History In The Making!

Nimrata "Nikki" Randhawa Haley was sworn in as the first woman governor in the history of South Carolina.  The former governor Jim Sanford watched along the sidelines as the first non-white governor took the reigns of control.  I wonder how this will play out since she was supported by the Tea Party.  This will be very interesting and I don’t think she will be supportive of state employees and the under-represented.  I still believe that she has higher aspirations as did our former governor who gave it all up for his Argentinean lover.

Snow In South Carolina!

In fact, snow covered the entire Southeast except Florida.  Then ice came later.  From Monday, January 10, 2011 even up to now January 12, 2011, snow is still on the ground.  It’s just covered with a ¼ inch sheet of ice.  The temperatures haven’t warmed up enough to melt it completely, just enough to turn it water to refreeze at night.  Over 2,600  auto crashes were reported during this time.  The children have been out of school, too!  It looks like they’ll get Thursday off due to black ice on some of the roadways.

Isaac Hayes - Walk on By

Sometimes I ask for too much, too quickly. As the saying goes, “Be careful for what you ask for, you might get what you want.” And what you get might not be what you want in the long run. If I stand back, it will seem that I’m withdrawn and aloof. If I jump in, I’m aggressive and too forward. I’m fighting too hard in the name of commitment. Finding that medium will be a task because being a centrist might be viewed with more caution. I do know that it is difficult to accept someone and at the same time wonder if their spirit is in-sync with yours. Maybe sitting on the sidelines might not be that bad after all. One thing is for sure, pride can get in the way. Pride can do you in. It was foolish of me to think that I could change your heart from someone who never left and to think that I could.

Jerry Butler I Need To Belong (To Someone)

You got to add some old school at one time or another.  It might as well be Jerry Butler.

Annie Lennox – Why?

Once again, she addresses relationships directly. Sometimes telling the person directly how much you feel for them frightens, offends and hurts.

Annie Lennox – No More “I Love You’s”

Try to listen to the words but check out the contradictions in the video. Annie is great at what she does.

Happy New Year, 2011!

It's another year and some people didn't wake up to it!  Let's be grateful that we did!  We have another chance to do better than we did the year before!  Let's cherish the moments we have, enjoy the company that we keep, help others when we can, and tell the people in our lives how much that we appreciate them!
