Oh, uh...I forgot!

I created this account last September and never used it! Well, to be honest, I had a lot going on back then. I was not getting along with my-then roommate, and I had to eventually ask her to leave. That was a relief, let me tell you! Never again...unless it's one of my three kids or my soon-to-be-arriving-in-August-2007 grandson. It's outrageous! We already know the gender! Isn't technology wonderful? His name is Xavier. I'm so excited! I'm gonna be a NaNa! (I just rubbed my daughter Clarissa's belly--she's getting to the pregnant lady waddle stage!)

I do have another blog on myspace that I use fairly frequently. So what I will do is post on both sites, just because. So if you want to check out that blog, here's the URL:

I'll probably post more about the Bahai Faith on this blog, however. I don't know...I might get lazy and forget. Maybe I'll post some writing that I've been doing of late, too I'm gonna be one blogging fool!
Have a safe Memorial Day, and for my Bahai Friends, tomorrow morning is the Ascension of Baha'u'llah. I'm hosting the comemoration at my place. Actually, I don't expect anyone to show up, but that's okay. I'll do prayers anyway.

About Love (Love Actually)

Due to circumstances beyond my intellectual capacity to understand, I've been considering the subject of "love" a lot more than I want to lately. I suppose there a lot of reasons, the best of which involves seeing and hearing so many people talk about it in public. Just yesterday, while I was transferring from a light rail train to a bus, I overheard a young lady gushing to two friends, "I'm SO in love with James! Don't call me later 'cause I'm gonna be with MY honey!" I tried very hard to contain the gag reflex. Please give me props for at least considering that it would have been an unseemly act, and quite rude. So anyway, I've been noticing the actions of young people "in love" (lust) and wondering, was I like that once upon a time? I can't remember ever declaring undying love for a guy in the presence of strangers, but I'm sure I've done things that were equally ludicrous, like threatening to beat up a girl fo...

The guy is still kicking butt and taking names! (I accidentally published this before I finished the draft, and the only way I knew it was that I saw a link to this article on Phillipe's blog Baha'i Thought ! Good looking out, my brotha!) The following passage is from an article that appeared on sacbee.com : Marc Bertonasco, a CSUS emeritus professor and co- author of "Prose Style," a popular college writing text, also sees "The Elements of Style" as too restrictive. "Oh, it had influence on me, no question. It was the pioneer in what is unofficially called the new style – clear, straightforward writing aiming at efficiency. It's a reaction to bureaucratese," he said. "But I'm a classical rhetorician, and my position is this: No style is better than any other." I had to chuckle at the last quote. If that's true, Professor Bertonasco has mellowed considerably over the years. I remember sitting in the classroom and wat...

Emotional Incest

The article that I'm posting could have been written by me. I'm stunned that it wasn't because it tells my story almost precisely. There are some differences: I was my mother's confident and personal counselor; it was she who used guilt and rage to control what I did, how I felt, and what I thought. My father was the alcoholic, but just like the young man's mother, he was pretty much wrapped up in his own life. However, we do have similar nicknames given to us: his was "Honeyboy" and my father called me, "Honey". He still does. I have to say, I feel strange posting this. I'm not only violating my family's "don't talk about family business to anyone outside this house", but there's the larger version of the "don't talk" rule that envelops the African American community. This is sometimes referred to as "don't be putting your business out in the streets", or simply "don't be tell...
