“As journalists we often have to find new ways to tell an old story. I believe in trying to tell that story in the most powerful way I can under the limited circumstance that time brings to any assignment. I am trying to be less concerned with who I am working for and more concerned about what I am doing with my time. This is crucial period in our history on this planet and I want to feel like I am working on issues that matter beyond the sensationalism of the 24 hour news cycle.“

Marlon Jackson(Micheal Jackson's older brother)
This dude is making an amusement about slavery in Nigeria and a "Jackson 5" museum....what the hell.
This just in from the First Family of Crazy: The Jacksons. Marlon Jackson (he's the other child voice in the 1970 single "I'll Be There") has announced plans to develop a slave history theme park along with a Jackson 5 museum within a luxury resort in Nigeria.
"The development will cater to the country's growing tourism industry, particularly African-American tourists who wish to trace their Nigerian roots," according to a recent report in the U.K newspaper The Guardian. "Visitors will be able to explore the site of the former transatlantic slave trade, honour the hundreds of thousands who died in what were horrific human rights abuses, and then head off for a round of golf or a massage, before gawping at animatronic versions of the siblings who sang ABC and I Want You Back."

Friends, how many of us have them??
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson
I've come to the realization that the ones we call friends will always disappoint us. I won't go into details but the so I call friends have disappointed me, my true friends know exactly who they are, and I'm glad I have them in my life. I'm tired of trying to reconcile with the others, lol, I like that "The Others". So I see no point in trying to keep people in my life that are there to bring you down and all I can do now is surround myself with positivity. SO ALL I CAN SAY IS GO KICK ROCKS, lol!

First!!
I really feel like one of those people that think they are the first to comment on a blog or photo...they always seem to write "First" and don't even comment on the blog or the photo...yeah I know that was kinda random...but that"s what this blog is all about. I did have another blog like this, but that blog just got all screwed up, so I decided to make another. I'm sure you're wondering why I have a crossword puzzle>>>>>>>apparently that is the first crossword puzzle ever. Again RANDOM!!!!
