working.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp; </SPAN>(spare time is a blessing around these parts, but it aint nothing I can’t handle, hell I haven’t had any breaks all my life, probably wouldn’t know what to do with an easy rode if they paved one for me)</FONT></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt"><FONT face=Calibri size=6>-When I get the chance I browse around on the soup and I must say I’ve been very astonished by the writing I’ve seen.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp; </SPAN>Seems like poets are taking it to that next level.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp; </SPAN>(Time for me to find my place in the movement)<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp; </SPAN>also noticed its a lot more activity and poets actively posting.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp; </SPAN>That’s always good to see</FONT></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt"><FONT face=Calibri><FONT size=6>-Don’t really have much to say in a political aspect.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp; </SPAN>Now the election is over and Obama is officially President Obama i’m just ready to get things moving and see some results.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp; </SPAN>I read in article in the NY time about him signing doc. to shut down Guantanamo. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp;&nbsp;</SPAN></FONT></FONT></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt"><FONT face=Calibri size=6>Kinda got mixed emotions about that just name a few</FONT></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt"><FONT face=Calibri size=6>------ Never really cared for Guantanamo because its one of the few places in America that have free health care &amp; a great meal plan (I’ve always kinda looked at it like so you can give terrorist free health care and meals but you cant give poverty stricken children and Americans health care &amp; meals. . . always threw me for a loop</FONT></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt"><FONT face=Calibri size=6>------In the article it states that some prisoners might return to the home countries to finish serving their sentences.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp; </SPAN>(pretty sure they’ll go back and be welcomed like hero’s but who knows)</FONT></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt"><FONT face=Calibri size=6>--------On a good note some shutting down the site saves some money and justice </FONT></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt"><FONT face=Calibri size=6>------ America won’t catch crap from the UN about our unethical torture techniques use in Guantanamo</FONT></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt"><FONT face=Calibri size=6>------- But on the down side if we do away with all methods to get info what if we did catch Osama(we defiantly couldn’t get info out of him over a warm glass of milk in cookies</FONT></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt"><FONT face=Calibri><FONT size=6>Seems like the Obama administrations heart is in the right place by reading the article, to do away with Bush’s inhumane BS that causes havoc to the US people.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp; </SPAN></FONT></FONT></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt"><FONT face=Calibri size=6>Try giving the article a look and telling me what you think.</FONT></P> <P>&nbsp;</P>

Date: 1/30/2009 5:07:00 PM Glad you have your MOJO back! As with all political hot buttons there aren't any easy answers. I don't have them. Since I don't plan on running for any office, I guess that's OK. I still take me citizenship seriously and pray that the country will be better off in the end for all its stuggles. Thank you for sharing this thought provoking piece with us. And yes, you do have your MOJO back!!!!! God bless. Karen Login to Reply

Derrick Burton Date: 1/28/2009 11:17:00 AM Great politics and out look to situations that seem to be touchy topic. Most americans are so patriotic they only see the what they what to see, and usually it lays along the lines of, what ever it takes to win. We always believe our point of view is the right view because we throw God in the sauce of our wrong doing. I believe war is mandatory when it threatens national security and americans lifes, but it slowly strays away from the cause and into a revenge and greed session then thats when we become the bad guys. Most have children in the war as well as friends etc. Those good folks will never understand. Have a blessed day. Login to Reply

Debbie Guzzi Date: 1/25/2009 1:23:00 PM You don't torture people and still get to call yourself the good guys. Would you want children to have to get waterboarded so they could get a physical & food so they could get healthy enough to torture some more? Also, they get sent back, is the assumtion they squealed? I think that would get them killed by there side. They're innocent & sent back, we save money & look a bit less like rich cowboy a--holes Pondering Justice Debbie Login to Reply

Vince Suzadail Jr. Date: 1/25/2009 10:46:00 AM Hey!! I work with kids that had similar childhoods. You'd be quite an inspiration to them. I'm still ppissed that they don't screen foster parents like they do kids. About 30 years ago, my first boss at the youth advocate office convinced me that if you hang onto a kid long enough, you'll have a successful child because they won't have the excuse that people gave up on them so they can too. Foster parents who want perfect foster children need to adopt puppies instead of using the system as a source of income. That you can be so positive says a lot about your character. God Bless. Great to have you aboard. Vince Login to Reply
