4G in Cameroon

What kind of backwards progress am I making? My brothers and Sisters in Cameroon already have 4G and am still here wrestling with my 3G android phone. In my life, I have suffered*

Atlanta Week-end Deuxieme parti

My second weekend in Atlanta was so much fun. It's as  if the gods  of fairness decided to set back the balance of good and evil and compensate me with extra happiness for all the largely untold drama that had taken place the previous weekend. A crazy flight with stoppage to fuel up had me getting to Atlanta later than anticipated. As if I wasn’t tired enough, the rental car company I had booked spent almost an hour debating the legitimacy of the one alphabet difference in the  name on my driver’s license versus the one on my debit card. At which point the superior manager was called to settle the debate and upon pulling my record, found out that I had rented from the same company for a span of 3 years on my yearly summer trips to LA. ….see? it pays to travel! Suffice to say, Friday was a no show. I was dead tired and went straight to bed. They say you’re day is a reflection of how you wake up. I was about to find this statement to be true. Saturday morning, ...

Accountability

This weekend I participated in a conversation about social injustices in the black american community especially police racial profiling. This conversation spilled into Monday and now i feel the need to blog about my general opinion. Before I continue, I will like to make a disclaimer that Yes, there are minorities in colleges and in the work force. Yes, not all minorities are from the ghetto and many other things that one now has to do a disclaimer on because people are too stupid and will want to use you're generalization as a crotch instead of actually focusing on the argument at hand. Now, back to the topic at hand.  I am very certain that I have blogged about this before because this is a topic that I feel very strongly about.  As a first generation immigrant, living in america the first couple of years was HELL. As a family we suffered and struggled financially, emotionally, socially,...EVERYTHING-LY more than we had e...

Tipping the Balance of Accomodation

I don't remember the exact news media but i recently saw an article that named Beyonce Knowles as the most beautiful woman....i guess in the world? I'm not sure. I don't know if these awards or recognition typically pertain to a particular continent, country or the whole wide world. If the last option is true..well that's just plain ridiculous. Nevertheless, the thought of Beyonce being recognized as a global standard of beauty made me think about the recent rise or trend of "the curvy woman" being accepted in the world of fashion. I wonder if this acceptance is because the industry is trying to change its weight standards that causes many models to become anorexic...OR if the global rise in obesity is affecting the fashion industry the same way it is affecting others industries...Are they loosing clients because their clothes sizes run too small? are they hiring more plus size models because they don't want to loose the recently increasin...

Water Exercises

Its spring time! and with this warm weather, the pools are gearing up for business. If like me, you are constantly looking for ways to spice up your work out routines, the pool is a great place to exercise and cool off simultaneously. Water exercises have been proven to be beneficial for rehabilitation, pregnant women, arthritis & fibromyalgia patients and those with certain orthopedic non-weight bearing injuries . Also, it is sometimes a better cardio option to running for overweight individuals because the repeated pounding from running can greatly affect bones and joints such as the ankle,knees and etc My swimming skills are pretty average. I'll recommend non-swimmers to make sure there's a lifeguard around or have a partner who is an EXCELLENT swimmer even though some of the exercise routines can be performed in shallow water or by standing at a waist-deep level. Also for my competitive athletes,wearing webbed gloves or using foam ...
